AMUSEMENTS.
It the attendance at tbf local theaters 1
during the last eck were to be used as
tbe basis of judgment one would scarcely i
be able to decide that the Listen season Is
a' Its belghth, for Instead of the usual
falling off In patronage that Is always no
ticeable at the play houses at this, the sea- '
son ot sackcloth and ashes, the week
sboed a decided Increase. In fact, at tbe
combination theater It proved a record
breaker In a way. DIanche Walsh sue-1
teeied In proving that Omaha Is not what I
manager of traveling attractions please to
call a "one-night stand." Miss M'alsh gave
four performances of the same play, "More
than Queen." and there were but few va-1
cant feats at any ot them. This teems to
be sufficient evidence that If the attrac
tion possesses sufficient merit, and the
jrlro of admission within the bcundi o.
reason. It can remain in Omaha half a week
or more with profit to l's owners. If the
managers of the companies who visit this
city could bo convinced of the truthfulnesc (
of this statement and would lengthen their
local engagements It would do away with
the necessity of the rough-and-tumble
rrramble that In tbe past has characterized
the advance sale of seats of some attrac
tion or rtar of prominence billed for but a
single performance, and what a boon it
would be to theater-goers for this reason
If no other. It may be added, however, that
there ore some plays and players who come
this way that might better shorten their
engagements or even abandon them al
together. Miss Walsh's engagement was not alone
a financial success, but an artistic one at
aril This brings to mind tbe fact that
two years ago she came to us as a co-star
vith Melbourne McDowell, whom local play
goers remembered on account of his former
association with the late Fanny Davenport.
lr McDowell was the drawing card at
that time rather than Miss Walsh. whose
artistic ability, was rather an unknown
quantity and whose right to occupy a stellar
position had been questioned by some.
What a change has been wrought in the
short time that has Intervened! Miss Walah
now come to us alone as a star and at
tracts exceptionally large audiences. What
a contrast, too, there l In the positions
these two people occupy today, as com
pared with that of two years ago. Miss
Walsh has by dint of hard and faithful
work elevated herielf to a position at the
head of all actresses of her class In Amer
ica, while Mr. McDowell has dropped from
M former pinnacle to the modest po
sition of leading man In a popular price
stock company, which at that Is even better
than he deserves when the possibilities
of his former opportunities are considered.
Some of the criticism to which Mr. Hum
phrey. Miss Walsh's leading man this sea
son, was subjected to by the fair sex and
not a few of their opposltes are rather
amusing when one takes Into considera
tion the fact that he was engaged specially
because his slie fitted him for the part ot
Napoleon rather than for a handsome lead
ing man. Fault was found with his height,
his face and his figure. At the matinee
on Wednesday, especially, mutterlngs of
disapproval were heard In the lobby. One
pretty little brunette remarked to her
companion something like this: "I don't
se how Miss Walsh can make love to that
little stoop-shouldered monkey. I am sure
I couldn't do It." "And Just listen." re
plied her frltnd. "he talks through his nose
and see what a temper he has. Why. I
should think she would sigh for Mr. Mc
Dowell ever' time Bhe plays the part with
this man. But do you know, I will wager
, box of candy that she did not engage a
handsome leading man for fear she might
fall In love with hlro, as she did with Mr.
McDowell, and there might be another
love story scandal like that Mr. McDowell
caused here a year ago. For my part. I
think this little fellow makes her look
ridiculous and I should think she would
consider the public's rather than ber own
feelings." These girls, like many other
people, did not stop to consider that Mr.
Humphrey's Napoleon was historically cor
rect In dimensions, assumption and man
ncrlrms. It Is one of those little details
that help to make a performance perfect,
but that Is so often overlooked by the av
erage theater-gocr.
There are few people In the dramatic
profession that are as studious or as well
read as Blanche Walsh. Miss Walsh Is a
rookworm, but she dees not go In for popu
lar novels of the day or light literature. On
tbe other hand, she devotes her attention
mainly to history and tbe works of stand
ard authors. Whenever she essays a part
If It la that of a character that has figured
In blMory one can be sure that her por
trayal will at least be historically correct
In an Interview during her visit last week
Miss Walsh said "I am not In favor of the
book plays that are so popular now. I be

lieve an audience can learn more from a
historical play, If it Is correctly put on. I
think as a general ihlng. It makes a g-eater
impression on the average tbeater-goer.
and It It is so ccnttructed as to teach a
moral or lesion, so much the better. Ot
tbe problem play? Well. I think It serves
Its purpose In a way. but I don't know that
1 should care to appear la one. Te41 you
something of my trip abroad last season1
Well. I went principally for the rest and
recreation, but I took advantage of the
opportunity while in Germany, France,
Italy. Greece and other European countries
to make a itudy of the foreign actors and
act r est ts. their methods and of tbe plays
used. Did I learn anything that would be
of bene3t to me In my art! Well, you know
travel is a great educator, and education la
a benefit to one everywhere and all tbe
time. But I can't say that I would care
to copy any of tbe foreign stars I saw. In
fact, I would rather be nothing than not
original, so I would not make use of any
of their methods, even though I thought they
were clever. It has been my lot to appear
In plays which have been first Introduced to
the publl.- by other and greater actresses
than myself, but never have I been accused
of copying any of them. I Ilk to study out
a part myself, analyze it thoroughly and
when I think I have It right I go ahead.
After I have convinced myself that I bare
It right I will argue tbe point with anyone
that criticizes my conception. If they can
convince my reason that I am wrong I
will alter, but If not. no matter how many
or who, I will not change. When In Italy
1 saw a man that I consider the greatest
aetor !u the world. Zacconl. I saw him In
twelve different characters, all as different
as you could Imagine, and in none ot them
could I recognize bis personality; he wag
simply the character Itself. I abhor this
thing we call personality, and I am striving
to get away from It on the stage. I do not
consider one an artist whose personality
crops out In ever)' part assumed. 1 always
strive to live the character and put my
whole soul Into It. for the time I am play
ing it at least. My Intentions for next
year? Well. I shall have two new plays. I
am not at liberty to give you their titles
as yet. Our season closes In May and I
shall commence work upon them ft once.
I am going to design my own costumes
and scenery, and this, together with the
work of creating the parts, will keep me
pretty busy. Of course I shall visit Omaha
nrtt season. The public has been so kind
to me here that I feel at home whenever I
come, and It shall always be a pleasure ts
Include It In my Itinerary."
Beatrice Moreland, tbe vaudeville star
who appeared here In an amusing little
sketch last week, will try a new venture.
She Is to Invade Germany with a one-act
comedy, something that Is practically un
known In the variety theaters of that coun
try. In speaking of her proposed trip Miss
Moreland said: "I have made pleasure
trips annually to Europe for tbe last eight
summers, and naturally I have spent con
siderable time In tbe theaters of the dif
ferent countries in Europe, and as I am a
German student I conceived the idea ot
trying one of my American sketches In
Germany. I have had a German transla
tion made of 'A Game of Golf and I have
It In rehearsal now, preparatory to pro
ducing It In Munich early this summer.
Tbe German people know- little or nothing
about the game of golf, so 1 have changed
the name of the sketch to 'Onkle Strohman.'
I do not see why It should not prove as
successful In Germany as It did In this
country. The foreign players come to this
country and succeed; why can't we of
America go Into their country and please
the people there? No. I haven't a drop of
German blood In me, but I like the lan
guage and have made a study of It. It I
succeed In Germany I shall try Italy, as I
speak fairly good Italian and can perhaps
perfect It by hard study. My main reason
In choosing Germany first, however, was
that I believe tbe people of that country
are more easily amused than the French,
Italian or even English. I have sat In a
German theater and heard a monologulst
tell stories and Jokes as ancient as Troy
and many without point, but the Germans
went to the theater to be amused and they
were In an uproar of laughter most of
the time. If I fall In my foreign venture
I shall return to this country to enter the
legitimate ranks again. I am rather tired
of vaudeville in this country and may pos
sibly be with Sol Smith Kussell again next
reason If, as I say, my German trip Is
not what I hope It to be. Hugh Morton
is writing a new comedy for Mr. F.ussell
to produce next fall and I have been offered
a part In It."

the matter. Clement Hopkins, tbe stage

! compliment to the local force. "They are

I MUSIC.
In the spring. It Is stated on tbe best
poetic authority, young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love, and Shakespeare
Is father ot the proposition that music Is
the food of love. What plans surge through
one's brain as these balmy and beautiful
spring days fill us with elasticity and hope
and courage.
Locally, conditions are In a profperous
condition. There Is a decided amount of
harmony In the musical world, In the rela
tions of musician to musician. Omaha Is
very fortunate In having many artists who
can see In each other many virtues and ex
cellencies, and an amalgamation of good
I a. u" ravu UlUCI 19 ItauiLlUft 1 U
a general coalition ot harmonious musical
, thought. The Jealousy which Is considered
a traditional Indispensable quality exists to
n inj iajf.c trAicui iu Luc iiaagiaauoa 01
outsiders.
We, as nr 'clans, do not receive tbe fair
ness which s.uld be accorded us. Tbe lay
man has a positive opinion that all music
ians are jealous, and tbe opinion Is ex
pressed In such a way as to give tbe Im
pression that all other professionals are ex
cluded from tbe spell of the green-eyed
monster.
Now. may I summon the musical people
to evidence for a moment, and put the
question- "When did you hear a lawyer an
nounce In the open places tbe sterling
qualities, the wonderful dlecernment and
tbe clear acumen of his professional oppo
nent In a lawsuit T" I have never been In
volved In a lawsuit, and trust I never shall
be, but friends who have been obliged to
adjust differences In tbe presence of a
judicial dignitary have not commented upon
tbe warmth of love and brotherhood .nd
courtesy and kindness exhibited by tbe vari
ous attorneys engaged.
Persons who have summoned their cour
age up to the point of purchasing a piano
have cever, I understand, been heavily Im
pressed with the exceedingly high opinion
one dealer held of the other's personality
and merchandise. I have many friends
amongst local physicians of wide repute,
but I have seldom heard one of tbem spend
much time In enlarging upon the wonder
fully clever manner In which an operation
was performed by another.
Now, these conditions do not Imply that
the lawyers, physicians, merchants and oth
ers are jealous of each other. They are
simply cited to show that because musicians
are n,ot continually lauding each other's
work It does not therefore follow that they
are victims ot that envious feeling which
sows seeds of discord. Many musicians are
continually doing courteous acts for one
another, and when all is summed up tt It
probable that there Is really at much ot the
milk of human klndnest In some persons at
in others, and In musicians especially.
In the spring, plans are made for musical
festivals and great undertakings. There
Is no choral society In Omaha, and no or
chestra, and no organized band for con
cert purposes. But there Is a thought de
veloping and some day soon It Is going to
bear fruit. The tremendous Interest which
has been recently awakened by the pres
entation of choral services at various
churches, which have been listened to by
audiences that have more than surpassed
the capacity of tbo sacred edifices, is a
straw which truly Indicates the direction
ot tbe forcible musical wind that Is blow.

the best church music, and are w lining to

bear and enjoy. Then, they are paying a
little better, and that Is a good sign. The
I collections at the churches where musical
services are being held are Increasing, and
tbe Increase, while It Is at yet small. Is
nevertheless encouraging. The time will
come when It will 091 be necessary for a
' clergyman to remind the people that It Is
. customary to give a small sum for tbe
support of tbe church. It Is necessary
now to awaken the slumbering conscience
occasionally, for we are all liable to for-
get that It Is more blessed to give than to
receive. Ot course there are people who
will occupy good seats and give nothing, no
matter what Is said, or what Is not said.
But those people are not serenely happy.
They are refusing themselves the "privi
lege," not the "duty," of donating. Let
not the humble giver take these remarks
' to himself. The clergyman who asks for
a generous contribution does not usually
, refer to those who are giving something,
but to that very large class of persons
I who forget to give. Anyone who goes to
church and discovers tbe fact, upon ar
rival there, that be has forgotten bis
change, can receive the benefit of giving
and comfort bis conscience by mailing on
Monday five or ten stamps to tbe clergy
man of the church. The discerning con
tributor can see ot course that this plan
will cost him I cents more for the stamp
affixed upon the letter, and "there Is an
other outlay. Uncle Sam reaps tbe benefit
ot the musical services thereby, but we
could let blm have that, to go toward the
maintenance of tbe Marine band! So you
see how very far-reaching these musical
services can be. In their Influence, and how
contributors can minister to tbe support
of great aCalrs.
It has also occurred to me In watching
the street cars on the occasions In question
that the Omaha Street Railway company
should be waited upon each Monday morn
ing for its contribution to tbe collection.
The men In that organization are gentle
men who are prominent individually, not
only as representative leading pillars ot
commerce, society and enterprise, but also
of philanthropy. The Street Railway com
pany reaps a financial benefit from the
events, as can be easily seen, by the traffic.
Now let us take as tbe smallest number
attending a big musical service, 800. Not
more than !00 of these people live near
enough the church to find It unnecessary
to avail themselves of street 'car "lnfa
cllltles." Therefore, we have 600 persons
paying 10 cents car fare, to and from
home, which gives us the handsome sum ot
SCO! Methlnks If a church treasurer In
Omaha found himself confronted with such
a collection he would receive a shock not
to be easily overcome. This Is a low estl- i
mate. Now take the one Omaha church
whosa capacity is l.tOO, and figure the re
sults In car fares from an audience which
overflows the building. And there might
be an allowance of a little made for tbe
Council Bluffs fares.
What a convenient and practical thing It
would be to provide each usher with a
pocketful ot change and have a cash regis
ter system worked, as It Is on the street j
cars, each one admitted to the church pay-
Ing a nickel. i
In tbe spring let each one's fancy turn
to giving, doing and extending good wishes
and kind thoughts, after tbe manner ot
