Last week mi one of no especial moment I
In Omaha, theatrlca.llr. the onljr thing out
oi me ordinary ceing tne appearance of
Jlm. fiembrlch and her supporting company
ior one nignt at Boyd's. Mme. Sembrieh's
place In the musical Armament Is fixed and
large number of Omaha people took ad
vantage of the opportunity to gaie on tfali
star of first magnitude. In one respect
Eembrlch Is unique. She believes In giving
her hearers the best she can and for that
reason only sings three times each week.
She spent two whole days In Omaha, one
In absolute silence and seclusion, prior to
her appearance. In order that she might
have full use of her magnificent voice, un
impaired by the slightest fatigue. It Is this
fidelity to a high artistic Ideal and a con
scientious appreciation of what Is due the
public that has made Mme. Sembrlch the
popular and successful favorite she Is. Her
In'erest In affairs of others was clearly
shown on Wednetday night when she tat
In a box and gave vigorous expression to
her enjoyment of the West minstrel
program. Her applause whs most gen
erously bestowed on thf vocalists, the
clear, aweet contra-tenor of Dick Joec, com
ing In for Us full sbare.
West's minstrels gave a matinee perform
ance to a handful of people, find then en
tertained a good crowd at night. Karller In
the week "Brown's In Town" made fun for
a lot of people. At the vaudeville housei
pood cards were presented to only fair
business.
Hilly Wesfs name has been before the
public for more than a score of years In the
front rank of minstrel shows, yet Mr. West
Is far from being an old man. He Is first
remembered In the west In connection with
the famouR company that crossed the con
tinent away back In the 'TOs. Milt Harlow,
fieorge Wilson, Ocorge 1'rlmrose and Wil
liam H. West formed a quartet whose names
will be coupled together during history as
having what was probably the greatest
"black face" troupe that ever faced an au
dience. It was too strong to hold together,
though, and two of the names Darlow and
Wilson are only memories now, while
Trlmrose and West arc still warm rivals
for public favor and prestige on the min
strel stage. The "while face" Idea now In
vogue among minstrel men Is Billy West's
own. and hp has developed It as well as the
elaboration of Mage tctting and the refine
ment of his program until he has an enter
tainment that Is not only thoroughly up
to date as to features, but Is In a class by
Ptelf ns to quality. "Something new" Is
his motto. During tbo course of a little
talk In his dressing room Wednesday after
noon he said, speaking of the absence of
a former popular member of his company:
' He In n clever and refined comedian and a
good fellow, but the people want novelty.
I am glad lie is doing well In vaudeville."
One nr ember of the West company never
changes. It would not be West's min
strels If the name of Illchard James Jose
were left off the list. That voice which
has sung so many ballads Into popularity
and which has furnished year after year
the hasls for the amateur whistler's ef
forts, from his one visit to the next. Is
as welcome In its annual recurrence as
the coming of the seasons in theirs. One
would hardly think from Mr. Jose's
present appearance that he ever went hun
gry, or that he Is a blacksmith by trade.
Such are facts, however. He was born
In Cornwall, England, his parents being
poor. An uncle who had n blacksmith
shop In one of the little forgotten mining
camps In Nevada sent for the boy when he
was young and raised him up to bo n
smlter of Iron. Before Jose had reached
manhood, his uncle died, and be was left I
alone In as desolate a deserted village as. I
white people ever starved out of. He 1
finally made his way to San Francisco, and
there his wonderful voice attracted atten
tion. His first appearance In public was
at a church concert, and from that time
on his hands knew not the bandit of the
forebammer. nor did the bellows blow
again for him except those of the organ.
HIr success was made, hut with success
came m change In the man who had suf
fered hardships as a boy. He Is as modest
as he Is big, and as genial as one could
ask him. It Is difficult to get him to talk
of himself, although he will chat freely
with an acquaintance on current topics or
matters connected with his business.
Mme. Modjeska writes from the south to
deny a rumor which has been given con
siderable publicity by the press of this
country, to the effect that she Is to retire '
permanently from the stage after tho close
of this season. In part she says. "Al
though this Is my farewell tour of the
south. I shall continue on the stage for
another season at least and possibly longer,
filling engagements in the north and east.
Yqu know It Is pretty hard after one has
tvntMi thBir ilf in th t tn tv it ,
and It Is doubtful If I ever shall as long
as I live and retain my strength and

tain her health rigor remarkablr well ;
and la an capable of entertaining us as
ever She Is the last of the great trage-
dlennes of this country and her place will
be hard to fill, although, perhaps, Blanch
Walsh could probably come nearer doing
It than any other actress we have In
America today.
With regard to the ability of an actor or
actress to retire from the stage after a i
life spent upon It until forced to. Stuart
Robson. who is one of the veterans In th
business, said In the course of a recent
interview in Chicago. "When a man or
wotran becomes a player and has won suc
cess there Is an indefinable something al
most like virus which enters the system
and makes a dropping of the old life an
lmrosslblllty. The feeling, I think. Is
stronger In a woman than In a man. When
last I met Ellen Terry we discussed the
subject. "I cannot even think of such a
possibility as leaving the stage,' she said.
'I must face It before many years go by,
but what life will hold for me then
1 rannot imagine. I understand ex
actly the feelings of the man who In
rented the phrase that he wished he might
die in the harness.' Miss Terry speaks. I
think, for the whole profession."
In a recent article In the Tltnes-Heraid
.man B Olover. the well known Chicago
dramatic critic, gives us a piece of theat
rical history of sufficient Interest to make
If worth rcprlntlnc. "The first dramatic
performance on this continent by a regular
company was given." says Mr. Olover, "at
Williamsburg, then the capital of Vir
ginia, on September 5. 1753. Just 149 yeara
ago this fall Shakespeare said the first
official word. In a dramatic sense, on this
ccntlnent. as 'The Merchant of Venice' whs
the play on this occasion, followed by
David Garrlck's afterpiece entitled 'Lethe,'
at that time very popular In London.
"The company engaged had Just arrived
from England, after a tempestuous voyage
of several weeks, during which rehearsals
were constantly In progress on shipboard.
We can well Imagine the fair Portia Mrs.
Hallam struggling with 'the quality of
mercy' speech during the more realistic In
tervals of seasickness, while Shylock's un
happy issue from the duke's court must
have been tinged with additional agony
through those qualms Induced by a heavy
sea. An, original prologue was written for
this first performance, which has a swing
of Its own that may warrant the quotation
ot a few lines: ,
"To this new world from fam'd Britannia's
shore
Through bolstrous seas where foaming
billows roar.
The muse, who Britons charmed for many

Now sends her servants forth to tread your
stage.
Too oft we own, the stage with dangerous
art
In watUon scenes has played the siren's
part.
Vet If the muse, unfaithful to her
trust.
Has sometimes strayed from what la pure
Hnd Just
Has she not oft with awful virtuous
rage
Struck home at vice and nobly trod the
stuge?
Made tyrants weep, the conscious murderer
Stand,
And drop the dagger from his trembling
hond.
Then as yju treat a favorite fair's

Pray spare her foibles for her virtue's
sake.
And while her chastest scenes are mado

"From this time there was a Elow and
hesitating growth of the American stage,
retarded by the Puritan spirit of the pilgrim
fathers, examples of which we occasionally
see to this day In cases where Intelligence
is not a handmaiden of piety, and hindered
also by the unformed condition of the coun
try and the poverty of the masses. It re-
malned for the nineteenth century and not self right loudly and. generally speaking,
the first part of the period to develop an right well. In tho opinion of Dr. Dam
instltutlon which has now built a cordon ot I rosrb there is nothing of the proper Ideal

"A Stranger In a Strange Land," tho
Anglo-American comedy that had such great
success at the Manhattan theater. New
York, last season, comes to Boyd's theater

night. It is to b presented here under
the direction of Messrs. Sam Thall and P.

and Walter Vincent. It is said to be

nnd to be exceedingly funny from start to

large and efficient chorus, said to be com
posed of the prettiest girls who have ever
appeared here with Mr. Wilson.
"The Sorrows of Satan" will be seen for
the first time here Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at Boyd's theater. Those who are
jfamlllar with tho story will realize that It
could not properly be presented on the stage
without an exceptional cast and accessories
ot an unusually roatly and elaborate
character, while those who have seen any
of Mr. Brady's other productions, such as
I "Mile. Flfl" or 'Way Down East." know-
that h would not attempt this, even it It
wero possible. Marie Corelll's admirers
may therefore safely anticipate an entirely
adequate presentation of this strange tale
of the devil on earth,
If there Is one thing more than another
that the people of Omaha enjoy it Is
comedy good, clean and sharp comedy.
The program for the coming week at the
Orphrum Is made up almost entirely ot
this kind of comedy. Out of the multi
plicity of acts presented at the Orpheum
this season there has not been one that Is
as hilarious, yet not offending In any way,
as that offered by Foy and Clark In their
"Spring of Youth." The "fashion plats sing
ing duo." Kelly and Vlolette, are well
designated. They are stunning dressers,
very much up-to-date, and can really sing.
Callahan and Mack, Celtic humorists, will
be naweosiers at the OrDheum. but they
given length of time Scott and Wilton,
grranaits. who appear th farraer and
the college athlete, will have something
new In the line of eccentric acrobatic work.
Lk Hawklm, styled th "Chesterfield of
Minstrelsy." U also on the bill. Few
mcnologists have been able to keep them
selves so long before the public and still
maintain a high standard. Tltrot Is one
of the greatest mimics on the vaudeville
stage today. His delineations of the
characters of the day Is something wonder
ful. The regular matinees will be given
on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. The
management, having had so many requests
for another amateur night, has decided to
hold a big amateur carnival In the near
future and all amateurs desiring to appear
are requested to communicate
with the
manager as soon as possible.
Tho Gay Butterflies Burlesque company
commences a week's engagement this after
noon at Mlaco's Troeadcro with what Is
said to be a very strong aggregation of
talent. The program offered Is a melange
of good things, both operatic and farcical,
opening and closing with burlesque. In
the way of talent posfessed by Its members,
the elegance of costumes and the beauty of
Its stage settings It has few equals.
Vaudeville features of the highest class
are present in profusion, the program In
cluding Amy Nelson, comedienne. Leslie
and Curdy, in n few songs: Gllson and
Perry, comedians; Barth and Fleming,
sketch artists: John Connors, acrobatic
comedian: John T. West, rouslcnl comedian.
The opening burletta Is called "Life In
the Metropolis." and It Is a bewildering
spectacle. "Scenes In the Divorce
Courts." a travesty on divorce proceed
ings, closes the entertainment. The engage
ment is for the entire week with dally
matinees.

3 MUSIC. E
Mr. Frank Damrosch has been express
ing himself on some subjects with which
he Is fcmlltar and be has expressed hlm-
verc. if ho is quoted right by the press,
for he is made to say that the more ex
cellent (musically) Is the quartet, the less
fit they are for the position of leading the
worship of God.
It Is not In my rrovlnce to discuss that,
and perhaps Dr. Trank Damrosch has had
painful experience. Of course there is
the tendency to become too commercial In
our Ideas in connection with such music
as is furnished by a "fashionable" quar
tet. For we learn to speak of our twelvo-hundrcd-dollar
soprano and our flve-hun-dred-dollar
soprano, and our fifty-dollar-a-week
singers, and so forth.
Mr. Whitney Mockrldge would be able to
furnish some Interesting memoirs If he
wished, relating to his experience as a
member of high-priced quartet choirs.
When hU abode was in this country he
had ample experience, for It must be re
membered that the four-tolccd choir Is
purely an American institution. He told
me a good story when he was here last
which I will reproduce as touching upon
the discussion In question. Ho was visit
ins a certain church In another city which
was noted for Its remarkable condition of
being free from debt and for the splrltual-
I Ity of Its members. They loved music
aDj believed In it, but they did not want
any "official" music, as It were, In their
church. So. knowing this, Mr. Mockrldge
said to bis friend, a prominent member ot
the church, a man of great piety and little
worldllncss, "But my dear Mr. , you
have left no room here for a choir!" To
which the friend replied. "No. we have
not. Our congregation .will be the choir
and when wc have overcome the trio nf
world, the flesh and the devil we will try
a quartet."
I have often mentioned In this column
my antipathy to tho choir of four per
HinK, and can heartily echo all the musical
objections given by Dr. Damrosch. but yet
we must not forget that the Ideal choir
U the quartet nnd chorus. There need
not be necessarily a great amount of
stress placed upon the quartet, as Indi
viduals, and they should be led to remem
ber that they are there to assist and elab
orate, and augment the work of the choir,
and Lot, as Is too often the case, feel that
the choir Is there to augment their work.
There are many portions of anthems
which should be sung by good aolo voices,
and there is no doubt In my mind that
God would Just as soon hear a thing dono
well as badly. The fact that a person's
tolce la trained Is no .proof that they are
In a state of sin and wrong-doing. I
have known some professional singers who
were almost saints in their dispositions
and characters, and I have known some
amateur singers who were not examples
of "rntlr,e sanctlflcatlon."
One of the greatest benefits from the
large choir Is the fart that the great works
can be. presented, the great masters ex
pressed properly, and the congregation
personally Interested In a higher class of
music. And the percentage of young per
sons studying the art of singing In a church
which has a large cbolr will be found to be
larger than In a church whose musical
apprrilatlon l satisfied with quartet work.
I believe that the choral works ot the
Catholic church have done much to cement
the young people of the church Into bonds
ot ecdestastial love, and musical sodalities
which hare had a potest Influence on the
growing intellect, emotions and Impulses.
Of fours, the one thing needful In such
a choir Is a good choirmaster That,
after all. Is the all-Important issue. The
man within the baton must first under
stand hymnology, church music, histor
ically and practically, the art of accom
paniment, and then he must have magne
tism, firmness, tact, Impartiality and an
all-absorbing, overwhelming love for the
work of the choir and the service ot the
church. A man like this cannot be had
for the asking. He is worth money In
any community, and if he does not get It
In one place he will In another. He
cannot tor long hide his light under a
bushel. For men will talk.
The mistake made In connection with
the chorus choir Is this, namely that when
one wants a good choir It Is not the time
to decrease the salary of the organist and
choirmaster. Chorus choirs are usually
adopted for economy. It should be re
versed. They should be considered a val
uable Investment.
Beecher alluded to choirs once when
speaking of the good, old-fashioned hymn
tune sung by the whole congregation, which
seemed to take him up to the very gate
of heaven. "But. yesterday," he said, "the
slngtng was done by four people and It
took the congregation up to the choir
gallery, about four feet above the pews."
Dr. Frank Damrosch Is entitled to speak
on the matter of choirs and choral work,
for be has done a tremendous work in ad
vancing the cause of music amongst peo
ple who are ofttlmes neglected, that Is the
working classps. His popular classes, and
choral unions, and singing societies have
dono a great amount of good, and their
influence has only begun. He Is a worthy
successor ot bis Illustrious father, Dr
Leopold Damrosch. and Is doing as useful;
a work In his line as his brother Walter
Is in his widely different sphere.
Today. March 10. being the sixty-second
anniversary ot the birth of one ot the
very greatest American composers, and
believing In keeping a man's memory green
while he is alive, the First Methodist
Episcopal church choir will present tonight
a musical program made up entirely ot the
works of Dudley Buck, who In the year
1839 was born In Hartford, Conn. This
will be the last program la the scries
which has been In progress at the church
mentioned, and the chronology of the pro
grams has proven an Interesting study In
development of form and composition.
Handel, Mendelssohn, Gounod, Dudley
Buck.
Mr. Buck Is still with us, In the body as
well as In the snlrlt. He Is a stronc
factor In matters musical, and It is hoped otncrwise. on account or us seeming sim
that he will be for years to come. His in- ! pUclty. The "Nunc Dlmlttls." by W. G.
fluence or a composer of church music has ! Wood, will be sung by the choir, In addl-
been powerfully felt and his ballads and
arias for the concert stage have been and
are gems of the art of writing a ballad.
His musical-dramatic works have also
achieved distinction. His "Golden Le
gend" was presented here some years ago
by the Mondamln Choral society, with full
chorus, soloists and orchestra. It was the
prize competition of the Cincinnati May
festival ot 1SS1.
The Dudley Buck evening tonight will be
gin at 7.30 sharp. Mr. McCreary will
sing "Fear Ye Not. O Israel." a solo which
Is very well known by church goers. Mrs.
Kelly will sing the beautiful soprano solo
from "The Golden Legend" entitled "My
Itcdecmer and My Lord," and also the solos
My Light," with Mr. McCreary (tenor).
The quartet. "O. Gladsome Light." will be
sung by Mrs. Kelly, Miss Davis, Mr. Conk
llng and Mr. Roy Moore. The choir will
sing "Bock of Ages." a difficult test for the
powers of a full choir In'dellcacj- of phras
ing, tone-quality and rllraax. Also th
allclulatlc sequence, "The Strain Upraise."
The organist will play an tdylle. "At Even
ing," the "Barcarolle." from the previously
cited dramatic work, and a march-postludc.
The following pathetic and beautiful ac
count of a "Narcissus" episode was re
cently published In the Pittsburg Dispatch-

of those pathetic triumphs that rannot. un

circles, Mr. Garelssen and a Chicago so

a program ot songs preceding the Liza Leh
mann cyole. in both ot these muslcalei
there will bo the added charm of having
the accompaniments played by Mrs. Her

from the standpoints both ot interpretation
and sympathy.

for he Is heralded In many ways, Alfred
Farland. the Inimitable banjolst, will pre

have heard Farland play have nothing but
terms of the highest praise In which to
mention his work. It is more suggestive I
jot harp playing than banjo playing. It Is
an Interesting study to note what a soul

ment as the banjo. Mr. Farland's program
will be worth some thought.
At All Saints' church this afternoon Mr.
Slmms will play the "Grave" and "Adagio"
movements from the second sonata for
organs, by Mendelssohn, and the "Grand
Chorus." for organ, by Salome. Mrs. Myron

50,000 students were enrolled last year.
From the letter files ot the Institute ono hundred names were tnken nt random.
Letters were addressed to these persons, nsklng them to tell freely what they
thought of the Institute and the benefits they had derived from the Instruction.
The replies received were a revelation. All had achieved success to a rreater or
less degree, and In many Instances the results were simply astounding, almost be
yond belief.
Extracts from the replies of six of the students arc given herein without com
ment: Mr. Frank Muehl. Falrwater. Wis., writes: "I have thoroughly tested the
practical value of Personal Magnetism and Hypnotism ns expounded by the New York
Institute of Science, and 1 am agreeably surprised at the results. This information
Is Invaluable. I see life anew. Wonderful possibilities bavo been opened up to me."
M. B. Furry. No. 417 East Second Street. Wilmington. Del., writes: "I hypno
tized a young man within three hours after receiving my first Instruction. He could
neither sing nor dance. I made him sins three coon songs nnd dance a regular
buck dance he thinking he was a stage performer." K
Dr. Abble Heath. 71 Dover Street. Bc.ston. Mass., writes: "By the Information
received from the New York Institute of Science I cured n Mr. Scott of tho tobacco
habit In two treatments. It Is now six months since, and ho cannot touch tobacco.
I have used Hypnotism several times to control the excruciating pain of cancer
and to eradicate pernicious habits In children."
Prof. J. Ernest Trudel. Hcdleyvllle, Quebec. Canada, writes: "Dr. Sage's
wonderful course In Personal Magnetism and Hypnotism Is tho only work of Its
kind containing Information that any person can readily learn and apply. It certainly
reveals the secrets of personal Influence; It develops in one a power, a force of
character that I did not think It possible to acquire."
