THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1901. IB AMUSEMENTS. Tho last week has proven one of tho most satisfactory of the Reason to local theater goers, for tho reason that It brought two plays new to Omaha that are, delightful In every way. They were Otis Skinner's "Prlnco Otto" and James A. Horno'a "8ok Harbor." It has been only during tho Inst few seasons that tho public hag scon Mr. Skinner In any but tho classics. In the choice of his first play outside the Shakes pearean repertoire he was rather unfor tunate In not having a congenial role. When ho cnino to us two years ago with "Itosomary," Ills patronage was rather In different. The artistic presentation of this pretty little English drama so pleased thpsu who did flco It that last season, his appear anco in "The Liars" wa marked by much better attendance, although not anywhero near so largo as the finished performance given by Mr. Skinner and his company merited. Hut those "who did see It spread Its virtues, together with thoso of Mr. (Skinner as an artist, broadcast, with the result that when ho returned last week with "I'rinto Otto" there was scarcely 'a vacant scat In the theater. So Mr. Skin ner's position In tho good regard of the local patrons of the drama Is secure enough now, so that hereafter his appearance here will bo marked by a scramble for scats equal to that occasioned by the appearanco of fow stars (hat come this way. And why should It not be so? Mr. Bktnner has porsonal charm, a much larger hare of dramatic ability than many other more popular actors. He can appropri ately express a broad range of emotion; ho has diction, graco and a good sense of nrtlstlc proportion. Ho cannot only rise easily and gracefully to a strong dramatic climax, but ho can lift the climax to mo mentary strength when It bo somewhat feeble, as, for tnstnncc, tho sccno of the twin medals In the closing of tho council chamber episode In "Prince Otto." Mr. Bklnner ban learned much In a good school, since for years ho has appeared In support of great tragedians. Ho Is no "successor to Kdwln Uooth," however, or no young Uos "clus come to herald n rcnalssanco of poetic drama. Hut he Is an actor of good parts, who, by employment of speech, facial ex pression, pogo and gesture, can nlwnys clearly denote anger, hate, love, Joy and sorrow. Such an actor ought not to bo rare, but there are too few of Mr. Skin ner's rank, and he Justly deserves pop ularity. Of "Sag Harbor" there Is much that might bo said In praise, but It would bo merely repeating what has been said of all Mr. Herno's plays. Thoy are Idyllic, beautiful and appeal to every class of the ater-goer. In their quiet, easy way thoy present pictures of llfo that are always pleasant to look upon. They prove a tonic to thoso whoso nerves may be affected and make ono feel that life possesses raoro beauties than havo oven been visible beforo, It was rather unfortunato that Mr. Heme's Illness prevented his being seen in tho piece, but since there Is little In his plays that calls for any great artistic ability other than -mero naturalness, his absence had llttlo perceptible effect upon the per formance. I.Ike tho majority of the successful dra matlo stars of the present day who believe In the progression of the drama, Otis Skin ner Is ambitious to produce a different play each season, thereby giving theater goers more frequent opportunities of Judg ing his capabilities as an artist. In the course of an Interview while In the ctty last week Mr. Skinner spoke of his policy along thesb lines and his plans for next i season, as, follows: "I havo been an actor for nearly twenty years. Part of that time I have played In support of well known celebrities of the stago and of recent years I have braved a starring venturo myself. At first I was not as successful as a star as I wished to be. I could not account for It. I was appearing In standard plays by standard authors and my work was praised by dramatic writers, but fltlll the people aid not patronlzo me to the extent I thought they should. At lost I camo to the, conclu sion that tho standard authors ond plays wcro losing their popularity. I decided that I was not up to date, not progressive. Bo two years ago I secured tho rights to aa up-to-dato play and my patronage Imme diately Increased and haB been doing bo i each seaaon since. This Is the best evi dence to tne that the present day genera tion of theater-goers aro not partial to Shakespearean plays as a steady diet or thoso of other standard authors. Ofroursc, now and then a magnificent production like that Illchard Mansfield has given 'Henry V,' coupled with the remarkable artistic ability of an actor of his standing, will prove magnetic enough to bo profitable. I'll ven ture the assertion, however, that with all of tho exceptionally largo patronage that has been accorded Mr. Mansfield's 'Henry V this season ho has made less money than almost any other successful star. Tho reason lb simple enough. In the first place his production cost a fortune to stage and 11 takes another fortune to carry It about tho country. Hut whllo his season may not havo proven as much of a financial suc cess as some others, it Is certainly an ar tistic triumph for the genius of this great actor. This fact doubtless proves ample compensation for his efforts, since he Is al ready endowed with enough of the world's goods so that he Is njile to sacrifice finan cial gnln for art's sake. "Kor next season I shall havo a modern play, written by a member of the staff of the Drooklyn Eagle. It' Is a play with a religious background and I am to have the part of a clergyman, one that Is strictly up to date. Don't you think I will make u good preacher? Some of your co-workers In the newspaper field have, In criticising my work, referred to me as such, so I am going to take them at their word and try myself. Do I think, there is a greater demand for the play with the atmosphere or the church than those of any other? My friend, there Is a demand for any good play that Is clean, modem, thoroughly up to date. That means 'that It must bo amus ing, must possess heart Interest and touch upon all of tho different emotions felt by humanity and, above all. It must be well staged nnd well acted. The name of the piece has not been fully decided upon as yet. 1 have Bcveral titles In mind, but shall glo much consideration to all of them beforo adopting one finally. There Is much In tho name of a play nowadays, so much, In fact, that It is one of tho most Important parts of It. I hopo to stay longer In Omuha next season. I am much gratified by .the reception given mo by your people tonight. It makes mo feel that they are growing to like me and this means a great deal to a new star. There Is llttlo that I like more to know than that my ef forts are appreciated." bred," said In every way to equal "Tac tics," which he gave here last season. Hcrr Techow's trained cats will be one of tho big novelties Of tho bill. Tho Macagnos, three men, or, rather, two men and one boy, aro acrobats and equilibrists of the high est order. Thoy come upon tho stage In their ordinary street apparel and do some of-the cleverest work ever seen In Omaha. Tho great charm of their act Is the easo with which thoy perform really marvelous feats.

The regular mati nees will be given on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. A Wonderful Oculist! HONORED BY "TWO GOVERNORS, One of the most difficult positions which tho tlovernor of Imperial Missouri has to fill Is that of oculist In charge of tho State Blind School. He must mnkn this nppolnt mr.ni tvliluuit fnvnr or fear, nnd from U non-pattlsan standpoint.

Ho Is conceded to be the only mun living who can euro every Stuatt Robson possesses n sence of humor that makes htm amusing oft the sfnge as well as when he Is repeating the bright lines of some witty author for tho benefit of a large audience. Sitting In the. box ofllco of lloyd's theater beforo the matlnco of his recent Saturday engagement here he entcrtnlncd those who wcro fortunato enough to be there with a fund of amusing stories that kept his listeners In an uproar of laughter. Among others was ono on Joseph Jefferson that ran something llko this: "A number of years ago this great actor played an engagement In a small town, appealing as Hip Van Winkle. In the hotel at which he stopped was an Irish porter re cently landed. Judging by tho deep and seri ous Interest he took in the bouse he might have been mistaken for clerk, manager and proprietor all rolled In one. At about 6 o'clock In tho morning Mr. Jefferson was awakened by a violent thumping al his door. When he struggled Into conscious ness and realized that he had left no call at tho office he was naturally very Indlg nant. Dut as hla sleep was spoiled for the morning bo arose and, dressing him self, appepared bofore the clerk. 'See hore,' he demanded. 'Why was called at this unearthly hour?' 'I don't know, sir,' answered the clerk, I'll ask Mike.' "Tho Irishman was summoned. 'Why did ou call Mr. Jefferson?' Inquired tho clerk. There was no call left at the ofllco for him.' "Taking tho clerk by the coat tho Irish man led mm to one sido and said in a voice mysterious with Information to Im part: 'He was shnorlng like a horse, sir, and 01 bcerd one of tho byes say as how he war shlaplng onct for twlnty years, so sez to mcself, says 01, "Molkc, It's a comln' onto him ngln and' It's yer Juty to ot the craythur out o' the houso lm- medjlt." ' i' , In speaking of his first appearance In Omaha some twenty-five years ago. Mr, Robson told another rather amusing story as follows: "Wo wore to play here a week. I'll never forget It, for wo nearly starved. Our business was exceptionally bad. think $125 for the cntlro week covered our earnings. At that time a llttlo hotel about block below where the Millard now stands was the city's leading hostelry. Our manager made a very good rate for tho company I think $6 a week for board and room. After we had been there a couplo of days tho proprietor of tho hotel ap preached mo and suggested that ho thought he was getting the worst of the bargain Wo were eating heavier than he anticipated we would. It was at tho season of tho year when green corn vas ripe. Th?ro was large Held of It not far northwest of the hotel and I think our landlord purchased hla corn from the owner. He was ovl dently paying a good price for It and he asked mo how many cars I thought an or dlnary man ought to eat at a meal. I forgot that I was exceedingly fond of green corn and did not remember that I always stowed away from threo to a half dozen cars at a meat, I told him I thought two cars was enough for anything but a hog. So he said ho would mako that tho limit, two cars of corn apleco at each meal. Well, that evening I forgot our conversation and as the green corn was extra tender and fine, ate four ears. I noticed the proprietor keeping close watch of me, in fact he watched me during every meal I ate after that, but I did not understand tho meaning pf It until 1 received my bill for extras at the end of my stay. It read: 'To twenty extra cars of corn consumed by the human hog, Stuart Robson, $1 " case of granulated soro eyes, no matter how hopeless the easo mny seem or of how Inns stimllnir.

Friday night and Saturday matinee and night a company headed by George Clarke, for many vears leading man in Duly's New York theater, will present, "When We Were Twenty-One." Tho play Is purely a love romance and Its author, H. V. Esmond. Is credited with having created a story rich In Interest and originality, with enough of the humorous to please and not surfeit an Intelligent audience, and enough pathos to sway It. The story deals with the kindly care exercised by four middle aged gentlemen over tho son of a dead comrade, who had committed his offspring to their charge. The lad Is wild, and In' sowing his wild oats gives rise to many try ing complications, Mr. Clarko assumes the rolo of Richard Carowe, the boy's guardian, said to be a most ad ml ruble creation, In the development of tho supremo motive at tho play ho receives aid of the most Indis pensable character from Miss Estclle Car ter, who Is the center of tho love plot. Mr. Clarko Is 62 ears old and has devoted his life successfully to the stage, 4 MUSIC I S A compari3on of the musical columns of the Omaha papers on Easter Sunday with the Chicago papers announcing the various programs to be presented In the churches was one which mus( of necessity be very gratifying to tho people who aro Interested In music affairs locally. The standard of music sung this Easier which, has Just pasbed, compared with that of ten years ago, Is worth considering, and will make us ull tako a very optimistic view of the musi cal situation. To tho churches wc must look for musi cal development, because of the almost uni versal acceptance of the fact that good music Is a necessary adjunct to the ser vice of a flourishing and progressive church, which makes a showing of strength In a community. Church music lit Omaha was never In such excellent fchape as at present and the prospects are brilliant for tho future. In Easter, 1S31, The Omaha Dee, which then, as now, paid much attention to musical matters, contained scarce a column of Easter programs, whereas t hit) year, there were two columns of solid program 'matter. In 1891, at St. Phllomena's, there was a splendid musical presentation, CI marosa's Grand Military Mass being sung by a chorus of twenty-five volres, assisted by a bolo quartet and a full orchestra, under Mr. Salisbury. On that occasion Captain Klnzle sang, with a choir of women's voices, trained by Miss Swift, the celebrated "Laudato Pucrl" of Cappocci. Miss Fannie Arnold was director of the music and MIb Swift was the organist. ThU year a beautiful program was given, In which Mrs. Cobry, Miss Croft, Miss Ella Croft, Miss Dohorty and Messrs. Swift and Drcnnan sang the various solos. Tho Orphtum offers for the coming week threo acts Imported from Europe by the Orpheum Circuit company Amlcl, Techow and his cats and the Macagnos. The head liner of the bill Is James O. Harrows, who. assisted by James Lancaster and company will present his new piece, "The Thorough- Ten years ago St. John's Collegiate church (Catholic) echoed to the strains of Haydn'B Second Mass. tinder tho leader ship of1 Mrs. Durkhard, tho present organ ist, with Mr. John Schenk at tho organ and assisted, by Hoffman's orchestra. Miss Yewell of Washington was the contralto of the occurlon and Mrs, Martin Cahn sang the offertory "piece," (I quote from Tho Dee of that date), accompanied by Mr. Schcuk at the organ, and with a violin obllgato by Mr. Hans Albert. Mr. Revel Franco sang Mozart's "Venl Creator," nnd the full choir and tho soloists sang the "Reglna Coell" at tho close of the service, This year tho Paccinl mass waa sung, and tho soloists were MrH. J. Stewart White, Mrs. Dethge, MIbs Rose Drady, Messrs. Doyle, Murphy and Harry Hurkley. Trinity cathedral was the scene of elaborate musical programs. In the morning "God Hath Appointed a Day" (Tours) was sung, and the communion service by Sir John Stalncr. The offertory was to be "The Trumpet Shall Sound." from the "Messiah" (Handel), by Mr. Jules Lumbard. but owing to ms Illness Mrs. Cotton sang Instead "I Know That My Redeemer Llveth." This was followed by the "Hallelujah" chorus In the evening the beautiful cantata, "The Daughter of Jalrus," by Stalner, was given by tho full choir and soloists. This rear finds Trinity on a decreased musical ap propriation, but notwithstanding this Mr, Dutler, who was then organist, but has now added choirmaster to his title, pre sented a good program at the morning ser vice, Miss Hun gate singing the Easter solo mentioned above. At All Saints' church Bishop Worthing- ton conducted the morning service and the choir sang Florlo's communion service In D. Tho music which was sung then might shock some of tho present members who havo done much to promote tho Interests of tho church as It Is today. The morn ing scrvtco was thoroughly ritualistic In sofar as the music was concerned nnd tho afternoon service was very plain. This year the service made up In musical ex cellence what It may have lacked In ec clesiastical form (musically speaking) and the evening service was Urgcly given over to the sounds of many voices and tho play ing upon Instruments. An Easter cantata was sung In addition to other appropriate solos and anthems by as good a choir as has ever sung a processional within that edifice. Ten years ago Mr. Marshall was at tho organ and Thomas J. Tcnnel con ducted. This year finds J. H. Stmma or ganist and choirmaster. Southwestern Lutheran church, now Grace Lutheran, had a somewhat varied program then, but nothing was sent to The Bee from that church this year. At St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church a short musical program was pre sented by the quartet choir, consisting of Miss Georgia Boulter, Miss Grace Wlllbur, Messrs. Jay Northrup and William A. Der rick, with Miss Maggie Boulter at the or gan. This year, with H. H. Allen at the organ and K. D. Keck conducting, tho One choir of some forty or fifty voices pre sented programs of great musical excel lence, and, strange to say, the morning an them was the same as that sung Just ten Eastera ago by the above mentioned quartet. Westminster Presbyterian presents a marked contrast to the programs of 1891. Then Dr. John Gordon was the pastor and a few simple numbers were sung. Stalner's "They Have Taken Away My Lord" being the only Important one. This year Lee Kratz presented a fine program of solos, quartets and anthems. At the Kountze Memorial church the an nouncement was mado In 1891 that tho special features would be the floral dec orations and the music, furnlBhed by Mrs. IT. G, Llpptncott, organUt; a malo choir, the contralto soloist, Miss Francis Roeder, and violinist professor. To be sure, this sentence Is somewhat ambiguous, but as Dr. Baettcns' name Is on the program, I presume the "violinist professor" refers to him. An ordinary program was given. This year, under the direction of Dclmore Cheney, with Mr. Harnlsch at the organ, excellent programs were given both morn ing and evening by a large chorus, L. C. Hazelton and Mr. Cheney singing the solos andthe choir doing such numbers as the B minor Te Deum of Dudley Buck, "The Heavens are Telling" from tho "Creation," "Awake Thou That Slcepest," by Nevln, and "As It Began to Dawn," by Myles Foster. At the Immanuel Baptist church (Mrs. Alice Ctute, organist), a program was given by a doublo quartette lnvthe Easter of the year alluded to. This year The Bee had no program furnished by that church. At the First Baptist church the children had the music of the morning service and a program was "rendered by the choir In the evening," but no mention Is made of the choir. This year a very good pro gram was given, Miss Ellsworth and Miss Luella Allen being the aolotsts. The First Methodist Episcopal church had a very unpretentious program on tho Easter day of ten years ago, and In this church Is the change particularly notice able, Inasmuch as the congregation heard this year tho full choir of about forty voices, the choristers being robed In beau tiful Geneva gowns. Tho Madrigal quartet docs the boIo work of the choir. Each pro gram was 'closed by the singing of the fa mous "Hnllolujah" cborus from Handel's "Messiah." The First Congregational church which then knew tho sounds of the voices of Nat Brlgham and Henry D. Estabrook, has this year a constantly Improving chorus under tho direction of Mr. Walter Young, organ ist and choirmaster. Mrs. Ely snng tho offertory solo. Mr. Tabor played this EaBter in a Denver church. The Presbyterian church of ton years ago was the place In which Mr. B. B. Young sang. This year the musical programs were especially elaborate, presented by Mrs. Howard Kennedy, Jr., with the as sistance of a double quartet. The even ing service was one of the very best ever produced In that church. A very good program was given at tho Hanscom Park Methodist church this year by a large choir under Mr. Shaw, with Miss Thatcher at the organ. This church has also mado musical strides In the last decade. Ten years ago the music of Hans com Park Methodist church was non-existent! Unity church presents an Interesting study In development musically also. Mr. Garelssen and Mrs. Coe are singing there this year. This Easter the African Methodist church presented remarkably excellent programs and the fact Is worthy of especial notice that the selections were, generally speak ing, made from the best kind of music. Another church which has taken a won-' derful spurt Is thb Lowe Avenue Presby terian, where some of the best known pro fessional and amateur singers of Omaha have formed an Interesting choir under di rection of Mr, E. M. Jones. Grace Baptist church presented a short but excellent program this year, thereby making an advance on tho Easter of years back. In tba flUlxIrln rnnerecatlonal phnrrh the musical department was assisted by In strumental talent which assisted In making the service most attractive. At St. Peter's and the Holy Family churches tho music was equal, If not su perior, to that of ten years ago. In the last ten years tho following or ganists have made changes In their In cumbencies: Mr. Allen, from Presbyterian church to St. Mary's Avenue; Mr. Marshall, from All Saints' to Minneapolis; Mr. Tabor, from the First Congregational to Denver; Mrs. F. F. Ford, from tho First Congrega tional to Philadelphia; Miss Margaret Boul ter, from the St Mary's Avenue Congrega tional to the Synagogue; Mr. J. II. Stmms, from St. Paul's, Council Bluffs, to All Saints', Omaha; Thomas J. Kelly, from St Matthias to the First Methodist Episcopal; Mrs. Howard Kennedy, from First Presby terlan, Lincoln, to First Presbyterlap, Omaha; Mr. Green, from Unity to Boston, and Mr. Walter Young from Portsmouth, England, to First Congregational, Council Bluffs, thenco to First Congregational church, Omaha. In tho decado past two former organists have entered Into the higher grade, Mr. R. T. Allen, formerly of the Hanscom Park church, and Mr. Knep fel, formerly of Kountie Memorial.
