THE OMAIIA DALLY BEE: SUNDAY, "MAY 2H, 1001.
Amusements
Last wetk, tho final one ot the winter
leason at the local theaters, will long rc-
mala green in the memories o! theater
goers who saw K. II. Sothcrn's splendid
production and excellent performance ot
Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Not since the last
memorable visit of Edwin Hooth to this city
some twelve years ago have we seen a pro-
Auction or performance of this preat play
that could bo classed with Mr. Sotbern's
His Hamlet is a handsome and graceful
j lncc. Sothern's clustering dark hair, his
handsome mournful eyes, bls broad pale
brow, hi fine profile are all excellent fea-
, , ., ,,,., ti.u.
turcs of a fine portrait of Hamlet. Uesldes
being good to look at his Hamlet Is a well-
considered, moderate, tasteful. Indisputably
intelligent piece of acting, set In a number
of carefully planned and suitable pictures
If It lacks the force, thrill or uplifting ef
fect of great tragic acting, It docs not, on
the other hand, shock or annoy anyone
with trivial "new readings" and Illustra
tive "business" that serves no truly artistic
purpose. It Is, abovo all other qualities,
discreet and it reveals a larger number of
positive merits, too, than might havo been
expected from an actor who heretofore has
been seen In comedy and romantic parta
only.
To many the news that Mr. Sothcrn's
success In "Hamlet" has ted him to believe
that the public will accept from him a
higher class of drama than has hitherto
been his particular bent, and that he hopes
to devote his attentions especially to
Bhakespcare hereafter will como as some
thing ot a blow. With the name ot Sothern
misty visions of D'Artagnan, Captain Let
tarblalr, Rasscndyl como so Inevitably that
to loso the, distinction and rcassoclate his
name with a Hamlet or a HIchard stems at
first a well High Impossible, task. Hut such
Is tho artist s desire.
"I bcllovo that It Is a bad thing," he
said during the course of a conversation last
week, "to becomo associated with one par
ticular class of drama. It limits, It restricts
one's raugo and In public conception one
will never reach high objects through this
course. 1 wish to cut away from that dis
tinctive class of romantic drama Just as
when I took It up I cut away from pure
comedy. There 1b no greatness In one
thing alone.
"I bcllevo that tho tlmo Is well ripe for
fi Shakespearean revival. Shakespeare Is
not 'over the heads of the people' as han
o often been stated. There Is to much to
his plays; fo much meat. It Is a pleasure
to play them. Shakespearo Is alive with
human Interest; why should his plays lie
dead? Without meaning to set myself up
as necessarily being right on tho subject, I
think that precedent haB Injured the great
plays of Shakespeare. A stilted atraosphero
was Introduced; an unnaturalness. I mean
that certain things which had nlways been
produced In a particular way had to be
produced In that manner to satisfy the audi
ence. I wish to be natural. I try to be
as I think from my own conception of the
part tho character would bo In life. Tor
Instance, In soliloquizing one does not bawl
his words. How often the soliloquies of
Bhakcspearc's plays are given In a di
dactic, superior sort of manner, as you
remember tfafy were spoken from the dec
lamation platform In school. I recall with
what lnlmltablo fashion my father used to
'tako off' somo of the contemporary heavy
tragedians of his time, it was laughable."
Then Mr. Sothern rolled out In a deep,
terrific volco that might havo proceeded
from tho tomb, "To-be-or-not-to-be, that-is-tho-questlon,"
and It was certainly remi
niscent of old days and stage strides. "I
try to form my own conceptions ot what I
em to produce. Next season I am going
to bring out 'Much Ado About Nothing In
New York. I have never seen It played."
Speaking of Hamlet, Mr. Sothern said:
"Some reoplo say that 'Hamlet' plays It
self. I have, however, found It the most
arduous work that I over undertook and I
don't know now whether I can play It. The
author of tho 'Human Mystery In Hamlot'
declares that Shakespeare Intended tho
character of his hero as a typo of humanity,
nnd that each of us must interpret the role
for himself. Who, then, while seeing him
self In type, will entirely agree with the
tctor who presents it? Somo say that the
play should never be acted, yet has not
tho clearest light been thrown on this char
acter from the stage?
"Every man who plays Hamlet will no
doubt lend something of himself to his in
terpretation. No two actors have played
tho part alike. Whenever two men discuss
tho play there will bo two opinions. And.
while It Is, of course, wise, and even neces
sary, to study carefully tho best standards
and to observo tho best actors beforo essay
ing the character oneself, Independent and
original thought Is as valuable In the actor
as In tho commentator. Much of the under
standing of Hamlet's character has been
founded on the Illuminating impersonations
of actors, and it is interesting to observe
how. In writing, cither In praise or blame,
of any performance some wise men mod
estly refrain from stating what conclu
sions their own original thoughts produced,
and generously give RTeat promlnenco to
tho light thrown on the character of Ham
let by Booth, Irving, Forrest and others,
tho conclusion of these players appearing
to havo made a deeper Impression than tho
arguments of the commentators, and the
champions ot each actor defending that
actor's Interpretation as violently as
though the work had been nis own.
"For my part, I am nlways glad to seo
even a fairly good performance of 'Hamlet.'
There is something to learn from every
man who plays It; and. Interesting as are
the commentators and wise as are the wise
men, I can go to tho theater for relief from
either.
"I bellovo that Hamlet was entirely sane.
Only his conversation with Polonlus and
with Cu'ldenstern and Rosoncrantz does ho
put on an antic disposition, entirely content
to fool them. His scene with Ophelia hai
not even tho simulation ot madness. It Is
tho natural result of the state of mind in
which tho Ghost's revelations havo left
him. Horror at the discovery of his uncle's
Kullt and his mother's shame have put him
nt war with tho world and with himself.
He would flee from Ophelia at her first ap
proach, but his great love restrains htm
Distrustful of everybody, she gives him rea
son to distrust her. He pours out his
tumultuous feellngb In a paroxysm of pain.

I "If this be Insanity It Is that sort which
the law recognizes as emotional Insanity,
jand which may seize the sanest man at an
'overwhelming crisis."

the speech to the players, for Instance
Why, that splendid bit of prose drops trip
plflgly from the tongue. Moreover, In that
very speech Shakespeare records his own
views that naturalness and simplicity
should rule the stage."
Then the actor indulged In a little dls
cufslon on dramatic criticism; "When I
was producing 'The King's Musketeer' I
was universally criticised at first for being
too small to play the part. Now, It always
struck me from reading tho book that one
ot tho particular humors ot the situation,
when the ycung country boy undertakes to
fight with the three best swordsmen In
France, is that he Is small; not as large as
a man and yet too large for a boy, as tho
author describes blm and his three antag
onists are all good-sized men. 1 flattered
myself tb&t I was especially well calcu
latcd to play D'Artagnan, but the critics
would have me otherwise. And why? Be
cause a series of large men had happened
to ploy the part before me. They had left
an imprcsMon on the dramatic critics which
was apparently deeper than tho word pic
ture of Dumas. Fortunately, the public
does not always follow such criticisms. In
'Hamlet' I have been censured for weeping
over the body of Polonlus. Careful study
of tho latter part of tho play will evince
the fact that the queen refers to this fact
Furthermore. It accords with my conception
of the character of Hamlet. If I may be
pardontd the utterance, I think critics too
often get their education for criticism from
the actors themselves. They ought to form
their own conceptions from reading the
plays and having their own Idea:. With
one man's style In the head carried as a
cntiTion n fair Judgment la marred."
There are few people who possess such
a noticeable Individuality as the popular
actor of romantic drama. There Is In Mr,
Sothern's style of jpeech and address off the
stage something of the magnetism that has
Mon for blm so many friends over the foot
lights, though he Is anything but stagey
In speech ho Is Intense, seldom relaxing to
tho extent of a smile, but always genial in
tone. He has a bit ot Impulsiveness In con
veriatlon, grasping and turning over the
subject of discussion so rapidly that It re
quires n quick brain to follow. His eye
Is steady nnd fascinating, his color good.
and his mouth seemingly too delicate for
a man's, although not In the least cffcml
nate. Although Mr. Sothern does not look
largo on tho stage, he Is not u diminutive
man by any means.
This week marks the opening ot the stock
company season In Omaha and we aro to
have for tho summer what promises to bo
a really good one. The performances given
by the Redmond Stock company, which held
forth at Boyd's theater last year durln;
the hot season, were hardly up to the stand
ard set by Its predecessor, tho popular
Woodward company, and probably bad the
effect of somewhat dampening the public's
ardor for popular-priced stock company per
formauces. However, there promises to be
a reversal of conditions this season, If
Manager S. M. Bear, who Is to havo charge
of tho theater, speaks truthfully,
"My visit to Omaha with a company last
year," said Mr. Bear, "was in tho nature
ot an experiment. I did not know exactly
how expensive a company your city would
support and In order to protect myself, of
course, brought as cheap a one as I could
obtain. But I havo discovered that It was
far too inferior for Omab'a, and this year
I flatter myself that I have as good a com
pany as can bo gotten together to play for
popular prices. I know tho people of this
city will support it as soon as they learn
of Its merits. I might mention the fact that
among my peoplo aro several who have ap
peared with some of Charles Frohman's
companies and I think this should be suf
flclent recommendation as to their merits
as Mr. Frohman never employs any but
capable actors and actresses. We shall
give the people, too, a lino of plays that
will doubtless surprise them. Among them
I might mention 'L'Alglon,' 'Sweet Nell of
Old Drury.' 'Brother Officers "Sherlock
Holmes," 'Under Two Flags' and other cur
rent Now York successes that have as yet
never been seen here. As was our custom
last season, we will put on two plays each
week and all I ask Is an opportunity to
demonstrate tho merits of the Ferris com
pany to tho peoplo. I am sure it will not
be found wanting In any particular.'

Elaborate preparations are being made
for the opening of Krug park on Thurs
day, May 30, as a first-class summer rc
sort. Mr. W. W. Cole, who Is known as an
experienced and capable amusement di
rector, wilt be at the helm of the new en
terprise. The park Is well located and Is
well grown with fine trees and pretty
shrubbery and flowers. A large amount o
money has been expended erecting build
tngs and equipping the park In an up-to
date manner. Over 1,000 electric lights
have been hung, so that by night the placo
will be brilliantly illuminated. Refresh
roent booths have been provided and a first
class meal will be served at the cafe at a
nominal cost. A nierry-eo-round. mechnnl
cal shooting galleries, bowling alleys, cane
stands, baby racks, quarters for animals
and birds, swings and many other features
calculated to Interest and entertain vis
ttors are scattered throughout the park
Lorcnz's concert band of thirty pieces will
render two concerts dally. The special at
traction at the opening and for the first
four weeks will be W. W Cole's shows, al
lied with Morris Bros." pony and dog show.
Over ISO trained animals will take part In
the performances, two of which will be
given dally. A playground has been ar
ranged for the little ones; courteous and
obliging attendants wilt be kept on hand
nd great pains will be taken to make this
tho headquarters tor mothers taking the
children for an outing. Regular car scrv-
Ico has been established on the Walnut Hill
line right to the gate of the park. Transfer
tickets will be furnished from all other
lines, making the fare only 5 cents each
way. As a tremendous crowd Is expected
on the opening day, extra cars will be run.

Musical
It Is always Interesting to know how a
man wrote a popular book, In fact, the
money paid for an article on how I came
to write the "Bonnie Bridal Brush," or
Red Porridge," or "When Night Hoods
Were In Style," U qulto an Incentive to a
man to write something.
Well, hunting recently through the dusty
archives of Omaha's music I came across a
sero and yellow parchment which bore the
Inscription "How I Camo to Write My Song
Dreamland,' by Johannes Edouard Butler."
Attached thereto was a small slip of paper
which had been torn, but part ot the printed
legend thereon was still Intact, and read:
"Tho editor returns manuscript hcrowlth
and thanks tho writer for the opportunity
of perusal. The rejection of a manuscript
does not necessarily mean"
Part of the Btory of that song which
Mr. Butler wrote and which Is very popu
lar locally, Is as follows: "How did I
happen to begin with the words 'Those dear
gray eyes?' I will tell you. It was on a
hot summer day, somewhere between the
vernal and autumnal equinoxes that I was
wandering down to my atelier, formerly
called my studio, when my attention was at
tracted by a small crowd of people look
ing Into a window In which were displayed
a great many optical goods. I stopped and
looked, and as I looked I saw, and seeing,
gazed upon two gray eyes rolling back and
forth In the head of r wax figure. Be
neath the figure was a tray full of eyes
and I read the legend that the gray ones
were $11 a pair. I considered the price
exorbitant, so I hastened to my studio and
wrote 'Those Dear. Gray Eyes," with an
accent on tho dear."
Of course I showed tbo parchment to Mr.
Butler and asked him If It was authentic.
and he said "yes." That was his only ex
cuse for writing the song. On being asked
why he did not write any more, bo replied
with a tear In his bright blue eye: "Alas
I cannot. My Inspiration Is gone. I
passed that shop the other day and found
tho same eyes marked down to $6. So they
are no longer dear." Little children, this
Is tho true story of how a great man wrote
his favorite song.

The action on rag-tlme music will not
be or much power, I tear, because there is
so much ot it to be played at dances and
other festivities, and the band that will
not play It will not get tho engagement, as
a rule. U all depends on the peonle. But
I would that the recent convention of Music
Uuds ederatlon had taken some such
action. It avails little for musicians to
et together and pass such resolutions
when many of them are obliged to earn
their bread and butter by playing for the
amusement of tho people whose musical
organism has not risen above the coon
song. But it would nvall much If such
organizations as the women's musical clubs
and the musical federations, etc., would
take a decided stand, not only in the ag
gregate but Individually, against "yellow
music.
There are women who will go to a meet
ing and prate by the hour on how- the
cause ot music Is flourishing in their
various sections of tho country who will
bring In report this and report that and
who will turn up a hypocritical optic and
pose nnd talk ot art for art's sake, but
It will not occur to them to stay at home
and keep the rag-tlme music sheets from
tho piano rack teach their children to
learn some common chords, As long as
women are doing this the cause of music
will not be advanced by all their con
ventlons and associations and what not,
As long as so-called reputable teachers o
music defend the "Jolly rag-tlme music," as
many do In Omaha, there Is no use In
"whereaslng" about Its evils. As long as
the Individual musician refuses to state
emphatically his Individual creed as ,to
what music ought to be, the conventions
may Just as well go fishing.
There Is no half-way course In real art.
If music Is an art. It is; if It Is not an
art, It Is not. But It cannot be, and not
be, at the same time. Music for the heel
and eolo is not music for tho head and
toul.
A good story Is going the round of the
friends ot Mr. E. D. Keck as to a recent
rehearsal of one of his classes of young
ladles.
Scene A studio. Time Common time.
Mr. Keck, (loa j) Younir ladies, try that

"Try It again. Do not mind these girls
wno are smiling silly laugns. lou are
aoing very nicely."
Mr. Keck, surprised at the unusual con
duct of hit pupils, in ridiculing a fellow
pupil, proceeds with the rehearsal. H
discovers afterward that tho young Mil
Smith was making her first attempt at tb
work and was cot her twin sUter who bad
revlously been a member ot the class, but
was absent on this occasion. Mr. Keck
tells me that It Is the most remarkable
case ot vocal 'twln-ness" he has ever had
brought to his notice. Not only are the
olces of the girls exactly alike, but they
have a similar defect In the use of the
tongue on certain owel sounds.
Mr. Gahm, the eminent local pianist, will
give a concert on Tuesday evening at the
Kountze Memorial church and will play on
that occasion a number of his own composi
tions. Mr. Max Baumelster wil play a con
certo by David and Mr. Keefcr will assist
as accompanist. Mr. Gahm has written a
number of songs, some ot which are nt
present In the publishers' hand. It Is
more than likely that most of his songs will
be published by one ot the best known and
most reliable houses In the country. Four
of these will be sung by Mrs. Thomaa J.
Kelly, soprano, and the titles are, "I Saw
Thee Weep," "Do You Ask What the Birds
Say?" "Lullaby" and "When Thou Art
Near." The last mentioned has a beautiful
violin obllgato which will be played by Mr.
Gahm himself, who Is a violinist of high
rank. His tone is full and round and his
style Is masterly.
Tho concert, for which a great many tick
ets have been sold, promises to be a dis
tinct success. Mr. Gahm seldom appears
before an Omaha audience and when he
does he always attracts tho Intelligent
musical people, on account of his deep
musicianship. Intellectually, as well as his
technical and emotional qualities.
On the same night a program will bo
given at the First Congregational church
under the auspices of the Union Pacific
council of the Royal Arcanum and under
the direction of J. H. Strums. Mr. Strums
has secured enough people to make a most
excellent showing, but It was very unfortu
nate that no other night could be chosen
than tho one on which Mr. Gohm's recital
had been announced for, weeks ahead. I
havo repeatedly called the attention of the
local musicians to this matter ot Interfering
with each others' dates, but It docs not
seem to do any good. However, I will keep
It up. Thero will be no local concert of
any moment for n few weeks, then behold
two nnd three concerts on the same night.
This case was largely an accident and the
Arcanum people aro not to blame and cer
tainly Mr. Gahm Is not. I hopo they will
each have a full house. The assisting
artists will bo Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly, so
prano; Miss Harpster, soprano; Mrs. Neely,
tenor; Mr. Dan Wheeler, tenor; Mr. Steck
elberg, vlollst; Mr. Walter Young, organist,
nnd the Dudley Buck quartet of Council
Blurts.
Mr. Walter Wllklns has be?n suddenly
called out of town on a trip over the Union
Pacific system In connection with his busi
ness. Ho has been reluctantly compelled to
cancel several engagements on this account,
one of them being the Arcanum concert.
At the 11 o'clock service at All Saints'
church today tho choir will sing a Dudley
Buck Te Deum and Bencdlctus and will
present The Ascension music. Epilogue and
Finale from the cantata "Christ the Vic
tor." In the afternoon Wood's Magnificat
and Nunc Dlmlttls nnd Dudley Buck's "The
Lord is King" will be given.
The pupils of Mrs. Theresa Merges will
give their annual concert on Friday evening
next at Patterson hall. The participants
will be: Misses Evelyn Hopper, Su6le Gra
ham, Jennie Hempel, Lulu Gamer, Virginia
Merges, Ethel Robertson, Myrtle Huse,
Marie Shelby, Hazel Rodgers, Margaret Mc-
Clatferty, Gertrudo Chllds, Llna Elbournc,
Leona Yates, Alice and Gladls Chandler,
Ivy Lee, Grace Ward, Isabelle and Sidney
Taylor; Buelah Davis, Kitty Lowry and
Rhea Wallweber from South Omaha and
Belle Woodbrldgo from Council Bluffs. Mrs.
Challls, Percy McGotf and Miss Daisy Hig
gles will assist.
At the Westminster Presbyterian church
today the quartet, "Tho God of Abraham
Praise," by Pontius, and the octet, "As
Pants th Hart," will be sung. Mrs. Syp-
herd will sing "Tho Plains of Peace." And
that reminds me that a good many people
use the word octet when they mean double
quartet. An octet consists of eight separate
parts and not eight separate persons. A
quartet (that is, a tour-part composition)
sung by eight persons Is not an octet, but a
double quartet. I have asked several times
nbout this word and about "sextet" and Mr.
Kratz' announcement reminds me that this
Is a good time to answer publicly.
