Ilrothcr' circus hero on Friday ami a new
lino of attractions at KniR's park, local
amusement lovers found plenty last week
to keep them occupied despite the fact that
nono of tho theaters was open.
Tho cool rvonlnBs which have made lite
uorth llvlnt? tho last ten days and which
do not usually manifest themselves until
early In September, may he the means of
causing tho Orpheum to open Its doors a
week sooner than expected and In all prob
ability Sunday, Aticuft 25, will see the
Initial performance of tho first week's
vaudeville bill of tho season of 1001-2.
Owln to tho rcdccoratlon of the Hoyd
It would bo lmpoeslblo to hasten the open
ing oven Is the management were disposed
to do so. With tho Orpheum open the last
week In this month, which Is only two
weeks away, being compelled to wait a
month for tho Hoyd to open will not work
such a hardship on theatergoers as would
otherwise. These cool evenings ure a trlllo
unpleasant to spend In parks and too
plcasunt to remain at home.
It has been definitely settled that I rules
and his band nro to appear here this sea
son. Tho announcement Is authorized by
Mr. Innrs' manager. This will Insure a
lino treat for all lovers of band music, and
their numbers aro almost legion In this
city. InneH and his organization, now en
gaged at tho I'an-Amerlcan exposition, aro

mlsslsslppl exposition In 1SS8, when they
played an extended engagement. There la
no other band Just like this organization,
it so arranged that It gives symphony
music and does It without change of a
note. This Is remarkable, but Inncs Is al
ways doing tho remarkable. That Is ex
pected of him.
Illanche Walsh, who Is a gicat local
favorite, Is to havo n new play this year.
It Is to be a dramatization of S. H.
Crockett's romantic novel by Jeanetto
Glider, entitled, "Joan of the Sword Hand."
In It this promising young emotional ac
tress will bo given nn opportunity to realize
n therlshcd ambition. Those who havo
read tho novel from which tho play is de
rived will rennmber that tho Duchess Joan
of lloheiisteln. In order to see, as men
eo him, the man to whom Hho Is betrothed
goes In main attire to his principality.
Miss Walsh has long desired to play a main
part. Her llrst attempt nt It was madu
recently at Ullch's gardens In Denver, whero
shu is playing n summer stock engage
ment, nnd, according to newspaper
reports, did It creditably. In "Joan
of tho Sword Hand" sho will, liow
iv sr. have a better opportunity to gratify
hur desire, since If the play Is ft success
sho w.ll retain, tho character for an en
tire season. Tho play compels her to dis
guise l erself In doublet nnd hoso and Im
personate a boy of tho middle ages. A
trim nnd pretty boy sho will make, too.
Sho Wll open her tour In Detroit tho mid
dle of September nnd will be seen hero In
Novomber. Her supporting company will
number thirty-four peoplo nnd will In
cludo: Itobert Lowe, Krrol Dunbar, Mason
Mitchell, ltnymond Whlttakcr, W. I'nton
(Slobs, Kills Hyso, Itobert Harold, Hcrlram
llrown, Frederick Harris, Thomas Law
rence, Maud Granger and Chnrlotto Nlllsou.
Otis Skinner has engaged for his leading
woman during tho coming season handsomo
Marcla Van Dresser. Miss Van Dresser
will be romombcred by local theater-goers
its a contralto singer who appeared hero
two years ago with tho Hostonlans. This
was her llrst and last operatic venture,
however, and last seuson Hho returned to
tho dramatic stage, appearing In support
of Viola Allen. Uoforo sho Joined tho Hos
tonlans sho was n member of Augustln
Daly's company, Sho has been an actress
for a number of years nnd besides beauty
possesses histrionic ability of a high de
gree. Mr. Skinner plans that sho shall
taku the rolo of Frnncesca In "Franccsca
dl Klmlni," which ho Intends to rovlvo in
elaborate fashion.
It Is now announced that tho rumored
visit of tho famous Italian actress, Eleanor
Duso, to this country during the coming
Hcason is to bo a reality. George C. Tyler,
manager for ono of tho theatrical syndi
cate llrms, returned from Europo recently
with a contract in his pocket for tho np
pcarnnco of Duso In America for a season
of fifty performances that will bo given
in a tour which will Includo tho lending
clttcR of tho country nnd commenco early
In October. Undor her contract sho will
not bo called upon for more than four
performances n week, unless- in caso of
emergency, nnd then tho number shall not
exceed five. Four of tho D'AnnunzIo plays
will bo Included In her repcrtolro, viz:
"La Glaconda," "Cltn Mortc," "II Kuoco"
nnd tho D'AnnunzIo version of "Franccsca
dl Illmlnl," which Is said to bo a marvel
of strength and power. Slgnora Duso will
bring her entire company with her and
there will be no variations in tho casts,
unless occasioned by Illness, from tho be
ginning to tho closo of her American sea
son. Duso Is just now in the very zenith
of her powers, Is In tho very perfection
of physical health and It Is believed will
surpass even all her former marvelous
work. Another Important contract Is that
made with Mr. Hall Calno for tho dramatic
rights of his now story, "Tho Eternal
City." Tho manuscript of tho dramatiza
tion Is now complete nnd Mr. Tylor waB
amazed at tho gculus tho author has shown
In weaving his material Into dramatic
Bhapo The piny deals with grave political
nnd social problems and In tho play,
as In tho book, ho has environed theso
with an Interest that Is Bald to be so ab
sorbing and thrilling in its naturo that It
can scarcely fall to hold an audience. Tho
fascination that nttaches to "Tho Chris
tian," which has not been equaled by any
play of recent years, will. It Is said, bo
found to be fairly surpassed In "Tho Eter
nal City."
At Inst tho association of vaudeville play
ers which was organized last winter and
which is known ns tho White Uats Is to
glvo up the ghost. Tho Washington Tost
lecently said tho following regarding tul3
organization:
Tho last net In tho comedy of tho Whlto
Hats, tho vaudeville players who tried
to control tho managers, was presented
last week, when tho organization decided
to abolish tho rule that prohibited KaU
from looking engagements through regu
lar ngents. This removed tho last vestlgo
of tho original plnnk of tho brotherhood.
It was formed, llrst, to compel managers
to book actB through tho Whlto Rats' ottleo
and, secondly, to nbollih tho commission of
5 per cent charged by managers for book
ing acts. Tho managers promised to
abolish tho f per cent commission, but be
fore they had a chanco to do so tho foolish
btrlko of tho Whlto Hals was declared.
Note tho result: First, tho managers
havo shown their ontlro Independence of
Whlto Hats and of vaudevlllo Itself by
booking stock companies nnd other or
ganizations, such ns will play nt Chase's

theater th'a season, sci-ond, nearly every
Wilto Hats' art has been thrown out of
employment, preference being given by
vnudcwllo managers to such nets as re
mained faithful to contracts during the
r.trlko; third, tho managers refused to
book acts through the White Hats' olllce.
nnd so tho ollk'e has been abandoned, and,
fourth, the White Hats now have to pay
ngents tho samo commission of G per cent
which tho managers would willingly have
surrendered If the strike order had not
been Issued. The White Hats hae gained
nothing and lost everything. Members nro
resigning every day. Dues arc backward.
Even death claims on behalf of members
guaranteed by the White Hats have not
been paid.
Tho White Hats seem to have adminis
tered n deathblow to old-style vaudevlllo
and It Is now n serious question what they
will do this winter.
A wholesale desertion from vaudeville
to tho legitimate seems Impending. The
current now llow3 in nn opposite direction
from that of several seasons ago. A dozen
big hendllners have already made arrange
ments to play In tho more legitimate
theaters. Hone Coghlan goes starring
again, Dlgby Hell returns to comic opera.
Mario Wnlnwrlght becomes a stock com
pany star, Hobcrt Hilllard becomes a real
star. Oils Harlan heads the Hovt repcr
tolro company, under the management, of
John Dunne; Mr. nnd Mrs. Edward Mil
ton Hoylo go out In n farce comedy. Etta
Iltltler goes Into opera, CIsMe Loftus Joins
E. II. Potlurn, Arthur Sldman stars In
rural comedy, nnd many other minor
vaudeville performers have been engaged
for subordinate parts In vnrlous companies
Now acts nre cropping up In vnudevU'e.
nnd, perhaps, the new will be better than
tho old. At any rate, there is certainly
something doing In the vaudevlllo realm.

Dalbey's band nt Manawa is becoming
more populnr every day. This excellent con
cert band, under tho masterly direction of
Mr. C. W. Dalhey, has Attained that smooth,
precise stylo of playing which Is so desirable
nnd seldom found In bands. Mr. Dalbey Is n
musician of great tnlrnt. but quiet and un
pretentious and hn3 brought this band to a
point of excellence that few realize. The
band has never had n rehearsal slnre the
first of June, playing the most difficult
pieces In public for the flrft time. He has
that wonderful knack of keeping his nun
together, encouraging, supporting nnd
keeping their confidence, so that every
member plays with ease, and grace. The men
Bay they ran play more and better for Dal
bey than for any director they ever played
with. Ono of tho band's latest favorites Is
u selection from "The Runaway Girl." The
band Is plnylng this week tho llrst copy for
brass that has been nut west, receiving It
direct from tho London publishers. The
bond has many ndmlrers among the music
lovers. Some havo never missed nn evening
concert since tho band opened nt Manawa.
Ono commendable feature of this band and
one that Is very encouraging Is that a largo
mujorlty of tho members of this organiza
tion havo permanent homes In Council
)luffs and Omaha. An excellent program
wll bo given this afternoon.
Tho noxt nnnual picnic of the letter
carriers will bo held at Krug park on
Thursday, August 29. The committee of ar
rangements received propositions from ft
number of out-of-town resorts, but de
cided It was best to keep tho event at homo.
Upon investigation It found tho facilities
for handling big crowds, tho equipment for
n day's enjoyment, Including high-class
amusement, very good nt tho Krug and are
suro nothing will bo left undone to mako a
big success.
Tho latest Improvement contemplated at
Krug park Is a plungo to accommodate
about f.00 bathers, tho water supply to be
furnished by artesian wclU and heated by
steam so that It can bo kept at ft dcslrftblo
temperature for a long season. It would un
questionably bo well patronized, as
thousands of men and women would wel
,como tho Installation of a plungo with a
good supply of clean water.
Krug park will hold forth today with a
list of freo attractions as largo as any yet
presented. Tho Introduction of Chambers
Celestial choir In conjunction with the
"I'aRslon Hay" has proved to bo a very
pleaRlng and successful Innovation. During
the presentation of approprlato scenes from
tho "I'asslon Play" tho choir will render
"Tho Holy City." "Must Jesus Hear His
Cross Alono?" "Calvary." Rock of Ages,"
"Nearer My God to Theo" and tho Chris
tian hymn from "Quo Vadls," nnd as a
preludo "Hecauso Ho Loved His Mother

MILWAIKEE. Wis.. Aug. 9 -There is
"nothing Join" In Chicago Just now except
tho dally departure of hundreds of emi
grants who flee from the wnlls and pave
ments to the many summer resorts within
a few hours' sailing distance. The music
on the boats Is, of course, execrable, and
I can assure you that from my personal
observation there Is a noticeable "tired
feeling" toward tho stuttering monotony of
ragtime music. My understudy will, I
trust, do this full Justice). Tho people nro
becoming restless and they want some
thing new. What will It be?
There Is a problem to think out. What
will bo tho tong of the next few years?
Anyone who cares to listen nnd notice
can see that the syncopated "coon" song
hns had Its day. I saw a remarkable In
stance of this tho other night. I went to
hear the Thomas men play n certain over
ture that I was Interested In, the "King
of Yvetot." by Adolphe Adam, that flnu
old classic French writer of generations
long gone by. (Incidentally, 1 cannot un
derstand why this beautiful opus Is not
heard more frequently). Well, on the same
program was a selection of "King Do-Do"
music. The allegiance of Omaha people to
King Ak-Har-Hen Is nothing as compared
to Chicago's fealty to King Do-Do. It Is a
catchy musical comedy, twin-sister to "The
Hurgomnsttr," nnd so similar are tho twins
that sometlmer you can not tell them npart.
The point of present Interest lies In this,
viz.: that while there Is somo original
nnd effective music written a In rag, It la
merely listened to by the nudlenco, but
when the really fetching melody of the
"Tale of tho Dumblebec" Is plnycd the audi
ence goes wild. On the night referred to
the composer, Lenders, happened to be
present, with Plxlcy. his librettist, nnd on
Invitation of Mr. IMrlch ho conducted tho
number personally. It was quite Interest
ing. Everyone In Omaha has heard the strains
of the "Tale of the Kangaroo" and the
"Bumblebee" Is on tho samo order. A
year cr so ngo these pretty little sketches
would hnvo bean "passed up" In favor of
tho noisier "rag" music. Cannot ono seo
tho trend?
It looks as though the popular song of
tho n?xt few years will bo on tho order
of the songs Just mentioned. The Idea
of a pretty, restful melody nnd n graceful
refrain In waltz gavotte, or minuet form. Is
a growing one, nnd It Is worth watching.
I heard tho other day that n Kansns City
man wns negotiating for tho appearance of
tho Thomas orchestrn. with vocalists of na
tional reputation, In Knnens City and
Omaha next season. I hope you can have
this corroborated. My Information, while
nungcr. ought, from its source, to bo au
thentic. In this bonutlful city of Milwaukee, tho
cleanest In the United States (I am told),
I am stnylng for a few days. Last evening
the party of which I am one mado a trip to
Whltcflsh bay. I wanted to bo nblo to use
tho enchanter's rod and transport tho whole
business to Dundee Place. Such clear placid
water and benutlful qulot scenery. Your
musical critic threw stones Into tho limpid
depths, considering each stono a former
enemy or enmity, nnd then, hnvlng seen
them disappear, ho contemplated the trnn
qull sceno nnd thought of things to be de
veloped and given to tho patient readers of
your music column next winter. Let mo
urgo every Omnhan visiting Chicago on
business to tako tho lako trip on tho Co
lumbus. Yon can lcavo nt D:30 a. m., visit
Milwaukee for a couplo of hours nnd bo In
your hotel in Chicago at 10:30 tho samo
night. Tho ono day will furnish health and
contentment nnd rest midlclent to equip
you for a week's hard work. This Is not a
paid advertisement. I was obliged to pay
my own way.
And a word to tho "Understudy." I can
not but express my deep senso of gratitude
for tho almost perfect adherence to the
instructions given. I eagerly look for tho
Sunday paper to seo what new thoughts aro
being advanced. Thero aro a few technical
terms which havo been misplaced. Now I
distinctly told tho "Understudy" to avoid
technical terms ns ho would tho plague.
Dut, llko most beginners, I see ho Is rush
ing In whero nngcls fear to tread. Techni
cality is a rock on which manv nn nm.
bitlous young writer has shattered his skiff,
and I grievo to seo the tendency of my

j THOMAS J. KELLY.
Ilr. .lolin l-'lutic.
j ELKHORN, Aug. 0. To the Editor of The
Heo: Of late I havo been reading n great
I many articles about Dr. John Flske; how
he plunged Into Latin at the age of 7 and
' nt 3 began reading Greek, nnd how at 12,
when he should have been playing "shinny"
1 with other boys of his age, ho wns devour
ing Virgil, Horace, Tacitus and a score of
other old fellows; and, again, how he mas-
tcred German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Hebrew and Sanskrit before he
, wns IS.
1 In truth It is an appalling list. It Is
but natural that an ordinary person should
have the feeling that to have met him and
talked with him would havo hern n grievous
undertaking. Hut all this Is a mistake.
Now that the sad news of his death has
I come I nm reminded of how 1 once met
him In St. Louis at the home of Dr. 0 ,
tho famous oculist. The host and his wife
I were llrm friends of Dr. Flskc's and at
their house he spent many dcIUhtful even-
I Ings.
Now, In none of the accounts of the great
historian have I scon It mentioned that he
had a most musical baritone voice, mellow
nnd strong. He sang, ns be did everything
else, enthusiastically and untiringly. On
tho evening when I was one of the com
pany he begnn at S o'clock and sang till
midnight whole books of Schubert, Schu
mann. Mendelsohn. Rubinstein nil In the
orlglnnl German. If you are familiar with
Micse beautiful song books you remember
that there are generally half a dozen duets
Just nt the end. These wo did together
In English, I furnishing the soprano. They
went off with largo gusto, but the one
which won tho greatest applause was Men
delssohn's "Oh! Wert thou In tho cnuld
blast!" Dr. Flske was a hugo man, and
I was a slip of a girl Just turned 15. We
beenme rather excited, and the good doctor
swayed like a kindly elephant as ho poured
forth the melody "My plaldle to tho angry
alrt, I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee." I
do not think that tho peoplo who were
present at that little performance will ever
forget It. I know I never shall.
Several years afterward, when I was In
Stamford, Conn., nt Miss Aiken's school.
Dr. Flske lectured nt tho Stnnford club
house. I hnd told of his love for singing
nnd rather fearfully and hesitatingly a
little note had been sent him nsklng him
to tea at tho school, nnd to "pleaso bring
your music." nless yowl he was delighted,
and came with an Immense armful, and
after supper sang song after song In tho
big school until he was obliged to leave to
catch his train for New York.
Dr. FIske's singing "The Two Grena
diers" was a magnificent sight nnd a lino,
stirring Interpretation he gave that famous
war horse.
Music seemed to havo no difficulties for
him, nnd ho sang tho most bowildcrlng
songs with entire ease. His poor accom
panist was apt to have somo bad moments.
Ono who read Indifferently might as well
glvo up In tho first place, for tho good
doctor exercised tho prerogative of all
groat singer and led his accompanist n
merry chase, now rushing tho tempo llko
mad nnd again stopping a bit for breath
and effect.
It is always Interesting to know that a
great man hns his play time like the rest
of us. That such a tremendous scholar as
Dr. Flsko doted on singing takes the awe
out of tho Sanscrit and strikes a friendly,
responslvo chord that makes ub warm to
his personality without fear.

of The Hco, I took It for granted that one
Issue of tho paper would terminate my
career, for so far ns 1 knew at that tlmo
Mr. Kelly was fixed for n round-trip ticket
when ho left Omaha for Chicago.
Hut hero I am, grinding out my third
contribution. Several things have con-
' spired to prolong my connection with the
musical department. First, the continued
absence of tho ovel study; second, tho fact
that I like to write, and third, because
I've made such a hit with the higher stratum
j of musical circles that I can't stop. Can't
stop.
A young man entered my studio the
other day and asked for the musical cdl
1 tor of Tho Dee.
"I am It," was tho dignified reply I
gave him.
Then ho left two pieces of sheet music
! on my desk and nsked me to review them.
' Ono Is culltled: "She Thought Her Ijve
i In Vain;" and tho other Is, "For You
i Alone." The young man gave the name of
Adolf nittm.tn, n Chicago composer, who
has written several clever things,
j "I nm Just passing through Omaha,"
I said he, "and I called to lenvo you theso
pieces of new music. I trust you will llko
j them."
Slnco I wrote of "Here Lies the Mick
Who Threw the Hrlck; He'll Never T'rovv
j Anohter," n wheelbarrow load, more or
. less, of new music has been dumped on
' my desk by ambitious composers. I have
! not had time to review all of It, but so
far as I havo proceeded It all looks good
1 to me.
A particularly dainty air, resonant with
melody of the higher order nnd entirely
devoid of anything cheap or tawdry. Is a
piece entitled: "1 Guess I'll Hnve to
Tolegrnph Ma llaby." It takes a singer to
sing this, but this column Is devoted only
to the Interests of singers and players.
Like the breath of new mown hay from tlv
banks of tho Niobrara comes a song copy
right MDCVCXLD entitled: "Whose Ileen
litre Since lfo Ileen Gone. Of courst It
Isn't nn absolute certainty thnt anybody has
been here, hut that's part of the song
This pleco will perhaps do very nicely
for a llller to keep the audience In n good
humor while tho machinists lubricate the
hinges of the orchestrion.
If I nm still allowed to contribute to
this department In Tho Hee I may have
something more to say next Sunday, In
eluding a review of a beautiful new piece
entitled: "When Pa Ilegins to Snore," by
James Harton Adams.
I'll give you the first verse now and pos
slbly more next week. Hero It is:
My pa's got somepln' in his nose tint's
fnsscned there to stay
Thnt nil tho neighbors wishes he would
lose or give nwny,
Some sort o' bellerlll' nffnlr, like bulls
has In their throats.
Or llko a big Imss horn, except It never
plays no notes.
Ma says It's slecpln' on his back, he says
it is katarr,
Hut you can bet yer bloomln" life what
ever It may are.
It's there fur doln' blzness, nn' It doe
n, too, inr sure
As nil the uelghhrirhood kin tell when
pa begins to snore!
