THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SO'DAT, SEPTEMBER 13. 1001.
Amusements
The last week furnished two sights of
dramatic tntertainmeat In the Emp.re
Btock eompaay'e presentation of ' Mrs.
iHne'a Defence" that will be extremely dif
ficult to excel. It it doubtful if another
company so uniformly excellent la every
particular, a play of such Dae literary qual
ity, so admirably constructed, given
tuch intelligent treatment la the develop
ment of It story and a production so de
t erring of praise will be t-eea here agala
during the forty weeks of the season. Thin
may appear an extravagant statement,
specially in view of the fact that almost
all of last season's successes la the dra
matic line are booked for prcsent&ttoa htre
tt one time or another during the winter.
No better company exists la the country
today than the Empire Stock. Henry. Arthur
Jones has certainly eltmbod in this, his
most recent work, several rungs nearer the
top of the ladder of fame as a playwright.
He ttu Imbued the story with lntcare hu
maa laterest, remarkable dramatic power
tad expressed it with that felicitous dla-
ogue, forceful la epigram and aphorism
Md keen wit, that characterise hit writ
ing of the last few years.
Something of the quality aad charm of
Mr. Jones' work la "Mrs. Dane's Defence"
may be gleaaed from the appended dialogue
taken from here and there throughout the
play. The character of Sir Daniel Cartert
Is happily described In the ttrst act. It bat
&a Important bearing on the subsequent ae-
tlun of the play:
Lai-They Niy he's the pleasantest Judge
tliii ever hanged a man.
Mr? DuiivMr. Rlstiy was telling us
b" t some famous crusts-examination
n rn thing about a forger.
Lai Oh. Kettlefey, the forger-murderer
O; the rooming of Ms execution Kettleby
aid that to have heard my lather's croa
examination of hi witnesses was very well
V'-.rtn being hanged for.
Here's another bit of his grim humor
about women:
Lai A woman doesn't tell a lie to the
man she love. Why do you smile?
Sir Daniel My dear Lai. aity women out
of a hundred have no notion of what the
truth means, and don't bother about it.
The other tifty have the rudiments of a
truth-sense In various stages of develop
ment and will generally tell the truth where
their own Interests don't clash Hut in
matters of love there isn't one woman in a
hundred there Isn't one in a thousand that,
when, she's put to it, won't lie right and
left, up and down, backwards and forwards,
to the man she loveswlth the man she
loves, about the man she loves, to gain her
Tds and ke-ep the man she loves
Lai You have a very low opinion of
Tvt men. sir.
Sir Daniel 1 have a very hich opinion
of them in matters of strategy.
The felicity of his dialogue will be readily
seen in the following bits of dialogue:
Sir Daniel Is there any knowing where
married happiness lies for other people, or
even for themselves T
Lady llaetney Apparently not. The hap
piest marriage I've ever known was be
tween my old governess of 45 and a young
yilano tuner of 22. We all went down em
our knees and begged her to see the mon
strous unsultablllty nf n, but she wouldn l!
Fine would marry the man. and the result
Is she has has lived happily ever after
wards! Canon Doasoy, a dear old soul In charge
of the religious affairs of the village, is a
tcry humane man and not without humor.
Sir Daniel (to the Canon) You Intro
fiaced Mrs. Dane to us all.
Canon Bonsey When n delightful lady
comes to church and subscribes regularly
to all the parish charities and has n per
fect mastery of the piano, and is evidently
very dear, sweet creature in every' w-ay,
end a gentlewoman, 1 don't think it's the
duty of a clergyman to ask her for refer
ences as If she were a housemaid, eh?
Kir Daniel Then you have no knowledge
of Mrs. Dane, whether sho is a desirable
acquaintance?
CHnon Bonsey A woman with Euch a face
find such a llgure and such a divine musi
cian cannot be an undesirable acquaint
ance. Later Sir Daniel delivers himself of these:
Sir Daniel Guilt Is often the natural and
necessary mimic of Innocence, as hypoc
risy Is the naturnl and necessary mimic of
virtue, and Just as nature Is always ready
to lend a mimic skin of protection to any
beast or bird or Insect that needs its shel
ter, fo she is always ready to lend the
sheepskin of Innocence to any criminal
that s clever enough to draw it over him.
Sir Daniel 1 never judge from manner
alone. There is the confusion of guilt and
the confusion of innocence; the brazen self
cnntlilonce of guilt and the serene self-con-lidence
of Innocence I won't pretend 1
know which is which except that some
times a look, a gesture, a word, will give
you a peep into the very soul of a man or
woman, and you cry Ht once, "This Is cer
tain guilt," or "This is certain innocence."
Rulsom Porter The last time you took an
affair into your own hands you Involved
me in a luwt-ult which cost mo a thousand
pounds.
Mrs. B. IV The hussy was guilty, but
she made eyes at the Jury. Of course they
were men. What could you expect? Th"J"
cuvc her damages.
Lady Kastney There is a point at which
it Is prudent to neglect slander if it's fnlse.
There I a point at which it 1 imprudent.
Impossible, to neglect slander unless it Is
true.
Lady EaUney My dear Sir Daniel, we
live In a residential neighborhood in a
wicked world and what possible occupation
if there for us poor women except to dlt
cuts scandal, or to create It?
Lady Kastney If I nay "Yes" how can

If clever artists, beautiful stage settings,
pretty girls, dainty costumes and a bright,
witty play count for anythlag it Is now
surprising that Mathews U Bulger's new
musical comedy has made such a success.
At Bo5"d's theater Sunday matinee and
night and Monday night these favorites
and their supporting company will
appear. With- two such favorites as
J. Sherrle Mathews and Harry Bulger
it ls no wonder that "The Night of
the rourth" has been one of the merriest
plays produced this season. The piece is
said to be chock full of fetching musical
numbers that are encored over and over
again nightly and that are destined to be
come popular. The production is announced
as being complete in detail; the ensemble is
large and the girls very pretty and shapely,
the chorus efficient and well trained and the
dancinc clever.
Chauncey Olcott will be at the Bovd
theater Wednesday, September IS. matinee
and night. He will present his new play,
"Qarrett O'Magh." The comedy is la four
acts, with the sceaes laid ia and around
Dublin in U12. When the story opens Gar
rett O'SIagh, the hero (Mr. Olcottl. has re
turned from America, where he has made
a fortune, to visit his aunt, Mrs. Devlin, and
incidentally to find a wife. He meets Eileen
Nagle, a romantic young Irish girl, who
will not marry unless she can elope. Her
father and Garrett's aunt want to get mar
ried, but consider it their first duty to get
Garrett and Eileen off their hands. Thev
arrange with Garrett that he carry her off
and that Mr. Nagle will follow them to
Darby Lyach'B Inn and demand his dauch
ler, believing it will cure Eileen of her
romance and that she will consent to be
married publicly. A rival tells Eileen of
the deception and she spurns her lover.
The remainder of the play Is the endeavor
to reconcile Eileen and Garrett, an end
happily reached. In "Garrett O'Magh" Mr.
Olcott will sing several songs which he
has written and composed expressly for
this play.
The second season at Miaeo's Trocadero
opens this afternoon with the Baby Lund
Come-dy company In "The Gypsy Prin

Columbia weeps! All music ls in the
minor key and hymns of thanksgiving will
give place to psalms of sorrow. The ma
jestic eagle bows his bead with the meek
ness of a mourning dove and the cypress
wreath alone crowns the hopes which pre

of the United States has said "Goodby. all;
goodby.. It is God's way. His will be
done." But, we sorrow not as those with

The thought, whose musical embodiment
we express at Eastertide, cheers us also

Hallelujah!
It might not be amiss to advise students
of music and art who are coming to Omaha
this seasoa that the place to Inquire for
teachers ls not at a music or art store.
Numerous Instances of rank prejudice have
come to tny notice in past years In both
branches referred -to. I have known proral
aeat teachers of art and music, instrumen
tal and vocal, being deprived of business
by the misrepresentations on the part of
dealers, who, for business reasons, wished
other teachers patronized. Students have
been told that such and such a person was
not known here, when they have been at
the top of the profession. There are two
lessons In this The student might write a
line to the musical critic of any of the
papers as to the address of certain teach
ers or .find out from the same source the
names of those who are prominent in musi
cal circles.
The other lesson is for the musicians, and
it Is an Important ooe; they should spend
some money in advertising, so that people
would know where to find them. Advertis
lag la the newspapers pays far better for
studio work than playing or singing every
where free of charge.

departure of J. E. Butler of Trinity. Bott
of these gentlemen were thoroughly capable
organlsip. each of them did splendid work
for the cause of music and one goes as far
east as the other goes west.
Of Mr. Young It can be truly said that
while his stay here was a short one. com
paratively speaking, he nevertheless se
cured hosts of friends by his uniform
courtesy, his unfailing good nature and
his excellent ability.
Of Mr. Butler, a long friendship and ac
quaintance only served to intensify one's
admiration for him as a man. a musician
end a teacher. 1 had a particularly close
friendship with him for the reason that he
was the first musician in Omaha to do mc
a kindness when 1 came here years ago, and
later we occupied adjoining studios for
several years. My first appearance, mu
sically In Omaha was as a supply for him
in 1SS9, when 'Trinity had Its old organ
and He beautiful proccssioa from the side
of the chancel instead of the aisle pro
cessional now In vogue. Mr. Butler has made
a success of bis business, He Is an In
defatigable worker and an earnest stu
dent. He is an enthusiast, although many
people do not give him credit therefor. He
is a generous friend, a placable foe. tender
hearted, though not impulsive, a thorough
musician and a gentleman. We will feel
his less keenly aad cone will feel his loss
more than the church which be has so
faithfully served. Regretfully we wish him
goodby, but sincerely we wish him god
speed. Mr. Joseph Gahm has been engaged as
special teacher of the piano at the Sacred
Heart convent.
Miss Louise Kellogg has returned from
Chicago, where she has spent the summer
"brushing up"wjth her former teacher.
Mrs. G. W. Johnston sang at All Saints'
church last Sunday. She still persists ia
pushing ber beautiful low voice up into
realms to which it is not native. Mrs.
Johnston ls receiving the' benefit of New
York study.
A new- teacher of the piano has arrived.
She will teach this season the art of piano
playing and she ls a disciple of Calrlu U.
Cody, formerly of Chicago, now of Boston.
Mr. Ctdy is credited with having mo6t ex
callent ideas aad his pupil, who has taught
for three years at Grlnnell, will doubtless
achieve success hereabouts. Her name ls
Bertha Dickinson Hill.
Mrs. Kelly has returned from Chicago,
where she has been "coaching" with the
celebrated artiste, Genevieve Clark Wil
son, all summer. She has been re-ecgaged
as solo soprano at All Saints' and she will
alio teach at Bellevue college.
I hear from across the water that Mrs.
Wagner-Thomas of Omaha has been ac
corded an enthusiastic reception at a con
cert held receatly at a place la Germany
called Bad Sulta.
Miss Helea Hoagland will sing at All
Saints' church this morning
