THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1901. 15 Amusements With the opening of tho Orphcitm vaude ville theater this afternoon tho dramatic reason In Omaha will ho on In earnest, and herenftor tho threo local theaters promlso between them to furnish enough good enter tainment to keep local' playgoers busy. Cer tainly thero will bo a variety of amuse ment from which they may choose, nnd tho most fastidious Hhould havo little trouble In finding something to his or her liking. So far the Uoyd theater has furnished Ices than n half dozen attractions In tho two weeks that It has been opened, but tLero Is consolation In tho fact that tho few that havo been seen there havo teen worth tho tlmo spent. Thero Is little open tlmo on tho booking sheet of this house after tho llrst of October, and some excellent at tractions and plenty of them may be looked for. Carl Heltcr, tho now manager of tho Or phcum, arrived In tho city last week and commenced Immediately to make prepara tions for tho opening. Mr. Heltcr Is by no means a stranger In Omaha, having been located hero part of last season, during which tlmo,he acted as stage manager of tho Orphcum. During his short stay hero ho mado many friends and his elevation to tho responsible, position as manager of tho house will be, no doubt, gratifying to them all, A. I. (ioldberg, who Is to ho the assistant manager and treasurer, comes from Now York City, 'where ho has been acting as special agent for the Orphcum company for Homo time. William Landon, who has been connected with tho theater slnco Its opening, wilt bo tho stngo manager. , In speaking of tho policy of lho Orphcum for tho coming season, Mr. Hclter said: "Of course, our first and principal aim will bn to cater to tho bettor class of theater goers at nil times. With a clientele of this kind nn orderly bonne Is assured at all times. Ono thing that I do not proposo to tolerate Is hissing. If the people who -onio to our theater cannot find somo other nnd morn pollto way of showing their dis approval of what they seo wo are not par ticular about their patronage. Tho large majority of theatergoers do not hiss, and no they como to be entertained It Is dis tasteful to them to hear It. "The Orphotim circuit has been more than doubled in size slnco last year und now In cludes cloven theaters In different parts of tho country. This enables It to glvo from sixteen to twenty weeks' employment to tho nctor or nctress who plays It. Dcsldos this tho company ii alllllated with the eastern association of vatidovlllo managers. This makes It possible to secure attractions that would otherwlso bo beyond our reach. You ran readily understand that it would bo Impossible to bring an net llkn that of Jcsslo liartlett Da,vls, Paulino Hall or the "SvrngiilllcH" from Now York to Omaha If wn were not nblo to glvo them moro than one week's work In tho west. As It Is wo will get them alt hero during tho season. As n matter of fact, Omaha gets vaudeville bills that avcrngo throughout better th.tn those given In tho New York houses charg ing tho samo prices as wo do. Tho New York theater going public Is what we call n lloatlng one, that Is they go Into ono vaudeville theater nnd stay long enough to seo possibly ono or two special acts, then they go to another nnd so on until thn evening haB passed. For this reason a hill thero may be mado up of two or pos sibly three acts nnd tho balance may bo almost Intolerable. Hero your peoplo come to spend tho entlro evening nnd tho per formance must ho entertaining, else they will rofuso to patronizo you In tho future. Again, Omaha theatergoers havo tho name among vnudevlllo performers of being hard to pleaso. In fact very fastidious and thus It Is absolutely necessary that wo glvo them nothing but tho best for that Is all thev will accept. It wilt bo our aim to do this to tho best of our ablll'y. Thero aro times when It Is Impossible to get a hill mado tip of acts with which no fnult can bo found. When thoro nro no Florida oranges In market, your grocer cannot furnish them to you can he? Well, at times there Is a scarcity of vnudevlllo acts. Thoy may not ho In tho market, Hint is tho choice ones, so wo havo to tako what wo can get for tho tlmo being." Vloln Allen was lately requested by tho editor of nn eastern magazine to glvo hor opinion on tho making of nn nctrees. She gives her advlco to tho beginner, saying among other things that she should, be fore starting tho struggle nsk herself n few earnest questions: "Not always, how ran I get to tho stage, but what can bring to It? "No ono could seriously hopo to achieve anything In so Important and dellcato an nrt with so slender n foundation ns many seem disposed to build, from whence to Rprlng for tho drnmntlo diadem, which they seemingly expect they can cultch at a single bound, "Ho certain that the dcslro to act is not mistaken for tho ability to do so. Tho consciousness that sho has It within hor to do better than thoso who do well would bo no more than sutllclont wnrrnnt for en tering the ranks. Thoro Is already a largo corps of thoso who do fairly well In tho field and who would 'osplro to mediocrity or ho content with failure.' "After an aspirant for histrionic honors has worked earnestly for somo years with out recognition of nny kind from her man ager she often becomes disheartened and longs to abandon a career which seems so hopeless for anything elso which may offer ltsolf. Yet fallurn to win Instant recogni tion la tho rule and not the exception In nlmost every private history. Meteoric ca reers aro given such publicity In tho press that wo often loso sight of tho fact that hundreds of oven, uneventful careers ex ist unknown to tho public for every ono of sudden brilliancy. Tho profebslon of acting is not ono for which many aro fitted, but onco such a career Is determined upon, tho possession of staying power is a condition precedent to success. Self-con-fldenco nnd n tendency not to bo easily dis mayed nro really necessary. "It Is a general rule that tho aspirant who has true tntrlnsln merit, coupled with persevcrnnre, will ultimately And hor op portunity to gain tho success alio craves. Tho world permltH very few people to hldo their light. Ocnlus Is too raro to go long unrewarded, ami a searching analysis of tho so-called 'unrewarded genius' will usu ally reveal some fatal defect In her claims to tho tltlo. "Truly, I think the great ones of all mankind aro born, not mado by subsequent t roconroi disappoint you. Trylt uerv training The sculptor, the painter, the scientist, the Inventor, and so on, each Is born with his peculiar faculty, which Is enlarged by hard work, developing the natural bent, so making each supreme In his sphere." Co in I n k Ktcnti, "Whose Uaby Are You?" is based upon a series of mistakes that grow out of tho consignment of an 18-year-old girl to the caro of her father's old friend, who has a bachelor nephow, an artist. Through an error tho explanatory letter preceding the maiden Is sent to this young man and Its phrasing leads aim to believe that its sub ject Is an Infant. From this blunder all the fun Is evolved. A German baron and his wife take their first born, a babe named .Madge, to havo Its portrait painted by the artist, and he presumed that it Is the baby mentioned In the letter owing to the similarity of names. Then there is an ac cumulation of bibles and blunders until thtf stage nnd audlcnco nro In it uproar, Mr. Charles W. Ilowser has been engaged to play the leading part nnd will bo supported by a competent company of well known comedians. "Whoso Uaby Aro You?" will bo tho attraction at Uoyd's theater this afternoon and tonight. This Is the story of "Lady Huntworth's Kxpcrlmcnt," tho three-act comedy by H. C. Carton, which Daniel FrohmHn's Stock company from Daly's theater, Now York, will present at the Doyd theater Friday evening, September 27. Caroline Ilayward Is tho cook at Stlllford vicarage. Her past Is u mystery, hut sho hears tho stamp of gentle birth nnd Hev. And ley l'lllcngcr, tho susceptible vicar, Is so solicitous of her comfort that sho is virtually thn mis tress of tho household. Capbaln Dervaston, betrothed to tho vicar's niece, Lucy, Is similarly subjugated, and they champion tho cook to such good effect that the pro tests of Miss Hannah lillenger, tho vicar's spinster sister, are of no avail. I.ucy, although engaged to tho captain, loves tho vicar's curate, young Thoresby, nnd plans to elopo with him. Such Is the con dition of affairs when a Mr. Crayall lima up, suffering from the after-effects of an attack of delirium tremens ami with a thirst for whisky and soda. He Is In fact Lord Huntworth and discovers In the vicar's cook Lady Huntworth, his divorced wife. Ho arranges nn Interview with her, In which ho seeks to persuade her to come back to him, Information having renched him that sho has Inherited a fortune. They meet In tho kitchen, where sho has agreed also, upon his earnest solicitation, to seo tho vicar. Captain Dervaston also has been granted a Inter Interview In tho bunic place. Lady Huntworth spurns tho offer of her drunken lord nnd conceals htm In tho scul lery not beforn discovering from a letter which he drops that she has fallen heiress to a fortune. The vicar's proposal of mar rlago Is interrupted by tho coming of Cap taln Dotvaston and tho amorous ecclesiastic seeks rcfugo In tho pantry. Dervaston In his turn offers friendship nnd financial aid and Is only kept from proposing by his engagement to Lucy. Tho sudden arrival of the vicar's sister compels him to bide In tho cupboard, whero sho discovers him and tho situation becomes embarrassing, to say tho least. Tho early morning elopo- ment of Lucy and the curate Is contrived with tho assistance of tho "cook," whom I.ucy has taken Into her confidence. Cap tain Dervaston and the cook, tho culprits of tho kitchen episode, are about to bo dealt with by tho vicar and his sister, when Lord Huntworth again appears and en deavors to havo his wifo discharged. Ho li discomfited, however, by her straight forward explanations and as sho has be como rich sho resigns and takes her de parture. Lucy returns with her husband to ask forgiveness and Dervaston takes ad- vantago of his freedom to pursue Lady Huntworth with patently matrimonial at tentions. MIbs Hilda Spong, the star of tho company, will portray her original character. Lady Huntworth. This actress has refinement, a gontlo voice, composure good looks nnd a fnaclnatlng dimpled smllo. Thcso would bo enough to carry her through tho play, but she hns decided tal ents as n comedienne as well, and Is finished actress. Tho Orpheum theater will begin the new season with a matinee today and offers bill of novelties that should prove attrac tive to the patrons of tho house. Tho nn nouncement of tho bill has proved sufficient to bring about a largo advanco sale of seats end thero Is every indication that the season will open successfully. Tho open lng list of attractions is certainly a strong ono and It Is tho Intention of tho manage ment to mantaln a high standard and to Improvo steadily throughout the season Louise Thorndyko Bouclcault Is the head liner. With a competent support she will present "A Proper Impropriety." Tho sketch Is the work of Augustus Thomas one of the host known playwrights In Araer lea, and Is a half-satirical comedietta that shows off tho actress's ability to advan tage and will, It Is expected, establish her firmly as a local favorite. Tho great Mon troll, the Juggler, and the O'Meers sisters who wero the star act at tho Hippodrome London, for eight months, will bo the other Important features, whllo the bill will fur ther Include O'Brien and Duckley In a. laugh able musical act; Tommy Daker, monologuo comedian; Flatt and Sutherland, comedy sketch artlstt; Joe, Myra and Duster Keaton, tho last a diminutive comedian who will mako his first appearance here, and tho klnedramc, with a scries of new and real lstlc views. These artists are all new to Omaha and Indicate the Intention of the management to Introduce constantly novel ties in Omaha and offer tho patrons of tho house tho best that the vaudeville field affords. The regular opening of the burlesque season commences this afternoon with Fred Irwin's big show, which mado such a hit last season. Slnco hero last, tho manage ment has discarded the old burlesques, giv ing the public two new and original con ceptlons, entitled, "A Live Wire" and "Aro You an Eagle," whrch nro put on In sumptuous stylo in regard to costuming, Bcenery and electrical effects, .especially the former one, which Is resplendent with THE BEST MEDICINE When in doubt as to the best medlolne to itrenthen your weak stomach or vo restore your appstite, you will muko no mistake In Meeting.

William Jefferson Winter, the actor, son of William Winter, tho dramatic erltle, was married on August 27 to Elslo Leslie (Lvde), who Is this season starring In "The Chris tian," The marriage, which tooK place at tho residence of the otllclating clergyman, Hev, Dr. Herrmann Gomez of Now York City, was kept secret until last week, when it was punuciy announced oy me rnmiucs I the brido and groom. Musical I havo been called to account by Itev. Dr. Kerr of Ucllovuo college for that I did, In a recent edition, atato that "Omaha should have tho musical students who are now going to Tabor, Lincoln and Bellevuc." cheerfully admit tho soft Impeachment of the reverend doctor, who gently but firmly reminds me thnt Omaha "has" the tudents who aro at Bellevuc. Ho says and he Is undoubtedly right, that money coming to Bellovue merely stops thero a few minutes on Its way to Omaha. Ho engages Omaha teachers for various departments and It Is essentially an Omaha school of music and tho only Omaha school of music, for students can enter and tnke music and languages and anything else they desire and they are well taken care of as to board ing and lodging, In the various dormitory buildings of the college, whllo their faclll tics for study are greatly enhanced by the peaceful quiet of tho college town nnd by the well-stocked library and practice rooms. Tho enthusiastic audlenco of about 130 students which appeared in the chapel last Wednesday and which I had tho honor of addressing, was a glorious testimony to tbo hard, unselfish, unending work of both Dr. and Mrs. Kerr in building up the destinies of Bollevue college. May it live long and prosper. Just what the purpose of the Sorrentlno concorts was, Is as yet unexplained. Why Dana like the Banda Rossa should bo brought hero and surrounded on tho north, south, east nnd west by pandemonium is a mystery. I saw tho band, but being unable to hear it, was obliged to withhold an opinion in this column. This was a disap pointment, because I was anxious to say something good about the magnetic Sorren tlno and was prepared to hear somo ex cellent music, Judging from what musical friends In other places had told me.

If the Journal had thought it worth while to pursue its study a little further than the hymnal of the American pub llshtng houso, It would have discovered some proofs which I think warrant us In clinging to tho old words, "Lead, kindly L,ignt." As to the opening line, It Is unneces nary to do more than quote the, follow lng excerpts from Cardinal Newman's own book, "Apologia pro Vita Sua," which one can nnd on pages 35 and 119, Longmans Green & Co.'s edition: "I was aching to get home. began to visit the churches and they calmed my Impatience, though I did not attend any services.

I also wrote," etc., etc., i This certainly docs not look ns though Ijord, kindly Light." wns presumably tho form In which the lino came, from Newman's pen " As to tho tltlo, thero Is no authority for calling tho hymn "The True Light," as far as I can ilnd, for tho hymn wns first published In tho British Mngazlnc, March, 1S31, under lho title, "Faith-Heavenly Leadings," and In "Lyra Apostollca" In 1S3G under tho caption, "Unto tho Godly There Arlscth Up Light In the Darkness," whllo in mo auruors own dook, "Occasional Verses," tho- tltlo Is "Tho Pillar of the Cloud." Tho Journal makes other mistakes In the wording: In tho first verso "way" should read "scene." "Ono step's enough" should bo "One step enough." In tho second verso tho word "wouidst" Is In tho orlglnnl , 'shouldst." In tho last verso tho words 'So long Thy power hath kept me" Is In all authentic editions "So long Thy power hath blest me." Thero has been much useless and un profitable controversy ns to tho significance of the hymn In regard to Newman's spiritual feelings nnd his change of church. Mr. Stead in his "Hymns that Havo Helped" has this to say: "No doubt it Is somewhat hard for tho staunch I'rotestant to wax enthusiastic over tbo Invocation of 'kindly light' which led Its author straight Into tho arms' of the 'Scarlet Woman of tho Seven Hills.' Against this may bo put tho fact that when tho Parlia ment of Religions met at Chicago, tho rep rcsentatlves of every creed known to man found two things on which they were agreed. They could all Join in tho Lord's prayer and they could nil sing "Lead, Kindly Light." Tho intemperate languago of Mr. Stead ns well as the interpretation placed upon tho words by bigoted clergymen of whatso ever denomination receives sufficient re buke from tho author himself, who writes a leter to Dr. Grccnhill, which is pub lished In Julian's Dictionary of Hymnology and runs as follows: the ORATORY.
