THE OMATTA DAILY BEE; SUNDAY, FEKTUTATIV 0, 1002. in Amusements The opening weak of the final month of th winter season furnished little of mo ment In the line of theatrical amusement. The vaudeville bill at the Orpheum was one of the best of the present season's offerings at this theater. Neither "The Olrl from Maxim's" nor "The James Boys In His ourl" was magnetic enough to much more (nan half flu the Boyd. This Is truly an Indication of a healthy taste on the part of local theatergoers. With "Arizona" and the Orpheum road show on the boards the present week promises to be the most at tract Ire of any of the month. The surpr'se that her friends felt when Clara Morris entered the literary Held with , such graceful abruptness and Immediate uccess Is perhaps rivaled oniy by the sur prise they feel at ber modest way of talking bout It. "Oh, I am Just knocking very gently at the door of this new profession, you know," he said to a friend in the course of the reception behind the scenes at Boyd's theater after her lecture Wednesday night. ' "One cannot abandon the truly strenuous life of the stage without providing a sub stitutea something that will assist In convincing one's Inner self that one to not becoming really old, but just a bit past the meridian. 80 I seized the pen seized It With both hands and a very vague Idea of what I was going to do with it. But quite of Its own volition It started to tracing trfoture I accumulated In my memory years go. Pictures of the people and the plays nd the scenes dearest to me. After that I always had subjects and a purpose, but not always the power of execution. A pen can fee an exceedingly obstinate thing if you try to drive It Into uncertainties, and I have written whole afternoons only to throw the manuscript Into the waste bas ket and wonder what had Induced me to undertake the thing that I had. Then It Is that Freddie" (Miss Morris, or more prop erly speaking, Mrs. F. C. Harriott, calls Iter gray-haired, but Jovial husband by the boyish name In public or In private), "has to employ tact and . Induce me to believe that It was really a very good composi tion, but that perhaps I did well to dis card It and wait for a beter mood. These moods of mine are all essential, I find, In Writing as well as, In acting." Those who remember the Clara Morris Of "Camllle" and other characters of this type will appreciate the latter statement of the wonderfully emotional little woman. Nor did they marvel that while lecturing he waa dramatio In her every emphasis. If she related a pathetlo incident tears welled to her eyes as naturally as to a ohool girl's If she told of some unre hearsed tragedy, her whole figure was wrecked with anguish, the muscles of ths faoe and neck grew tense and her breath cam In broken gasps, but if it was a bit of humor a pleasing laugh gurgled forth with It and the hands, still fair and shapely, flut tered In dainty ecstacy. In search of matter wherewith to attract publlo patronage, some unidentified author has adopted the names of two of ths most daring, cruel and bloodthirsty bandlta that ver created a reign of terror among civil ised people, and around these names has Woven a transparent fabrto of clumsily constructed fiction. It Is too short a time since the name of Jesse James waa as sociated with deeds of blood, rapine and Wanton deviltry for the success of an effort to now Idealise his-life, Much has been written before and after his summary taking off In futile efforts to justify his career of trime, but nothing- Can obliterate the terrible record he left. If It be ad mitted that the James family suffered all that Is credited to them as the result of the border warfare that raged In the region Indefinitely outlined in the minds of the old-timers as "Wabunsle," they are given no more cause for their thirst for ven geance than many others. No one family suffered alone In the dark days that pre ceded the civil war along the border. . It la true that both Frank and Jesse Jme rods with Quantrell and his terrible crew of outlaws on their raids. They were at Lawrence, when one Of the bloodiest chap ters of guerrilla warfare In all history was Written. No more awful massacre stains the record of civilized mankind than the Ruining and pillage of that Kansas town, (nd the James boys took part In It - Thess fnen tock their vengeance In ths most cow ardly manner. They did not meet the enemy In the open field, but made their War on the defenseless, who were left at home. Whatever their original provoca tion matters not. They took the law Into their own hands and adminlatered It solely fn the Interest of revenge and with a terocfty that outdid the savages of any time. When the war was over and ths Quantrell band was dissipated before ths majesty of the law, the James boys per illed In their career of crime. Safe In orifio. The MISS CKKSMORK. CHICAGO.

Very rarely did they levy tribute on the people of Mis souri. They were too cunning to put In Jeopardy their sole haven of refuge. Once, more from bravado than desire for the cash, they robbed the treasurer of the state fair at Kansas City and rode away in daylight with the cash. When a Ksnsss City editor wrote a fulsome apology for them these outlaws presented him with a handsome gold watch, which he proudly wore until the day of his death. Only a little mora thfn twenty years ago It wss deemed by railroad managers absolutely unsafe to run passenger trains out of Kansas City after nightfall, so thoroughly had the James boys established their reign of terror. Only when they got outside of their stste did they suffer. At Northfleld, Minn., the Tounger boys were removed from the gsng for good, snd as a sequel to the raid on Corydon, la., Folk Wells is spending bis life In the penitentiary at Fort Madison. Twenty years ago Charley Howard walked the streets of St. Joseph In freedom, snd nearly everybody knew he was Jesse James with the blood of the Rock Island conductor, wantonly murdered In the train robbery at Winston, not yet dry on his hands, but nons lifted a band to atsy his course or bring him to justice. It Is not necessary to defend or sven debate Bob Ford's action. What Is wrong now Is a per version of facts by a playwright for the sole purpose of securing a few dollars from the public. In the whole known career of the James brothers there Is not one noble deed recorded, not one act worthy of emulation, yet they are now being de picted on the stage as victims of the very gang of which they were members. Their lives are shown as idyllic and their aspira tions Ideal. It is against this that protest Is now made. In the realms of fiction there Is still plenty of material for blood and thunder romance, while the cold world of fact contains enough names of real heroes to supply honest stage writers with attrac tions for ages to come. Let us hope that this first will bs the last attempt to Im mortalize two of the most cruel criminals who ever escaped hanging. Coming; Events. Bartley Campbell's "White Slave" will be seen at the Boyd for two performances, be ginning this afternoon. The play was re cently revived and Is ssld to be given In a most elaborate manner by a competent company, headed by Kate Campbell, who enacts the historio role of Letty Lee. Miss Campbell is a sister ot William Collier. A reallatlo effect has been added to the piece In a real rain storm, which occurs during the wreck and sinking ot the river eteamer Creole Belle.

Petit Pattl Rosa is valso a prominent member of the caat. This season the fare ha had much added to It, almost a whole act having been written In, so' that It would $ot be neces sary to put on a curtain raiser to fill out an evening time. Last season "Madam Butterfly" was used as a curtain raiser. Hi Henry and his minstrel will be the Wednesday matins and night attraction at the Boyd, The company Is composed ot fifty artists.

Mclntyr and Heath will present their latest success, entitled "The Man from Montana." during the first half ot ths week, and "The Georgia Minstrels" ths latter half. Tbeae two players have been together for twenty-eight consecutive years and ar originators of much In black face entertainment. Jo Welch has never ap peared in Omaha.

The engsgement closes next Saturday, with dally matinees. Russell Conwell, who will lecture In the Toung Men's Christian association course on Tuesdsy night. Is a magnificent speci men of the self-msde man. In the role of an author he has achieved considerable repu tation. As a preacher and a pastor he Is well kaown, but It la probably as a lecturer that ha Is most widely known. In this field he Is at his best with a message to men that Is Interspersed with humor and Illus tration that one never forgets. His sub ject for Tuesdsy night, "Acres of Dia monds," has probably been given more times than any lecture by any other apeaker, and yet those who have heard It a number of times say that It is always new and sparkling. The association, under whose auspices the lecture will be given, hss ar ranged to seat Boyd's to the utmost. Plays asd Players. Mrs. Annie Teamans will go Into vaude ville in a few weeks.

London, January 26. Olga Nethersole, It Is said, has recovered her health and may make a professional visit to this country next autumn. Thirty thousand dollars a year in royal ties Is what the dramatic version of "Ben Hur" brings General Lew Wallace. Musical Soma weeks ago It was my privilege to deliver an address to the membership of the Toung Women's Christian association on a subject which was chosen by Its committee and which was on of a series of horn culture talks. The subject al lotted to me was "Music in the Home." Owing to the fact that there were other people on the program, I was obliged to give to certain phases of muslo In the home a very cursory treatment. Since the occasion referred to tho mat ter of home muslo has been to me a very constant thought, because, after all, the home 1 the citadel ot the true American citizenship and ths -on sacred shrine which attracts worshipers of every creed, condition and cult. It 1 an excellent Idea on the part of the Toung Women' Christian association manager to bring before their young peo ple the possible power Inherent In them selves to make the' home beautiful by mean of art, music, etc This is not a case of lecturing young women on their duties to the home, nor Is It a transcen dental picturing forth of Ideal conditions existing somewhere in Mar or Jupiter, but the course Is designed to Interest sen sible, educated, Industrious and earnest young women in looking with a seriousness of purpose and a sincerity of will on the things which they, individually, could do by their influence and example toward the accumulation and preservation of the very beet results of mental development in each particular home. . Thos who gave the addresses were stirred by a spirit of ministry rather than missionarylsm. In the talk on muslo It was suggested that there was much good music between the street ballad and the classical symphony. In other words, there was to each home It special music with out having to descend to trash or become Involved In the mystic studies of counter point and fugue. The first question touched upon was ths relation of the home to the church and ths consequent reflex Influence of church music upon home music. This la a subject I wish to enlarge upon now and to which I was unable to give much attention, when one had to discus Instrument and Instrumental music, voice . and vocal music, con certed muslo and musical literature that Is, the musical books and magazine best ufted to horn reading. The influence of. the church muslo upon the home is on of tremendous Importance, notwithstanding the. fact that some home people tell us with an air ot mora or less startling self-sufficiency that they never darken the church door, but I take It there ar very few persons whose birth 1 sig nalized merely by a legal entry at a reg istry office, whose marriage Is performed by a justlcs of ths peace and whose funeral Obsequies are conducted exclusively by an efflcer of a secret society, an undertaker or a grave digger. I am inclined to believe that the church I usually Invoked on the occasion of a baptism, marriage or a death, and these ar the three great chapters in a life' story. In the days of old It was a customary practlc for the family to assemble fre quently and sing together the beautiful old songs of ths heart and hymns of ths soul. Many a young man and young woman whose ambition to adopt the strenuous lifs hss brought them Into our cities, can look back with fond recollections to certain quiet hours when the members of ths family ssng together to the accompaniment of the humble and much-abused Instrument of missionary value, the reed organ. Per haps ths home wss rich enough to boast the presence of a piano, and perchance some stringed Instrument wss also to be found. Many a business man, weighted down with the cares of competition and the struggls for supremacy, can bow his hesd In his hands for a moment and let bis thought wsnder back to a certain cheer ful room, and can hear again the strains of lovs's old sweet songs, the "Ninety and Nine." Nowadays ws find on the "essy payment piano" not the songs of ZIon or the "Old Oaken Bucket," but the unworthy offerings of the muslo hall and vaudeville. It Is a hard ssylng, but none the less a true one, that when we look tor the origin of this desecration of home "music we must admit with tears of remorse that having studied the question through and through, a good shar of ths blsm must rost on ths church. And whyT Ths answer Is simple, slas, too simple and too patent. Ths church haa in many tnatances forgot tsa ths dignity, the everlasting truth and trsmendous potency of its great foundation "fact," and has sought to sttrsct attentloa by clothing that fact in a tawdry and tin seled costume so that It might resemble "fiction." to attract the vulgar attention. I firmly believe that when the church returns to the consummation of Its vow smbodled In ths words: Faith of our fathers, holy faith, Ws will be true to tbee till death. thea the horn will throw aside the music at tk xaea-making msaufaaturorg aad w m m w- u .hfcSw -r- mm m a u I If .1 M a .v i The only soap in the world that supplies every need about the home -for Toilet, Bath, Laundry and removing spots and stains from garments.

A very Interesting and well arranged program ha been received from tho good brethren. Parks and Bond of York, Neb. They have just closed a most succesful musical festival there, and there was abundant enthusiasm, a financial plethora and musical honor for all concerned. It will be a good thing to keep an eye upon that beautiful town of York. This Is not the first time it has called to the other towns In Nebraska, "Sleepers, wake: A voice is calling." Congratulations to the musicians, the chorus, the artists and the busy gentlemen, Mr. J. A. Perks and Mr. Rollln Bond. . The word "professor" did not appear oh the program. So I know it was a good, concert. York can give Omaha pointers on what to do with the word "professor." Cut It out 1 Tho Bee has received a very handsome poster from Checkering t Sons announc ing a historio musical display. The poster is by the - famous Will Bradley, and he has done a good thing. He usually does. - There is a young man In Grand Island and his name is Fred Harrison. He has written a march. He ha talent and he Is not likely to be spoiled, because he has a father who writes in a sensible strain, so different from the usual gush of parents ot budding musicians. He says: "I today mall you two copies ot my 16-year-old boy Fred's 'Jolly Elks" march for piano. It I oniy a sample of a lot of stuff he bas worked out. ' I have permitted htm to pub lish this as an experiment. It has met with a splendid reception here, but this may be due to local Interest in the boy," etc. Young Mr. Harrison's march is tuneful, unassuming and effective. It shows a dis position to musical work which should be encouraged and to which he should devote careful and constant study. I hops to hear of him as something other than a music publisher. There are so many of those and so few real "musicians." The committee of women In charge of the Lenten muslcales for the benefit of the Creche have completed arrangement for the series, which will be given In five morning concerts, as follows: 1. February 16 Lewis Shaw of St. PauL baritone, at Linlnger's Art gallery. 2. February 22 Genevieve Clark Wilson of Chicago, soprano, at residence of Mrs. George Barker. S. March 1 In charge of Miss Free, as sisted by a violinist, at residence of Mrs. 8. A. McWhorter. 4. March 8 B. B. Young of Chicago, in ballad recital, at residence ot Mrs. J. E. Baum. s. March 15 Haven Cowper of Chlcae-o. tenor, at residence of Mrs. Merman Kountse. At each of the mustcsles minor, numbers will be rendered by other musicians, local and from abroad. It Is hoped that a sub stantial sum may be realized above the expenses, to be turned over to the charity in whosa behalf the concerts have been organized. A musical and literary entertainment will be given under the auspices of Union Paclflo and Omaha councils'. Royal Ar canum, at ths First ConsTecatlonal rhurrti Thursday evening. An excellent program nas been arranged. I had the cleasure of hesrtnr the Cm. clllan quartet on Friday at a private re- nearsai. ine quartet is composed of Miss Helen Burnham, Mrs. Ren Hamilton Coo, Mrs. Cora Chaffee Babcock and Mrs. Psrn thenla Bowman Ne?iy. The voices blend beautifully and tht phrasing and shading sre very rood. Thev will certainly nrova a valuable adjunct to any flrst-clas mu sical program. At ths musicals In Unity church on Wednesday evening Mr. Qabm will play the Braasln "Nocturne," Pegsnlnl-Scnu- mann "Caprlcs" and a brsce of Paderewskt numbets.
