Midsummer's dullness has earns over
the world of the player. All the Joyous
chatter that rang during the days of re
lease at the close of the season has died
out and tha chatterers have bled them
selves away to Europe, to the seashore,
to the mountains or to the summer stocks.
Here's the rub for the actor person who
doesn't save enough from his winter sal
ary to live through the summer. While
his more provident or fortunate colaborers
in the field of Art are disporting them
selves In tha varioua ways known to sum
mer Idlers, he Is learning two parts a
week, attending dally rehearsals and
nightly performances with two matinees
per thrown In, and wondering If he will
land a place with a "star" company next
winter, or If he will have to put In an
other season with a "rip" show. He
doesn't have time to think of the actor
who la evea lees fortunate than he, and
who la doing all sorts of stunts, such as
beating carpets, mowing lawns, and the
like for his dally rations. With the prom-.
lee of hotter weather, the work of the
summer stock actor will become harder.
while his audience will grow smaller aa
the attendance at the outdoor party In
creases. Summer vaudeville, which can l-e
done in open air, while beer and music
and starlight fill In between turns, will
soon hold sway undisputed, while the rest

than that Mrs. I 'iforn s "Marte'eln ' and
Charles Reade's "Nance Oldfleld" will be
given as a double bill "on special occa
sions." The English censor of plays has exer
cised his power of prohibition la two re
cent cases, but only as to the title in ono
of them. He compelled Jane Hading to
rerhrlstea "The Half Virgins" for a Lon
don production in French, and she, with
perhaps a spirit of satire, called It "Maud,"
a name somehow suggestive of pure Inno
cence. His absoluts refusal to license
Maurice Maeterlinck's "Monna Vanna" has
provoked a discussion that Is bound ts
sdvertise the piece for Mrs. Pat Campbell's
use next season In this country. Actors
and authors wrote to the newspapers la
opposition to the censor and organised
a makeshift society, before whom the
forbidden work waa "privately" performed.
The published reviews generally approvs
ths official action. "What makes the gorge
rise at. 'Monna Vanna " says ons critic,
"Is not merely ths crude Indecency of tbs
scene In which a married woman pre
pares to offer herself naked to a bestial
soldier, but as well ths foul atmosphere
of the whole play." The London Era, a
very conservative Journal, thus speaks of
the play:
Perhaps this attempted degradation ef
the drama, which has been prohibited in
England, was the -one thing necessary to
Illustrate so forcibly the moral irrespon
sibility and mental decrepitude of the "ad
vanced" dramatic cult, that many of the
numbug pretendera who have set them
selves up as auperlor beings, will begin tc
see themselves as others see them, if no
thoir case la as deplorable as It is hopeless.
Guido Colonna is the commandant of the
garrison of Pisa, which, besieged by the
arm lea of Florence, la reduced to the lant
extremity, the sack of the town seeming
Imminent. At this point Prinslvalle, a mer
cenary leader in the pay of the Florentines,
eenda a message that he will spare the city
and send in provisions If Vanna, the wife
of Guido; will come to him for one night,
"naked and wrapt in her cloak."
Guido, who baa some virtue, Is naturally
furious when he hears of this request. The
individual who should have been most In
dignant, however, consents immediately to
this shameful bargain. When the English
peeress inquired of Pauline Bonaparte now
she could have endured to sit for "tha al
together" to the sculptor Cahova, the sister
or napoleon, imagining that the overpar
ticular Anglalse referred to the tempera
ture and not to the exposure, answered,
"un, tnere was a nra in tne room.
Vanna'a philosophy excels that of the
frlaky Pauline. The wife of Guido puts on
a pair of shoes, wraps herself in a cloak
according to the contract, and repairs to
the tent of the Florentine leader.
In a pleoe in which almost all the per
sonages are more or less repulsive rascals
it Is hardly necessary to state that Prinsl
valle is a traitor, and that ho has arranged
to sell his employers "as cruelly, aa mar
tally, as possible." In coming to his tent.
Vanna is wounded In the shoulder, and she
partially opens the upper paTt of her cloak
to show Prinzivalle the wound. The scene
between the precious pair has a side which
is slightly comic Says Prinzivalle: "You
are naked under that cloak? "Yes. re
piles Vanna, and then the modest matron
''makes a movement to throw off the
cloak," but Prinslvalle "stops her with a
gesture." wrier tnis. vanna becomes less,

says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The eyes of
the audlt-nee are constantly upon him and
he must not move a muscle of hla face or
Doay or tne illusion would be destroyed.
His out-stretched arms are supported bv a
crosspiece nailed to the pole, and during the
first performance of "The Wizard of Oz"
both of Stone's arms went sound asleep snd
when Dorothy came to take him from the
pole he really needed her support until he
could restore the circulation. .The other
day the "scarecrow" related an amusing
incident of this tedloua pose. "One night,
aald he, "when the acene was about half
through, I felt an almost uncontrollable
desire to sneeze. The very thought of such
a calamity rilled me with horror, and I re
solved not to give may to the temptation.
I summoned all my will power and tried to
bring a little Christian fortitude to hear on
the situation, at the same time holding on
to those twitching muscles like grim death
to a grasshopper. Thoas seven or elht
minutes before I was expected to come to
life seemed like 1.0UO years. The tears ran
down my cheeks, and the prickling, champagne-like
sensation snread from m v nnu
to my head and ran down my neck like a
oae or electricity, ah tnia time the sneeze
waa gathering accumulated force, and
finally, in spite of me. It burst out like the
charge of a Gatllng gun. Then I heard a
roar from the audience, and knew that I
had been able to restrain the sneeze until
Just the right minute, wh'n Dorothy was
supposed to bring me to life by means of
ber magic ring. My sudden awakening
made a bit that night, but I would not go
through such an experience again for any
amount of glory."

Musical
For tbs third time la Its history the ehelr
of ths First Methodist Episcopal ehurch
sings a funeral service in mamory ef a de
parted clergyman, who was In closs touch
with them snd with their work. Rev, John
McQuold, who fell asleep a few short tea
sons sgo; Bishop John P. 'Newman, about
ths same time, and now Rev. Auguatlns C.
Hirst, who left last week to hear the choir
invisible, thVIug off ths earthy tabernacle
of this body, la Chicago, on Thursday even-
in f.
Today his choir will log a song of hope.
a song of that place where there are as
shadows, where all Is light and aoag. And
with the thought of the great master-poet
each one will devoutly sing of an earnest
desire that "there may be no moaning of
the bar when I put out to sea." The doctor.
whose ministry, as far as his choir wst
concerned, was ons of mutual appreciation,
has met his Pilot face to face. His bark
has been wafted e'er the boundless deep
by winds of gentls fullness, and as hs has
"turned again home" hs has left behind
him a deep and beautiful sea of kind
thoughts, generous actions, great plans ful
filled snd deeds of valor dons In the church
militant.
With such clergymen as Dr. Hirst choir
work Is a pleasure. When the recording
angel looks over his record hs will not
find many places where the word of praise
was withheld. Dr. Hirst knew full well the
value of the ministry of music Many and
many a time has his presence at rehearsal
been a delight. And he used to enjoy the
working out of musical details. Is It any
wonder, then, that the choir would listen
spellbound to his description of the con
version of the Priestess of Python, or fol
low him In his tremendous torrents of ora
tory as he expanded on the vital verity of
the faith of our fathers.
Such clergymen never have trouble with
their choirs, snd choirs under such a min
istry are drawn very close to the kingdom,
which, we are told, must be entered Into as
a little child.
I know nothing of Dr. Hirst as a theolo
gian, nor do I worry thereat But I de
know that muslo In Omaha has lost a closs
friend and the best Ideals of church muslo
a stalwart supporter and enthusiastic cham
pion. Ha has gone a little way ahead, that's
all!
X have received a letter from a friend who
i.fnrTx. ma that tha Ellerv band is making
a most emphatic success under the new
leader. My friend read ths article in mis
wanks ago In which I com
mented upon the fact that Creatore and
bis band were coming here witnout ure
atore. The letter la accompanied with a
newspaper clipping highly eulogistic of the
new leader.
T aaw In a naner last week thst ths Audi
torium directory had selected sa the official
opening muslo of the Auditorium a piece
called the "March of the White Rats."
This la gratifying. Next!
Mra. I. T, Cook will assist ths choir of

singing for the offertory muslo a solo.
"Face to Face."
Mr. Marlon Green, bass soloist of St.
Luke's church, Dubuque, was a caller at
this office yesterday, He was on his way
te Denver to fill an engagement there. I
passed him over to the redoubtable Taber
at that point Mr. Taber la organist of a
prominent church there.
There la one musician in Omaha whose
work is dons in a very obscurs place and
yet I have no doubt but that bis music Is
heard by more people every Sunday tnan
any organist or choirmaster In the city. Hs
has been playing twice every Sunday and
his programs have been very varied, and,
tn spite ef all that, he has never had a
program In this paper, nor has his name
ever crept Into print her. I refer to Mr.
Lanzendorfer. His studio Is tn the belfry
of Trinity cathedral and his Instrument
the csthedral chimes. His work has been
most distinctly gratifying. His tempo is
good, his tones are well brought out with
out halting and without "syncopation." He
has been reviving a number of the old
tunes and they have come with an Irre
sistible charm to us in the last few weeks.
His work hss been noticed and I offer him
my sincere congratulations. '

MUSICAL LIFE IN NEW YORK
Opaortmlttes far ' Aslvaaeezaesta Of -

The custom of sending musical students
abroad to acquire the training necessary
for a professional career has been decried
as long as It hsa been a custom. The re
ply to all objections wss that only in
Europs could ths musician And ampls op
portunltles to pursue his studies. It waa
net alone that the best teachers lived la
Germany and France, but tha general fa
cllitles for musical advancement were im
measurably superior te those offered la this
country. While this wast true, it ts so no
longer. But the change has corns about so
gradually that It Is difficult to make people
realize it, says ths New York Evening
Post
There are fifteen or twenty professional
schools for tbs study of music tn Now York
City proper and a half-dozen more In
Brooklyn. Moat of them ars well conducted
and offer a satisfactory training In vocal
and Instrumental performance and la the
theoretical study of music, although as to
the last ths demand for It Is not as press
lng aa ons oould wish. The percentage of
those who study harmony and counterpoint
Is very imaU and la confined almost ex
clusively to professional students, But
this Is probably true in all parte of the
world.-
Ths faculty of ths National Conservatory
of Mualo (to taks ths most prominent of
these schools) Includes several men, con
tact with whom Is Itself an Inspiration. This
Institution, founded by Mrs. Jeannette M,
Thurber, has had a long and honorable
past under her guidance. During his sojourn
tn this country Aatonla Dvorak waa dean
of the factulty, and Rafael Joseffy has bssn
head of ths piano department for soms
years. An excellent school of opera, di
rected by Eugene Dufrlchs, Is ons of Its
most Important adjuncts, and three years
ago a notable departure was mads in ths
formation of an orchestra of soms fifty
men. Oustav Hlnrlcbs, Emll Psur, and Leo
Schuls have, In turn, guided its fortunes
and the public performances have been
worthy of high commendation. Leopold
Llchtenberg and Max Bplcksr taks charga
of ths violin and counterpoint and com
position classes, and Henry T. Flnck lectures
on the history of muslo. New York is

DeWolfe $6,000. The sotress recently
bought In Italy four seventeenth century
paintings, agreeing to pay $6,000 for them
when ssfely delivered at her summer resi
dence In Versailles. Whsn the paintings
arrived experts pronounced them spurious
copies and Mkts DeWolfe refused to psy.
Tbs Italian dealer came te Paris and
brought suit M. Ssrdou, who Is rated
here as the best living authority on old
Italian plcturss, pronounced the works not
genuine, whereupon the magistrate gave a
decision tn favor of the American woman.
King Leopold recently made a flying trip
here for a hurried conference -with Mr.
Walsh, his business partner, and Mr, Walsh
returned with the king to Ostend, where
he attended a dinner given to the shah of

Mr. Walsh was one of ths bidders for the

Clyde Fitch writes to the World corre

the climate there seems to be doing him
good, but the doctors, whose frank opinion
he demanded, hava advised him to make his

of his troubles and ths complication of dis
eases renders him unfit for any operation.
Mr. Fitch writes that despite his physicians.
he retslns some hope and all hla pluck.
Mr. Fitch believes hs would hava died In
