THE OIAIIA" DAIIT BEE; BUNDAY, OCTOKDK If), 1002. 15 (V ; 1 Amusements M'tth "The Ptorka" at one end of the werk and "Robin Hood" at the other. Omaha was well entertained with lyric ongs and musical nonsrnae last week. Some disappointment was felt over the (act that Miss Van Studdlford did not appear, thereby depriving local admirer of the Bostonlsns of the expected new piece. "Maid Marian." Omaha might have foregone the pleasure of hearing Miss Van Studctiford. but the hope of seeing something new by this company wa high and It was with real regret the announcement was received that the management would not risk an understudy taking Maid Marian, or rather the countess of Huntington (for Marian and Robert have been safely wedded), to the crusades. However, as dear Barnabee bids fair to equal the record of Tennyson's brook, wo may hear of the adventurea of the sheriff of Nottingham In the holy land at another time. Omaha gare "The Btorks" . a rery cordial greeting and the Bostonlans their customary enthusiastic welcome. At ths Crelghton-Orpheum a typical vaudeville bill of really high grade was well patron ised. It tsnt a rery big world we live In, after all. and events apparently local In their effects reach out farther than would be at first thought likely. When Orestes L. Beaa wrote his "Corianton," he did hot expressly stamp it Mormon, but, the au thor being a Mormon and his backers being; Mormons, some of the thoughtless who wrote about the play prior to Its production Insisted on surrounding It with a Mormon atmosphere. It was even as serted that the purely imaginary characters and Incidents of the play were founded on Mormon history, or history developed by Mormon research. This suggestion Is too abeard to warrant attention, bat It carried weight with It among the uninformed, and these latter are both numerous and densely ! Ignorant aa to American archaeology and j Mormonlsm alike. When the play was first I produced It was at Salt Lake City, the capital ot Mormonlsm, under the manage ment of Mormons, and by them It was i finally started on Its career through the .cities to what Its author, its players and Its backers hoped would be an artistic sue. 'cess. About this time a terrible murder ira committed In New Tork, and the .crime was laid at the door of a Mormon, 'immediately a hue and cry was raised by the press of Ootham agalnat the Mormon church. All the past sins snd misdeeds of lta dead and gone leaders were paraded In sensational colors, what was lacking in ', historical accuracy being compensated for by Tehemenee of asseveration, and not a joint that could be turned against the church was overlooked. Just as much reason exists 'for oondsmnlDg any of the other denomina tions wholesale because some one profeeslng any of their special religious beliefs stains hi hand In human blood, and Just as much reason for going back Into the not so very distant past and parading afresh the atroci ties done In Europe in the name ot the church. But this was a "modern instance. and the yellow Journals oould not lose their opportunity. William Hooper Young was tried and convicted of the murder ot Mrs. Fulltser by the newspapers of New Tor long before the courts have even approached the consideration of his esse, and the Mor mon church was made a party to the crime, .probably because the attack on an Indi vidual lacked the flavor that would attach to aa attack on a whole people.. New "Tork was the goal for which Corianton" wa headed, but with the outburat against Mormootom being eo vigorously agitated, ilt seemed suicidal to go there with a play : tainted with Mormonlsm. Kansas City aaw the end. "Oortanton" was not a Mormon play. It -was a play founded on the holler, loftier !,entlnienta of religion and humanity and taught a lesson as elevating in Its tone and as easy in Its application as the -Sermon on the Mount." Its lines In no tastanoe pointed toward any church. Prei jyterlanlsm or Roman Catholicism were a llksly to be benefited by the play as Mormonlsm. Its only crime lay In the fact that 1U author and Its backers and many ot those who took part in Its presen tation were members ot the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Its lines were pure and noble In sentiment. Its whole action was based on the beauties ot a godly lite and It waa invested with a production as munificent as human Ingenuity could fdevUe. No more attractive entertalnmeut was ever presented In the west, nor did ever actors work more conscientiously or llovtngly to make a play a success than did Mr. Joseph Ha worth and his assoclstes. iThetr effort were not wholly In vain, 'even If they were denied the satisfaction 'of playing before New York audiences. Those who did see It will always havs moat pleasant recollections of the piece and the players. It was not even hinted 'by the hackers of the company that they ! feared to go into New York; no word jwas ever dropped by them which could be construed into connecting the church witn v .1... tH ihmilT nald off all claims - 1 r ' 1 'against the company, gave their actors full salaries and tickets to their homes and closed the career or "fjortanto. Ntw York still has Iris." "Tb Pleasures of Living' and that sort of drama and the Ootbamltes will likely never know what they have missed. It to not pleasant, though, to have ths task of chronicling the failure ot a really meritorious play, based solely oa an Ameri can tonta. While Blanche Walsh's man agers are delving Into the mists of African lore to find a topic sufficiently torrid to withstand the calorific passions of that lady, and while Rome, Oreece, India. Judea, the very ends of ths earth, are being raked to provide material to be aet forth under some foreign title aa written by some foreign author, an American play by an American author, containing all the ele ments of barbaric splendor, poetic expres sion aad Intensely dramatic action Is shelved. Why this Is passes mortal ken. Ons who loves his country and his coun try's literature can only exclaim with Polonlua, " TU true Us pity, and pity 'tis Us true." Stevea J. Donleavy of Denver, who Is not ton now a la Omaa. has added to the gaiety of the nations by heading a crusade of the Irish against "McPaddea's Row of Flats la aolems serious boss the Ancient Order f Hibernians of Oeaver, of which Mr. Donleavy Is president, met and adopted resolutions denouncing and protesting against ths caricatures of Irish men and women presented "by the Incompetents who are masquerading through the country in (his expiring kick of ths farce comedy. In thus dignifying the abuse complained of by giving It official and serious attention Mr. Donleavy aad bis hot-headed aaaoclstea hardly do Justice te the intelligence of the American people, who are tar too well ac attainted with the character ot the Irish to be misled by the slmlan-liks antics ot ths persons who took part In "Mcfadden's Row of Flats." But now that the precedent has been set. we msy expect to hear of La Cercle rrancaia expoeiuiauns ue American public In an effort to prove that Alphonse and Gaston are not typical Frenchmen; ths Swedes will sdopt resolu tions to the effect that Ole Oleaoa is only an American notion of ths Bwede; the Turnvereln will denounce Hans Ml or "Rudolph and Aaolph," and ths Freedom's AM aedety may revive long enough to ta- siat that Bill Bailey Is not to be taken as a type of the domesticsted darkey. Of a verity, at this distance it seems that Mr. Itanleavy In his zeal to defend his nation ality went off at half cok.

San Francisco. Calif. The preas agent has to earn his salary somehow, and that Is the excuse for pub lishing this story on the Bostonlans. The Bostonlans are experiencing mis fortune at the commencement of their tour. Not on the score of business, for the Academy success has so far been equaled on the road. The troubles were brought about by the Influx of Knights Templar to the city of Dayton, O. When the seventy odd members of the Bostonlans' organisa tion arrived In Dayton about S p. m., after a weary Journey from Wheel ing. W. Vs., they found that 8.000 strong of, knights and their ladies fair had possession ot every room, closet, hallway and bath room in the place. Shakedowns had been Improvised In every corner to accommodate the Masonic conclave. Here was a dilemma. A performance of "Robin Hood" in the evening with no place to sleep afterwards. Prayera, entreaties, smiles and bribes were of no use; even the p ret Meet chorus girl In the bunch, with her most winning grlmsce, had no persua sion with the hotel olerk. "Everything engaged for a month," was the reply. Miss Van Studdlford threatened to resign right away. Mr., and Mrs. H. C. Barnabee, laden down with grips, took possession of one ot the hotel elevators and refused, to budge. Matters were very serious Indeed. Dayton was also crowded with visitors who had secured whatever private accommodation was available, so It was useless to appeal to the hospitality of the citizens. At the eleventh hour (there is always an eleventh hour in cases of misfortune, and this hap pened Just as the town clock was striking 11 and the curtain was falling), the man ager of the theater came to the rescue. He suggested that every dressing room should be cleared of the trunks and cots Installed for the ladles, and that the stage should be set with, a drawing room interior to keep off the draughts, and fixed up as a dormitory for the men. The telephone was set to work and various furniture dealers of the city were solicited for the requisite num ber of cots, so that everybody wss made happy. The novelty of the situation then showed itself to the company and good humor took the place of despair. W. H. MaoDonald was so delighted that after fix ing up his cot he started out about mid night to get some oysters, but he forgot to notify the watchman of the theater, and hero began another series of troubles for himself. When he returned to the stage door he found the entire place tn darkness and the theater locked. Every aprpoach was bolted and barred. He knocked bard enough to arouse the seventy odd sleepers, but not one could help him. The watch man bad gone home after doing bis duty, to wit: seeing that the theater was secure from housebreakers. There was no help for It. Mr. MaoDonald hsd to find shelter somewhere, so be started for the railway depot with the Intention of dosing until train time In the waiting room. He ar rived Just In time to find a Western limited express about to pull out. Its first stop was Indianapolis. Thia was Just the thing, he thought, as the Bostonlans played that city on the next evening, so he engaged a berth tn a Pullman. Again, unfortunately, he had a through ticket to Terrs Haute, the next stsnd where the company would appear another evening. The ticket had stopover privileges, but he for sot to In form the Pullman conductor pf this, and having paid the through sleeper rste he was sot aroased until the train was a good way beyond Indianapolis. However, Terre Haute is only a few hours Journey from the Indiana capital, and Mr MacDonald re turned in time to make his appearance as Little John. Cvmtmaj TsTvwa Mason and Mason the two German com edians who mads a dls'toot bit at the Boyd last season in the eccentric comedy "Ru dolph and Adolph," will be seen at ths Boyd In the same play this afternoon, to night and Monday night. Blnce their last visit the eomedy has been changed to fit present theatrical conditions. Ons fea ture which is pleasing audi en oes this sea son is the singing snd danoing girt chorus recently added. With the exception of the two principals not ons who waa In the cast last season remain. A most original scans shown by Messrs Mason and Mason is the mirror scene, K which one poses In frost of the frame supposed to contain a glaas. while the other goes through the actions of the first one behind the empty frame. The deception is complete aad very funny. "All oa Account of EMsa," a comedy which bas enjoyed a season ot success throughout the east. Is ths Tuesday and Wednesday attraction at the Boyd theater. The play tella the story of ths tribulations encountered by a pretty city bred achool teacher, who is selected to teach the dis trict school In a small town In western New York. Sbs unwittingly incurs the hostility, of ths women gossips of ths ham let and precipitates a social riot In the peltte circles ot ths village. Her firm de fender is an old retired cattle dealer, who la the president of ths local board of edu cation. He U of German birth and he comes hopelessly Involved in his efforts to express himself tn ths English tongus. There sre a number of other character types In the play that serve as excellent tolls to ths leading characters. Mr. Edward Lee will be seen In ths character of ths president of tha school .board and Miss The complete Derrick theater production Is promised. "A Modern Magdalen," tho latest ot the Amelia Bingham plays, will be peen at the Boyd for three performances, opening Fri day night. "A Modern V.agdalen" was written by Haddon Chambers. Its story deals with the tribulations of a beautiful woman who sacrifices herself to save those she dearly loved and is a lesson of the heartlessness of the world In casting stones st the unfortunate. The play teaches Its lessons slong with the heart throbs, for lute famine the Magdalen suffers from her own sins and finds her greatest grief in her greatest love. Roselle Knott and W. J. Ferguson will be seen In the leading roles They will be supported by Frsnklyn Roberts, Agnes Flndlay, Daniel Jarrett, Katherlne Fisher, Victor M. de Bllke, Louisa Osborne, Charles Mason. George Spink. Alice Melville, Harry Tillford and others of equal prominence. The Four Madcaps, novelty dancers from Europe, mill be one of the principal tea tures of the new bill opening a week at the Orpheum with a matinee today. Theso four coquetlrh maids constitute the first group of terpsichorean belles to come to the vaudeville house this season. Lew Hawkins, the "Cbeeterfleld of minstrelsy" Is well linown here. He has always shown an ambition to have something different at each return. Smith. Doty and Coe are a trio of musical comedians whose accom plishments extend to a varied lot of In struments and a unique brand of comedy. Carrie Graham will make Omaha's ac quaintance as the fun-making, quaint country girl, while Brannan and Martini will also have a laughable "stunt." They are comic conjurors. The former of the two, a magician, presents some mystifying illusions which are exposed by his comi cal, blundering helper and turned Into ludicrous, laugh-provoking situations. Athalle Clair is a soprano with a charm ing personality. Comedy acrobatics Is the specialty of Gogln and Davis. Entirely new scenes will be shown by the kino drome. Plays and Players. J. H. Gllmour. who Is with Mrs. Patrick Campbell in "The Joy of Living." is simply spet-lHlly engaged." John Blair continues as leading man. Miss Mnhel Reeri hn waa with ffca, Woodward Stock company at Kansas City, Joined the "Storks'" at Omaha and will fin ish the season with that company. Eleanor Lawhoii hn lw.n .nffavi Kv George C. Tyler as an addition to James p Nell's support in "The Honour ot ths Humble." William Faversham abandons tha ranter and gauntlets of the rlajmlo nun Pnr and la rehearsing in a new comedy by H. V. Minuna, tne autnor oi wnen we Were Twenty-One." It is a play of today, in three acts. It required considerable persuasion on the part of Jules Murry to persuade Rose Cog h lan to essay the role of Miss Muiton. made famous by Clara Morris. Now, however. Miss Coghlan believes that Miss Multon is the hit of her life. Mr. Richard Mansfield's nrnductlon of "Julius Caesar" Is hlghlv nralsexi bv the Chicago press. In the character of Brutus Mr. Mansneia nas achieved a notable tri umph, his portrayal of the noblest Roman of them all being said to be the greatest 'Friends." that charming comedy-drama by Edwin Milton Royle. has been partly rewritten by the author and will again be presented this season by the "Royles," as they are called; Edwin Milton Royle, Selena Fetter Royle and a specially selected com pany. Blanche Bates' debut In "The Darling of the Gods," the Japanese play by David Be lasco and John Luther Long, will take place at the National theater. Washington, November 17. Robert T. Haines has suc ceeded Eugene Ormonde as her leading man, The "Ariiona" companies, of which there are two at present playing throughout the country, are more than equalling the suc cess they acquired In previous seasons, and this popular comedy drama Plus fair to De Digger comedy success during mis season than ever before. 8lr Arthur Sullivan's last opera, "The Emerald Isle," in which Jefferson de An gells Is cavorting at the Herald Square, has nnauy Deen maue American enougn to suit the comedian, and accordingly the public. On October 20 the New Y'ork engagement ends In favor of Martin Harvey, and Mr. de Angelis takes to the road with a two months' metropolitan run to his credit, work he baa yet accomplished. Richard Carle and Gilbert Gregory had a little fun at the expense of Mloa De tiousa at the matinee last Wednesday. In one scene, wherein Miss De Souna has a solo, she advanced to ti.e footlights with the Bungaloo and Slimguff Joyously carolling: "She used to live in Omaha, Omaha, Omaha! She used to live in Omaha, O-m-a-a-h-a-a." It nearly ended the solo. A decade ago It waa thought phenomenal when A. M. Palmer's Stock company made a flying trip from New York to Washington and return, to appear for a benefit, without interrupting any of the regular evening performances tn the metropolis. On Octo ber 14. however. De Wolf Hopper hastened from Milwaukee to Chicago to appear at a matinee for the Actors' Fund Home, but played as usual in "Mr. Pickwick" that night at the Davidson in Milwaukee. To do thia he had to travel eighty-five mllea In eighty-five minutes. Hopper, however, got used to distances as soon as he grew up and had to button his own shoes. Musical Now that the Auditorium management has changed hands it is to be hoped that If any changes are made In the building music will be considered. Music, heavenly maid, will surely lay down her weary head with gratitude when she finds in Omaha a home. "Art" bas here a home. "Literature" has a horns. The "drama" has a home. "Commerce" has mansions, and "politics" has palaces. And music! Alas! Well, thank heaven. It has at least a lodging once a week In the churches of the most high God! Gloria In excelsls Deo, and thanks be to the church militant. It is unnecessary to appeal to Omaha people In aupport of mnalc, because those who can see what mualo Is do ses, and do support, and thoss who don't support don't see, and can't see, snd so God pity them! The musical apostles and their disciples, numbering hundreds, have no place to call a home, and this ought to be a cause for blush in a city ths size of Omaha. Not a studio building and over two score teachers paying rent in building all over town. Not a hall for rehearsal a church base ment must be secured (again thanks to the church). No place to give a concert except ths high-priced theater when you can get It (or a church), and concerts being given every season, with more in prospect this season than ever. Oh! Where is Enterprise? Has the maid been locked up In somebody's safe? Is she etralning her eyes so far outside tw secure a "Macaroni factory" or some thing else equally possible, that she cannot see several hundred students appealing to her "Build us a home; here Is our mite," or the teachers coming with supplications "Build us a home, here is our rental of two or three hundred dollars a year apiece," or artists of note, saying. '"Why don't you build a place where we can show what we have recently learned to those children of your city who want to learn, but have to stay at home and work, also?" And Enterprise is deaf to ths cry, though ths cry is a buslneas cry. O, that tbs fair maiden of Enterprise would take her ear from the long-distance telephone! Perchance the Auditorium company, if it secures any more property, may consider music. Let as hope so. anyway. If we are di .appointed It will only be another hope gone, to be succeeded by yet so other. I tn not a pessimist. Omaha ull jet havs a boms for music. Msy the earnest words written now bear fruit! That'll be all! Tha musical department of the Woman's club held its first meeting of the season last Friday, when ths following program was given: Chumlnade Ia Matin, Op. 7 Piranl Airs Bohemlens, Op. U (For two pianos.) Miss Boulter and Miss Paulson. Frank B. Hastings.... la) A Red. Bed Rose b) For Love of You Mrs. Arthur L. Rheetx. Accompanist. Miss Carpenter. xieaaing Miss Grace Conklln. Vocal Selected Mrs. Charles Urquhart. LIU Rhapsodic No, U ' Miss Grace Hancock. I have had a lengthy letter from Dr. Charles Baetens. in which he advises me of the fact that he Is considering an offer to take the position formerly held by Dr.' Jacobson In the Chicago College of Music. The local musicians are rejoiced over the return from Europe of Mr. Robert Cusca den by the way, why not Herr Cascu Roberten, Instead of plain Robert Cuscaden, after the manner of some? who have been studying snd playing in ths famous or chestra of Berlin, and filling other engage ments for the last four years or so. Mr. Cuscaden will settle down In Omaha and he will be a great acquisition to the musi cal colony. He will teach violin and will accept engagements. He expects to open a studio In the near future, say, the mid dle or this week. I have a letter from a friend who used to hear the music in the Omaha churches and who is now In another prominent American city. He has some bright things to gay, which ars worth repeating, and therefore I will set down a few here. Friends of his need not send him the paper. Mere is one: "i like to listen to a smiling preacher telling his friends that the people will come if the gospel is properly presented.' " Then he adds as a commentary on this statement "No mat ter who occupies the pulpit, when the choir has a program ths ushers cannot seat the people." Yes, brother, there are ways and ways of presenting the gospel, and this tired old world likes the appeal ot harmonious voices, rather than some of ths inglorious rsnting and superfluous tone gymnastics which sometimes are used as the vehicle of expression for the old and simple truths. He proceeds: "I have patronixed all ths leading Institutions in ths spiritual line In - county, hoping to bear some good mualo, but have met with no success. Nothln doln" but quartets and half gal lons. I went four miles across the city the other day to hear one of the Episcopal choirs give 'Now the Day Is Over.' It was poorly given and my day for going there is over. The same evening in my quest for musio I dropped in on an organ chris tening. One of the stars played the Spring Song.' In addition to a long list of numbers the good father preached a powerful sermon, in very choice, high Ger man. My German vocabulary consists of the few words you utter when a friend from the vaterland asks you to smile with him. You can picture my enjoyment." I He alludes to the chimes in a church in that city and says: "At every service they furnish the means of a somewhat In teresting gams which forms a curtain raiser, as it were, to the main show. The game Is guessing what tune is being played. It is impossible for any one to win. at least, nobody has hit the tune so far. They are played by bandies Instead of keys, In order to get in the delicate shadings. You ought to hear those shades." Speaking of the youDg people's meetings he says: "They use somebody's 'pent-up gospel hymns.' One ot them is sung to the chorus of the opening march in the 'Burgo master. The choir of the First Methodist Episco pal church will sing for the first time in Omaha Dudley Buck's "Coming of the King" on the Sunday before Christmas. Rehearsals, therefore, begin this week. The first attraction in the Young Men's Christian association course for the season will be one ot the best musical events of ths present year. It will be In the na ture of a concert, by four prominent artists. Personally I can vouch for each one, aa musical critic ot The Bee. Beefaoeck la a fine pianist, a thoroughly equipped musi cian, and a good writer, and be will bs the pianist of the occasion. George Ham lin stands on the very top line of musical work, a tenor, an artist, a scholar; a man who could successfully invade the hostile ranks of eastern critics with his Richard Btraues tinder his arm, and come out vie torious. Sue Harrington Furbeck Is a new singer to Omaha audiences, but she will bo favorite before she has sung a half page. Mr. Van Oordt has already been praised sufficiently In this column. Hs Is a very temperamental violinist. The date, Thursday evening of this week, October 23. I am told by Mr. Willis that he haa a limited number of single admissions for sale, The May festival choir, or study club, will meet tomorrow night at the First Methodist Episcopal church. Twentieth and Davenport streets, Instead of at ths Kountse Memorial church, owing to the fact that there will be a church service in the Istter place. This will be for one night only. THOMAS J.
