last week trmy reasonably be classed
irlth the uneventful In Omaht'i theatrical
calendar. as it eonUlned Bathing worthy
of serious thought or even remembrance.
Manna and Mason furnished a fairly good
entertainment In the farce comedy line
on the Brat two nlghte and "All on Ac
count of Eliza." which eame next, waa In
differently bad. The moat ambltioue offer
ing of the week at the Boyd waa "A Mod

pany. From a purely artletlc atandpolnt
the performance Is entitled to commenda
tion, but the more art the more nauaeatlng
euch plays become. The day may come
hetr actors will feel themselves above
presenting the counterfeits of male and
female drabs, even In the name of art. At
the Orpheum a well made u vaudeville
bill received liberal patronage throughout
the week.

Now and then a very flimsy pretext serves
to excuse an elaborate argument. Just at
present a notable example of this Is being
afforded by the New Tork papers that take
delight In too modern problem play. Very
recently Mr. Charlea Frohman announced
bis Intention of giving a aeries of the early
English morality plays. Mr. Frohman a
motive Is susceptible of at least two In
terpretations. It Is not the purpose here
to discuss either, for neither Is relevant to
the point. In pursuance of his announce
ment, Mr. Frohman caueed t- be produced
at the Mendelssohn hall, lu all its tnedl
meval solemnity and grotesque gr-.vlty.
"Everyman," a most notable example of
the "mysteries" which were shown under
the patronage of the church of the middle
ages for the moral uplifting of the people
cf that time. As a spectacle It is described
as Intensely dull, and as a play It amounts
to absolutely nothing, being merely the
platetudlnous prosing of certain characters,
auch as Fellowship, Knowledge, Good
Deeds, Goods, and so on. Because the pub
llo has not gone Into exstacles over this
ort of play, the advocates of the Immoral
very Ingenuously argue that clean plays are
not wanted. One need not be surprised at
tbla attitude of those who delight In the
refined Indecency of the Pinero type or the
brutally frank vulgarity of Maeterlinck, for
any who can find occasion to advocate plays

There Is a note of encouragement In the
following excerpt from the valldictory of
Lyman B. Glover, which appeared two

trations of foulness, drenched with the
essence of double entendre and garnished
by all the trimmings of social harlotry, ia
now almost free from such offenses against
decency.

mendable outgrowth of recent years. That
there will' always be sporadic examples of
the baleful as well aa the suggestive drama
may be conceded, but the present trend of
the public mind Is most unfriendly to both
and there will never be a reoound in the
other direction. All people whose views are
worth considering demand a clean stage or
none at all. They wish to purchase neither
views of unhapplness nor a dramatic

Mr. Richard Mansfield closed his engage
ment In Chicago last evening, having pre
sented his "JttTTus Caesar" at thirteen per
performances. Superlatives were ex
hausted by the Chicago papers In review
log the production and the Interpretation
of the character of Brutus by Mr. Maos
Sold. Amidst the clouds of smoke arising
from the Incense burned before this great
est of living English-speaking actors, one
very essential point to Omaha people at
least Is obscured. It Is that Mr. Mans
field, who might easily find audiences every
night In the year among the citizens of
half a dozen of the larger cities of the
couotry, disregards his personal comfort
and carries his magnificent art to those
dwellers In outer darkness who could not
otherwise enjoy It. Other great actors
have made occasional Journeys through the
wilderness of one-night stands, but Rich
ards Mansfield Is the only one who has
ever undertaken such excursions as an
annual event. It Is merely another evi
dence) of the artlstlo greatness of the man.

The Joint appearance of Mr. Louie James
and Frederick Wards next Wednesday and
Thursday evenings and Thursday matinee
at Boyd's theater once more, calls atten
tion to the Shakespearean productions of
Managers Wagenbals and Kemper. The
play on this occasion will be "The Tern
pest, which will be a delight to all, be-
cause this exquisite comedy has only been
presented twice during the last, twenty
years and will be, therefore, more or less
a novelty. In the character of Prospero,
assumsd by Frederick Warde, Is shown
how easy It Is to extract happiness from
adversity, how silly It Is to be revengeful
and in spite of Ingratitude, how grand
it Is to always consider the happiness of
others. Louis James will be seen in the
role of Caliban, a character which, by the
way of contrast, in his ugliness, hie venge
ful nature and Ignoble condition shows
the Inevitable penalty of laziness, un
kindness and discontent. The Innocent
loves of Miranda and Ferdinand, with their
delightful wooing, the loyalty, truth and
faith of the fairy spirit Ariel, and the

and that Is the seeming Impossibility of
being able to reproduce these poetto fairy-
like scenes on the stage. The action ot the
play is supposed to take place on an en-
cnaniea island, inhabited by gnomes.
sprites and fairies of all kinds and condi
tions, and where Prospero has become a
voluntary exile with his daughter Miranda.
It therefore necessitates a spectacular
stage production. Mr. Norman Hackett
will be seen a Prince Ferdinand, Just ' the
style of character his admirers would have
him assume. Miss Edith Fassett will be
seen as Ariel, Mr. Wadsworth Harris aa
Antonio and Miss Teresa Maxwell will be
the beautiful lovelorn Miranda.
The nautical comedy drama "Down
by the Sea," will be the attraction
at the Boyd Friday and Saturday nights
and Saturday matinee this week.
The drama Is of English origin and was
for several seasoDB the comedy drama
success ot the larger cities of the United
Kingdom. It had Its premier American
production In Boston last season, where
It won approval. It has been greatly
changed sines its first presentation here
to fit the tastes of American audiences.
Its action Instead of taking place on the
jsnguen coast has been transferred to
Long Island. The story deals with the
customary love. Intrigue and revenge, with
the hero triumphing In the last act. The
big sensational scene of the play Is the ship

Musical
The fact that thousands of young people
are studying the art ot music, and few are
making great successes, has forced itself on
the mlnda of many thinkers.
You and I know some hundreds ot stu
dents, people with talwnt, with brains, with
opportunities, and yet how very few ot
them can talk to us on the subject of music
In auch a way as to interest us intensely

There Is a law. Inflexible but kind, which
compels those who wish to accomplish any
thing to "pay the price." Five-dollar gold
pieces are not found In mines, but the gold
crude and unpolished Is there.
To have the glittering gold pieces, the
ring eetttng, or the chaste cuff button, re
quires labor, workmanship, close attention.
That is tbe price of the polish.
The young business man does not "pay

Let me remind you of two quatrains which
you have read, the first from that sweet
singer, dear old Dr. Horatlus Bonar, and
the second from the straight-forward Rud

Thine -earthly loss Is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises! wnat are menr
Bonar.
And only the Master shall praise us, and
only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and no
one shall worn ror lame;
But each for the Joy of the working, and
each, in his separate 'star.

It la a question whether or not It will be
found necessary to close the gallery of
Boyd'a theater when musical events - are
booked. The Yoong Men's Christian asso
ciation concert last Thursday night was an
occasion which was marked by conduct on
the part of the "gallery" that should not be
tolerated for an Instant. Calls of derision
directed against the personal appearance ot
artists, greetings of other artists ot na
tional repute by "gallery" calls of the
artist's given name, etc., are out of place
in the leading theater of Omaha. If the
Young Men's Christian association Is not to
blame, it should exonerate Itself or explain,
and if the Boyd theater management is not
to blame. It should do likewise. ' - ' '
There was a time when such things could
not be. Who Is at fault T
Is this an echo of "rag-time" free-and-
easy concerts, with official recognition, or
of catering to a disorderly element at
"street fair carnivals," which, by the way,
Omaha has outgrown, even if some of her
citizens have not?
Omaha! "How many crimes have been
committed (and commlttee-d) la thy
name?"
The Msy festival scheme Is booming. The
choir will rehearse tomorrow night at, the
Kountze Memorial church. The committee
of business men has met several times snd
plans ara being developed. There are still
a few vacancies in the "one-bundred-dollar'
subscription Hat, but not many. Thirty
subscriptions of $100 each (guarantee fund)
are to be secured before the single tickets
are sold. It is expected, but not promised,
that guarantors will be generously re
funded, although not to the full extent ot
their subscription, but nearly so.
The Woman's club directory, at its meet'
ing last Monday, voted that as an expert
ment for this season new members may be
admitted into musical department, exclu
slvs ot all the rest of tho club privileges,
at the rate ot $2 per year. Tbla was
readily granted when it was made clear that
In order to have a successful and active
musical club said club must have a auffl
clent number of enthusiastic and earnest
students and musical people who will be
capable ot creditably taking part on pro
grams (which Is not the case at present).
All of the prominent teachers are greatly
In favor of this new plan of membership
and recommend it to their pupils as a
source ot stimulus to work and musical
progress. New members will be expected
to participate on programs and also to
work In the history class, which will meet
for the first time next Friday morning,
October 31, at 10:30, and be conducted by
Mrs. Sheets, who promises to give this
branch of the work close attention and
thorough interest.
This move on the part of the Woman's
Club means much to the students of musle
hereabouts. It will be a splendid oppor
tunity to go in and work. I would urge
every student of music to get Into the de
partment at once. Don, watt to Bee if it
will be a success. Go In and help make
it auch. I believe that every teacher will
see the necessity ot urging bis or her pupils
to help make the musical department of the
Woman'a Club a grand success.
Relative to the "Creche Lenten musl-
cales," I have been asked to announce that
the subscription tickets to the musicales
are not limited to those who have received
notices from the committee. The series
will be specially interesting aod anyone
wishing to become a subscriber may do so
by means ot a postal card addressed to
Mrs. Clement Chase, Secretary, 815 Park
avenue.
Single tickets will be sold only to out-of-
town guests of subscribers.
Some of the prominent musical patron
esses of tbe "Lenten series" are devising
a scheme whereby students will be ad
mined at a reasonable tariff, upon applt
cation from their teachers. This is I
splendid Idea and it should be productive
of much good.
It gives me much personal pleasure to
announce that Dr. Baettcna has decided to
remain In Omaha and has declined a flatter
ing offer In order to do so.
