14 TUfi OKAnX DAIL1 BEE? SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1002. Amusements DeWolf Hopper sartd last week from pclng little below the dc-ad level at tha Doyd. It certainly was good to see him Main after the years that have intervened sine "EI Capltan," and to find him ao well fitted, both with a medium and a com pany. "Mr. Flckwi'V It In many waya tho beat thing this popular Binding comedian has ever had. A few years ago be ex preiajd a desire to got out of tha comic opera line and take up morn serious work. Exigencies of the profession led him into tho Weber 4 Fields fold, where he bur eoned to some degree, but It Is very ap parent be has not yet attained the full capacity of his power, and we may hope 'yet to aeo him flit aome of the gaps that 'are being made by death or old age In tho ranko of America's legitimate comedians. "Other old friends in the company were 'heartily welcomed, and one or two new 'faces which shone over Omaha footlights lor the first time made such Impression that people will be glad to see them again. "The Tempest" Is a dreary thing at best, ani the most ambitious of stage mechanics cancot put life Into it. From an artistic I point at least the only apparent excuse for Its production Is that Wagenbala Y t Kemper wanted to give James and Wards a 'vacation and still keep them on the road. I Down at the Crelghton-Orpheum a vaude ville bill with aome very bright spots In lit was well patronized. The popularity of this form of amusement rcall seems to be growing In Omaha, after four seasons of what looked to the management like Success. During the recent convention of the Disciples of Christ In Omaha, one evange list, Rev. Gregory F. Hall of Chicago, 'ought to attract aome attention fro.-n the .press on the reciprocity basis, but wib lost among the really great men who were in attendance.' Since his return to the city by Lake Michigan he has succeeded In get ting some newapaper attention, and may live to rue It. It is reported that during tha course of his sermon last Sunday even ing he went after Richard Mansfield In way calculated to curl the hair of that amiable and estimable gentleman. For a -cause of action the reverend gentleman set tip that It bad been reported to him that ' Mr. Manaflnld swore because aome of the Chicago theaters are used for religious services on Sunday. "It Mr. Mansfield Bald so and bo," Bald Rev. Gregory, "then," and he proceeded to call down several different sorts of anathemas and that kind of thing on Mr. Mansfield. Now, no one who knows Mansfield would ever think blm guilty of ' the language charged. He can use a big D, and doubtless does on proper provocation, but he does not play on Sun day night, and so It Is of no moment to him what goes on at the theater, whether It Is a sermon or a minstrel show, bo long as the theater is, there ready for his uses on Monday night. And he probably never heard of Rev. Gregory F. Hall. But Mr. Mansfield has new manager, one who has suffered long; in editorial harness and who knows the pains and penalties of libel from association with that which is more ubject to suits of this sort than any other American Institution. It la, therefore, prob ably not from motives of revenge that Mr. tLyman B. Glover has begun action against tha enthaslastle preacher for hla III 'advised aspersions against Mr. Mansfield, but to taste the delights of being connected with the plaintiff in an action for libel. (Mr. Hall is contumacious and saya he will ;not retract nor abate his statements, and Mr. Olover aays the court must decide if the communication be privileged. Maybe when Mr. Hall emerges from the ault he .will be of.. the aame opinion still, but a little more chary about expressing It. And as Victor Herbert has Just recovered dam- ages from the Musical Courier for one of its criticisms of an opera, there may be a new vista opening for the people on the stage who have heretofore had no other means of redress than a speech from before the curtain. It is unpleasant to think that one so honored as has been Mr. Bronson Howard should, even under the Influence of a din ner's geniality, defend even tentatively the "problem play." Mr. Howard's own plays are all clean and be has Justly prided him self on this, and, therefore, it is surprising, to say the leapt, to find him credited with .the following, which Is taken from a report f a speech by him at a dinner given In Ms honor by the American Dramatic Writ ers' club of New York, of which he Is presi dent, last Sunday evening. The excerpt Is from the Dramatic Mirror: r ' I have- been complimented on the good morals of my plays. 1 assure you, gentle men, that the morals of those playa have come from artistic Impulses solely. When I wrote them the American people were a moral people. I felt I was Illustrating the American people when they were a moral people. The stage should be as broad as the morals of the people. You must leave It to the people whether they shall reform it or not. But we will net be guided In our morals by the necessity, of that Ignorance which many think the school girl should have. On this point we will defy the critics to the end. Keep yout daughters at home If you want to. We will have more room for the fathers and mothers and they will hear lota they ought to hear. Whatever I line you work In, respect, yourselves and .your work. j We must have the problem play. I don't believe a man can be an artist and a philosopher, but let's try It, anyway. If the problem play has its listeners they must be cutered to. The one thing for you dramatists to do Is to get there. AH we hear about high art comes from nonproducera. In morals don't be scaven gers. Se don t want them in the theater, fltespert your audience. Work that the au dience doesn t receive Is never given to posterity. Also respect the box office. No one knows better than Mr. Bronson ; Howard how weak his argument Is. To I contend that the playwright should con- tent himself, with . merely mirroring his i times and surroundings Is not only to ! lower the standard set for the stage by I Its moat earnest advocates, but In the i present Instance to argue that the people of the world are moral degenerates. If tha nam uurc Hard to attend to daily duties .With a bad back; .With a back that's lame, weak or aching; With annoying urinary disorders; With any Kidney or Bladder ills Doan's Kidney Pills Make work easier; Make lck kidneys well; Cure backache and all Kidney troubles. Endorsed by people you know, here at home. Mr. Charles O. Winger, brick moulder, Ne. Hit North Nine teeth street, says: "A friend et mine heard me complain of aching in my back and trouble with the kidaey secretions. I bad been subject to these attacks frm the day I hurt my back lifting some bouse sills four years ago. This frlead gave ms a box of Doan's Kidney Pills which he bad bought at Kuha sV Co's drug store. I thought a dose or two helped m and I la creased the quantity. The treatment cured me; at least np to date I have not been bothered with any of my old symptoms." 11 drug storoa-eoecuts, Foetsr.MUbura Co,, tffalo,N,T. problem play faithfully presented modern social conditions, then. Indeed, hss society reached a deplorable state and one from which dramatists, acting with all other reformers, should strive to ralae It. It la not true, and the members of the dab Mr. Howard addressed know that it is not. Here and there may exist those moral ulcers that give us Mrs. Ebbsmiths and Mrs. Tanquerays, Saphos, Katlnkaa and Zazas, but they are not typical of aoclety anywhere and It Is an affront to common sense for anyone to. so Insist. That a mor bid condition should lead people to the theater to watch these strenuous heroines flaunt their flagitious frensy or parade their pitiful passions, warmed up Over the em bers of burnt-out loves, should be mis taken for a human Interest In the un clean, la unfortunate If not actually blame- werthy. Mr. Howard's advice to parents to keep daughters at home Is not unlikely to result In the parents remaining at home as well, tor the average man of family, without being a prude, doesn't like to go to plays which be cannot talk about In tho home clsjle. 8ome people like cheese with skippers In it, but most do not. Here are two of Roy Mantel's latest stories told in the Inter-Ocena: Whn Wilton T.nckv was here with the Bingham company he was accompanied by Mrs. LACKaye, according to a new sior which "HIIT Hall Is telllnc At a small after-theater party the conversation took tne course or many conversations m vm cago these days and reference was made to George Ade and the success he had gained, as humorist and playwright. Some body ventured that the young man was investing his money wisely and had pur chased a farm. "Ha h farm In Indiana that he goes to?" Inaulred Mrs. Lackaye. And her niitclr-wittsd hnahand renlled. blandly: "No, my dear he dldn t buy it to go to- Just to refer to. Mr. Mansfield has said many good things In his time, jand a few that were not so good. Yet all ne Interesting because of the contrast they oner, ir lor not oiner reason. The actor, like other studious men. Is frequently preoccupied and likely unaware nf int what hn Is savins", lie Is. In fact, very fond of committing the lines of a new rart to memory wrm no i in motion. Bometlmes he studies while walk imH nn horseback: occasionally Mrs. Mansfield and he drive. On one of these studious drives last September they found a rain was overtaking them and they drove to the country house of a friend who hDnnniail n live near bv. Some country friends of the host had also sought shelter there. The rtWn increased Instead of abat ing and whenAilnner time came there was quite a dinner party. There was among other things an abundance or sweet corn on the table. One of the strangers tried a nmmio nf ojlts. but did not like the corn and said so. His companion replied, with. mingled resroacn ana apoiogy: xou shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." Mansfield glanced up from his plate snd remarked quietly: "He's not looking the gift horse in the mouth; he's looking the corn in tha ear. Coming; Events. Harry Bereeford, well remembered here, will bring his comedy-starring vehicle, "The Wrong Mr. Wright," to the Boyd this afternoon and evening. Mr. Bereeford tried the piece here last season and was very well received. It affords him an excellent vehicle for the display of his peculiar com edy talent. The piece Is a clever and bright affair from the pen of George Broadhurst, the anchor of several good things. Mr. Bereeford claims to be surrounded this sea son by a most capable company, which in eludes his clever wife, Emma Dunn, also known here as a former member of the Woodward Stock company. The comedy Is promised with the necessary stage adjuncts. Uncle Tom, Little Bva, Topsy, Legree, the bloodhounds and Marks the Lawyer will make their annual appearance at the Boyd on Monday night. They will stay until Tuesday night and on Tuesday afternoon a special school children's matinee will be given. Tq accommodate the school children the curtain wil not rise until S o'clock. A big street parade. In which will participate a colored drum corps, two brass bands, a on keys and all the paraphernalia belonging to the show. Including the bloodhounds, will be given at noon Monday and Tuesday. Frank Leo, an old-time minstrel and black face artist, is enacting the role of Uncle Tom this season. The company numbers 100 people, sixty of which are colored peo ple and all of whom are singers, dancers and comedians. The cotton picking seen will Introduce them. Rose Melville, who created the character of 81s Hopkins, a new type of country girl, will be soen in the play of that name at the Boyd Wednesday and Thursday nights. While ."Sis Hopkins" Is a rural drama It Is said not to be on the cosvenilopal lines. All the parts were created to fifth unique character of Bis Hopkins. It has been given very elaborate scenlo investiture. Miss Melville presented .the act. Sis Hop kins, In vaudeville until her work attracted the attention of Manager John R. Sterling, who elaborated it into a play, which has been a big success everywhere. Mr. Stuart Robson will be seen in his re vival of "The Comedy of Errors" at tha Boyd on Friday night and Saturday mat- lnee. On Saturday night he will present "The Henrietta." In "The Comedy ot Er rors" Mr. Robion will enact the role ot Dromio of Syracuse. Dromlo of Ephesus will be in the hands ot Clifford Leigh, an English actor who was at various times tho leading support ot Mrs. Lang try. Sir Charles Wyndham and Cyril Msude. Mr. Leigh Is said to resemble Mr. Robson very much. Edwin Holt, who created the part of Colonel Bonham In "Arlsona," will be seen as Antlpholus of Byracuse and Adolph Jackson will be seen as hla twin brother Antlpholus of Ephesus. Miss Eleanor Barry will handle the part ot Adrians and Mlas Francta Mayo that of her sister, Luciano. Other well known members of the coat are Charles Lane, Cecil Kingston, Jennie Botffcrta of "Trilby" fame, Laura Thomp son, Joseph Keefer and Walter Pennington, nlngton. Eight varied acts, embracing two ot the most prominent head-liners In vaudeville this season and wtth the names of artists that are new to the local patrons, outnum bering the old favorites, will open the week with matinee today at the Orpheum. Hel ens Mora, the noted singer, who hss been distinguishing herself everywhere she has appeared. Is said to be no less a pronounced success In the "continuous" thsn was Jessie Bartlett Davis or Camltle D'ArvlIle, heads the list. Another of the features Is Robert Fulgora, whose name as actor and manager Is familiar to theater-goers. Af ter sn sbsence of seven years, during which period he managed the Trans-Oceanic Star Specialty company and other of his own organisations, he returns to the boards in his old role of transflgurator. He will pre sent tableaux incidental to the surrender of General Lee, Impersonating Lincoln, Grant and other leading figures of the civil war. He will also deliver his exciting reci tation on a horse race. Clara Balerlnl is a trapeze performer from Europe. Flske and MacDonough will present a comedy sketch called "Blnsky's Romance," while Agie Norton, the chic and talkative monologutst, returns with more of that advice to the women that has distinguished her fun making. Arthur Balerinl's dogs Is another foreign feature. Tegge and Daniels, a pair of funny men, and entirely new klnodome pictures completes the program. Flays ass Players. Marlon Mannla has stated her determina tion to go Into vaudeville. Oscar Wilde's play. "Salome." has been forbidden production In Germany. Marie Dressier Is very II! from tvnhold fever and has cancelled all her engage ments. Denman Thompson was B9 years old on October 15. His Boston engagement this season Is for four. weeks. .

Barrle. to be produced shortly In London, has been named "The Admirable Crlchton." Harry Lacy plans to return to the legiti mate stage next season, to appear in the principal role of a new romantic play that ho Is at present dramatizing from a novel. Joseph Jefferson's route rails for his ap pearance In Pittsburg, November I, one week; Buffalo, November 10, 11 and 12; Syra cuse, November 13; Utlca, November 14; Albany, November IK, and In Brooklyn, No vember 17, for a week. His autumn tour ends November 28 In the latter city. David Belssco has Just sent out to his newspaper friends a very handsome and fxpenrfjt'e souvenir of his new playhouse and his very successful play, it is tne Story of the PuBarry. a handsomely f rlnted, beautifully illustrated and caro ully written book, dealing with the his tory or Tance during tne period covered by the play. This souvenir is quite In keeping with Mr. Belasco's policy sines he lias scored success. The first production of Blanche Walsh's new play, '-.The -Daughter of Hamllcar," will be given in Chicago this evening. The company will number sixty-seven peo ple. Managers Wagenhals and Kemper nave prepared a magnificent production of the Dlav. The scenery Is by H. Logan Reld and Joseph Physioo and the costumes by Mme. Frelslnger. A chorus and ballet will be carried. Henry K. Hadley has written all the incidental and chorus music. Miss Henrietta. Grossman's popularity with women has been strikingly manifested at Wallacks theater. New York. At two successive Saturday matinees of "The Sword of the King" the big audiences of women have insisted on a. speech from Miss Crossmon. Speechmaklng from the stage on special occasions, such an first nignts, is noi uncommon, oui lor auuteium to demand it at ordinary performances. and matinees at that, is extraordinary. It shows the (treat admiration In which Miss Crossman Is held by her own sex. In both of her speeches Miss Crossman asserted that she liked to play to women. Mr. Justin Huntly McCarthy has two new plays in hand. A London paragrapner writes: "The first Is a play entitled 'The Proud King,' which he had written for Mr. E. H. Sothern, and which will be produced next autumn in rnew xorn, me nero is the legendary King Robort of Sicily, and in order to obtain local color, for scenlo ofTupta tha vounor dramatist Is about to visit the island. The story relates to the monarch who. boasting that no heavenly power, could depoeSi.liTm, suddenly ' found, himself throneless. In thld rdmantlc drama, there are two leading lemaie ina iwo ieu ing male parts. Mr. McCarthy's second play is of an eighteenth century character, with a strong woman's part, specially written for a popular American actress." Musical I had the pleasure of spending a most agreeable evening last week with Mr. Kron- berg ot Mittelstadt Brothers & Kronberg, managers of the Mascagnl tour. Having known Mr. Kronberg well fo. years, I can vouch for the fact that when he tells me that he considers "Iris" tho greatest ot the modern operas, and Mas cagnl on of the very greatest conductors be speaks from the personsl, not the man agerial standpoint. Apart from the greatness already con ceded to Mascagnl years ago, there Is al ways great Interest In seeing a master con duct hla own works. Maacagnl is a man who works with his mind, his heart, his soulful not with his body. His conducting Is psychical, not physical. The treatment accorded him by part of the New York press, was in my humble opinion, simply brutal. The American spirit of fair play was not for a moment In evidence. The musicians were tired from long traveling, lodging- quest, strange city, etc., and the many necessary slips and accidents. Incidental to a first performance. The way the American people have sup ported tor years the opera of "CavalUrla Rusttcana" Is surely a sign ot the inherent greatness of both opera and eomposar. The American press poured forth columns of stuff about the opening night of "Iris" in Jar-off Italy, and yet when Moscagal comes here, he is searched tor faults rather than virtues. His orchestra is pulled to pieces and torn to shreds et the very first per formance, and "Little Italy" is sneered at It was mad taste, surely. The Italians gave ' Mascagnl a reception. Did the musicians honor blm equally? KubeHk comes hers and la worshipped. But whst ot Mascagnl a great creator, a won derful conductor, a man whose music has thrilled the musical world, one of Art's most favored and choicest sons? Musi cians all over the country should hasten to place their laurels at his feet, but taktoad I read criticisms and attacks from tbj mu sical critics of the dally press which is still worse. Now, if these critics were jonslsteni, 'twere well! But many of them will cover other things fr Inferior, wlta a mantle ot charity, When there Is no reasonable ex cuse for such mantle. It Is refreshing, however, to read this from the Musical Courier of recent date. After a long and exhausted (but by no means exhauating) article speaking of the music of "Iris," the critic, gives us this: "We have the temperament, we have the spirit, wo hsve the tslent for 'theater' writing; in short, we feel the sincere puUe of a rational Maacagnl In eviry mesaure. 'Iris' is a work of genius, it is oot a huge music drama or exhausting tons poem, but Is music nevertheless, and that of a grail fylngly refreshing nature! "The parts were all admirably taken and Masrsgnl's conducting was electrifying. It is to be hoped that 'Ratcliff will be given upon Maacagnl's return, but anyway, bored New Tork can be grateful to this young maestro for giving us something new, in teresting and l geenral musical iBtvreaC He has been a balm for past operatic Ills thrust into our ears, and we bid them God speed through our) country. Bravassimo, Maestro Mascagnl!" Can Omsha and neighboring towns sup port for a matinee and evening the Mas cagnl forces? It so ws will have "Csval lerla Rustlcaoa" la the afternoon ana "Iris'' st night. If not, we will not hear "Iris," as the "Cavallerla" Is sure of big business snd If the company makes only one appear ance. It will be at night, In that ork. It Is to be hoped that those who went to hear "Iris" will notify the theator man agement without delay. Every musician should work up an Inter est In this. Let us not permit such an opportunity to pass. Mascagnl conducting his own grst op era "Irla!" Think of It! At Omaha, this month. As there seems to be a good deal of mis understanding about the story of the opsis, I sppend It herewith, as it is pobllsncd In a recent Issue of the Concert Gotr. 'Iris" Is an Oriental story. The plot Is Japanese. Its philosophy differs entirely from all western systems. In it tne sun talks and is answered, as a person having consciousness and all things are supposed to nave knowledge. The story opens with a scene In the little garden of Iris, the only child of an old blind man, Cleco. She is playing with her doll baby and talking to the sun, and the young man, Osaka, con trives with Kyoto, a taklamatt, or keeper of a house In the Yoshlwara, a plan to capture Iris and to keep her In the Yoshi- wara. To carry out their plan they get rome, dolls and arrange a puppet show. witn tne nired assistance or some geisnus, musicians and tramps. Thev succeed In Interesting Iris, whose girlish curiosity draws her nearer and nearer to the puppets. one is at lengin quietly capiurea ana car ried off, after Kyoto has left a small sum of money to mnk the selsure legal. Know ing nothing or the capture, Cleco Is led to believe that she has gone to the Yoshl wara of her own accord. He curses her and gets two peddlers to take him there. in act ii iris wanes up in a palace in tne Yoshlwara and. knowing: nothlna of the place, believes herself dead and In paradise. Here she Is met by Osaka, whose voice had charmed her in the puppet show. She is in clined to nK mm, cut sne is so young ana Innocent that she knows nothing whatever ebout love, and only answers his appeals by asking to go home to her little cottage, her father and her garden of flowers. Dis- Kiisiea wnn ner, usaxt gives ner up. Ana Kyoto then resolves to make his money by exhibiting her beauty to the crowds In the Yoshlwara. Osaka again falls desperately In love with Iris, as he looks on ner and tries to buy her from Kyoto. While thus on exhibition she Is gladdened by the sound of her father's voice, not knowing that ho nas come to curse her. He Is led to the show window, where he gathers handfuls of mua and tnrows it upon ner, cursing ner. Crazed by the curses, she Jumps from the window into a deep sewer nasin, provided for frightening girls Into submission. In the third act rag pickers are searching the river Into which the sewers empty. They discover the gaudy dress and with It the body of Iris. The Rlrl revives and the tren run away. Half living, half dead, she reflects on herself, the world and fate. Bhe hears the voices of the "egoisms" of Osaka, C'.eco and Kyoto. Hellevlng herself about to live again, she dies handily as the sun Liises. The sun again speaks to her, reas sures ner ana nnauy covers ner oouy witn flowers. The . Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, through the Board of Governors, have decided to In clude a "May festival" of music In next year's work. We musicians, all of us, heart ily thank the Knights for their action. Mr. Robert Cuscaden, who has recently returned from Europe, will give a recital of violin music at Kountze Memorial church on Wednesday evening, November 12th. " ' He will be assisted by Mr. Joseph Gaam, at the piano. Mr. Cuscaden will play a sonata (new) by Sjogren, the four movements being "Allegro moderate" "Allegretto Seheriando," "An dante sempllce," and "Con fuoco." He will also play Wlenlawskl's "Romance, '' the "Perpetual Motion" ot Rles, Vieuxtemps Concerto in D minor, and a "Czardas" scene "Hejre Rati," by Hubay, the Hun garian. ' , , Mr. J. H. Simms, organist and choirmas ter of all Saints church, will present, at -this evening's service, a very interesting program of Sir-John Stainer's music. Sir Job was on of the foremost of the Eng JUh, organists, and hjs music Is ot the pur est ecclesiastical style, with" enough dash of modern ideas J it i Imhus If wtth that quality which attracts both singers and auditors. He was born in 1840, became or ganist of the famous St. Paul's Cathedral, London, in 1872. and had titles upon titles. He was professor of music to historic old Oxford university and he has contributed quantities of musical writings, treatises, cantatas, etc., to the world's musical liter ature. He died In the year 1901, full of years and of honor. The program tonight will consist of a "Magnificat" and "Nunc Dimlttis". in A, the anthems "Leave Us Not" and "Oh, Zlon, That Brlngest Good Tidings;" a male chorus, "In the Death of a Man" and the fine "Awake" chorus from "Daughter of Jalrus," and an "Adagio" in E flat and "Jubilant March" for the organ. Such programs are an education. THOMAS J. KELLY. AMUSEMENTS. RfiVH'G Woodward & UU 1 L p . . Burgess, ngra, Important Engagement 160 PEOPLE CONDUCTING HIS OWN OPERAS. ' Thursday Evo.
