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

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."

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

fact, very fond of committing the lines of
a new rart to memory wrm no i in

these studious drives last September they
found a rain was overtaking them and they

friends of the host had also sought shelter
there. The rtWn increased Instead of abat

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

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

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

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

her sister, Luciano.
Other well known members of the coat

Eight varied acts, embracing two ot the
most prominent head-liners In vaudeville

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

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.

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.

draws her nearer and nearer to the puppets.

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

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

Kyoto then resolves to make his money by

of her father's voice, not knowing that ho

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

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.
