A sad but true story of the effects of
that malady which Is so prevalent
whose victim was said to be "stage struck"
wis related In the local press last week,
when a bright and promising young
oman, hypnotized by the glamor of the
tage (from the audience side of the foot
lights) left a happy home, joined s trav-
Ung company and now Ood pity her!
he picture of a newly made grave Is the
Illustration of the last chapter.
Musical
Alas! how many youug women have pur
sued, are pursuing and will pursue that
absurd and Impossible will o' the wisp of
gpttlng something for nothing.
It Is the same old worn story. The mis
take Is not the desire to "go on the stage,"
but it is the reckless thought that the
stage life Is easy, Is rapturous. Is the one
delight In life and that "the life" Is ao
Ideal one, all flowers, all footlights and
attentions and success.
Be not deceived, my stage-struck sister;
It Is the hardest kind of work to be a
successful player on the theatrical boards.
You have talent T Yes. Do you know
you have? Have you ever approached an
honest manager and asked him If he con
sldered you a promising proposition, to
the extent that In say one year's time
of hard work he would give you an en
gagement?
Have you not hosts of friends who tell
you that you are simply a wonder and
that all you need Is an opportunity, that
you are born to act, that you are a natural
genius, that you need little "coaching" It
any, and predict rosy triumphs for you?
But have you one real friend who takes
you to one sldo and whispers in your ear
that "the stage" Is not "the parlor at
home," that the "audience" Is not made
up of "your relatives" and that the
critics" are under no obligations, social
or otherwise, to "your family?"
Tell me have you a friend like this? If
so, heed him or her. He Is more Inter
ested In you, yourself, than are the
others.
Ask the great singers, the great actors.
Yes, ask the good actors who are not
really great and the good actresses who
are not Nordlcas or Sembrlchs or Bern
hardt, or Duses, but who are neverthe
less Identified with the high-class produc
tions. I will go further. Ask any of the
popular amusement makers who have suc
ceeded In the business. Ask them, one and
all. If the stage is an easy life.
Ask them It there Is a premium on the
unequipped but pretty girl, on the untutored
but handsome fellow.
If you would be successful on the stage
and surely you would not entertain an
opposite thought ask those who have made
lasting successes in their various lines
what you will have to do In order to
reach the point to which they have at
tained.
Do not ask the spoiled success of this
season or of last season. ' Take those who
have weathered the storm of at least ten
years.
Where are the comic opera "prima don
is," so called, of five years ago, and
where will those of today be in Ave years
from now?
The life of the stage does not always
mean a bunch of "American Beauties", at
$15 the dozen, an adoring "dudelet," a not
bird and a cold bottle.
There Is a serious side and It Is a cold
side! Look for It, too, when you con
sider the footlights.
There are heartaches on the other side
of the footlights which you don't dream of,
because they are concealed by a smiling
face. The audience does not come to see
frowns, my dear; It has paid for smiles
and If It does not get them It will not
like It,
Let not this be construed Into a Jeremiad
against the stage. Far from It. This Is
an appeal to those who think they have
something which, undeveloped, will never
theless bring success. It Is sn appeal to
the ambitious hut misguided girl who
thinks that her future would be blissful
forever on the golden blaze of a glory be
hind the footlights.
Meanwhile let us ponder on the Joys of
one-night stands!
In my experience as a musical crltto I
tiava interviewed DerhaDs a few of those
who have made successes and the Interview
has never been obtained In a grill room or
a club, hut In odd moments of an artist s
time when he or she could perchance work
on a "makeup" or Indulge In a few rem-
inisenncea in that sacred "entr acte penoa.
when only a newspaper man is admitted
nH th not because of his DOSSibllltleZ
of future space work, hut because of a
sympathetic Interest In the artist's actual
work.
I would that every stage-struck girl, mat
Ins Mnlator and would-be "actorlne"
could see five real rehearsals. Things
might then be different.
The legitimate stage, whether It be con
sidered lyrically ,or dramatically. Is an
arena wherein the laborer must labor If he
would win. There Is no shirking or Ignor
ing the fact.
It is a powerful example of the gospel of
hard, hard work.
And woe be to the man, or the woman
who thinks to revolutionize the stage
without years of Incessant, persevering.
cold-blooded study, pains and self-denials.
You cannot portray a real self if the lit
tle "selt-ltles" are predominant. The stage
is no respecter of persons. If you don't
believe this, ask the man at the box office.
The "Visitors' night" last Monday at the
rehearsal of the May Festival association
was such a success that in future the ad
mission will be by ticket only. More vis
itors attended last Monday night than
could be accommodated with seats and the
management has been obliged to "call
halt." Tickets to a limited number can be
secured from members of the association
(who rehearse regularly) for the first re
hearsal in January, and after that time a
small admission tee will be charged.
Out-of-town visitors (of whom there were
several last week) and professional tnu
siclans will be admitted at any time upon
application (o the secretary, Mr. Alfred
Marscbner. "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast"
will be temporarily shelved early in Janu
ary and the "Swan and Skylark," by Oor
tng-Tbomas, will be taken up. Among the
visitors last week was Superintendent Cllf
ford of Council Bluffs schools, who ex
pressed himself as highly pleased with the
unusual choral resources. It has been sug
gested that one rehearsal night be open to
the Omaha school teachers and probably
such an arrangement can be made ere long
season. Helens Noldl has been heard here
before and has Justified her press comments.
Of Mr. Archllle Albertl. I have spoken
oft In this column, and his name alone
Is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of
the production. Albertl la an artist In
every point, and to hear him sing (even
in concert) Is an inspiration. The other
members of the company are said to be
commensurately strong.
Welcome! grand opera even If It Is In
English. Let us hope the translations will
be as good as they can be. I am inclined
to believe they will.
But that Is not all. Note the appearance
of Mary Munchoff at Boyd's theater on
December 23.
Yes, I know, it Is just before Christmas,
but what a charming Christmas present
this 1st To hear Munchoff, who has been
praised at home and abroad, who sings
beautifully, I am told, and who, after all
ber European successes, comes back to us,
without Mile, or Frauleln or such, but
just simple Mary Munchoff.
Without being In the leaBt eacrellgious,
let me exclaim, "Hall, Mary." and let us
all go and hear her of whom all Omaha
should be proud.
Mr. Slmms will present a special mu
sical program tonight at All Saints' church,
beginning at 7:30, when the "Magnificat"
and "Nunc Dimlttls" of Wood will be sung,
also three anthems by Harry Rowe Shelley.
Mr. Slmms will play two Interesting organ
numbers from Qullmant and Salome.
The appearance in Omaha of Arthur
Hochman, the wonderful young pianist, to
whom I alluded last week In this column,
Is an assured fact. So Mr. Stephens in
forms me.
A young musical friend of mine who
heard him in Cincinnati, writes me the
following interesting words concerning him.
As the young man to whom I allude is in
no way interested in the local presentation
of the artist, I take the liberty of repro
ducing his comment. He says:
'One thing sure, Hochman has more than
made good everywhere. Critics disagree
about him but in a lively way and he
has every one 'talking,' but privately
and honestly I will say that tha fellow Is
honest' and he Is not 'posing. He can
play Bethoven, Schubert, Schumann, for
you, all night. To properly show his scope
he should play at least four entire recitals.
But you will say 'who wants to hear four
programs?' and of course, I must submit.
However, his quality of tone Is something
one seldom hears, and he docs not seem
to 'try.' for it that is the beauty! Of
course, on one hearing, it is hard to judge
him, but I do so wish that you could hear
htm. I know he would delight you beyond
measure. I have heard the great ones and
I want you to hear this Hochman. If vou
do not agree with me you know!"
And we are to have a short season of
grand opera in Omaha. Thursday and Fri
day nights of this week ws will hear the
familiar and always acceptable stra'.ns of
Gounod's "Faust" and Bizet's "Carmen.'
The company presenting these operas li
In itself, not so very well known locally.
and yet there are a few names which lend
lustre to the occasion and which will
lure the musical people forth, beyond a
doubt.
The company Is named the Gordon-
Shay Grand Opera company. They will
sing in English. .
Miss Rose Cecilia Shay is not by any
means unknown in operatic circles snd
she Is the prima donna proper of the local
This flattering and absolutely sincere
tribute comes from a true and tried friend
of the best in music and therefore I offer
It to the readers of this column without nnv
hesitation whatever.
The following letter has been sent to me,
and I answer it, as follows:
"To settle a dispute, will you kindly
answer the following in Sunday's paper:
What determines an opera 'grand opera'
the quality of music, the number taking
part in Its production, or both of these
features combined? Can grand opera bo
sung in Omaha theaters? Has grand opera
ever been sung In Omaha theaters? If so,
when and by whom? If not, why? Yours
truly, e. W. N."
As to the first question, I would refer you
to The Sunday Bee of November 23, wherein
the question of grand opera is somewhat
exhaustively dealt with. The number of
participants does not constitute grand opera
witness the hundreds of performers .in
the "Ben-Hur" or "Beauty and the Beast"
productions in the metropolitan centers.
Grand opera can be, and has been sung in
Omaha theaters, by the Tavary Opera com
pany, the Max Maretzek forces, the German
operatic forces under Damroscb, at the
Boyd, and the Damrosch-Ellis productions,
with Zella De Lussan as the star, also at
the Boyd; Paul and her company at the
Coliseum; Clementine De Vere and her
company in the standard grand operas at
the Crelghton (In Its earlier days), and
Melbar with her company, and Sembrlch with
hers, and heaven knows what else before
the present scribe was living In Omaha
that is, previous to 1S90. And now, bow
does the best stand, and where does the
musical critic of The Bee come In?

Phil Kearney post. Woman's Relief corps,
and the Grand Army of the Republic will

dist church, South Omaha, Thursday at t

be followed by a flag drill, given by twelve
school children. The patriotic music will be

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Tsefnl It la la
Preserving; Health and Beaaty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realise its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and impuri
ties always present In the stomach and In
testines and carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing and drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further ants as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the po'aon
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal aad
the most for the money is Stuart's Ab
sorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or,
rather. In the form of large, pleasant tast
ing lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It
is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In the stomach sad bow
els, and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also be
lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by the
dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and although la
some sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get more and better ebsreoal In
8tuart's Absorbent Lozenges taaa la say el
the ether charcoal tablet. "

Ante Room Echoes
A short time ago an event of more than
passing interest took place In Masonic cir
cles, when a conclave of the Ecclesiastical
and Military Order of the Red Croes of
Constantino was instituted In this cltv.
This order is one of the highest and most
ancient in the Masonlo system, having
its origin In the year 812, when the Em
peror Constantino, to commemorate the
vision which appeared to him In the
Heaven before the battle of Saxa Rubra and
as a tribute to the Divine messensef who
proclaimed his coming victory, founded this
illustrious order, after his triumphant re
turn to Rome.
The utmost care and conservation has
always been observed In the tormina of
nev conclaves of this order and In the
selection of Its members, no attempt being
made to popularize the degrees. Its an
cient customs and ceremonies have been
preserved intact since Its first formation
and are today presented with the same
elaborate detail which characterized its
presentation In olden times. Through the
favor of the Imperial council for the west
ern Masonle jurisdiction, a number of
well known Masons of this city were in
vited to form the first conclave of the
order In Nebraska. A dispensation was
in due time Issued by Sir William Frederick
Kuhn, grand sovereign of the order, to
about twenty Masons to form and ODen
a conclave of the Red Cross of Constan
tino, under the name of Coeur de Leon
Conclave M. D.
Sir Kuhn, who la one of the prominent
Masons of Missouri, being at the present
time deputy grand master of the state, came
here from Kansas City and personally in
stituted the new conclave. After the in
itiatory ceremonies, a dinner in honor of
the grand sovereign was given at the Mil
lard hotel. Covers were laid for thlrtv
knights and ladies. While no set toasts bad
been prepared, an excellent address was
delivered by Sir Knight Kuhn, and short
addresses by several of the members. A
feature of the dinner was a menu card of
beautiful design. Dr. Kuhn was enthusi
astic over the reception accorded him in
this city and bespoks a bright future for
the new conclave.
At Geneva the following officers were
elected by the subordinate lodge of Odd
Fellows: Noble grand, B. B. Ogg; vice
