ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS
The hist ink held )ut Ilttla for the .
people who 0 to tb theaters. Mr. James
O'Neill's abort engagement wan a aucccia In i
Trry particular, and Mr. Francla Wilaon i
closed tbe week br. delighting crowded ,
bous with bli steeliest mualcal comedy. I
Both of the gentlemen hare won tha mark j
of "sterling" In tbalr respective lines, and ,
their appearaoca la always a guarantor ot
a worth jr entertainment. Neither of them
la overly well pirated with bit present part,
nd each looka forward with some antlrl.
patlon to a change. Out Of their respectlvs
parta they have derived each the tame con
solation, that It baa enabled them to get
away from what they were too Intimately
taoclated with, tba penalty of long-time
service In a tingle role. Mr. Wlleon had
become ao Intimately Identified with "Er
mlnle" that It almoet appeared that he
could do nothing elae. But In Sammy Olgg
ha has found bta releaae from Caddy, and
hat given now creation tbat abowa him
cot to be a one-part comedian. Equally,
Mr. O'Neill has In Pete Qullltam aecured
mancipation from Edmond Dantee, and
managed to convince even tha most obdu
rata that he could do "eomethlng alee."
But Mr. O'Neill doea not And tha part to
hit liking, and I looking forward to next
aeaaon with tome anticipation, at be then
xpecta to find hlmaelf equipped with a play
mora to bla liking. Not tbat "The Manx
man" baa been a failure In any reapect,
for It hasn't; It hat brought to Mr. O'Neill
much credit tor the artlatlo finish of bla
performance, and to hit managera a most
generoua return In profits; but the atmos
phere of the play la not exactly congenial
to one of Mr. O'Neill's buoyant tempera
ment. Ha doesn't hanker especially for the
Besbpota of tba land of Monte Crlato, but
be would be much happier to escape from
tha perpetual abnegation to wblch he finds
himself foredoomed aa Peter Quinism. He
could not give a djfinlta forecaat of bit
plana when in Omaha, but be la looking
forward with hope to a part tbat will be
more to hla taate. Mr. Wilson's plana are
equally nebuloua, but he la certain, now
that be haa made the atart, to make a line
of creations. His ability haa at laat over
topped the confines of Caddy, and hla awak
ened ambition la certain to lead him Into
new fields of conquest.
i
At tha vaudeville house tha patrona were
treated to aomethlng In tha nature of a
novelty during tba greater part of the
week. Mlta Florence Bindley, the "girl
with the diamond dress," waa Buffering
from a aevera cold when aha reached
Omaha, which by Monday developed into
bad attack of tonstlltls. Ebe was unable
to appear after the Monday evening per
formance, and Manager Relter waa unable
to aecure'a auitable act to fill the big gap
In the bill, ao be went on hlmaelf for a
monologue turn. Incidentally, be made a
kit and the patrona of the Crelghton-Or-pheum
wouldn't care much If he were on
the bill regularly. Mtaa Bindley la con
valescing and goes from Omaha to Kansaa
City, where she opena a week today.
Tha wanltg aeaaon In Omaha doesn't pro
pose to flicker out, not by a jugful. It will
' close is it did last year, with a blaze of
glory. Tha preaent week offera at least
one star of first magnitude, Mr. William H.
Crane, who cornea In bta latest success,
"David Harum." Four other atara are
scheduled for tha remainder of the month.
Tim Murphy is to be here on Wednesday
and Thursday, April 22 and 23, In a new
comedy. Mary Mannerlng In "The Stub
bornesa of Geraldlne, a Clyde Fitch play,
and tba only one of bla output for, the pres
ent aeaaon that hat been a real succeaa, on
Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25. Mr.
Richard Mansfield comes next in hla great
revival of "Julius Caesar," In which be
playa tha part of Brutus, his Omaha date
being April 28 and 29. After Mr. Mansfield
come Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Goodwin In "The
Altar of Friendship," a great success, and
they will clcte tba regular aeason. Much
Interest attaches to tba engagement of the
Ooodwlns, for this will be their last ap
pearance here aa co-stars. Each will be at
the head of a company next aeaaon. After
the Goodwin engagement the Boyd will be
turned over to .the Dick Ferrta summer
stock company, which will play ita uaual
season, with a break In June when Miss
Amelia Bingham and her company will ap
poar at tha theater in "The Climbers."
This will be Miss Blngham'a first visit to
Omaha, and will also be one of her beat
playa.
In connection with Mr. Mansfield's en.
gagementa, aa well aa apropoa of remarks
In thla column last week. It la of lntereat
to note tha fact that tha production In
which ha haa taken part alnca hla "Parisian
Romance" success, and moat of wblch he
haa engineered himself, declare a versa
tlllty, an adherence to the higher standards
of art, and a perseverance in developing a
taste only for that which la worthy in dra
matic offerlnga tbat baa not been eqelled

Following are Robert 0. Ingersoll's fa
mous lines on "The Children of the Stage."
wblch be del'vered at a benefit in New York
March 23. 1899:
These children of the stage with fancy'a
wand rebuild the past. '1 he dead are
brought to lire and made to act again the
parte they played. The hearts and Hps
that long ago were dust are made to beat
and epeak again. The dead kings are
crowned once more, and from the shad
owa of the past emerge the queens, Jeweied
and sceptered aa of yore. Lovers leave their
graves and breathe again their burning
vowa, and again the white breasts rise and
full in passion a storm. The laughter that
died away beneath the touch of death is
tieara again, and llpa that fell to aahes
long ago are curved once more with mirth.
Again the hero bares his breast to death:
again the patriot (alls, and again the scaf-
loia. stainea witti nole blood, becomes
shrine.
The cltlzene of the real world gain Joy
ana comion rrorn tne stage. -ine oroaer,
yer baffled by the intelligence or a Jury or
the stupidity of a Judge, the doctor who
lost his patience because he lost his pa
tients, the merchant in the dark days of
depression, and all the children of mis
fortune, the victims of hope deferred, .for
get their trouble for a little while when
looking on the mimic world. When the shaft
of wit files like the arrow of Ulysses
through all the rings and strikes the cen
ter, when words of wisdom mingle with
the clown's conceit, when roily laughing
shows her pearls and mirth holds carnival,
when the villain falls and the right tri
umphs, the trluls and the griefa of Ufa
iur inn moment iaae away.
And ao the maiden Inna-lna? ha loved
the young man waiting tor the "Yea" de
ferred, the unloved wile, hear the old, old
story toid again and again within their
nearta is the ecstasy or requited love.
The stage brlnss solace to the wounded
peace to the' troubled, and, with the
wlsard'a wand touchea the tears of grief,
and thev are charmed to smiles of iov.
The stage has ever been the altar, the
puipit, the qthiral or the heart. There
the enslaved and the oppressed, the erring,
fallen, even the outcast, find svmDathv. and
pity gives them all her tears and there. In
aptte of wealth and power, in spite of caste
and cruel pride, true lova has ever trl-
umpnea over all.
The stage has taught the noble t lesson.
the highest truth, and that la this: It Is
Better to deserve without receiving than
to receive without deserving. Aa a matter
or iact, it ta Better to he tne victim or
villainy than to be a villain. Better to be
atolen from than to be a thief, and In the
Inst analysis the oppressed, the slave. Is
less unfortunate than the oppressor, the
master.
The children of the stage, these citizens
or tne mimic worm, are not tne grasping,
snrewa and prurient people or tne mart
they are Improvident enough to enjoy the
present and credulous enonah to believe
the promises of the universal liar known
aa Hope. Their hearts and hands are open.

Coming- Events.
"York State Folks," a paatoral drama,
aald to be out of tha conventional rut, will
be the attraction at tba Boyd tbla after
noon and tonight. It la claimed for the
play that It la not on tha Reub order and
that it doea not rely on the burlesquing
of country types of characters to make it
go. There are no mortgaged homes,
wronged heroines or villains In it. It tells
a story of a fight between two leading
cltliena of a small hamlet in New York.
One of the men la an organ builder, alwaya
bubbling over with good humor a veritable
altruist whom everyone in tha village lovea
and respects. Tha other old man is just
the reverse. He and tha organ builder
were brought together yeara before tha
story opena by reaaon of tha latter'a be
trotbal to bla sister and who died on tha
eve of 'her wedding day. The play opena
with a rupture between due two old friends
because of tha organ builder's activity In
getting a railroad to build into tha aleepy
old town. Hla friend not only cuta hla
friendship, but carries tba feud Into family
relatione. With the close of the last .act,
however, everything ends happily and the
two are reunited. Roy L Roycs, who on
Sol Smith Russell's death succeeded ta bis
roles, enacta the part of the organ builder,
and James Lockoge, a brother to Wilson
Lookoge, that of the friend. The play la
handsomely staged and tbe supporting
company Is said to be excellent. A feature
of the performance la tha singing of a
vested choir of twelve boys.
W. H. Crana will bs seen at the Boyd

acted during his long career. It is said
that Mr. Crana has made of David Harurn
a character aa distinct aa Joahua Whit
comb and othera which last by reason or
their naturalness. In making tha dramatlo
story tha dramatist took a few liberties
with the original story, sddlng much to
Its dramatlo effectiveness. This will be
Mr. Crane's first visit to Omaha In seven
yeara. The opening acene of the play is
an exterior. On one aide la Aunt Polly1
bouse, with Its trellis-covered veranda and
old-fashioned garden. Oa the other la
Davld'a bank and in tha background la tb
big barn. In thla act Harum sells the
balky horse to Deacon Perkins, tba borse
tbat "would stand wttbout hltchln'." Tha
aecond act ahowa Harum In the office back
of the counting room of tbe bank, and tba
third act la laid In tba sitting room of
Aunt Polly's house. The kindly side of
Harum'a character la ahown In tbla act and

Sbertdan Tupper and George Devore.
"Zig Zag Alley" la the peculiar title of
a peculiar farce comedy to be aeen at the
Boyd Tburaday and Friday nights. Tbl
piers Is called a 'trick, pantomime farce
comedy, becauae It la a mixture of trie
work with scenery and mechanical effect
pantomime and comedy of tha rougher sort

and pantomlmlata, head the company glvln

acta, the first being a reproduction of Ztg

Melodrama tbat is melodrama will ba
seen In "Tba Younger Brothers" at -tba
Boyd Saturday matinee and night. Tha
uthora of tbe play claim they will show

deBperadoea were done. A lynching, an at
tempt to bold np a train, a desperate knife
uel on tha edge of a cliff and tbe blowing
up of a train by dynamite ara soma of the
thrillers promised. Every word uttered la
punctuated by a revolver shot. If an actor
forgets hla lines be pulls out a revolver
and keepa shooting until ha recalls them.
There will be larger number of new
comers on tba Orpbeum bill today and for
the ensuing week than old favorites. Tha
minority will be known and tried headline
features of yeara standing and tha diver
gent character of the acta offera variety

to tba barm dona to slngera and their sen
sltlve throats by 'the rehearaals wblcb ara
held In abominably bkd air.' And, to take
ona more instancs la place at a thousand.
Hana von Bulow ones explained his failure
to play a Beethoven Sonata eatlsfactorlly
as being due to the fact that be was not a
palm tree. Only a palm tree could, he de
clared, breathe in an atmosphere like that
of tbe Berlin Slng-ecademle when it Is
crowded. It waa ao hot that drops of
perspiration blinded him, tbe keys were
wet and slippery, and the lack of oione
cam near making him faint away."
I have noticed the aame condltlona ex
isting locally. There bavs been times when,
in the local theaters, tbs beat was un
endurable and tba teal enjoyment of tbe
performance marred. So there la an In
teresting' thought herein contained. Per
haps the condition of chilliness and fri
gidity which we have often ascribed to
Omaha audlencea haa been the result of'
overheat Instead ot evarcool la tha "over
aoul."
Another writer has said: "If a plcturs
of this air could be thrown on a curtain
the audience would stampede tor; tba doors
as if some one had raised tbs cry of Brs.
As it is, tboussnds wbo would shudder
at the thought of bathing in a' mud-pud
dle, bathe their aensltlve ' lunga every
evening In the filthy atmosphere of our
amusement halla."
But then, again, why go away tor mud
baths when you can bava a bath of real
mud and enjoy music at tbe same tlmsT '
In fact, almost all theaters, music-halls
and churches, when crowded, are over
heated and badly ventilated. And tbe same
thing is always noticed with regard to our
buildings by strangers visiting In . this
country. ' .
The fourth of tbs Lenten muslcales was
given last Saturday at tbe Llnlnger Art
Gallery and an Interesting program was
presented by Mrs. Blair, a prominent so
ciety woman of St. Louis, assisted by
eight women's voices of local prominence,
Mr. Cuscaden, violinist, Madame Moths
Borglum and Miss Scbeets, accompanists.
Mra. Blair gave a number of aongs, not
many of which wsre hitherto unknown
but all of which were Interesting. Her in
terpretation and general expression ot tbe
songs waa most agreeable. Mr. Cuscaden
played beautifully. Madams Motbe-Borglum
giving blm a fine support.
The last Lenten musicals waa Monday
night. Tbe May Festival choir made lta
debut, and whlls It was handicapped by
being placed at a great distance from tbe
piano, and the women at aoroe distance
from the men, the applause received, aspe
daily at the close of the laat number, Indl
cated most clearly that tbe choral work
waa a "hit." Mlas Jenny Osborne was the
soprano, and Holmea Cowpsr tha tenor, as
stating. Both of these people came from
Chicago to make tbla appearance. Mlsa Os
borne waa In superb voice, and she sang
with all tha Interesting detail of the true
artiat. Her work is more matured than
when she waa beard here last, In 189, and
ber voice baa gained, if anything. In bril
liancy and richness, Mr. Cowper haa an
ideal, tenor voice, and be uaea It like ona
who knows Just what ha Is going to do with
every tons bs makes. , Then he Is) growing
mors spontaneous In his work, and that is
always a sign ot progress in the higher
elements ot the art. Mrs. Crofoot played
some very attractive accompaniments.
