12 TITE OMAIIA DAILY TIKE: SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 100.1. ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES r Last week tho Ferri Summer RtnoR com pany had Its own way, for tho night war too cool to admit of much Measure at the out door resorts. By tha way, the present season of the Ferris company la notable In a rood many ways. Aa The Bee hns hitherto net forth, the rompany Is far better In, every way than any that has been here In stock alnce the well remembered Wood ward organisation, and is being kept up to concert pitch by tha management. One at leaet of Its weak points na" been made Stronger, by the employment of a new man for the "heavlea," and this will br noticed this evening. Another thing notice able Is the character of the attendance. For several wwka the number of regular season patrons who have been attracted by the stock performance has been Increas ing, until now one sees nightly faces usually seen only during the winter at the theater. The clans of plays presented so far has been well within tho scope of ths company's powers, snd as a whole ths season so far has been a genuine success. Warmer weather Impends, and ths out door attractions are sure to have their Innings; this will Interfere to some extent with the Ferrla patronage, but It will be only turn about. All the parks are well fitted for taking care of attendance much larger than any yet experienced, and when ths warm wave does strike it will see a rush for the vaudeville under the trees. Why will actors, when dealing with a piece translated from some foreign lan guage, or one In which names of foreign places are given, persist In singling out some one word to be given Its foreign pro nunciation, while all the rest are "done Into English" of the most ordinary type? This does pot refer to the .names of In dividual, for it Is quits right that they be given the orthoeplcal value of their proper language, but to pick out some one ether word which has a good English equivalent and persist In rendering It alone In French or German or whatever Its mother tongue may b Is certainly an of fense against good tsate and almost amounts to a reflection on the Intelligence of the audience. One Instance of this sort Is recalled. An actor who la of consider able note was four years ago playing "Cyrano de Bergerac" In a production of considerable pretensions. U gave the character with much intelligent feeling, and really scored a lilt In It. But he marred the excellence of his performance by a single fault, and refused to correct It when his attention was called to It. He poke all the poetry of the beautiful Ros tand piece with force and effect, and In good clear English except one word. In re citing the verse describing the company of Carbon del Castel-Jaloux he couldn't apparently say Qaseony. Every stansa he wound up with the broad statement, "We are the cadets of Gass-kon-n-yea-a-a." The effect this produced on an auditor sensitive to consistency and good form is easily Im agined. A more modern Instance of this sort of misbehavior on part of the actor was afforded at the Boyd during the last week. Every other word save the names of persons was given Its due English form but Marseilles. This was persistently called "Marslles," why the Lord only knows. It Isn't good French, and It surely Isn't English at all. These are little things, but It Is on the little things, after all, that a good production depends. Stage man agers should watch these faults as olosely as they do others, and should Insist that . an English-speaking audience be not of fended by such palpable mispronunciation. Tt has been suggested by The Bee be fore that dramatisation of novels Is a ticklish -business and should enly be under taken by a master. ' One .'reason for this Is that novelists are, often Inclined to be Inconsistent In their handling of heroines and -heroes, but have opportunity to ex plain In a measure some of their anach ronisms and like slips of pen. But when writer undertakes to boll down a novel, and especially a long one, he Is quite apt to find In tho end that he has only em phasized the author's mistakes without a possibility of clearing up any of them. Take the case of Edmond Dantea for ex ample. Dumas pore conducted him through two fat volumes before he succeeded In ultimately disposing, of . .him, and during that long list of adventures he managed to so interest the reader In what was going on that no particular thought was given to the actual man himself. Imme diately the novel was dramatised and "Monte Crlsto" became a stage fixture, the charming Indifference' of Dumas to detail became badly apparent. When "Edmond Dantes was arrested on his arrival at ths port of Marseilles he was a French sailor; he had been before the mast and had risen to the position of mate on the "Baron." For eighteen years he was a prisoner in an underground cell In the Chateau d'lf, from which ho escaped In a way. only possible In a novel. Two years later, he reappears In Paris, a much traveled gentleman, with a reputation established Vivat least three continents, and more than that, with the polish and address that other French gen tlemen spend their lifetime in acquiring. One doea not think of this whetv reading the book, but on seeing the play one is Irresistibly Impelled to Inquire how It would be possible for the rough sailor to become so familiar with the fine, manners and speech of the best circles of educated Parisian society. Did he study etiquette during his long life In a dark dungeon, or did he acquire his splendid address among the Turks and his elegant carriage while laying tigers In Algiers? This, too. Is a little thing, but tt Is trus of a number of plays that have been put before the people with much success. One Is almost Inclined to despair of the theater aa an educational agency whan these facts are taken Into consideration. An English court has also come to the rescue of the critic, and decides that a theatrical criticism which presents the reasonable opinions of the writer, although some of them may be harsh and none of them favorable, la not Jit!. A company was severely slated by one of the provin cial papers, and the manager brought suit, as did some of the members of the com pany. In England the reoognlzcd liberty of the press dnea not begin to cover the cope It does In America, yet the court lull BWi a mother should be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and ' danger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery. Mother' Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great pain and danger cf maternity ; this hour which U dreaded as woman's severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are overcome, the system is made ready for the coming event, and the serious accidents so common to the critical hour are obvitted by the use of Mother's Friend. 'It is worth its weight in gold," says many who have used it. $i.oo per bottle at drug stores, liook containing valuable information of interest to all women, will iCfTXH !f1k be sent to any address free upon application to lO !5 isQa BIlADnaO REGULATOR OO., held that the writer -and publisher were clearly within tha limits of their rights. This Judgment will be recognised as rea sonable, for If a critic cannot have se curity for the expression of opinion, and must be under the apparent duress of a suit for libel if his expressions do not suit the persons under consideration, then his opinions become worthless. In this con nection It s worth while to note that actors aa a rule do not take kindly to criticism. Bo long as they are praised they can stand It all right, but let a writer undertake tp point out any of their faults, and the trouble begins. This is not true of all, for the really conscientious actor welcomes Intelligent criticism as warmly aa he does praise. Very few of them are entirely satisfied with the way they do their work and are continually looking for opportunities to Improve. Its effect in de tail Is best conveyed to them by the dra matic critic, If he be competent, and on his Judgment they learn to rely. Actors are still human, and do not relish the un mitigated abuse to which they are quite often submitted by writers who like to say "smart" things and who do not consider all the elements of a performance for the- rea son that by so doing their critiques might lose some of their "piquancy." But the honest critic never abuses anyone, and he must feci that he is untrammeled In the exercise of his calling or his work becomes worthless. Coming Events. With an elaborate seenlo production of the great romantic Russian melodrama, "Michael Strogoff," the Ferris Stock com pany will commence Its seventh successful week at the Boyd theater Sunday night. The management promises one of the most magnificent scenic mountings of this play that has ever been seen in Omaha, as Mr. Ferris Is shipping here all the scenery used by his Minneapolis company In this bill. The play Is a strong romantic melodrama, replete with love, villainy and sensation, and every act ends with a climax. A very sensn-tional entrance Is made by Michael Btrogoff In the first act. when he arrives with the Imperial guard, and It la then that he takes the oath "For God, the czar and for my country." In the second act, which takes pluce In a post house on the frontier, Michael Strogoff is Insulted by being struck by a whip In the hands of Ivan OcarefT. The third act, which is in two scenes, shows first the telegraph office on the' battlefield of Koullgrane and the burning city of Koulyran in the distance, and In the second scene the ruins of Koulyran, which has fallen Into the hands of the fierce Tartar and Cossack tribesmen. In the fourth act a startling climax la secured by the timely arrival of Strogoff Just as the American and English correspondents, who furnish the comedy for the play, are about to be put to death under the lash of the knout. As the curtain goes up on the fifth act the banks of the Augora river are shown, and it is here that the arrival on a raft of the two correspondents In the nick of time prevents the killing of Strogoff's mother, who had fallen into the hands of Strogoff's enemies. In the sixth act Michael Strogoff comes out victorious, kills his enemy, Ivan OcarefT, and is reunited with his sweet heart. For the last half of the week the funny farce-comedy, "The Man from Mexico," with Dick Ferris In the leading role, will be the bill, . , . r. . . . . ; k ": Because of the long continued period. tf unseasonable weather the' summer resorts have not been doing the volame of business the month of June usually shows. It would appear' that people are looking forward to the time when they can enjoy outdoor recreation. Judging from the very large number which crowded ' 'Courtland ' Beach and Lake Manawa last Sunday, the only day that afforded sunshine, and warmth this season. It Is probable that from this week on the weather will make a decided change, dropping from Its present frigid state to the extreme opposite. In that event park, man agers will have their hands full handling the crowds. Lake Manawa and Courtland Beach are particularly attractive this sea son. Both have been beautified in every department and much needed attractions have been added. Both lakes are brimful of water, which assures excellent bathing and boating. At both places the fishing Is excellent. Covalt's band of thirty-five pieces furnishes the amusement at Lake Manawa.' It is said to be a better organi zation than tt was last season. Balloon ascenslohs are given every evening, as are the hundreds of other amusement features. At Courtland Beach Prof; Ernest Nordln's orchestra of sixteen pieces is In attendance afternoon and evening. The daring aero naut, Sam Murphy, makes dally balloon as censions and the Frlese brothers, acrobats and barrel Jumpers, are seen on the plat form afternoon and evening. The switch back railway, the only gravity riding de vice In the west, is a very attractive fea ture. ' Gentry Brothers' Famous Trained Animal Shows are all brand new for the season of 1903. The shows are decidedly the best of their kind In the world, and never fail to glvo the greatest satisfaction. The en tertainment given . la strictly moral, and enjoys the distinction of being the only nliow exhibiting under canvas that Inter feres in no way with any particular creed or religion, and Is endorsed by the clergy and educational commissioners wherever it exhibits. The shows will be seen in this city, two performances, afternoon and night, June 18, 10 and 20. Tenta located on Douglas and Eighteenths streets. The assurances of "the weather man" of pleasant weather warrants the manage ment of Krug Park to offer today and this week a program of i are excellence. Two artistically rendered concerts by the pop ular Huster and his conoert band, Inter spersed with solos from qualified instru mentalists; the Geissler-Hershllan, Alpine yodlers; Prof. J. Waldorf Hall, the recorded champion of local aeronauts, haa a sensa tional balloon ascension planned for this evening; the presentation of Munkascy's paintings on "The Book of Revelations" haa met with all of Manager Cole's expecta tions. Each of the fifty-two o paintings furnishes a theme for study. The "War wick Films," to present the animated pic tures of the original production of "The ETery mother feel a great dread of the puin and danger attendant upon the ino6t critical period of her life. Becoming Mother's Atljmtm, Cm. f Passion riny," produced every ten years at Oberammergau, have arrived direct from Berlin -and will have their first presenta tion during the coming week. Numerous picnics are scheduled for the coming week. Over l.tyo amusement devices and pastimes sre offered, which at all times prove Inter esting. The monkeys, with their comical gy rot Ions, produce a deluge of delight for the children Which Is Interesting and new at all times. Special flve-mlnute car serv ice has been assured and try aa one may where can any person choose a more en trancing retreat to while sway an Idle hour than at Omaha's polite resort.

William Faversham and Julie Opp are the proud parents of a boy, and Julie will star next season In the part of a home keeping wle and mother. The announcement that Virginia Earle was under contract with tho Shuhnrts seems to have been premature, since it was later given out that she has not signed for next season. Grace Van Studdlford, who will make her first appearance as a alar In Florcns Zlop feld's production of the new le Koven and Klein opera, "The Red Feather," will soon go to Paris. The title of the new play which the vicar of CJorleston has written for Mrs. Brown Potter Is to be changed from "Church and State" to "Stella and Noel, or the Light in the Sanctuary." ' Madamo Schumann-JMnk has signed a contract with Fred C. Wrltney to sing In an EiiKllrh comic 'opera. The contract begins with September, 1904, and the opera Is yet to be written. Wilson Barrett' new play, which was to have been called "Sock and Buskin," has been renamed "In the Middle of June," and will bs produced at Mlddlesborough during the second week of June. Blanche Ring has appeared on Broadway as a star In the latest Lederer production, "The Blonde In Black." It is a farce comedy, pet to music and hasn't created much of a stir in New York as yet. ' The closing of the old Boston museum, where so many of America's leading actors first won recognition, was made the sub ject of a little ceremony. The receipts of the last performance, $2,93.1, were presented Co the Vincent Memorial hospital.

She sailed from New York on May 21, via Augusta Victoria, for Hamburg, accompanied by her Cousin, Miss Emily Stevens, and will spend more than two months In Europe. After brief visits to Nuremburg, Heidelberg and Munich, Mrs. Flske will proceed to Switzer land, where she will sojourn for several weeks. She will return to New York in August to rehearse her company In "Mary of Magdala,", In which, after a short season In New York, she will make an extended tour.

Adelaide Thurston, the dainty little star whom the Wilstach Brothers are piloting Into fame, will have a new play, next sea son, Polly Primrose." As the name indi cates, U is christened for the special de lectation of the southerners, who Judge a play by the way the title of the piece ap peals to their sentiment and sense of rhythm, and with whom Miss Thurston :s specially popular. "Polly Primrose" seems better adapted to Miss Thurston's needs than any play heretofore selected. Its scenes are laid In Georgetown, D. C, dur ing the civil war, yet the author haa re frained from any suggestion or exhibition of the strife that existed In those day. The costuming will be that of the patri cians of the period, and the scenic display will be of artistic order. The cast of the play will necessitate a much larger com pany than heretofore, and the nature of the parts a higher quality of talent. Miss ZefTle Tilbury, at present leading woman with Nat C. Goodwin's company, has been engaged by Charles W. Allen to enact the role of Maria 1ft Viola Allen s production of "Twelfth Night" for next season. Miss Tilbury has appeared in many Shakespearean productions in England With great success. She was the Maria In Bear bohm Tree's famous presentation of "Twelfth Night" at his Majesty's theater, London, two seasons ago. Her Maria was one or tne Dig nits or the presentation and her portrayal of the role was proclaimed to be one of the most delightful seen in le cent times. Maria In "Twelfth Night" Is of the rollicking, Jovial sort, a role particu larly well suited to Miss Tilbury's unctuous and captivating style. Miss Allen's pro duction is promising particularly weil, especially when It Is considered that, othur than Miss Tilbury, John Blair, C. Leslie Allen, Clarence Handyslde and Jarea Young have been engaged for Important roles. A writer sizing up the season In New York says that of any of the runs of con sequence in New York, with the exception of "The Darling of the Gods," the only memorable records In point of lasting popu larity were those scored by musical com edies. Of these the biggest run goes to the credit of "A Chinese Honeymoon," that pasxed Its 4uoth performance in New York before It wore out Its welcome. Others fol lowing it were "The Prince of PlNon," still running there, likewise "The Wizard of Oi," wTille among the others "The Rogers brothers In Harvard," "Mr. Blue Beard," "Nancy Brown." "The Mocking Bird" and "A Country Uirl" had runs of sufficient length to make them worth while. In the strictly legitimate plays brought out that scored a memorable impression, soroetlung of a success was the portion of Mrs. Flske In "Mary of Macdala. while Mansfield and Sothern attracted some attention with their Shakespearean revivals, but on the whole It was a season which, In glancing back over the matter of successes, gauged hy any lengthy stays In the metropolis, fell far short of expectations. A straw that Indicates a possible switching of the eastern tusle for theatricals in the successes earned by one or two of the lighter comedies, of these "The Esrl of pawtucket," that is still housed at the Manhattan theater, ranks aa the boat. It Is said to be one of the daintiest comedies ever written for the American stage, and the Indications are that it will lust for some months to come. Henry E.

And hence, and because1 thereof, rorsooin, hnrebv beKinneth the "Meditation of the Good Old Summertime, No, 2," following the line which was started last week In this column. Meditation "On the gentle art ol putting yourself In his place." a....nt. .an An much If cauallt VOUnir. Teachers can do much If they use the right bait. Impressing upon students the rect tnat they are real, living people who are doing .t.i o n nut nrtnra and actl'KeR. who are "trying" to do things by assuming the forth of students, will be a help In developing that great necessity which Is so rare mat ll seems a luxury . spontaneity. , We have had It precnea a us, to us, argued to us and sung to us that we are poor mortals, and that we are the oai-th .nt that we are "but UUIl w dust," and so forth, and we have been so continually reminded that we were made out of the dust of the earth that we have well nigh lost our heritage. When we hear a person do a successiui thing on a concert program, whether it be . nr o viniin snln. or a Dlano solo, or a. sius, v. . - anything else, and hearing it, perceive that It Is well done, let us claim our nerimso, put ourselves in his place and make up a solid, earnest determination to go miu u likewise, Instead of saying, "Oh. If I had that voice, or that talent, or tnai ecn- lque, I could do sometning. n..n.w h other Dart of that old tjxt. about the dust of the earth the ;vrt which we are Inclined to forget "God breathed Into his nostrils tne Dream or life, and man became a living soul." The other part was the machine, ana tne rcj part was the "breath of God." Let us consider ourselves differently. It us change the thought. Let us remember that we are "the breath or God," ana lor get all about that dust business. If we keep dwelling on the "dust" thought JuBt think what your nam Is when the dust is rained on! Mud! Consciously, or unconsciously, every suc cessful singer or player has simply realised his freedom from the material, faithless, mechanical side of things, and has gotten a hold of his real personality, his real self, and Is not afraid of an audience. Put yourself In his place! Why cannot you do what someone else has done? Is God alive? If so, how can you be prevented from making the most of yourself? Yes," says a teucher, who haa been dis appointed In life, who has had sorrows, failures, has had hopes shattered, feels out of place. "Yes! That Is all very well, but here I am teaching music at 60 cents an hour and I should be making something of my self, and doing great things. It is all very well to preach that philosophy. I would like Indeed to put myself In his place, and to think of myself as a success, but I can not do It. I cannot, so what's the uee?" Well, thnt does seem hard. I-t us lock at It. In the flrHt place, no one ever yet accomplished anything, from kitchen to cabinet, when re started with the Idea "What's the u?"

Suppose she had said "I cannot," where would dear Basil bave been.? And what would Cromwell have said when he found that he would not be "pi t Into a poem?" Bessie, we are told, held the tongue of the bell and swung to and fro with the bell In the belfry and curfew did not ring that night Put yourself In her place! Hold your tongue, and go ahead, with the fixed de termination that "curfp w shall not ring- to night," , .... . ...'.. And, Incidentally, remember that you ar not the "dust" of tho earth, but the "breath of God." You !iav- acrlptural authority for that! A beautiful, and well known writer has said, "Man was' never more and never less than . man." Let us scatter the dust, and consider our poten tiality. Then again, the teacher must not be dis couraged, for does his teaching end with his term of day, In this existence? Who konws what he Is doing? Who can tell the work he Is projecting? One of these 60-cent per lesson pupils may In a few years be a singer or player of no mean reputation. It Is not always the best teacher who Im plant the early Instruction. Tell me, who was Rubensteln's. teacher? Who taught Verdi? Who was the first teacher of Kordlca, of Jean DeResske, of Paganlnt? Which of the score or so of "Pattl's first teachers" was really the one who gave to her her first Impressions In the realm of music? 'Can you answer any of these without looking up a dictionary? Who taught Wagner his first theory les sons? Can you answer without looking up a reference? No, I do not think so, and yet, that teacher, whoever he was, had for hly pupil the greatest musical revolutionist the world has ever known. Think of that! Put yourself In that teach sr's place. Do not be discouraged. Woxk with a cheerful faith, and drop the "dust" Idea. And when you see a person endeavoring to do his Intelligent best, under the guid ance of the rule of art, and when he play or sings well, do not say It was very good indeed, but he lacks temperament. Or hs played very well Indeed, lots of feeling and all that, only It seems too bad that ha does not do more with his technique. Put yourself In hfc place! Bee the beat In hi work! Imagine yourself there. When you hear a young woman play at a recital and she suffers with a temporary lapse of memory, through an unwarranted and absurd nervousness, then put your self In her place, very suddenly, and send her all the good thoughts you have got. Don't be afraid. You will get more, where those came from. You know, "the . Liord will provide." Be a fair a you can, and put your elf in the right place! Ml Judge, who for some years has been Identified with the music of the Cath olic churches of this city, has been ap pointed organist and choir director of St. John's Collegiate church, frequently spoken of a Crelghton college church. Miss Judge has been always a sincere student and successful worker along musical lines, and but recently declined a very good position In a prominent church In another city. Her principal reason for remaining In Omaha Is the large class of students who work with her. Another church change will take place next season. Mr. Keck will sever his con nection with St. Mary' Avenue Congrega tional church and will concentrate all his time and ene"gy upon the Kountse Me morial choir. At the former church Dr. Yost, the pastor, and his board have de cided to make some changes. The . choir will be vested, the gowns being the regular Geneva gown of black, with the white linen collar and front. The second service will be held st 4 In the afternoon, Instead of at night, which will be a decided Improve ment, It Is thought by the church people.
