Derformanc at this theater, and was wel
comed with Just such modest formality as
has marked tho entire course of the man
agement since coming to Omaha. It was
Just enough to break the ice, and that was
all. and when the little speeches had been
made, the curtain went up, and the Krug
proceeded to "deliver the goods." During
the week "Bweet Clover" continued to draw
euc.h business as warrants the managers In
believing that Omaha has been restored to
Its once proud distinction tn the list of
"week stands." At the Boyd, the new ea
ann heran lust where the old lefl off. Noth-
liaa been
taulished beyond dispute, so far as the
American stage la concerned, and the few
attempts that have been made to glorify
the unworthy have ended In dismal failure.
Not that the stage has reached a point
where Improvement Is no longer possible,
but It has reached a point where the
abstract lesson conveyed Is of positive
value, albeit the moral Is occasionally
reached by Indirection. The problem play
has its proper plaoe, and even the abstrac
tions of Maeterlinck may be winnowed out
from the hunks of prurience wherewith they
are surrounded and turned Into good food.

evening was really Inspiring; It certainly
betokens prosperity to aee hundreds of, well
dxesawd men and women, alighting from
carriages at the door of a theater, laugh
ing and chatting, intent on an evening of
Dleasure devoid from business or house
hold cares. Hard timea do not permit such
gatherings, and when the theater Is doing
well It Is safe to predict that business gen
erally la good. Therefore, the opening of
the theatrical season la Omaha this year
ia an omen of good, for it denotes that tha
people still have not only the means to
And In this consideration may be found
an answer to some of those petulant
persons who ever and anon demand that
the light and frivolous be banished from the
stage, and that It give itself over in whole
to Its task of edification and elevation of
public taste. It- may be that the world
would be better off If all the light-minded
and foolish persona were removed: but It
would be awfully lonesome for those left
after the hegira. Even the soberest of us j was postponed from yesterday will be given
the curtain up and the performance in
progress, a very unique and tlu-lllltig effect;
the Inst act Is the Interior of a country
tavern with Its grandfather's cHck, oM-
fashlur.ed fireplace and qupint trai-r-lr.gs.
The marsgement of the Krug theater Is
well plossod with t!ie suet ess of Its "bar
gain day" matinee, which will be continued
throughout the season. The same price,
IS cents for the best seats, prevails at all
matinees, Including that on Sunday. For
Sunday . afternoon the gallery will be
opened with an admission price of 10
oents.
"A Little Outcsst" comes to the Krug
th?ater next Thursday for the balance of
the week. It Is a scenlo melodrama, built
along new and novel lines and Is a decided
departure from the usual stereotyped
thriller. Miss Anne Ulancke as "Bob" and
Franklyn Koberts as Weston, the leading
role, head a strong and clever cast. A spe
cial feature Is the original newsboys' quin
tette which gives some excellent music.
"Omaha' Polite Resort" Krug park Is
still bidding for Its share of business and
will continue to offer Its many amusement
features with all the special novelties until
Its final close, the latter part of the present
month. The program today and week em
braces Huster'a Concert band with Prof.
A. H. Knoll, cornet virtuoso. This
will be Prof. Knoll's last week in-
Omaha for this season. The Oelssler

It 1 worth while to ask ourselves why
w go to the theater. Many of us, prob
ably, never stopped to think of this, merely
accepUng th habit as such, without under.
taking- to ascribe any reason: therefor.
Any on of a number of good reasons will
suffice, and the consideration of a few will
In a measure aooount for th diversity of
th entertainment offered by fjp man
agers. In the first place, a groat sense of
animal comfort and consequent satisfaction
la derived from th surroundings at th
theater. Light and warmth, and soothing
music, and the indefinable sense of sociabil
ity that oomes from the presence of a
larg number of fellow mortals, although
on may b a perfect stranger to all, com

sordid or crabbed beyond expression who
attention when he Is In the mood; but he
would rather laugh and forge than to be
sent home worrying over the answer to the
question that has never yet been answered.
It can all be summed up In a sentence.
Men and women go to the theater chiefly
for pleasure, and they are not always In
the mood for serious reflection In th
evening. Like the good poet, they avoid
'the grand Old masters,"
"the bards sublime
Whose distant footsteps echo
- Through the corridors of time.
For like strains of martial muslo
Their mlrhtv thouarhts suaareat
Life's endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight I long for rest."
Th "humbler poet, whose song gush)
from th heart," still has his Innings, still
la preferred to th men whose thoughts stir
th world. Nowhere more than at tha the
ater la this apparent; and It la probably
well that It should be so. In older Europe,
where the pace Is not so swift, where hu
manity Is not drlvin at ao furious A gait
during 'bulla hours, It may be well to
Insist on plays whose stirring situation and
Inspired passage arouse the soul and urge
the mind from its sluggishness to action.
But on this side the theater should and In
a large' measure doe afford a relief vent,
a sort ef safety valve, from which eacapea
much of the energy that finds Itself pent up
at the close pf the business day. It is really
th relief, In thia direction that brings that
next Saturday, September 12. Many private
family plcnlca are announced for the cur

ranged for. The street car service has of

sensations- to analytical test, but even If
they had they will not seek to deprive
themselves of the result because they have
discovered Its origin. Man Isn't entirely
.beyond th Influence or aspiration of the

ward his primal state of savagery and la to
be avoided or awakened to a sense of his
condition. To be sure, -on may find the
condition precedent to this state of phys
ical enjoyment elsewhere than at the
theater, but moat of us prefer to go to th business aa ours it Is asking too much that
theater attar 1L tn tneater t given over to art altogether,
Art la gradually winning It way to a larger
man when he cettles In his comfortable seat
and awaits the rising of the curtain. The
busy man may not know It, but his nights
at the theater. If they do not add much to
his general fund of knowledge, do con
tribute (n a large and direct way to the sum
of his day.

tiliSIC ANQ MUSICIANS
TI.e drsire to form a strong fmuslcal or-
ganisstlon In Omaha for the purpose or
resenting the master works of the world s
musical library, by Instrumentalists who
re thoroughly cnpnpble, Is a laudable and
worthy on.
To accomplish this three things In par
ticular are necessary.
First A "master conductor," whose loy-
Ity to the highest standards of art, at all
Imes, and In all places, Is beyond the
possibility of dispute.
Second Musicians who are specialists on
their Instruments; not musicians who
'double up," after the manner of the ocean
teamer band, which Is a "band" on deck.
and an "orchestra" In the salon.
Third A realisation most positive of which
of the two Is required, a symphony orches-
ra, or a band, for, I may say 'for the
benefit of those who may not know, they
are as different as day Is from night. If
band, then Omaha should pay for the
services of a good well known bandmaster.
If an orchestra, then Omaha should pay
for the services of a good well known or
chestral conductor.
Dr. Baetens sends me the following com
munication:
It Is no exasa-eratton tn s.iv that most of

aim me pernicious American hault or one
lesson-a week. As a rule the pupil taking
one lesson a week makes about the same
advancement In u year as the one taking
two lessons will make In a term and In the
course of four years It Is discouraging to
Hud that one has accomplished only what
mignt nave Deen done in one. When lesson
days come but once a week, say on Thurs
dy, pupils are too apt to neglect prac
ticing until the following Tuesday, but
when there are two lessons to get there Is
no time to play honkev. And the dudII en
oys tne two lessons, after getting used to
t, because there Is morn freauent change
and the interest Is kept up. ImaKlne what
slow progress a school hoy or girl would
make In arithmetic or reading who attended
school but once a week! There Is every
reason, as a matter of economy of both
tlmo and money (and I might add. of en
ergy and patience on the part of . both
teacher and pupil), to banish from this soil
the baneful, deadly, one lesson a week.
and thus, In a large measure, give Amer
ican pupils an equal opportunity with those
In Europe. "The advantaees of European
study" ronslst chiefly In this frequency of
Inspiration, as exhibited and radiated to
the pupil by the genius of the teacher.

Herein lie one of the strongest argu

Th company which Fisher and Ryley
ha sent out this season In "Florodora"
ha been organised with a view to making
It th strongest that ever presented this
successful musical comedy on the road.
In membership It will go beyond the cen
tury mark and In selecting the people the
management ha fulled the best talent from
the three organisations which they sent
through the country last season. The pro
duction Is a new one and some Idea of Its
magnitude may be gathered from the fact
that two of the largest baggage cars are
required for the accommodation of the scen
ery and baggage In transit. Fisher St
Ryley engaged a first class orchestra In
New Tork city, and with the many other
attentions bestowed on the details of the
big revival hav reason to believe that the
tunefnl away which the play has maintained
for th Vast three seasons will tie contln

Maxlne Elliott Goodwin, who is to give
one of Clyde Fitch's comedies early this
fall, came back from Europe last week
suffering from neuritis, superinduced by
yachting In rough waters on the English

tious attempt to discipline her she re
minded him that her new play Is called
"Her Own Way," whereupon Nathaniel
subsided.
O. D. Woodward of Kansas City was up

Jane Kennark. He says the business was
heavy and he look for a successful season

Al Holbrook, who Is rehearsing the Frank
Dunlela company In "The Jockey," has ar
ranged a new chorus dunce to accompany
a sung by Mis Louise Gunning, entitled
"A Maiden' Heart," which he promises

The death of Joseph llaworth Is espe
cially to be regretted for many reasons, but
Dartlcularly because he seemed to be but
entering on the plenitude of hi power a
an actor and was full of promise fur the
future. To the dramatic editor of The Ree
he wrote last spring, arter nla success as
Dmitri In "Keaurrectlon that he hud at

which would give him the opportunity of
his life. He was looking forward with
much anticipation to -heading a splendid
organisation In a new play. His death waa
quite unexpected, for his Illness was not
considered serious, even by himself. Mr,

It was my Intention to note last week
the fact that It had been my privilege to
meet a yoUng gentleman from Kansas
City, who sang for me some very Interest
ing songs. His name was Mr. C. A. Lar
son, and the voice was a rich and virile
baritone.
He showed me amongst other things
some songs by Carl Iiusch, the musical
mentor and monarch of Kansas City. The
songs, beautiful and excellent from th
most muslclanly standpoint, served to In
tensify a desire which I had long been
possessed of, to grasp the hand and look
into the eye of a man who Is a master In
a western metropolis, Carl Busch of Kan
sas City.
Mr! Larson -visited some friends ln
Omaha for several days, and waa heard
by a good many musical people. His work
showed good sense, Intelligence and tem
perament. Mr.. Busch ha dedicated some
songs to him. I enjoyed hi work, espe
cially In the prologue to Mr. Busoh's fine
work, "King Olaf." .
Last week I had a call from Mr. Frank
Newlean, a new teacher, who, will sing In
concert or recital work and teach the vocal
aspirant who may oorte his way. Mr.
Newlean la a bright, Intelligent, honest
musician, who sings a song well and play
gn accompaniment well, and I a good,
earnest worker. - There la , room for uch
teacher In Omaha, .and I take pleasure (n
wishing Mr. Newjean succees.in his choasn
field. He U a high baritone.
Another newcomer tu Mr. Bert Stanley,
who with his wife, also a professional mu
elclan, comes to us from the city of St
Joseph, Mo. Mr. Stanley will be ready
for business In a very few days. Mrs.
Stanley will be the soprano soloist at the
First Methodist church, Mr. Stanley be
lng the organist and musical director of
the same church, .as has already been
noted In this column. I aeked Mr. Stanley
If he had anything to say, and he told
me In a most woeful manner that he was
primarily worried about securing a ult
able house In which to aet up his house
hold goods, i, of course, suggested an ad.
In The Bee. So he will have hi house at
once.
I understand that young Mr. Cooke, who
has been playing In Mr. Stanley' absence,
show a marked talent for the organ.
