ABOUT PLAYS fLAYERS
Even f Monri gssed from Plsgah's
heights at the Promised Land below, an
the Omaha people who patronise the thea
ters may look forward to an end of their
wandering amid the wastes of "cheap
Bluff" to the better things that go to
make up an enjoyable Mason. Each of
the local housea haa had the customsry
preparatory run of Indifferent ahows, bnt
from now on good attraction will be more
numerous; even the grade of popular priced
smusemcnts showing a decided advance In
the books of the managers. The last
wetk was relieved from absolute dullness
only by the visit of "Princess Chic" at
the Krug and "The Storks" at the Boyd.
'Trlncess Chic" Is of the sort that en
dures; or.e Is not likely to hear It too
often. "The Storka" Is only on Its third
time round, and consequently has not en
tirely worn out Its welcome, although It
has lost much of Its original sparkle
through familiarity. Yet this Is not al
ways a disadvantage, as The B e pointed
out jome weeks ago; people like to meet
old friends, even In the Joke and aong
line, and enjoy them all the more because
they can see them coming. The Orpheum
began its season Just where it left off
last spring, to all appearances, and gave
a pood bill to good houses during the en
tire Week. Society has token up this
ort of thing for fair, and of a Monday
night the local swell set can easily be
found after dinner, aiding dlgoetlon by
laughing at the fun furnished by the
raudeville bill.
Again do the managers mildly protest
' against the very bad habit of Omaha peo
ple coming Ute to the theater. A little
more attention to the clock on the evening
for which the checks call for the seats
would assist everybody, and particularly
'hose, conscientious . persons who go early
10 they can be seated before the curtain
oe up. ' It Isn't much of a hardship to
Save dinner over by 6 or a little later,
and as the curtain doesn't rise until 8:15,
except fur' some extra long performance,
It doesn't seem unreasonable to ask peo
ple to be In their seats by that time.
But they won't do It In Omaha, and as a
consequence this town has a very bad
flame among eliow people In this regard.
For not only do the late comera disturb
those who have been prompt, but they dis
concert the people on the stage, as any
fllsturbance, however slight, among the
tudlence, haa a Jarring, If not more pro
nounced, effect on the actors. The local
managers confess themselves helpless In
the matter, but If the people would only
make a little effort, they could add much
not only to their own but to their neigh
bor's enjoyment of the play which both
have paid money to see.
One thing they should remember: The
person who goes to the theater in good
season usually does so because of Interest
In the play, and he expects that It will
begin at the time advertised. He further
expects that he will be permitted to fee
and listen without being annoyed by some
on who has dallied along the way climb
ing over him to get to a seat for which
the late-comer haa paid no more than the I
early. It I Juat barely possible that the
person who comes late haa only a languid
Interest In the show and doesn't really
care to see It open; that fact carries with
It no right to disturb others who are not
of that mood. And, while It may be
fashionable to be late, It Is good, manner
to have some consideration for others,
particularly In a place like the theater,
where no much depends on the frame of
mind of the Individual. And It Is post Ively
discourteous to disturb people during the
progress of an act. ' -.
Tho performance of "Ulysses" at the
Garden theater In New York was not an
unmixed artistic, success, apparently, for
Mr. Corbln of the New York Times thU3
review It In his Sunday column:
The play selected to Introduce Mr. Phil
lip to American audience waa the weak
est of the three, both a drama and a
poetry, being in fact little more than a
highly successful clothe horse plav, but
no objection 1 urged against that. Scenerv
and costume are a legitimate a part of
theatrical entertainment as great passions
and beautiful lines. The trouble waa that
even pictorlally and mechanically the per

which Is necessary to give dramtl value
to the scene, and In consequence the entire

with the struggles of an epic hero whose

Tho other great spectacle, the adventure
of I lysses in hell, waa quit as bungtlnglt
rendered. The aerial ballet ot 0ia. ted
spirits In nightgowns pendulated on obvious
wires or shot across by the footlights witii
a bang as If from a cannon. Whether or
not hell has wheels, the machinery used to
represent the passage of Ulysses down the
Stvx in the barge of Charon .moat cer

as torture after torture (to use the pres
cient epithet of the book) was inflicted
upon the audience. All remaining possi
bility of Illusion wa destroyed by the fact
that t mm vlnri representing massive rocks
stood between the moving barge and Ins
audience. The conclusion wns Inevitable
that hell wns a moving sidewalk. During
the scene t'lysses alights from the targe
on the hither shore of Styx, and then when
he returns to the depths of the state he
crosses thst dreed rt-rer In front of the
barge and without varying hie stride. No
shadow of doubt waa left that the Zem
who ordered this Hade waa Mr. Zeu
Johnalng. . .
The pronunciation and the reading of the
llnea were In strict accord. Mr. Johnslng's
name was variously pronounced as Boot,
Pzoos and Zooce. With regard to the name
of the particular goddess out of the ma
chine there wa a unanimity, in Itself to
be commended, though the result was npt
less painful. Everybody pronounced it In
two svllnbles. thus: Aath-ny. One won
ders who told them nil to do so, and what
was his authority. The effect on the mu

Had the line been by Milton himself they
would have sounded as If uttered by a

One of the recent events in the western
half of the amusement world Is the action
of Frank James, who has brought suit for
135,000 against Manager E. H. Brtgham of
the Gill! theater, Kanras City, and Man
ager Frank Oosxolo and all the member of
"The James Boya In Missouri ' company.
He acts forth In his pell Ion that he I a
lawabldlng citizen of Montana, and that
In the play he la held up as a gambler, a
train robber and a fugitive from Justice.
The Bee haa ne-er prior to this found In
Frank James' career anything to commend;
but If he will pursue this action to an ulti
mate conclusion and succeed In preventing
the further production of that absolutely
bad melodrama, he will have In a measure
atoned for many past misdeeds by doing
one good one. In passing It la worth while
to mention that the wild west venture In
which Cole Younger and Frank James
were feature during the summer proved a
failure, and suit and counter suits are
now In progress In the courts of Missouri.
Thl in Itself Is novel; the Idea of Cole
Tounger and Frank James appealing to
the law for redress Is almost good enough
to be copyrighted and dramatized. James
say he wanta no more show business; he
Is now SO year old and the life Is too fast
for him. He will spend the rest of hl
day on the farm.
Coming Greats.
The fame of the Wallace book "Ben
Hur". could have been safely relied Upon
to fill theater and bring showers of gold
to the hox offices, without the extravagant
expenditure made manifest through the
.a.aul dressing of the olay. and It
costly equipment of many Ingenious me
chanical device. The great army of
"extra" people might have been held In
closer bonds. If not entirely dispensed
with, and thua much money hava been
saved In costumings, acenlc embellish
ment and other aid and adjunct that
give It present prominence a the richest
and most comprehensive offering ot the
modern theater. The many' recent gigantic
undertakings of this progressive firm make
it apparent that an ambition to be oon
sldered the first among the great producer
of the day wa the underlying motive In
thl "Ben Hur" undertaking, and though
there was, undoubtedly, the anticipation of
large pecuniary profits, there was, as well,
a sincere desire to enlist critical approval
for their endeavors In the direction of the
theatrical art.
Ia there not something more than mere
lore of money-getting n that marvelous
scene upon Olivet, the scene where the
lepers the mother and suiter of Judah are
touched by the Nazarene and made clean?
It Is exhibited as a vision, a dream of
Judah'. thl being the only feasible way of
giving It with due solemnity and proper
effect upon the stage. The hundreds ot
neonlo crowded
upon the scene make it
.... . u . . wi i
wa.a coming irom xseinpa.ge eeing unra
upon every side by a vast multitude, while
the tall palm branches wave above their
heads, marking the measures of tneir song
of praise. Then comes that burst -of di
sling U?ht, the great shaft of purest white
that signal the Instant approach of th
Master. The effect though the Savior
himself la never seen Is prodigious. The
very atmosphere seems laden with the holy
esssnc and thers I the hush of death upon
ths audlenoe. It la not until tho curtain
desoenda, noiselessly, slowly In the now
subdued and uncertain light that thers Is
even as much aa a whisper of applause.
The single desire of money getting never
creates such scenes aa this, nor does com
mercialism In ths theater encourage any
thing quite so hasardoua In Ha attempt, or
so exacting In It embellishment, "Ben
Hur" certainly points to some dignity ot
purpoa and regard for art on tho part ot
Messrs. Klaw Erlanger. So-tremendous
production must be backed by a large
amount of ambition, aa well a a plethoric
bank account, but It also involves the love
of doing thing a they should be done, anl
that In ths theater means that the under
taking must be made art's debtor In some
very liberal degree.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
I want to pret-ice this article, "apropos
to nothing," with a thought which oc
curred to me last night. It Is a good
thought and It Is not mine. I firmly be
lieve that It waa sent to me for distribu
tion. Now, don't say "What has that got
to do with music?" It has not perhaps,
and then again, indirectly, pet-hap It has.
I was walking from Leavenworth to St.
Mary's avenue on Twenty-seventh street
last night and I noticed that the engine
house of the fire company on that street
had been undergoing some chnge. "Truck
No. 4" is, I believe, the usual designation
of tho company. "Hook and ladder" com
pany, tu reality.
Now I had passed that place many times
In the past few months and I had notice
that the lot adjoining the hook and ladder
house had been beautified and ndorned by
the care and artistic taste and constant
labors of some of those men who fight fire
and like beauty.
The title "Truck No. 4" was neatly and
artistically displayed In letters wh'ch were
living growths of richly-colored little plants
and the green background of the green
helped to make the spot a delight to look
upon. In the background there was a rude
but highly effective fountain with a cir
cular stone wall, making a sort of shallow
well, like unto the fountain which was
the meeting place ot the camels In the
Streets of Cairo, when Akoun held sway.
What a royal bathery this made for the
birds, hundreds of them, who could not
get away during the summer, but had to
stay horn and work.
The whole scene wa brightened by a
wealth of canna lillles,' and other plants,
and often os I passed that truck house I
have tried to see If I could ascertain by
looking at the face of the good fallows
of that house, which ones were tend ng
this little garden of gaiety, this little
bower of beauty. In the lot adjo nlug the
building.
Many times have I thought of stopping
and asking questions and many times have
I felt sure that the very next time I
passed I would get Into a conversation
with the fellows and tell them how good
they were to me, without knowing It
I wanted to tell them that T l,vwf

Ana that was why last nlsht I went
home thoughtful, because when I saw that
thin worn hair. .
tnings were being changed, and the garden
gone, I could not help stopping In front
of the house, snd surnrised at th. ,,.i,ir, 1
change. I stammered to some of the hook
and ladder boys as they stood ln front
of the place, "We'll mis your flower
now!"
And ah! the rebuke that came at once to
my heart! We'lf mla your flowers now!
And the answer waa h monosyllable
"Yea." It sounded like the clod on a
coffin lid.
It Implied things which condemned me.
and I vowed there under the stars, that I
would never again postpone the opportunity
to express an appreciation which I felt.
When the flowers are gone, It does not
cheer the gardener much to tell him that
you miss them. Had you told him that you
loved them when he was working dally
nurturing them, you might have cheered
his heart.
Let us all think our good thought out
loud, always, and keep the other to our
selves.
Let us meditate on the story of the little
gnrden of "Truck No, 4," which has noth

ins musical growth of Omaha H'
That Is th point. Those questions are
waiting an answer.
Before I leave thl matter. let me sav
mat Mr. Bellstedt Is a splendid musician.
a
most excellent player of the cornet. In
ract professionals upon that Instrument
have told me that Mr. Bclletedt's technique
waa simply perfection.
Agsln. Mr. Bellrtedt Is a splendid band
master and one of the most agreeable men
10 wor. who that It ha ever been my
lot to meet.
A an arranger of musical scores for
band, from orchestra scores of great dlf
fieulty. or from ordinary piano scores, I
consider Mr. Bellstedt a wonder.
I am sorry thst he has dons ss he has
don In regard to his loyslty and devotion
to the higher path of duty.
He caUred to th popular ragtime crowd
and now he see what It ha don for him.
But the musical scheme should go on.
. I had the pleasure of hearing Mlse Marls
Rwansoa. the harpist, play last week at a I
private recital. I was Immensely struck
with thl young woman' artistic personal
ity, her positive musicianship and her read
ing faculty, a well as the beautiful tones
she evoke from her beautiful harp, which
I believe Is one of the very finest In ex
istence. Miss Swanson should be heard a great
deal more, and she would be a welcome
addition to society musicaies, concerts, etc
She ha booked some nice engagements
for the coming season. Including a recital
at Red Oak and several song recitals In
Omaha, at which she will play obllgatos
and also accompaniments.
Beginning today the lust enjirf eeivtee
of each month at St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregational church will be In the nature ot
a musical review of the month' work, ar
ranged with a special view to accommo
date regular church supporters who desire
to hear the repetition of favorite numbers.
Instrumental and vocal solos, anthems or
hymn. The choirmaster, Mr. Kelly, sn
nounces that this will be ono of the reg
ular services of the church elaborated mu
sically and not a special concert or any
thing along that line, to attract the spas
modic church-goer.
Mr. E. D. Keck announces that he will
give ome selection from "The Messiah
as a Christmas attraction. Mr. Keck has
a large choir rehearsing therefor at the
present time. I wish him success, and am
glad that he has assumed this arduous
work. THOMAS J. KEI.LY.
