"A Country Olrt" failed to arouse tha enthusiasm Ita heralding seemed to Indicate. It la entirely too solid to be cltmml ax musical comedy, and too Inane to be clamed aa comlo opera. The mimic sunoxt reaches the operatic pitch at tlmea. but doesn't hold It long at time, and never doea It Ret light enough to warrant anyone.

Thle aort of thing may pass current In London, y'know, but It will be a, long Hme driving "The Tender, foot," "The Bultan of Bulu," "Tha Prince of PUaen" and othere of that aort out of busl neea In America. One thing about tha piece, ad probably the only thing In Ita favor, la that It waa given by the largest and moat competent company aeen in Omaha In a, long time. Business at all the theatera good for tha week. Joseph Jefferson at 74, and atlll able to eharm and delight a cultured and dis criminating audience, not merely by the remlnleoent quality of Ma acting, but by ' Ita Inherent and absolute worthl la It not marvelous, and a testimonial to the genius of the manT It la true that In his '. personal appearance Mr. Jefferson shows his age; no mad ever attained the three-eeore-and-ten irmit and escaped tlme a tooth: and hla voloe has a funny little crack In It. But tha fire of hla genius bums aa brightly aa ever, and his rare intelligence and ar tlstle Impulse color hla every action and movement on the stage with, the hues of life, go that his art Is aa youthful as ever, and pne forgets the man In watching the aotor. It la not the fountain of youth, ' narliana. that Mr. Jefferson has discov ered, but It Is a well-aprlng of longevity, i ; and he baa been most prodigal In sharing It with the public. "Here Is to your good health and your famlly't health, and may you all live long and prosper." Is not an empty formula, with him. He laugha and wants the world to laugh with him. Na ture endowed blm with the most blessed of gifts, a kindly disposition and an optimistic spirit, and he alwaya keeps his eyes on the bright aide of things. During his Uty years of aotive life as an actor he has had hla share of ups and downs, and has been chastened by sorrows and felt the pangs of disappointment, but 'he flnda himself In the evening of life risen superior to all th petty trifles .'that leaser men allow to warp "the genial currents of their souls" and. Instead of looking backward from his pinnacle on tha distance ho has climbed, resting easy on his lau rels, ha still looks forward to further years of activity, planning to delight bis ad- , it.! rare with other performancea of booty Rip and bumptious Bob. "We'll give them Rip next year' he said to Manager ' Burgees last Wednesday. "Tou know they'll like ma as Rip." And ha went on talking of his plans as If he were a young man and had Just won his stellar position. It la Idle to undertake to analyse Mr. Jef ferson. Tha Investigator may resolve any thing to Its component elements, and de termine exactly what proportion of each substance enters Into Its composition; but let him Attempt to reproduce a sentient thing, and certain failure awalta his effort. 8o It Is with Joe Jefferson. We all know what each of hla movements, each of hla g-estures. each of his looks, his laughs, the shading of emphasis on each of hla words, means; hut from tho beginning of time we have only record of one Joe Jefferson. Recognition of this fact tinges with sadness the pleasure of witnessing his performance, for one csnnot repress the feeling that It It for tha laat time. But Mr. Jefferson has announced no farewell appearance, tut ex pects to go on to the very end. He has regulated his work to his capacity, and plays but twelve weeks In the year, choos ing the early fall and winter for hla ac tivity. When the trying daya of midwinter come, ha la anugly situated in his Florida home, enjoying the comforts of winter In tha aubtroplcs, and when spring htr again warmed the northland ti:to life and becuty, ha hurries back to Butsard's Bsy. where with old friends and neighbors be fishes tha summer away. Hla Ufa haa become Ideal aa well as Idyllic, and no one of all tha thousands who have come to know this man whoso kindly genius hss caused so much wholesome laughter and brought out to many honest teara begrudges him the cosiness Into which his way of Ufa has fallen. And when tha end does come, tha sorrow of a people will follow him to the ajrava. . Another genius, whose light shone almottt a brightly aa Jefferson's, and who was tha delight of thousands of ths cultured people, not only of America but of Europe, Is dying by Inches under such clrcum. stances as Indicate thit every picture has Its reverse side.

Here Is an editorial on tha toplo from a recent Issue of the New York rimes: The story of Mme.- Janauschek's long Illnes and dependent poverty Is very pa thetic, very touching, as Is alwsys the If 1 "i" .r9 prosperous artist who has outlived the favor of the public This Is not an Instance of the proverbial "clgale," that sang all summer end found herself without provision against the winter s cold.

But always there was to be recognlr.ed the Intellect of a great artist, and a public that owed much to her n her prosperity must surely owe something to her In her distress. While the turv waa r1HK,.ai.. fate of Katusha Maslova, Miss Blanche Walsh was sitting In her dressing room talking In a chatty way about her play ond her plans. "I like the part for the opportunity It gives me." she said. "It Isn't a pretty pnrt. T know, and can not bo made pretty. , But It makes people think, and .you know, that la something. Don't you think that a play that seta people to studying Is doing some good? It must be. I am an admirer of Tolstoy, of course, but I much prefer Oorky. Yes, I know. Oorky Is despondent, his pictures are gloomy, and all that sort, and he doesn't undertake to offer 'any cure; but hla picture -are true, and so boldly drawn, tike Tolatoy'a. Tolstoy draws with bold, broad strokes, and ,1s tut jo life. I do not know what my next play will be, but I hope U wUl be something lighter than I have had for man years. We are looking for some modern play In which the heroine has a chance. I have had to die every time but this once, and it becomes somewhat tiresome. Of course the plays have been good, but It seems It would never do to let me live. I don't mind dying, but you know I would like to have one coma out right and give me a chance at future happiness." Miss Walsh laughed merrily over the fate the dramatists have provided for the heroines she has had to present, and asked how the Omaha, women withstood the wind, which at that moment was sweeping freely through the open window In her dressing room, blowing her hair about apd generilly disporting Itself as the Indian summer tephyr Is wont to do. "I suppose I oould get accustomed to it, too," she answered, "but I don't be lieve I'd like to have It eternally tugging at my hat and my dress." Miss Walsh declined to discuss the rumor that she Is to present "Motina Vanna" In English at the close of her present tour.

' Uua Bothner will present the perennial Hoyt'e "A Bunch of Keys" at the Bayd .this afternoon and tonight The pipular old farce comedy baa been vulting Omaha for yea r and alwaya with mora or lues welcome on the part of the patruea of the Boyd who care for that form of enlertala ntent. Mr. Bothner haa the knack, It ap pears, of keening "A Bunch of Keys" al ways well rubbed up-te-ddte and brlghti Every" year he aids new people, spot-tallies ajvd business to the piers.

James Ftlal tnd TayloA William. Kxra KiH will be aeea at the Boyd Monday and , Tuesday nlghte In "The Vinegar Buyer." This Is the vehicle In which he wsa last season seen at the Boyd. It fits his peculiar" style of work to' per- I fectlon. In fact, the character, Joe Miller, about whom J. WMtcomb Riley wrote and I whose comical characteristics suggested "The Vlnegsr Buyer" Is the living proto type of Kendall, or, rsther Ken dall la of Miller. Aa those who saw the piece last season know there Is no farcical horse play In "The Vinegar Buyer." The effect is gained al most wholly by the clever dialogue, which bristles with quaint and kindly humor, sparkles with new Jokes, and which hat that terse, .eplgrammatio give-and-take quality which Is so characteristic of Ken dall. Among Mr. Kendall's associates are C. H. Crosby, Frank A. Lyon, Ralph Dean, Roy Falrchlld. John D. Oarrlck, Harry Hanlon, Frank A. Howson, Jr., Helen Salln ger, IOttle Alter, Lucille La Verne and June Nathais. "Burled at Bea," a melodrama written by that prolific author of "thrillers," Theo. dore Kremer, will be the offering at the Boyd Wednesday, matinee and night and Thursday night. The plot Is said to be on brand new melodramatic llnea and re plete with dark deeds and heroic actions In keeping with the new plot. Much Interest Is being csntared about the engagement of Virginia Hamed at the Boyd Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee of thla week Jn "Iris," the Plnero piny, In which she wss starred by Mr. Charles Frohman last season and which caused considerable comment. "The Second Mrs. Tanquerny," Plnero's earlier work, la the picture of the retribution that awaits the woman who has led the life of a Paula Tanqueray and tries to step out of It. "Iris" is a picture of how a good woman, but weak, la drawn Into that life. "Iris," on the contrary, la said to be all mercilessly true-iprobably too true In Its living, breathing picture of the weak and the sordid. Jftlss Harned comes to the Boyd surrounded by her original company with but two exceptions. The company consists of William Courtenay, Ethel Wlnthrop, Margaret Oordon. Mable Binder, J. Hartly Meuners, Stanley Dark. Elizabeth Goodall. Frederick Burt, Law rence Erldtnger, Eleanor Sanford. Harry Lewis and Amy Meers. The bill, opening for a wenk with a mat! nee luoay at tne urpneum, embraces a. playette, aong, dance, varied comedy, acro batics nnd mlnetrelry. The headline-feature will be Wright Huntington, supported by his own little company, including Florida Klngsley and Alex. Kearney. Mr. Hunt ington will be seen In two plays dutlng the engagement. For the first half of the week he will present his new sketch en titled "A Stand Off," and for the latter half his card will be "A Stolen Kiss," which has served him more successfully than anything he has attempted since eschewing the "legitimate." The Schenk Brothers, a resent importation of the Orpheum company, are powerful, agile athletes. Hand to hand, .head to head and tosBlng acrobatic feats of the difficult sort constitutes their turn. It Is not often a claimant to blue blood appears, but with stresa laid on the point aa well as her singing in a saprano voice, Prlncesa Los oros introduces hereelf ns a scion of royal stock from India. Charles Ernest, the well known minstrel, will contribute a mono logue of his rwn. An aerial feature w.ll be furnished by the Rio Brothers, who scored a "hit" on the Spanish rings at thla theater two years ago. Bryant and Savllle are musicians who Intermix their playing with comedy. The Britons, colored enter tainers, will alng and danca, while, to the motion pictures projected by the kinodrome considerable local Interest will attach aa they will show "Luna Park" with Rattan slide, the latest and one of the most unique of Amusement devices,. "Skip" Dundy, for merly of thla city, .it pne of the proprietors and managers. Harry Clay Blaney and hla big produc tion, "Across the Pacific," comes to ths Krug theater for the first half of the week, commencing this .afternoon. The play eo far this season has broken all Ita previous records of attendance, which, considering I that the piece is four years old, la at least unusual. Among the players this season will be found Harry Fenwick, Frederick Ormonde. D. E. Hanlon, John E. Kelly, Ed- j ward Buchanan, "Chinese" Johnnie Wil liams, Frank Sanford, Fred Preston. Au gusta Gill, Frances Desmonds, Kittle Wolfe, Kittle Edwards, Cora Denton, J. F. Bradley. Sidney Barclay, Roy da Poy, Au gust Jleldman and the famous Rough Rider band, consisting of Major Mort Epler, James Goodrich, Earl Dickson, Harry Charlton. Paul Dodge, Ben Gregory, Fred Egener, James Doran. Myles McCarty. Harry King, Charles Wesley and Dave Lewis. "At Cripple Creek" Is booked for an en gagement at the Krug theater the last half of the week, opening Thursday night. This play deals with life In the Rocky moun tains and the characters Include miners, Indians, halfbrecds and westerners, with novelty in the way of a girl from the New England states The first set takes place In the salon of Martin Maaon, called the "Temple of David." Act II shows Joe May field's cabin at Rift Canyon. In act III the acene discloses the. Interior of a mine known aa the "Last' Dollar" claim. The fourth and last act Is laid In Joe's new home at Cripple Creek upon the occasion of his marriage. "At Cripple Creek" Is full of heart Interest balanced by flashes of brilliant humor and quaint comedy. Cosslp from Stagrelaad. J Msy Naudalo received a mention In the New York wrlteupa of "Babes In Toyland." It Is to be hoped that Blanche Walsh will not be anked to play "Monna Varuia." She is temperamentally unfitted for the part, without reference to her physique. "Ermlnie," with Francla Wilson, Wil liam Broderlrk, MarKuerlta Sylva, Jesxi Eartlett Davis and Madge Leasing In the caat, was the musical feature tn New York last week. Miss Held of Omaha Is In the cast. Two of the bad companies that have vis lted Omaha this seaaon have gone onto df-nerved rocks. "Along the Mohawk" and "The Volunter" have ended their career for the seuHon at least. ' On Thursday night N. C. Goodwin opened the New Amsterdam theater, New York (the mllllon-and-a-half-dnllar playhouse of Klaw & Krlanver), with the greatest pro duction of "A Midsummer Night s Dream" ever made. Kate Masterwin, "Colonel Kate." who la also the "Matinee Girl" of the Dramatic Mirror, la having the time of her life Just now. Borne of the stories she has relnted In her columns of late are worth the tell ing anywhere you can gut a listener; Clara Wood good has repeated her New York triumph in Chicago in "The Girl With the Green Eyes," but ths dramstlo critics of ths Windy City have gleefully set about removing tha pedeaUtl from uu der Mr. Clyde Fitcb, author uf tha play. O. I). Woodward is sgaln the proud man. In two classes at the Kanaas City hnrse how his Limestone Bolle carried off the blue ribbon. Bhe waa a winner there List season, and again at Chlcaxo, where she is entered for the coming horia show. Just at this season of the year Mr. Woodward can't talk show: nothing but "hoss," and he is a close second to David liarum at that. .

I eU upon, baa been very bey Ul piajr lu Omaha tiUSIC AND MUSICIANS In last Sunday's edition of The Bee there appeared an article In this column upon "Flowers which are born to blush unseen And as the space wss limited, and I had no ssld hslf of what I wanted to say upon the subject. I tske the liberty of running the following remarks aa a kind of "second sec. umn to my nrsi train oi imiutm. , In addition to the accompanists who so often are born to blush unseen and tha authora and composers of songs and others already alluded to, there are many others which come under our consideration. For Instance, there Is the one who la always encouraging the music, student There Is that one person In the audience when she sings or plays who will always find some enjoyment In tho work. Though all else should criticise, though all else should find fault, there will be the one, who knows; the one who, maybe, is fur nishing a large part of the force whloh Is bringing the result from the singer or player. Blessed are the comforters. E'en though they blush unseen. In a conversation with a very dear friend whose loved one had recently "Joined the choir Invisible," I remarked some months ago, "Well, you may certainly look up to day and rejoice In the thought that when she, whom your soul did love, was here you never left undone anything that could In any way minister to her wants music ally." I reminded him that many a time had I heard comments about his constant devotion to her musical alma and Ideals. He never was too tired to go with her to a concert, a musicals or a rehearsal. He was one of those blessed "comforters,!' flowers that are born to blush unseen, and flowers which are so rsre, so valuable that I could not help continuing thla thought of last week, tn order to mention them. When I see a man sitting away at the back of the church on a rehearsal night I do not ask what he ie doing there. I know he la one of the comforters, the en couragers, and he ia doing his little part In promoting the world's beauty and happi ness and advancement. I know women who are encouraged In this way, who are stimulated by their hus bands to the best work, be It playing the piano or harp, or tinging a song or an aria. These women do not know how much the man in the cose Is doing toward their development Let them talk to other women (whom I also know) whose husbands are apathetic. Indifferent or, aa In tome extreme cases, even opposed to the development of the talents which may be entrusted to their loved ones. As though that would prevent talent developing. No mortal can stay the hand of talent. It will come out tome day, sure as fate, and you had better be a supporter, an encour ager, a comforter of another's talent, be cause, In the first place, no man can as sume the responsibility of compelling a person to bury a talent, without he Incur the penalty of being "cast out Into outer darkness." And oh, the utter despair of the darkness of Ignorance. In the second place, ask any man who la encouraging hla wife, or sister, or daugh ter to develop talent, ask him If he hat yet regretted the course he Is preparing. think that he will admit to you, what many husbands, fathers and brothere have told me, that his own Interest In music haa been quickened, that his own appreciation of the good things In art, and his enjoy ment of them has been constantly Increas ing, without any effort on hla part, and that there, la In music Just one more bond to unite atlll more closely hearts and soult which are interested In the Same art, even though the Interest be only 4 small one in the one case aa compared to the other. Blessed are the comforters! And In passing. !et ' me say seriously: "Wo oe unto that one who rejecte the en couragement of husband, father or brother. Think "whyT" ' Another flower that It born to blush un seen, and there are many of these. Is the choir alnger who does not sing the solos. Bless them, they are the true workers. They are the onea who are In It for "the Joy of the working." and their reward H aure. j Could you get along without them? Who are theyt They are the real onea. They are the people who. are true ditcl ples. They are willing to take any "at. The question uppermost with them It not "Maater, who shall be flrstT" and. Where shall I be?" and, "It not this my teatr Not once. It ia more likely to be, "Shall r be later When you look at your choir today, and you tee the soprano soloist, and the tenor soloist, and the contralto ana oas aoio Ists, give them a holiday, In your thoughts, and look around and tee those dear people, who never stand up alone, and who are necessary, who are the life, the might, the strength of the choir, ana wno are too often flowert that blush unseen. And then.' If yotir choir Is a robed choir, there Is the fragrant but unseen presence of some one person who sees that every gown la etralghtly worn, that the cotta or the collar Is fresh, that, in short, tnere Is nothing to mar the general effect. ' And there is the librarian. How unseen he Is, and yet how skillfully his work Is done; how muslo It kept In repair, an-J how Strang It teems that we never uo tioed before that someone must be secretly responsible for the fact that no person gets the wrong sheet of muslo. But enuugh. It ut apply thla thought in other ways, and we find the flowert that are blushing unseen everywhere, and they are God's messengers who are mak ing the desert place to blossom like a roe. As far os we are concerned, let us see that their fragrance Is not wasted! I am now thinking of the proof-reader who will read this, and. who It, perchance, born to bluth unseen. I have received a very InteresUng letter from a lady who asks many questions In said letter, and the letter Ja so Interesting, so honest snd so evidently earnest, that I will try to find room to publish the letter Itself, without slgnsture, and comments thereon In reply. In this column next week. There Is always much Joy In heralding the advent of a new musician who cornea In honestly. without flourish. newspaper "rushes" or any thin of the tort, one who rpmet tn and rails upon the critic of the leading newspapers and Introduces himself purely on hit merits. Of such is Mr. P. Msrtnus Paulson, who has Just come from Chicago, where he his lived for years snd has enjoyed the oppor tunities of studying with great teachers of the violin. Mr. PauUen la a violinist who will rejoice the hearts of musical people and his own fellow artists. We welcome him Into full membership. He will open a studio downtown. I heard Mr. Paulsen play last week and his playing was thoroughly satisfactory In all points that I am capable of noticing. The next musical event of consequence will be the Buranoe Adams concert at the Boyd, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian sssoclstlon, on November 1 Students, especially vocalists, will please allow me to advise them moat urgently, to go and hear thit concert. Mr. Willis has a few dosen seats now. which, oau be had at the Young Man's Christian aawxiatfi. Mlas Adams will be assisted by a fine 'cellist, a good basso and an accomplished SI i 1 Omaha Proof. j Mrs. T. J. King, of 1518 North Twentieth-eighth street, says: "Three weeks before I got Doan's Kidney Pills, at Kuhh tt Co's. drug 'store,' corner of Fifteenth and Douglaa atreets, I could hardly crawl about the house on account of pain In the small of .my back. I wore plasters all the time, but they did me no good. When sitting or reclining I could scarcely get on my feet and I attribute the cause to an accident when I fell off the sidewalk, broke a limb .and Injured my back. Doan's Kidney Pills at first helped me and finally disposed of the last attack. It requires very little Imagination to reason that what benefitted tne so' greatly, can be depended upon tp the future should recurrences take place." 0 AMUSEMK.Vr. E53 ftOaXITfc'd 5 l" M JL akZ?..
