ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS ulie u 11.111 r of Omaha people aro iijw going alxjut complaining that thty did ' not kno.w it was going to be so good, or they wouldn't have mimed seeing Fay Davla and "The Whitewashing of Julia" for twice tbe price of admission-. To thoae The Bee can vtt-r no consolation. Th-Y are simply unfortunate In not having given , little' more atantlon to the announce menta made In the nf-wpapers.

And Jonea knew Robln flldn't heed thla warning they are alone ' on, ao through the mutual acquaintance to blame. Two things fhould have at- j- they formed a friendship, and each had traded them without explanation. One, h' favorite fodder and ail waa well utyll the areater. that Henrv Arthur Jonea la thn authnr nf the il.iv. and haa never aent ! us a dull comedy. All his work aparklea with wit snd glows with worldly wis dom. Becond, the Empire Theater com pany Is the standard for America, and Its representatives are always equipped with something worth while. It is not a matter of special consequence if the name of the play waa a little obocure, or that the star was unknown here. To be starred with K tbe support of the Empire Theater com pany Is, or at least ought to be, a suffi cient guaranty of ability; and aa to the name not telling the story, didn't we take "The Girl With the Green Eyea" on faith? And without a star In that part, too? It eema Just a trifle out of reason for those! who are now quietly kicking themselves because they missed a really excellent per formance by a splendid company to give the excuse they offer. To Restore Luster to a Tarnished Rep utation If the young woman who finds her good name haa been Involved In some thing Indefinitely unpleasant and presum ably compromlHlng, will so manage h-r replies to the Inquisitors who Insist on knowing the details that she will not be entrapped Into any admissions, and will enlist the efforts of a man who Is socially powerful and sufficiently sophisticated to know a hawk from a handsaw, she will have made the start to soclul rehabilita tion. To complete the cure, and make her name shine "like a good deed in a naughty world," her champion must discover that the head and front of the prosecution has been entangled In some sort of shady do ings himself, and thus force him to cry quits. When this has been properly done, then the brightness of the noonday sun Will palo before the effulgence of the re stored halo of the heroine. N, B. This la calculated solely for the latitude and longitude of Bhanctonbury ; It may be necessary to vary the Ingredients and modify the application 'In other localities. Experiment mildly at first, In order to get a line on the probuble reaction of the component before going too far with the application. From Henry Arthur Jonea' "How to Have a. Good Time and Still Hold Tour Place In 8oclety." One Is hardly Justified In the conclusion that Mr. Jones has entirely abandoned the position he took earlier in hla career, that It Is quite out of the question for a woman to ever recover entirely her good name, once It has been lost. In the best known of hla plays he haa given most powerful argu ments why his position Is logical. In "The Liars" he deals with the matter in the ab stract, and In "Mrs. Dane's Defense" he handles It In the concrete, and through the medium of Sir Daniel Carteret argues with , logical eloquence against the possibility of woman ever getting back when once she haa slipped down. In "The Whitewashing of Julia" he shows how the penalty may be evaded. In the absence of actual conviction. Mr. Jonea buses his argument on the gen eral proposition that Mrs. Bulson-Porter Is ever present and ever vigilant; she may occasionally appear In the form of Lady Pinkney, but she Is there Just the same, and she Insists on being shown. The Inci dent of lion. Bovls Pinkney merely Illumi nates the fact that "things are seldom what they seem," and that the busiest stono throwers in this world are not always those who have fulfilled the conditions named in the, entry blank. Also that while society 1 may be never so Jouldus of Its standard It lan't perfect yet. Mr. Jonea given us a view of the ultra conservative Enjllsh circle, the sort that can afford to know people spiritually but not socially; a circle that appears absurd to Americans, especially when we recall the tales that are served to us In our Sunday cabled miscellany, or think of the picture Mr. Sidney Grundy gives us In "The De generates." But the two classes do exist, and between them la a medium In which ordinary mortals may live and have their being, undisturbed by the,, morold morality of tho one or tho virulent Immorality of the other. Bach of the extremes has Its uses, if no other than to afford the satirist ready ma terial for his pen. It Isn't a new condi tion, either, for English writers have Illum inated it for the public during these many years. One of the best illustrations of Its absurdity was that given by Gilbert In one of hla "Bab Ballads" of pleasant memory. Recited In rhyme, the story tells of two Londoners, Brown and Jonea, who were cast away on an island. On the side on which Brown landed were shrimps In plenty, but he could not abide them, al- Columbia Oraphophones AN lNflNITE SOURCE Of ENJOYMENT The Columbia produces tbe voices of famous unlets in your own 'home.

Each ' turned, and Brown went back to his 1 shrlmpa and Jones to his nytters, for each I felt that he could not afford -to know a, i man who had known Robinson. "The Whitewashing of Julia" Is an ex cellent type of that modern form of piny to the perfection of which all genuine lovers of the drama have been looking forward. It Is an epitome of good man ners, of the correct thing in speech, and dres - and Individual decorum; and Its II lustratlon of personality la made most perfect by the setting In which It la placed, that of perfect good taste, the quiet, ele gant luxury of culture of the twentieth century. On Its quiet, almost colorless, and yet delicately shaded background of eminent respectability are. distinctly out lined a number of characters easily recog nised by any who goes about much. Most of these are of the neutral type. Just as most people are neutral; but several of them are decidedly positive, the ones who give form and variety and Interest to real life. It is one of the peculiar features of human existence that the majority Is will ing to let the few do the thinking, and set the pace, content to follow If it does not go too fast, or Interfere with personal com fort to too great an extent. And when the limit Is surpassed In either direction, the Indolent majority merely declines to be led by that particular leader any longer, and turns to some other, of whom the supply has never yet run short. This doesn't mean that all move In one direction; the lines of social cleavage are too distinct for that, and while the several sections may lack In homogenity, a sufficient de gree of cohesion tr maintained to prevent absolute disintegration. Mr. Jones directs several of his sharpest darts toward this state of affairs. The self-satisfied are im paled on the petulant remark of one of the ladles that "evidence Is so confusing, It la much more comfortable to have a con viction ana suck to It." Even If this con viction be absolutely lacking In basis. The worldly-wise are given some caution by "Uncle BUI" Stllllngfleet, who tells "Ted dy" Pinkney to be careful to keep on the right side of "that very fine line which divides the things a gentleman does from the things a gentleman does not do.' While Mrs. Wren gives Mr. William Stll llngfleet a gentle tip on personal behavior, by telling him that "prudence Is too good ana userul a word to be left In the dic tionary," insisting that it was intended for use, and particularly for the uae of people who are "engaged." In a number of ways Mr. Jones proves that he was thinking all ths-time he was writing wnen f he produced the plan by wnicn Julia was so neatly whitewashed. e puiories the class that Is willing to be led, and he exposes ' the hypocrite who seeks to hide his own misdoings by his eagerness to "uphold for others a high standard." And, after all. he gives a lot of us occasion for real satisfaction with our present condition In life by allowing us to see where we would be In case we resided In the chaste atmosphere of Shane tonbury. Coming- Events. ' This afternoon and evening at the Boyd theater "One Night In June" will be the attraction. It la a pastoral play; Its scenes being laid In and around the plo- tureaque old town of Barre, Vt., and Its plot being one of much Interest. Mis Grace Turner, the emotional star. Is at the head of the company, which is said to be entirely competent, and which Includes the clever child-actress. Little Genevieve The simple announcement that the Bos tonlana will be here on a certain date enough to arouse public Interest, for thl famous organization has been popular with Omaha people during the whole of Its more than a quarter of a century of existence, its engagement at the Boyd this season begins on Tuesday night, and will Include three performances, with three operaa On Tuesday evening The Serenade, so full of pretty music and attractive scenery with a good story running all through It, will be the bill; at the Wednesday mat inee, "Robin Hood," famous for Its lyrics and Ita unctlous humor. Its catchy airs and lta pretty settings, will be sung for the 2,R24th time by this company. No other evidence of the excellence of thl production of DeKoven and Smith need be offered than the fact that after It has 7yy IB, ' 25c for Columbia Gold MOUNTED RECORDS, . 50c and $1.00 fof the COLUMBIA DISC RECORDS.

On Wednesday night "i'he Wueen of Laughter." a new number in the j Lkistonlan repertory, will be the offering, i Henry Clay Barnnby Is still leading the flock, and is singing aa well aa he ever did. while MtDonaid and Fothcrlngrmm are with him yet, while the others of the com pany are easily up to the Bostonian standard. Miss Agnes Brown, the new prima donna, is young In years, but has had excellent training, both for voire and singe purposes, and has been very popular wherever the company has appeared this season. On Friday and Saturday evenings and at matinee on Saturday the Four Cohans In "Running for Office" will be the attrac tion at the Boyd. This Is said to be the funniest musical comedy now on the stage. It Is presented by a company of seventy- two people, with the Cohans at the head Josephine Cohan's dancing and her stun ning gowns are one of the featurea, and George Cohan's singing of his popular songs la another of its strong lines. Mrs. Helen F. Cohan Is another and Delia Nlven, late prima donna with the Wilbur Opera company, Is In the forces. Jerry Cohan la well remembered by the oldbr patrons of the playhouses as a constant comer In former years. "Running for Of fice" has been styled a rural comic opera by many writers and, In a way, the term Is most correct The scenes of the piny sre all laid In TigersvlMe. VM It Is not on the map. but Is In the play, nevertheless. The characters are In keeping with the surroundings and not overdrawn, as in most cases where the author depicts rural atmosphere. A flourishing village In Ver mont lends Itself to the author quite aa well as If It were In New York state. George Cohan pictures life there In a most alluring llghtj The musical numbers from hla pen are moat tuneful and have already become popular. "If I Were Only Mister Morgan," "Sweet Popularity." "I'll be There nt the Public Square," and "I Want to go to Paree, Pnpa," are selling briskly and one hears them whistled wherevef the company has played. "Nobody's Claim," a thrilling drama of life In a Rocky mountain mlnlne camn. will hold the boards at the Krug for the first half of the week, onenlnsr with tho matinee today. The play abounds In sen sational situations and Intense climaxe. A band of outlaws brings about most of the excitement, for thev are renenterflv foiled In their work by the timely ap pearance of the hero and the heroine. The locale of the story gives opportunity for beautiful scenic effects, and this Is taken full advantage of by the producers. Among the more realistic scenes Is one of an express triln passing over tbe stage at a high rate of speed. The company pre senting the play Is said to be a competent one. Including Mls3 BerHce Howard. Maud Holden, Little Alice Berry, Norman Gil bert. Jack White and others. Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee the Krug will offer anotner of the popular musical- comedy tttractlons, the booking helnrr 'M'lle Fl Fl." one of Anna Held's earliest successes. The company Dresentlna- the piece Is headed by May Howard, -vio In recent years haa been meelng with suc cess In this line of entertainment at the New York Casino. Hammersteln's Victoria and the Chicago Weberfieldian house. Miss Howard, like many others now associated with musical comedy, Is a graduate of the burlesque stage. In "M'lle Fl Fl" she has the support of a very large company.. Including Allen Curtis, Frank Damsel. Jack Darlington. Mike Bernard, Fanny DaCosta. Carrie Massonery, tbe Cardownle sisters. Irene Watson and a bevy of show girls. The management promises some gorgeous costuming and beautiful scenery. "M'lle Fl Fl" Is nothing but fun and music, there being more than twenty musical numbers on the program. Eight acts, all new to the local patrons, for even the performers contributing them. with three exceptions, have never appeared here before, open, matinee Today, at the Orpheum. Wilfred Clarke and company will present his adaption of the French, en titled, "No More Tvouble." It Is de scribed as a playette of unique concep tion, laughable, and possessing a con densed and coherent plot. Mr. Clarke Is a nephew of the late Edwin Booth, whom he supported, together with Lawrence Bar rett. Other stars he has been associated with are Barry Sullivan and Ada Rehan. His support Includes Archie Gillies, form erly with "San Toy;" Miss, Lucille Spin ney, who supported Amelia Bingham, and Miss Theo Carew, who has been seen with the Augustln Daly forces, May Irwin and others. Tony Wilson and Helnlse, the originators of the bouncing bed turn, which they will .Introduce, will also give an exhibition of daring and difficult feats on triple bars. Lew Sully, the noted min strel, well known and popular here, will furnish an assortment of funny stories and some new songs.

In spite of a flourishing business, demanding his per sonal attention talked with me the other day about singers and singing In a manner which set me seriously a-thlnklng on a few things In connection with that branch of the heavenly art. And the one purtlcular gem of thought which he advanced was this: "Why do singers want to sing their extreme tones? It seems to me that when a man or woman with a so-called hlch voice sings, he or she Is sure to aim for an exhibition of the very highest tones of the voice, and the same rule applies, by Inversion, to those who are contraltos or bassos." And seeing that I was In the presenceof a. thinker, I put on my dunce's cap and asked him what was the answer. He said: "Do you know why? It is because they want to show off. There Is, In my Judgment, the reason why so many people are not Inter ested In music. The musicians, who should be educating, uplifting, expanding the Ideas of the listeners, are spending their hours of study In learning to show off." And I reflected upon this thought, then, and many times since, as I have walked by the trees which I love, and which are, In theae March days, Ood'a Aeolian Harps, I have aked the queatlon: "Why do we not try to be simple, to develop the vocal cen ter, Instead of the sides; why do we go to "extremes;" why do we want to show off what we can do, Instead of studying our middle tones, those which we use In speak ing, and give a message In our own natural voice, Instead of showing how high or how low we can go In the gamutT We are not feeding the people. We are "blind mouths, that scarce themselves know how to hold a shecp-hook, or have learned aught else, the least that to the herdman's art belongs. The people are willing to pay for food. We give It not, and wonder why they do not pay. We ask why music Is not sup ported by the people. We must "show off." And alas! It is a sad but true statement that "the hungry sheep look up, and are not fed." And the tall trees, the aforesaid Aeolian harps of the God of Nature, answer me thus "You musicians are not proprietors of your art. You are Ministers. A Mlnls Ister Is a servant, one who ministers. The call Is yours. But the call Is to ministry, not to proprietorship. , You have mistaken your calling. You can not appropriate your vArt. You must serve It. You are servants, and the servant Is not greater than his lord, but you make yourselves greater. You are mistaken. The t-chnle of your Art Is not so great as the Art Itself. Your wheels go round, but you do not progress. You are showing oft your machinery, not ycur power. Quit It. Bo Ministers. In service you will win. You must serve. Interpret, teach, help In "every way pos sible, but do not pose, boast or strut. You came "not to be ministered unto, but to minister." But to return to the friend who started this. Commenting further, he said: "The art of a singer Is his Interpretation and delivery of these things which will touch the heart. Why singers do not realise th's, do not know. But I have often thought what a useless thing It Is to sing words at all. If you are working to show wnat ou can do in the extreme compass of the voice. Why not sing a few exercises at a concert to show how high, or how low, you ran go, and then let the audience, satisfied ss to your compass, listen to you In a few ballads, or heart songs, from which they will get a message, a comfort, because your real self has spoken. How few sing- era do this! And how warmly they are appreciated when they do! But they must show off the high tone or the low one. and not the middle voice, where the real truth lies, and so, I say, why use words at all? Why not sing vowel studies to an audience. To me It eeerrui to be all the same." There Is so much food for contemplation In the thoughts presented by my friend that I will content myself with the pre sentatlon thereof, and will urgo each reader to think the matter out for himself, or her self, and ste If It Is not an arraignment of the singers of. the day, professional and amateur. And I would add one statement, which I know to be true, and which I have histor ical Information to corroborate, namelys that the singers who have been "minis ters." who have touched tne hearts or tna people, and who have been loyally sup ported by the people, are those who have been In possession of the "wondrous ex treme tones." but havs never used them, except for specially dramatic purposes, and who have been glad to minister to their audiences by beautiful middle tones which expressed admirably the sense and scope of the songs of the heart. Such persons are ministers of the art, not proprietors. Art Is , not a proprietary patent med icine, a drug: but rather a healing power of itself, when faithfully applied by those who know. Last week there was held In Omaha a species of convention or exhibition of ths work of those who, being deprived by na- ture (in one of 'her unaccountable moods) of the sight of eye. have been doubly blest by God In the Increased sight of the mind. It was a matter of extreme regret to me that an Important recital of my own Interfered with the possibility of being present at a concert given by some of tbe talented people of one of our state Institutions at Kountse Memorial church recently. I havs been told by several par sons who attended ths concert given under Mr. Loeb's direction that those dear souls who have been deprived of the sunlight gave a most Interesting musical program and that the singers and players who ap peared on that occasion showed that the Inner light was shining most brightly. It is my Intention to give to ths readers of The Bee at some early future time an account of the manner and method used In teaching these talented objectively blind students the way of knowledge In matters musical; and I cannot find words strong enough to commend those instructors who devote- their time, energy, brains and In genuity to the teaching! and development of those sweet souls, our brothers and sisters, to whom our hearts go out In lov ing sympathy, who can never see the beauty of a rose or the exquisite color schemes of a spring day. Tis true, "Ood whispers thera In the ear," but do you give a thought to those who educate them? Truly theirs Is a work of redemption! The word is being fulfilled that "ths blind shall walk by a way they know not." What are you doing to help them? What am I? The program which Mme. Schumann Heinle will preaent at Lincoln tomorrow nlht at her recital, which will be attended by some Omnha muslclnna, will be one of very varied Interest. Schubert will be ren reaented by "Du blst die Run," Wohln" and "Der Wanderer."
