tUE OMAIIA DAILY' BEE: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1904. 17 , C ABOUT ' PLAYS, PLAYERS ADO PLAYHOUSES Omaha people had certainly no occasion t. complain of lack of amusement during the last week. At tha Boyd theater two exy good PlM were flven In excellent manner, and at earn Of tha three parks a fine lot of outdoor vaudeville attraction wtre afforded whenever the rain god turned oft the spout long enough. Fact Is, the present season haabeen a vary hard ere on the parks. The fMghts have been Uher too cold or to wet to get the peo ple out fin crowds, and the result has been that tha only good attendance the parka bavo had has ben on Sundays and on holidays. The managers do not view this situation ' with unmixed satisfaction, but they are gomg gamely on, providing the best that la to be had and looking with trust to the future for the crowds that are ta help them get back some of the good money that has gone to the bad so far this season. The programs offered have beaa of tha enticing order, but the un toward ' weather has kept the crowds at borne. At the Boyd the Ferris Bummer Stock company has beon drawing very good housea, and certainly deserves the patronage It ha, received. The company la a reasonably strong one, its, members are all willing workers, and It is being most capably directed by Mr. Long", with the result that Its performance are of the most satisfying sort. Criticism, dramatic, and otKerwlne, I treated by the London' New 1n the fol lowing fashion: If roil had a sense of humor It would be Worth while to he a dramatist were It only for tha amusement to be obtained from reading the notlrea of your play. In the mi In. the critics agree with wonderful unanimity. You certainly cannot read In dramatic criticism the ordinary contradic tions which make musical criticism so en tertaining. A play nppeals mora or less to the reasoning faculties, and Ita apprecia tion la not so dependent on the keenness of the aenses tricky standards for a fair Judgment.' Thus, In the criticism of a new inger you msy read that, according to one writer, lie never sang out of tune, whereas, according to another, the ehJfif fault of hie achievement was that his Intonation was vevnr quite certain. No, the dramatic critics seldom disagree to that extent. But when they depart from the discussion of the main lines of a play and. show how It might be-made so much better, there' are as many differences of -opinion e there are critics. The chief point that strikes me In reading the writings of my confreres is that each has his own Idea of what a play should be. This,, that and the other ta not a play. The author lias n Idea of what a flay should be. ' and so forth. Only the other day a cO tic of proved acumen complained that Irf "Lady Flirt" the playwright has not made enough of the mclodramatlo Interest: It would have been a much finer play had he developed that part ef the plot. Now, In 'comedy, or a farcical comedy. If you will, 'the plot Is surely of but very little In terest, and. In this particular play I must confess I found the melodramatic Interest aaj libnertlnence. At any rate, If you adapt of write an original comedy of manners, It naist be disconcerting to be told that It v&uljA be much better If It had been some-' thing you had not contemplated. Again, wa were agreed In the main as to the weakneaa of "Warp and Woof," but when It came to the explanation of why it was weak there were many divergencies of opinion. It Is not a "play." It is wanting In-everything that goes to make up a Ulav." Well. I would ask. what Is hyi Dureiy jn innn aays we neea noi 'ollow Aristotle's crude definitions, and yet It seems to. me that all our dramatic critics are assiduous students of the "Podtlca." They appear to agree with the Greek philosopher that tragedy Should be an Imitation not of men, but of actions; that there must be a beginning, a middle and an end; and they would probably also agree; that there must be a complication and a development. The Hon. Mrs. Lyttel ton failed, according to many critics, be cause she did not succeed In making a play of her thesis. That assertion may pass as beinat in the main true enough. But how ought she to have treated her subject so ' as. to write that mysterious thing a "play." . The advice given to her must have: caused the author some amusement If.afte be gifted with a senae of humor. Bhe herwlf y must know quite' -well that her "Warp and Woof" falls principally because she -'has endeavored to make It a play In the. bsual meaning of the word. pomeone, no doubt, Insisted on the neces sity; bf contrast, on Inventing action as a background for the picture she wanted to draw of the life of work girls In this seeth. Ing city. Someone with but little Imag ination, no doubt, Insisted on the necessity of .showing the audience ttte fashionable world aa a contrast to the life of those who minister to Its pleasures and luxuries. Then, again, I have no kind of doubt that someone 'connected with a theater sug gested the character of Phoebe, the con sumptive younger alster of the head fitter t iMJle. Stef ante's.. We know her so well; when she first appears It la clear she la doomed to die, and that her death will be tha pivot of "tha play." It la even used aa the. chief clause In the Indictment of Mile. B tetania, and thoae who are Indirectly re sponsible for the modiste's overworking of her employes. And yet this theatrical ex pedient Is one of the greatest blots on the play for there Is no dramatic reason why Phoebe should be consumptive, and. If she were, an eight hours' day would have been Just lis likely to kill her as a day of sixteen loure. For the sake of "the play" Mrs. LyUleton has been guilty of a banal piece of theatricality. A'so for the sake of ""the play" she has Invented an Insipid love plot among members of tihe aristocracy. Ker. critics apparently woiild like her to have still further wrapped up her main Idea In theatrical 'action, and, If this -action had been managed with the sure hand of, - say, a Sydney . Grundy, we should have bed a "play.'' To my mind there was quite sufficient play In the tragic picture of the conditions of existence under which a section of the' workers In this city groan out their life. A consistent picture full of delicate char acterisation, ahowlng the types of workers and the temptations to which they are subjected, and the naturalness of their giving way to those .temptations, would have been dramatic enough In all con science. It would be a difficult subject to treat on the stage, but It could be dose by a master hand. The cause of the overwork only need be suggested. The aristocratic world could fee Invisible..

The setting forth of these circumstances on the stage before the yes of the audience creates atmos phere, I shall be told. . Perhaps It does, but at the same time it leaves but little space for the gradual exposition of the main Idea. Apart from the consideration of this par ticular play, I wish to protest against the assumption that the chief aim of drama should be the telling of a story. That as sumption Is at the root Idea of most of our. dramatlo erltlclsm. It la ancient enough; it datr from Aristotle. A new comedy Is produced, and you wl4 rind It judged, not by Its characterisation and Its truth aa a satire on life, not by its witty dialogue, but from Its Interest as a story- The same standard applied to the novel would result In the sixpenny 'shocker' be-( ing hailed as a more complete work of art than one of Meredlth'a novels; In a Oonan Doyle being held greater art than a Thomaa Hardy. In drama It would mean that the most machine-made of Berdou's plays Is more dramatic than Hamlet. This kind of judgment Is based on a confusion of Ideas between the drama and the the ater. The scent of the footlights (If I may be al'owed the phraae In these days of electrlcltv) prooucea a curious childishness In all who come under Its influence. One of the prerogatives of childhood Is to de mand. In and out of season, a story. Our playgoers are too much like children; they will have their story, and too many of our critics Judge plays ay what they conalder the tastes of the public. I reproduce, aa a specimen of that vlew-of-the theater, a sentence I have Just ttm in a Sunday contemporary. Writing of a certain drama tist who hns been silent for a long time, the critic piously hones that a new p ay will soon come from his pen, "for he Is one of the few of them left who appear to realize today that the fundamental basis of any play must be a consecutive story lead ing to a logical conclusion, and not a lot of Inconsequent cackle." That sums up, not verv elegantly, perhaps, but very con cisely, the attitude of Ihe bu'.k of play goers and dramatic" crltica toward the drama. And ' yet we hope for a renais sance of the dramatlo art. It can never come to pass until we have new play wrights, new audiences, new actors, and, lastly, some new critics. The few who have held up the best interests of tha art for some twenty years have been In too mall a minority. Manager Burgess of the Boyd spent a portion of last week at Sioux City, where he let contract for the repairing and deco ration of the ,Orand theater, the work being all assigned to Sioux City firms. This Includes work by carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators, upholsterer and the lilts. The contract for the electric wiring will be given out during the present week. It 's the Intention of the new managers, Messrs. Woodward A Burgess, to entirely refit the house, and to give It a first-class modern electric Installation Workmen will be busy for the next two months on the Interior of the theater, and When It Is ready to open In September the people of Sioux City will have all the advantages of a new house, for It will be modern In every appointment and up-to-date In every respect. ... Ethel Barrymore made one of the longest Jumps on record In order to reach Ban Francisco to open tomorrow olgnt She left London a fortnight ago, barely hesi tated In New Tork, and went through Omaha on Wednesday with members of her company. She Is under direction of Charles Frohman, and will play a summer engagement, on the coast, commencing with two weeks In Ban Francisco. On the way back she will play In all the principal western cities, giving Omaha three per formances, two nights and a matinee in August. This Jump of the star quite eclipses, anything in the line. To cress the ocean is common enough, and to cross the continent has ceased to be wonder&d at, but to cross both ocean and continent Is quite a new. feat:; ''and one that Is all the more occasion ; for wonder when on re members' that Miss Barrymore has been looked upon as being splrltuelle. Coming Events. Two of the best plays offered this sea' on by the Ferris Stock company will be given during the coming week, beginning this evening with "The Blue Grass Belle." This, as Indicated by the title, Is a romance of old Kentucky, - with the heart Interest fully developed. It also has a strong com edy element, and will give the company a fine chance. Mr. Carpenter has the role of John Brandt, a young lawyer; Mr. Owen will play Louis Berthelot, a French adven turer; Miss Pavey will be Mark Brandt, the heroine; Miss Hill will be Mrs. Violet Raymond, an adventuress and general bad 'uiu Mr.' Raymond will be Hercules, a negro with fun-making proclivities, and Mr. Prince will be Colonel Decatur, a genuine Kentuckian. For the latter half of the week, beginning on. Thursday evening, "My Lady's Heart," a play new to Omaha, will be given. It la one of the strongest yet un dertaken by this company, a romantlo drama id which sex against sex is the prin clpal theme. It has been presented several times In the east, and was given once by the Ferris company at Minneapolis, where It 'made a great stir. Stage Director Long ays It la one of the finest plays on the theme he has ever read. Members of the company are 'all greatly Interested In It, and are studying hard to give the play a Droner presentation. " It should be one of the successes of the Season. J Gossip trans Stavelaad.

Dan Emmett, the old-time minstrel and author of "Dixie,", died at his home In Mount Vernon, O.. on June 28, at the age of 86. He was a hah Jo player and organ ised the first mlnatrel troupe to go on the stage. In oompany with Jerry Bryant. , "The Forbidden Land," a musical comedy with lt scenes laid in Thibet, was pre sented last Sunday evening for the first time In Chlcsgo. It is written of by the critls as being a really delightful work musically and a very ordinary thing so far aa the lJbook" Is concerned. Cherldah Simpson has established to the satisfaction of a New Tork Judge that her husband, Jose Van Den Berg, had a wife living when he plucked the buxom Cherry. She may now spend her own salary and has begun by scouring a houseboat to live In while singing In. "Woodland" at Boston. "How she must have loved him." Melbourne Macdowell spent the box ofQce receipts for boose one night recently in San Francisco, wrote a letter to the cor oner, telling him what to do with the remains and then went to a bathroom and boiled it out of his system temporarily. In the meantime the members of tne com pany are clamoring for their pay. What Macdowell needs Is a snake charmer. George A. Kesslef, who exploits a brand of champagne, haa purchased ' the Luna Park site on Coney Island. He says It la an Investment, but some are mean enough to cay that It Is because his brand of wine was not served at a recent banquet. The deal involves a million. Thompson St Dundy say they have a lease on the site until 1915, and that they don't care a well, you know, who Is the landlord. Certainly the stars, or some of them at least, are making up for last winter's idle ness. Maude Adams, for example, Is still playing one-night stands In smalt towns, and Ethel Barrymore will open her season tomorrow evening at Ban Francisco. She will play In Omaha on August 23. Many more of the "big ones" are working, doing vaudeville -and -summer stock stunts. It seems the silly season. Is turning into a busy season for tha mummer. SOCIETY PRESENTS A CIRCUS Performance In Which No Plebinns Werw Allewed to Par ticipate. PARIS, 'July.. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) A remarkable circus perform ance, in which all the performers, musi cians and even the clowns were aristo cratic amateurs, was given this week. The originator . of the . entertainment was M. Moller, a wealthy gentleman, who takes a great deal of Interest In the training of horses and other animals. Every year the leading members of Pari sian aristocratic society crowd Into the barn-like little wooden cjreus annexed to Ms house In the Hue de Blnonvllle to see well known society men as Jockeys and pretty women perform various equestrian aots taught them by M. Moller. After M. , Moller had entered the ring, whip in hand, surrounded by his distin guished cast, the band struck up a alow waits and eight, handsome women, dressed in dlrectoire costume, went through ft graceful equestrian dlvertlsse'mexit, which was followed by an amusing interlude In which a down, who la also a marquis and a member of the Jockey .club, made, love to a pretty equestrlonne In short skirts who rode a bare-backed horse. A, troupe of performing dogs, presented by M. Moller himself, and an acrobatic per formance by six members of a well known aristocratic olub In Parle, were also In-, eluded in the program, which waa brought to a conclusion by a spectacular pantomime entitled "The Apotheoele of Ernest." In which the entire troupe took part, tha women member being responsible for com very pretty dunces.

Miss Hermon apparently figured as Mrs. Netta Stephen In the delicate negotiations which ensued, and the description she gave of herself for the purpose of the matri monial hunt was "90 year of age, dark and of commanding appearance." When she gave her evidence at a pre vious hearing Mis Hermon said that she received letters from, among' others, a prince, a count and a man In the West In dies. One candidate for her hand and for tune was a West Indian negro: another wa ,' boarding ' house keeper1. Most of them, she said, were "after money."
