, 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.. It Is extraordl-

nary how little our dramatists believe In
the Imaginations of their audiences; over
and over sgnln I witness plays In which
the who'.e of the flint act Is wasted In ex
plaining circumstance which could be dealt
with In a few words. 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

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

wa being aued by a Mis Hermon for th
recovery of iX a special fee paid to him
under an agreement to find her a husband.
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."
Mr. Charlesworth gave hi version of the
contract, led by Mr. Schiller,, his counsel.
and it waa hi opening assertion that so
astonished the Judge.
"She came to me a Mrs. Stephen," con
tinued the witness, "arid asked me what I
could do for her. I told her I could ar

you to see all the gentlemen for me, be
cause It Is a detlcat matter.' M
Mr. Compton-Smlth objected to thl evi
dence, but his honor, turning to his notes,
said, Tou asked her if he told her that
her past history would be a disadvantage?"
"Tes," corroborated Mr. ' Charlesworth,
"and that is what I charged her a special
fee for. She wished me to see the gentle
men beforehand. In " consequence. I gave
her 696 addresses'; altogether all over the
globe." ,
"Tour ordinary fee I 10 gulneasT"
"Yes. "I charged her 52 because I had to

"Did you give , her personal Introduc

number of gentlemen outside."
Mr. Charlesworth was quite indlVnant'at
Mlas Hermon' statement that he promised
her a husband with ' between 8.000 and
B,000 a year. "It was between 300 and
600." he said. 'It 1s out of all reason for
a lady with. a capital of 2.000 'to expect
