tirtt nf tha Amfirlian ilui. With
due rvernc for the great men
who preceded klm to "tb ailent
haJla of death," none other had to strong a
hold on the popular heart nor held such a
rlaoe In tli public affection as did thla
rreatect of actor. No actor that tha pros
nt ("iteration can reaUly recaJl wai
equipped by nature, training or Inclination
more lavlnhly for tha calling to which ha
e voted hla life, nor one who wai mora
prodigal with hla aifta. It aeemed hla we a
tie true art nature, for hla aoul aeemed to
expand with experience, and hla talent to
Increase with um. Hla geniality waa prob
ably the strongest eharacterlstlo of hla
many-sided nature, and It waa a never
felling eprlng from which the currents of
Ma aoul flowed In bubbling humor or tender
jMhoa. He had a broad and catholto view
ef the affaire of life, aa one may reasonably
expect to find In a man who had auch a
Idfl and dlveralfled experience with the
world. While aa an actor he had the rare
capacity of entire aelf-cffacement In the
aurrlpUon of any part ha undertook, lowing
hie own Identity entirely In that of the
character he waa to represent, he ao Illumi
nated each part with hla own atrong per
sonality that one could not help feeling
that each time a portion of Joe Jefferson
rvas given In addition to that of the charac
ter undertaken. It waa thta faculty that
made hla Rip. hla Fighting Bob, his Dr.
rangloea. In fact hla entire Hat of parte, ao
peculiarly and wholly his own. And aere
he ha made the road for his aucceeaors
most difficult 80 abaolutely did Jefferaon
Rftiiimllate the characters he presented that
he practically left nothing for the discov
ery of a future actor, and whoever ahall
undertake them hereafter and attain any
degree of excellence In the role must be
prepared for the announcement that ha Is
Imitating Joe Jefferaon.
Jefferson differed In this degree from
others whose names have been written
high In the temple of Theapla. He In
stinctively outlined the whole of the
character, and developed It to Its fullest
rapacity, not alone accentuating Its main
features, but rounding out Its most trivial
details, until he left nothing for another
to All In. It was thla capacity that really
marked him aa great among the greatest,
lie took It Into bis private life. At no
time did he undertake to surround him-'
self with the excluslveness that too often
hedges off genius from the world It dis
dains, lie never lost his Interest In the
affairs of life outside the theater, but
kept a close and sympathetic connection
between himself and the busy world. He
took many excursions Into other avenues
of srt, and was thoroughly versed in all
that life haa to offer one who Is aeeklng
for goo?! In everything. One thing that
marked h'm apart from other things was
his firm conviction that he could best en
Joy his talent by giving of It frcoly so
long as he wss able. To this end he did
not look forward to retirement at any
stsae of his career, but worked on with
unrlimmed energy until actually prevented
from going further by hla falling etrength.
He had won practically all the world had
to give him honor, rfches, the foremost
place In hla profession, and might easily
have retired to a well-earned rest, fol
lowed by the good wishes of his fellow
countrymen, eome years ago. He pre
ferred that he should be permitted to 111
on delighting his audiences to the end.
In thla waa a degree of pathos, for each
time the merriment he engendered m
tinged by the thought that it would be lbs
last time, and the applause that greeted
the kindly old man was both hail and
farewell.
And now he has gone. What a comfort
to think here la one who did not have to
die to secure recognition. No words that
will be spoken over his grave can possibly
be warmer or more enthusiastic In his
praise than the tributes paid him whila
ailve. His way through life was made
most pleasant by the admiring Interest of
hla fellow men, and hla deathbed and pas
sage to the grave were surrounded, In
spirit at least, by the sympathetic sor
row of a nation. Joe Jefferson haa earned
his rest. He was a genius, but he worked
hard; ho gave freely of what he had, and
took his reward as it came to htm. He
waa a cheerful optimist, and his life and
death should both be an Inspiration, while
his memory will certuinly be a priceless
possession to those of us who have known
him.
William Winter, a long-time friend of
Joseph Jefferson, is the author of the fol
lowing, which was published In the New
York Tribune during the week:
Tribute of a Krleod.
(The following poetic tribute to Joseph
Jefferson was written at sea, aboard the
steamship New York, on October IT. Its;),
and it was read as a festival In honor of
the great comedian, at the Garden theater.
New York, November 8, 185.)

But the music of streams rushing swift
from their fountain,
And the soft gale of spring through 1 lie

In the depths of the forest It woke from Its

Hla genius that holds ev'ry heart in its

Manager Kirke La Bhelle Is to present
"The Vlrginlsn" for the first time In
Omaha st Boyd's for four nights and two
matltiees, commencing Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps never sines the dawn of the big
Helllug novel haa there been offered to
fiction readers a hero at once so human,
so manly and so Irreslstably lovable ss
Wr. Wlster's Virginian. He Is a man. He
does some things that society dors not
hh net Ion as proper; but his Instincts are
sound, his heart is big, he Is generous and
honorable and a man to be trusted with
a woman or anything else. He haa lived
the wild, elemental life of his kind, but he
knows and loves the better way when he
aces It. The dramatization has been made
by Mr. Winter and Klrke La Shelle, and It
haa been their aim to preserve to the
stsge aa many as possible of the details
and values of the book. They have also
been most cautious In the selection of the
players who are to represent the well
liked people of the story- They have be
lieved wisely that no single element can
enter so potently Into the reproduction of
the desired atmosphere as that of a com
pany of players who can convincingly sug
gest the characters as drawn In the book.
Mr. Wlster Is enthusiastic with the work
of Dustln Farnum In the title role. He
says Mr. Farnum cornea as near a living
personification of his hero as anyone could.
Othera In the company are Frank Cam
peau, Joseph Callahan, Benne.t Musson,
Avis Wuterman, Frank Nelson, Helen
Holmes, Marquita Dwlght and Marie Tay
lor, very much the same cast Been during
the recent long run at. the Manhattan
theater. New "York.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Tatch" will
be at the Boyd on Thursday evening for a
single performance. Madge Carr Cooke Is
still presenting the character of the Alice
Hogan Rice heroine, and has the support
of all the original company with the single
exception of Mabel Tallferro, who played
Irving Mary when the play was first pre
sented hers.
Nat C. Goodwin comes to us on KrlrlHjr
night and Saturday matinee with a piece
that has been thoroughly reviewed by the
press of such Important centers as Chicago,
St. Louis, nttaburg, Cincinnati, Boston,
Philadelphia and Washington and the crit
ic in each of these places have weighed
it well and proclaimed It a winner. The
piece la called "The Usurper," was written
for Mr. Goodwin by I. N. Morris, and is
Music and Musical Notes
id to g.ve to that star opportunities tret
exceed those that he has had In any of his
other plays. Striking love pasmges and In
cidents replete with the Ooodwlnivxiue
humor envelope his role and aid him In giv
ing one of those delightfully charming char
acterisations for which he Is noted. For
the Saturday night program It la on tapis
that he will revive ''An American Cltlacn,"
which has not been seen here In years.
This play, too. will receive the same careful
attention that oil of his productions are
given.
Kllroy and Brltton will be seen at the
Krug theater for four nights and two mati
nees starting with a matinee today, hesding
the new success, "An Arlstocrstlc Trsmp."
There's a laugh every minute for the most
cynical, and between the laugh there's also
a chance for the sympathetic to drop a tear.
"An Aristocratic. Tramp" contains a scn
satlonal automobile race and explosion and
the most sensational of all train effects, to
gether with lively singing and dancing
specialties galore. These two stars have
surrounded themselves with s carefully
picked company of metropolitan players,
while the scenic effects are goigeous In
every detail.
"Beware of Men" promises to be one of
the swiftest and to give everyone a good
enough run for his money. The spice p'
realism with which the piny abounds Is
added to by the striking and sensntlonnt In
troduction of reproductions of local metro
politan locations and association?? now for
the first time presented on any stage-. The
charactera embody various dramatic and
comic types to be found In both rural and
city life, and an abundance of diversified
action through four sets leads up to a
serlea of thrilling climaxes. The play will
be seen at the Krug theater for three
nights and Saturday matinee starting
Thursday night, May 4

For the week starting with a matinee to
day the new vaudeville bill at the Orpheum
embraces a catchy assortment of entertain
ment typical of the kind most sought In
this form of theatricals. Helen Tltcomb.
the Spanish-American nightingale, comes
for the first time. La Jolle Tltcomb Is no
less Indebted for her fame to her feminine
charms than to her voice, she belngi the
reputed prize-winner In beauty shows at St.
Petersburg, Paris snd Buenos' Ayres. and
the heraldings of the new star would indi
cate there will be a marked preference for
front seats among th smart ones. Femi
nine charm Is promised among other at
tributes of merit by the Russian court danc
ers and entertainers, the peschkoff troupe,
four graceful nnd agile girls and a man,
who perform their native dances nnd dis
play a gorgeous wardrobe. The turn of the
Nichols slHters is unique In that they are
pretty young women who don the burnt
cork guise nnd In delineating the southern
character treat the audience to some lively
fun-making, dance and song. Warren snd
Gardner, the comedian snd the singer, will
promote an agitation of the rlslhles and
render a number of soue. The Instrumen
tal music exponents will be those accom
plished banjo artists. Polk and Collins.
They are as versatile ns clever on this in
strument and render classics as readily as
popular selections and give some imitations.
Other Initial bidders for Ingratlatlon here
are: The Willson trio, comedians who en
liven matters with a brand of entertainment
of their own stamp, and La Vine and
Leonard, comedy aiitomoblllsts, with some
thing out of the ordinary. Entirely new

for the kiuedrome.

have appeared. Mnie. Johanna Gadskl,
the famous suprano singer, will appear at

alone would be sufficient to make the en

Mme. Gadskl ha been received every
where with unbounded enthusiasm. Her
ainglng la not only delightful and satisfy
ing to the fullest degree, but her gracious
manner simply captivates her audience
everywhere. She haa responded to no less
than eight encores upon some occasions,
and all In a spirit so gracious and winning
as to make her audience feel not only de
lighted, but happy. The Omaha Festival
Chorus, under the direction of Ben Stan
ley, will assist the orchestra, nnd will also
sing with Mme. Gadskl at the evening
concert. The programs In full will appear
later. Seats will go on sale at the Audi

HQ (Savage season of grand opera
paased off in a most satlsfactoi-y
m a liner. It is to be hoped the
organization will include Omaha
In Its Itinerary every year. The
choh e of operas made by the public was
goid. hut why is it that peoplo Invariably
wo' to hear what is familiar to them?
Ti, lepertory Included "Othello," "La
Boheme," "Tosca" and several other works
never heard here. Would It not be a good
thing to widen our horizon by taking a
lilt at the things wo do not know so well,
next year, if we have a chance?
It should be part of every muslo lover's
creed to reach out and add fresh knowl
edge to his store, as well aa to water and
keep growing the memoriea already gath
ered. For thla reason It is rather a pity
that the Savage people did not perform
at least one of the less familiar operas.
Savage has the foreign idea of organiza
tion; his people are all good, and the
works axe atagrd In a uniformly fine man
ner. Star are an unknown quantity, and
the result i that the Interest center in
the music; the "perscrul note" Is not
sounded. He haa eliminated tbe sensa
tional American talent, which gained such
supremacy under Grau, and which Con
rled, with his love of "chasing the last
dollar to ita lair," bids fair to foster to an
even greater degree. "No man can serve
two masters." Ideals and large amounts
of money steadily refuse to walk together.
It remain to be seen now, whether Savage
can hang on to his Ideals, or whether he.
too, will slump.
Tho following program will be given by
the Pittsburg orchestra on tho afternoon
and evening of May 16 at the Auditorium.

Many critics all through the country aru
wading into Padcrewskl. They scarcely
leave him a leg to stand on. Nothing is
right; he hammers; hie rhythm is faulty;
his technique uncertain; bis pedaling bad
111 fact, nothing is as of old but his singu
lar personality and hla power to thriU and
rouse hla audienoes to hysteria. The un
pleaaed one axe obliged sadly to acknowl
edge the latter peifectly patent 'acts. The
criticism have been so varied and so in
tense that one of two things must be true:
either Paderewski has, as his detractors
use long column to prove, gone down
hill, or else he has grown to su h a de
gree that be haa reached a larined plune
whereupon ordinary mortals may not stand
In appreciation. Time will tell which side
is correct.
Wilson G. Smith, the well known com
poser, who writes for the Cleveland Press,
haa given sa fair and broad a criticism of
Paderewski playing a has yet appeared.

The Courier, too, gave voice to Its poignant
i egret and disgust at the change In his
style of playing. The St. Louis Mirror,
with eharacterlstlo vigor, declared: "The
pallid Pole Is the greatest, and yet the
most vicious of pianists." Mr. Smith docs
not allow his love for the bygone
Paderewski to so violently .taint his present
estimate. He gives a clear, uuexcllcd
review of his evolution which is of im
mense Interest. For those who heard the
famous pianist when he waa here, and may
possibly not run across this particular bit
of good writing, It Is hereby repeated, even
though rather long:
lKderewski, tho erstwhile troubadour and
minnesinger, who sang of love, and tiie
subtle Introspective emotions, is no mote.
He who onto made the piano vocal with
the praise and romance ot sentiment ha
gone over to the camp ot the i'lultstliioa
and clad himself with the armor of
virtuosity and objective piauleni. The
bauds that once coaxed troin the Instru
ment the most dulcet tones now atlaca
it with such brutal force that it sound
liko clanging brass and tinkling cymbals.
Tim poet, intimate and seductive, has be
come the loud mouthed orator, who shouts
bombast and hyperbole upon the house
lop. A recital by Paderewski haa degenerated
from an event of high art Into a commercial
proposition, and tin artificial atmosphere
iiaa affected the altitude of the artist to
ward hie art and the public, tie no longer
approaches his art aa though a neophyte
entering the holy of holies, il is now only
the vulgar proclamation, "Hear yel Hear
ye!" wtilch greet our ear.
Time was when Paderewski was the most
elusive and poetic of modern pianists.
When he spoke from his heart, and entered
Urn sanctuury of Inspiration will) profound
humility and self abnegation. Now he
smiles his Instrument with the brutality
Unit Vulcan used at his anvil. True, the
apark dance and fly right merrily, but
tho clanger deafens us 1 ne piano becomes
merely an imperfeol aggregation of clang
ing si rings ami strident discords. it
merely shows how far apart arc the tone
poet and the mere virtuoso. And still our
artist bus his lucid Intervals, when he
makes his instrument speak in tones us
ersuadlhg and seductive as tbe serpent in
the Garden of Kdeli.
Paderewski Is no longer the apostle of re
pression. He has become the champion of
oppression, and bulldoses, rather than
coaxes, hi Instrument. That one so aMted
with Intense emotional control should de
generate Into a ranter snd vulgsr claptrap
Is much to be deplored. That Paderewski
is great n art cannot be disputed, but that
he has deserted the real pinnacle of his
greatness to compete with the mechanics
of art is the regrettable part. He once In
terpreted fur us ecwtatlo visions, but now
some of Ids interpretations are hideous
nightmares. Ho lends himself to tricks un
worthy of his art. For example -prolonging
tunes fur beyond their legitimate use and
long after th strings have ceased to vi
brate, to deludo the public Into the Idea
that they are listening to an infinitesimal
pianissimo. Moreover, ilia use of the sus
taining pedal is no longer impeccable.
Much of Lis left huud octave playing in the
fugue, the somite und Chopin etudes wa a
mole jumble. To parody Kipling. "Twas
only some wood, much musclo and much
Jangling wire."
As previously Intimated there were mo
menta when the erstwhile Paderewski shone
effulgent. Theu for a truth the Hiel spoke.
But the storm and stresH uf much that In
tervened caused one to legrut thai tho poet
hid laid usldo his pen to grip with Til lull
force the hatchet. Padeiea ski's real greut
