gagement at the Krus came to an end dur
ing the last week, after a more or less
tempestuous and not In any sense encour
aging experience. The stay of the Lillipu
tians at tha Krug thla week will end the
activity of that house for the summer.
One bright spot locally looms up for the
people who are Interested In amateur
drama, the al fresco production of "As
You Like If at Hanscom park on June 2
for the benefit of the playground. The
Omaha Woman's club Is sponsor for the
undertaking and Miss Lillian Fitch Is di
recting the rehearsals, which are progress
ing finely. "As Tou Like It" Is a play
that lends Itself very readily to outdoor
production, and under the experienced di
rection of Miss Fitch it ought to prove a
success. Another amateur performance
approaching In which the local publlo has
evinced decided Interest is that of "En
chantment," the fairyland spectacle to be
produced at the Auditorium for the bene
fit of the Creche. This, too, Is under the
guidance of experienced hands, and will
doubtless have a very suoessful presentation.

Borne discussion as to the value of plays
based on Biblical topics Is being heard,
with the general trend of sentiment in
favor of them. No very good reason why
the Intensely dramatlo stories of the Old
Testament should not bo used for the pur
pose of illuminating plays has yet been
advanced. It has been thorougly well dom
onstrated that an author of ordinary skill
in the use of his material can approach
the subject with proper reverence and can
produce a play that Is not only human In
Its Interest, but pregnant with dramatlo
intensity, and at the same time abate noth
ing of the awe with which the Word of
God Is, customarily approached. The Old
Testament fairly teems with stories of
dominant strength, whose simplicity and
directness has an unfailing charm for those
who take up the subject merely from a
literary point of view. Many of these'
stories have their prototypes in the legends
A of other races and tribes than those of the
Jews, so that Investigators are not infre
quently at a loss , as to ascribe their
origin. Take, for example, the latest of
the plays based on the Bible, a dramatiza
tion of the Book of Job by Marcus La
Blanche of Detroit; the origin of the, Book
of Job is uncertain, yet for majestic con
ception, for poetic beauty and for Impres
sive simplicity of thought and language It
Is without a peer In the language. The
story of Job Is wonderfully fraught with
all that is of Interest bearing on the life
of a man and the aspirations of the culti
vated mind for a life beyond this, and the
optlmlstlo hope that upheld the patriarch
through the vicissitudes .and trials that
bore In so fast and hard upon him Is one
of the chief cornerstones of the hope of
humanity for an existence beyond the pres
ent Why should it not be turned Into a
more living and therefore a more vital
force by being presented on the stage T The
author who can graphically set forth tha
salient features and central thought of this
great work will have done both the stage
and the church a distinct service, not to
speak of the possibility of adding an in
tensely interesting play to the narrow list
of really worthy modern productions.
As a matter of fact, some of the most In
teresting of modern plays are based on bib-,
Ileal incidents. Heyse'a "Mary of Magdala"
is one of the most notable Incidents; Sal- ,
v-inl the Elder played "Sampson" here a
few years ago (the name of the author is
not now recalled), and gave one of the most
impressive performances ever seen in
Omaha. "Ben Hur" Is too modern and al
most too trivial as a drama to be listed
with these, and yet It has been the greatest
popular success of all, and will be a living
force long after the others have been for
gotten, very likely, for the sole reason that
it embodies, as none of the others do, the
hope and the promise of "the forgiveness
of sins and the life everlasting." Byron's
"Cain'.' is one of the most Interesting of his
dramatlo poems, "Cain and Abel" Is the
title of an unprecedented play of strength,
"The Shepherd King" Is Wright Lorlmer's
successful story of King David, and quite
a list of plays might be cited as Illustrating
the advantage writers have taken of the
themes afforded by the Book of Books, and
yet the supply of material has hardly been
touched. "Sampson," one of the plays re
ferred to, Is properly In the list of stories
having counterparts In the lore of other
peoples than the Jews', corresponding to the
Up to the present the main reason for not
producing a play based on a biblical Inci
dent has been the diffidence of the manag
ers, due to some delicacy of feeling as to
the propriety of connecting the stage with
the church. It is one of the hopeful signs
of the times that the topic can now be
openly broached, for It Indicates a dis
tinct advance In the standing of the stage
and a decided change in the attitude of the
publlo toward the drama. It Is not. In any
sense a suggestion of retrogression of pop
ular taste, for so far as religion is con
cerned the church never had such decided
and unmistakable support as it has now.
It probably does not secure the unques
tioning obedience and abject subservience
demanded in earlier years of Its history,
but it is now supported by reason rather
than by blind faith and superstitious awe
and dread, and as such It appeals more di
rectly to the higher attributes of mankind.
That It is able to do this and still maintain
its foremost position Is all In favor of the
church, and that the stage as such has ad
vanced to a place where It can be referred
to as a possible adjunct to the church In
the general struggle for the uplifting of the
race and the advancement of morality Is
surely a fact of which all who are con
nected with the theater in any way should
be proud.
Coming Events.
Not a more Interesting chapter of French
history can be told than that which sur
rounds the intrigues of Mme. Du Barry,
wife of the Count Jean DuBarry, and
Louis XVI, who preceded the deluge that
washed out In blood so much that was op
pressive In France. The story has been
most Interestingly told In a play In which
Mrs. Leslie Carter won the highest praise

Belasco theater, New York. Manager Fer

would make so much talk over his plays
at this late day. He said he simply wrote
them for the times. That, if he were alive
today, he'd turn out an epigrammatic,
problematical society play, and a rattling
good musical comedy. That last remark
settled my feelings toward Bill. I always
knew he was a sensible man."
Writing of her childhood's friend, Mary
Anderson Navarro, Mrs. Harriet Kelly of
Louisville relates that the last time Mary
Anderson played in Louisville she had a
little experlenoe which amused her very
much. She was to fill an engagement of
three nights. Her manager had engaged
Masonlo temple for her appearanoe. When
she learned that she refused to play, main
taining that the theater was too small and
was unsafe besides. This was proved true
since, as the theater caught fire recently
and burned like a tinder box. Luckily It
was between performances. When she re
fused to play her manager had to hurry
around and finally succeeded in obtaining
Macauley's theater, the best show house in
the city.
As a result he and Miss Anderson were
sued for damages, and processes had to be
served upon her. As she was rather Inac
cessible, the sheriff engaged a messenger
boy to serve the papers, whose compensa
tion was dependent on his success. He suc
ceeded in reaching her as she was passing
from the hotel door to her carriage to go
to the theater. He stepped up to her and
asked, "Are you Miss Anderson t" Sus
pecting his errand. In a spirit of mischief,
. she replied, smiling, "Why, don't you know
Mary Anderson T" and as he hesitated she
stepped past him, entered the carriage, and
was driven off.
On the second night he approached h-r
again, but, laughing at him and giving him
an evasive answer, she left him again. The
last night. Just as she was leaving the hotel
for the train, the boy appeared again. There
were tears In his eyes and he looked wor
ried, but determined. He stepped up to her
and said, "You are Mary Anderson." She
turned to him with the same sweot smile,
but he looked so sad and disappointed that
she held out her hand for the papers, took
them, dropped a dollar In his hat, whloh he
ence to recover myself. But I could not,
and had the curtain rung.' The scene had
been spoiled because the actor had been
overcome by a sudden Hood of real feeling,
whereas he was to render by his art the
feeling of a fictitious character and so to
communicate this to the audience. Caleb's
cue was tears, but not Jefferson's."
One day last week oeorge Mlddleton, who
was a theatrical magnate before many tf
the prominent stars of today were born,
was locking through one of his old trunks
when he came across a clipping from a pub
lication long since deceased, relates Burns
Mantle In the Chicago Inter Ocean.
It contained the prologue to the first the
atrical representation ever given in Aus
tralia, at Sydney, in 1796. The play was
"The Rangsr," performed by a company of
amateurs, all of whom were convicts. The
manager was also a convict. An admission
fee of 1 shilling was demanded, and tha
governor and his staff were graciously in
vited to free seats. Coin being scarce in
the colony, a shilling's worth of flour or
rum was accepted In lieu of money. One
of the actors spoke the prologue from
whloh the line, "He left his country for his
country's good," Is often quoted. It fol

gome Actor Stories.
Raymond Hltohcock In his most reoent
interview gives the following comforting
information:
"I want to assure the publlo that what
ever the future holds for me, I shall not
play 'Hamlet.' Passing a clairvoyant's the
other day I dropped in, handed the woman
$2 and asked her to please call up Wil
liam Shakespeare. In a few moments I
was in communication with him. I told
him to have no fear, I should not play
'Hamlet.' He thanked me, and said he
doubled whether my genius was better
suited to Romeo.
'He said he had no idea that people
tered her carriages
In an affectionate tribute to the mem
ory of Joseph Jefferson Henry Watterson
cited the appended incident to prove that
the true actor must at all times during his
presence on the stage be master of both
himself and of his emotions. Says Mr. Wat
terson: "The actor Is supposed to be so familiar
with the publlo as to be proof against sur
prises. Before his audience he must be
master of himself, holding the situation and
his art by the firmest grasp. He must sim
ulate, not experience, emotion, the effect
referable to the seeming, never to the ac
tuality, never to the realization. Mr. Jeffer
son held to this doctrine and applied It rig
orously. On a certain occasion he was
playing Caleb Plummcr. In the scene be
tween the old toymaker and his blind
daughter, when the father dlscoveres the
dreadful result of his dissimulation at the
very critical moment there was an awk
ward hitch, and the climax quite thwarted,
the curtain came down.
" Did you see that?' he said, as he
brushed by me going to his dressing room.
'No,' said I, following him. 'What was It?'
He turned, his eyes still wet and his voice
choked. 1 broke down,' said he, 'completely
broke down. I turned away from the audl-
reap.
For some of us, I fear, have murdered

His lady, too, with grace and ease will

"Give me a horse!" bawls Richard, like a
drone; . v

Grant us your favors, put us to the test;
To gain your smilPB we 11 do our very best;
And, without dread of future turnkey

pockets.
"The convict who played Filch recited the
prologue, and was probably its author,"
continues the clipping. "We know that It
Is treading on delicate ground to Inquire too
curiously into the antecedents of the an
clentAustrallan families; but that feeling
will pass away there, as it has In Virginia,
where England also had convict settle
ments. No one need b averse to acknowl
edge his doscent from a convict who could
write such capital verse."
George Ade was among the speakers at a
recent banquet of the Periodical Publishers'
association, and In the course of his re
marks he loyally defended the literati of
Indiana.
"I bring you glad tidings of great joy," he
said to the publishers. "We are tiow In

HE announcement came a few days
ago of the Impending retirement
of Prof. John K. Paine, who for
forty-three years has been at the
head of the department of mutlo
at Harvard university. Prof. Paine is C4
years old and will be granted a pension.
Two years ago three of the most famous
American composers were at the head of
musical departments In our leading univer
sities. John K. Paine at Harvard, Edward
McDowell at Columbia and Horatio Parker
at Tale. Now Prof. Parker alone remains.
Mr. McDowell left Columbia exceedingly to
the regret of American music lovers who
appreciate genius In their countrymen and
like to see the good places fall to them in
stead of foreigners.
Prof. Paine began his work at Harvard
In 1868 (Tale, .Columbia and other of the in
stitutions have established their courses
within ten or twenty years). He was the
first one to make muslo one of the branches
of academic study, counting for the degrees
of A. B. and A. M. At first his scheme
progressed pretty slowly. Until ten years
ago he taught without an assistant, but the
last prospectus included the names of three
helpers, while tha number of students goes
beyond JOO. This year for the first time
Harvard university has a successful candi
date for the degree of Ph. D. In music. The
s7 man is 85 years old and his name is
ZjOuis Coern He presented a brilliant
thesis on the evolution of modern orches
tration; also the score of his opera "Zeno
bla," which was published In Germany, and
will be performed at the Royal opera In
Berlin. Prof. Paine speaks very well of
him. t
It seems odd that there should have been
a decided prejudice against music as a col
lege study. Mr. Paine fought for many
years 'against a most discouraging indiffer
ence. Professorships have existed at Ox
ford since the ninth century, at Salamanca,
Brescia and Tubingen from the sixteenth,
at Bologna and Basel from the seventeenth.
At the present day there are professorships
of muslo at Berlin, Munich. I.elpslo and
other Oerman universities. None of these
modern departments are as thorough as
the one at Harvard and are not counted
for degrees. Opinion Is divided as to
whether In establishing musical depart
ments In new Institutions the German Idea
should be followed, or the models set by
Harvard and Tale.
Prof. Paine has done a magnificent pio
neer work. He has created a department
of muBlc In American universities. Besides
the task of organisation and education
which he set for himself, he was the first
of our native musicians who mastered the
larger musical forms and composed works
which gained recognition abroad, as well
as at home. His principal works are
"Asara," an opera, and In the orchestral
field his second symphony, the syraphonlo
poems, "The Tempest" and "The Island
Fantasy," and his muslo to he "Oedipus
Tyrannus," of Sophocles, and "The Birds'
of Aristophanes. By these compositions ha
will be remembered. The next generation
will probably be much more familiar with
them than we are.
Back in the early 'M'a, when the Ladles'
Musical society was in the hey-day of Its
fam no performer was more welcome on
Its programs than Mr. Northrup. Ills
sweet tenor voice was in the senlth of Its
loveliness and hs was most generous with
It. Associated with him In the art of mak
ing muslo in those days were Martin Cahn.
who now has a flourishing class In Chicago.
Mrs. J. IL Mcintosh (Miss Claire Rustln),
at present In New Tork; Mrs. W. C. Shan
non (Miss Elisabeth Popple ton); Prof.
Bauer, the violinist, who came and stayed
la Omaha a little while, besides many oth
ers whom I cannot at the moment recall.
In those days there was a great deal of
good music performed at private houses.
Many are the afternoons I have curled up
In a quiet corner and listened to Mr. North
rup sing song after song In our family
muslo room. There was one song of Reuben
stein's which all his friends will remember,
because he did it so well and with so much
spirit, "Give Me Days of Golden Glory."
The memorial service held for Mr. North'
rup at the St. Mary's Avenue Congrega
tional church was particularly beautiful
He was one of the charter members and for
years the tenor soloist of the choir. Ho
leaves many frlonds who will mourn bis
absence.
There Is a small paragraph which the
Musical Courier has tucked In sundry
places as a "filler" lately which sets forth
the lurid Information that In Omaha, Neb.,
there is a doctor who has fourteen children,
who are all musical and perform on sundry
instruments. The skit ends up with the
query: "Does President Roosevelt know of
this wonderful family?" The squib also
appeared in some of the New Tork dally
papers duly emphasized with large head
lngs. As far as my information goes this
tale bids fair to remain in the category
with "who struck Billy Patterson?" If
anybody can elucidate the mystery, let him
or her speak.
On Tuesday evening, June 6, Bellevue
college had Its final musical recital of the
year under the direction of Mr. E. M.
Jones, assisted by Miss Fawcett, Miss
Allen and MIbs Fitch. A long and varied
program was given, including vocal, ylolln,
piano and elocutionary numbers.
Mrs. W. W. Turner has been spending
much time In the last few weeks getting
subscribers for next season's series of re
citals, manag?d by the Concert Promotera
A larger list than last year la earnestly
wished for. People who Intend Joining
would help matters wonderfully by giving
their names early. The fee Is 110 for five
concerts, entitling the holder of a mem
bership to two tickets for each concert;
That the programs will be first-class the
intending subscriber has only to review
last year's offerings. Mr. Borglum's and
Mrs. Turner's names arc sufficient guaranty
that everything will occur as promised.
Miss Jessie L. Oaynor of St. Joseph has
evolved a system of music study for chil
dren, whereby It will cease to be drudgery
to them. They will be taught first to
listen and talk of what they hear, and' the
actual reading and illustration by the key
board will come last. This Idea Is along
the same line with a plan which I have
for next winter. Instead of studying the
pianoforte myself I intend to have some
one, very likely Miss Robinson, come and
play to me, two or three hours a week, the
best compositions by the best masters.
Think of the ground I shall have covered
in eight months. It Is a compMe turning
about of accepted forms, but seems to me
remarkably good sense.
