Gossip of Plays and Players
l"15' oi me mosi important events
Cj I of recent days In Omaha's thsat-
....n. inwiifijr wna lue till
production of "Ad You Uk It"
ftt Hanscom rark. Miss Fitch In
to be congratulated on having conceived
and carried to such a successful conclusion
an undertaking that might well have
daunted any manager. Not that the Idea
Itnclf n so unique, for the play has often
been given In the open air, but for the
reason that Omaha doesn't offer especial
Inducements to the promoter of amateur
theatricals, and the undertakings, save
tlmso that are of an exclusively 'society"
nature, have met very little encouragement.
Miss Fitch refused to allow history to
stand as a precedent In this Instance, and
with the support of the Woman's club and
her pupils In the Boyd Theater School of
Acting she pushed to a most artistic- suc
cess the first genuine al fresco performance
ever given In the city. It was most thor
oughly enjoyed by those who took the
trouble to go to Hansoom park on either
Thursday or Friday evenings. Borne con
fusion arose as to the time for the per
formance, owing to the antics of the
weather god, but this resulted In a doubls
presentation, and thus a double pleasure,
for many who saw It on the first night
went again on the second. Artistically, the
production was well nigh perfect. The
strength of the cast was surprising, the
several characters being exceptionally well
assumed by the young people, under Miss
Fitch's guidance, and the settings being
the most beautiful of nature's own work,
so that a more pleasing performance of
the piece could hardly be Imagined. No
plan for the future has been formed, but
It Is to be hoped that the success she has
met this time will encomnge Miss Fitch to
undertake a similar production another
season.
The City Council of Denver has passed
an ordinance, which the mayor threatens
to veto, establishing a commission whose
duty it shall be to pass on the morality of
plays before allowing them to be presented
at the public theaters. If the newspapers
published In Denver are to be taken as a
criterion of the moral tone of that city
such an ordinance and commission would
seem to le entirely superflous, for no play
was ever yet offered In an American theater
that would fall without the pale of moral
ity thus exemplified. Seriously, though, It
seems a little like a serious reflection on
public tsste that a body of men, whose
official tenure Is limited, and whose com
petence may well be quest ioned, should
undertake to prescribe what may or may
not be exhibited. Within certainly roughly
determined llne3 there Is no doubt but the
city council Is In a sense the moral con
servator of the community for which It
Is constituted, and Its purely legal right to
allow or prohibit certain exhibitions Is
equally established. Put It has always
been a point of pride with the American
people that no censorship has been required
for the direction or formation of their
tastes. Absolutely Immoral exhibitions
are not permitted, and the general trend
of thought has advanced to that point
where even unmoral plays nre little sought
after. The question of morality Is In a
large degree, determined by the Individual
each for hlmpelf, with due regard for
certain fundamentals admitted by all, and
any attempt to prescribe hard and fast
rules for the determination of Individual
conduct outside of the generally recognized
standard Is certain to produce dissatisfac
tion and resentment, If nothing more.
Plays have been presented In this coun
try, and have had quite a vogue, which
were better not offered. No public agent
has been more persistent In denouncing
this sort of play and demanding a higher
standard for the stage than The Bee. Yet
at no time has this paper seen the neces
sity of demanding a censorship for the the
ater. Such a proposition has always ap
peared absurd, and still does. The offensive
type of play has almost totally disappeared
from the American stage, for the reason
that having once witnessed It the general
public does not care to see It again and It
therefore dies a natural and unregretted
death. The so-tailed problem play, differ
ing In degree and Intensity, deals with cer
tain phases of sociological debate and Is
excused by Its advocates on this ground.
Utilitarians have not agreed on the ra
tionale of this discussion, but they have
not yet reached a positive disagreement,
and superficially some reason for It Is dis
cernible. The difficulty has been that some
of the playwrights have gone beyond the
limits suggested by good taste and have al
lowed their presentation of the topic to
partake more of the nature of a clinic than
a public debate and have paraded details
that are generally set apart for considera
tion In camera rather than for the open
discussion rrovMed by the theater. Objec
tion to this s. rt of this sort of thing does
not arise from squeamlshness or prudlsh
ness, but from that prudence that forbids
the presentation of such topics to minds not
fitted for their proper digestion and assim
ilation. Subtle metaphysical propositions
are not to be Indiscriminately offered for
public consideration, for the reason that
harm is certain to result from such a
course. Tho Immature or undeveloped
" mentality Is not able to follow
the author through the ramifications
of h'H argument, often Involved and In
direct In Its approach to the conclusion.
and thus all too frequently a conclusion
diametrically opposed to that Intended Is
attained. The sound and capable mind Is
able to resolve the question, but such a
mind has already to a greater or
less extent settled at least the fun
damentals Involved, and requires lit
tle If any stimulus from the stage. The
fact that the theater Is not a kindergarten,
and that the educational function of the
stage Is exercised for the benefit of those
who are equipped to grasp Its lessons Is
advanced In reply to the proposition that
some protection Is desirable for those
minds not properly constituted for the re
ception of the lesson Intended. The re
sult lias been attained, and In effect Is
as satisfactory as If It were the direct oper
ation o a censorship, by the natural aver
sion of the general mass of the people for
a play which Is wholly psychological In
Its manifestations. The American people
do not want mere "smut" on the stage, nor
do they care to hear the deeper problems
of life debated by actors. In this may
the solution la most practical, and the
censorship Is decidedly unnecessary.
The further fact that a censor, or a board
of censors, would not represent a postlve
quantity for the determination of publlo
taste is another reason for objecting to the
proposition. At best any decision reached
would be but the expression of an Individ
ual opinion and would not be of greater
force than tho remarks of the critics, save
It might have the support that would come
from Its being official. That the censor is
not infallible has been determined on more
than one occasion. In Berlin, for example,
the production of Paul Heyse's "Mary of
Magdala" was forbidden, while Suder
mann's "Magda," "Joys of Living" and
similar productions arc permitted without
question. Similar Inconsistencies have been
noted In London and other places where the
censor determines on the permissibility of
plays before allowing them to be publicly
presented. But the Denver newspapers pro
fess to see behind the local censorship
merely a great plan for making the theat
rical managers "produce" for the benefit of
the board of censors. Maybe so.
Coming Events
For the first half of the coming week at
the Boyd, beginning with a matinee today,
the bill by the Ferris Stock company will
be Oliver Dowd Byron's sensational comedy
dramR, "The Inside Track." Mr. Dowlan
will be seen as "the Black Sheep" and Miss
Church will appear as the newsboy Jerry.
For the last half of the week, beginning on
Thursday evening, Master Clark Marshall
will be seen in Joseph Haworth's great mil
itary drama, "A Flag of Truce," a play
that ran for over 100 nights in New York,
with Master Tommy Russell in tho leading
part.
Som Actor Stories.
Players generally may regret that they
are soon forgotten when they are gone,
but there are many among them who,
achieving prominence, glory for years In
tributes of respect which fall to the lot of
no other individuals, no matter how exalted
their rank.
When some years ago Mme. Barah Bern
hardt scored one of her customary tri
umphs In a play, among those who came
would he magnificent to be able to look
to congratulate her at the fall of the cur
tain was the Due d'Amaule, who, upon
being Invited by the great tragedienne to
be seated, replied: "I am very old, 'tis
true, but I can still remain standing In tho
presence of genius."
Richard Carle's experiences as playwright
and directing genius of his own productions
have been wide and varied. Hence he has
acquired the right to philosophise freely In
regard to the teachings of his calling.
"Since I took up the merry sport of play
wrightlng," he said one day last week, "I
have been told a great deal about It by
players who have never written a play.
I have never been able to figure
It out quite to my satisfaction, but I have
Invariably found that actors and actresses
could have done so much better than the
playwright If they had had charge of tho
construction of a piece. They usually make
this discovery after the piece is written,
and I have frequently wondered why these
wiseacres do not take their pen In hanl
and give expression on paper to the won
derful Ideas seething In their brains. They
don't begin to seethe, however, until arter,
always after, someone else has completed
a piece of stage writing.
"There Is an old saying In the theatrical
world that If a show comes Into a town and
plays to poor business, the press agent Is
rotten. If the show plays to a crowded
house the show Is great. Herewith, I wish
to coin another stage truism Into a proverb.
If the actor makes a hit, he is a great ac
tor. If he makes a failure his part is bud.
"An author may sit up all night, or all of
two nights, wrestling with a situation and
attempting to think out some original idea
that may take the fancy of the play-going
publlo. He may spend tho same time on a
single line to get a hearty laugh from pros
pective audiences; yet there are any num
ber of actors, who, aftor scanning their
parts, are ready to point out, with charac
teristic modesty, any number of things that
they are prepared to Immediately improve.
"Once I had a comedian working In one
of my pieces, who picked up the manu
script of the part I had handed him,
weighed it in his hand, as one might weigh
a potato, and then remarked: "Do you
think I am playing bits?" He had not
even glanced at the part. I wondered if
he would have cared more for it had I
written on heavier paper. I thanked him
for his opinion and engaged another man
to play at less salary. The player engaged
In place of the malcontent made a big hit
and added M) per week to his salary.
"Another time I saw a fairly well known
star pick up the manuscript of his part,
skin through the pages with his finger,
without reading a line, and then sneerlngly
remark to Uie author: 'That's a fine fat
part to hand me, isn't It?'
" 'What's the matter?' asked the play
wright. " 'What's the mattor! Why, there are
only twenty-two pages In the first act for
me.'
"The author, who was not at all fear
ful, immediately replied: 'Yes, and that's
about twenty pages too many.'

Instead of one. The object being to give
the medium slied towns within BOO miles
of Chicago which have not yet orchestras
of their own, an opportunity to Include
symphony concerts in their musical life.
Thre visits to Omaha would mean slit
programs, (afternoon and evening perform
ances). Beside the general benefit, it would
mean much to the choral societies, allow
ing them a chance to appear with orches
tral accompaniment. The difficulty is, how
ever, that Mr. Beach announces that a
membership of 300 at 110 apiece ls necessary
and this sum must be guaranteed for three
years. It would seem. as If 3.000 a year
for orchestral music might be easily raised,
but any one who has gotten up a subscrip
tion list in Omaha knows that It Is bitter
hard work. Mr. Borglum Is even having
difficulty with his Concert Promoter mem
bership, though it ls a little early to com
mence canvassing, perhaps. People are
going away for the summer and spending
their money for clothes and railroad fares
and small hot rooms near the fashionable
breezes. In considering Mr. Beach's plan.
It Is also well to remember that Robert
Cuscaden has "sweat Ink" to try and gee
a local symphony orchestra started in the
city. Would Omaha people patronise both?
The programs this spring of the Chicago
orchestra were certainly a pure delight., It
forward to sis of them next year. How
pleasant if 300 musical enthusiasts should
quietly rise up and offer their HO! Alas!
the millennium has not come. People pay
fabulous prices to clothe their bodies and
let their souls go ragged and hungry. Any
way, here Is the plan and opportunity, as
set forth by the Chicago manager.
"As You Like It," done In the open air
at Hanscom park Thursday evening, was
most picturesque and attractive. The cast

was wonderfully good and the whole per
formance, with Its lovely setting of green
trees and shady nooks, the listeners scat
tered In groups over the grassy hillside,
was one to be remembered with the utmost
pleasure. One of the features of the even
ing was the singing by Mr. JeBsen of Mr.
Kelly's settings of "Under the Oreenwood
Tree" and "It Was a Lover Rnd His Lass."
Mr. Jcssen's voice ls a clear, sweet tenor.
The only regret was that he had no ac
companiment (which would of course have
been out of place), and thereby the au
dience lost many beauties of these com
positions. "I'nder the Greenwood Tree" Is a
late composition, but "The Lover and His
Lass" Mr. Kelly thought out several years
ago, but has been too busy ever to get it
on paper. Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson
inquired again for It during her last visit.
She has taken a particular liking to the
song and wishes to use it in her recital
work.
Now comes the question, why do not tho
millionaires of the country' instead of heap
ing the colleges with more money and
building so many dozens of libraries, donate
a fund for the furtherance of musical com
position? The plan has been suggested that
ten of our best American composers be put
in a position where they do not have to
worry about their dally bread, so that their
time and j best energies may be devoted to
composing. The argument ls based on the
old idea of patronage and protection. Vic
tor Herbert in discussing the situation
makes the following observations:
We are behind the countries of Europe
from the fact that we have few who foster
the arts as on the other side. For Instance,
Wagner would never have developed into
the mighty giant he now Is considered had
It not been for the patronage of King Lud
wlg of Bavaria. He encouraged him and
stimulated him at the period of his greatest
depression. Haydn, the father of svmnhunv,
had the same protection. He himself said
that had it not been for the protection of
Prince Esterhasy most of his great com
positions would not have been written. The
prince provided htm with an orchestra of
suitable size for the production of his ef
forts, supported it and kept it together con
stantly; Indeed, it was part of the prime's
household, and Haydn thus had the neces
sary Incentive to write. This is whv I say
America is still behind the continental
countries in respect to caring for art In a
general way. Capital ls massed more in
this country and its Influence on art 1ms
not been distributed ss it eventually will
be. In Germany and Austria, parts of Rus
sia and Fraace, theaters are supportd
either by the municipality or by wealthy
art lovers. Some day this will be true of
America, for wherever I go I see a healthy
awakening. Take my concerts for Instance.

Mummy' I engaged a lot of comedians with
very fair reputations. They all fought to
interpolate gags and situations of their own
devising. After arguing with them for a
fortnight I finally went to rehearsal with
the bonk of the piece In my hand about
ten days before tho opening. Then I called
them all together and said: 'Here's the
book, boys. Go as far as you like,"
"And maybe they didn't."
When Albert Cherafier and Charles Bert
ram were In Montreal In 1S97 a number of
medical students from the McGlll college
took possession of the gallery and fixed a
line from the region of the "gods" to the
stage, down which they forwarded tributes
of appreciation, comprising baskets of
flowers for the women members of the
company and walking sticks and boxes of
cigars for the Thespians of the sterner sex.
The audience at Saratoff, Russia, recently
proved that there are other tributes less
welcome on the stagn, for In tho course of
a play several political allusions were made
that displeased them, the members of the
audience pelted the actors with fans, opera
glasses, packets of ammonia, bottles of sul
phuric acid and vessels brought by stu
dents filled with noxious gases, which
broke cn the stago and half suffocated the
unfortunate artists. '
In Philadelphia some years ago there was
a local amateur tragedian, a Dr. Landls,
who played for one week each year a round
of S'nakespcrean characters. He was never
accepted seriously, but was regarded as a
huge Joke. People flocked to see him, how
ever, and the situation became such that
for the last couple of years of his appear
ance he performed behind a net, as did
James Owen O'Conner, and. before his
time, the Count Johannas. The entire pros
cenium arch was covered with a net simi
lar to that used by trapeze performers In
the circus. Each night everybody In at
tendance was supplied with all kinds of
vegetables, which they threw at the net at
various stages of the performance, as a
mark of their demonstrative enthusiasm.
Just to prove that all comedians, and
particularly monologue comedians, do not
exaggerate when they relate at length
amusing conversations which turn upon a
word misunderstood, Al Wilson offers the
following as having occurrred within his
hearing In a. department store: It seems
that a gentleman, whose name Is Jepson,
had lust made a purchase which he de
sired the clerk to send to his residence.
"What Is the name?" asked the clerk.
"Jepson," replied the man.
"Chipson?"
"No, Jepson."
"Jepson?"
"That's It. You havo it. Six eighty-two
Grand street."
"Your first name; Initial, please."
"Oh. K."
"O. K. Jepson."
"Excuse me, it Isn't O. K. You did not
undersand me, I said 'Oh.' "
"O. Jepson."
"No. rub out the O, and let the K
stand."
The clerk looked annoyed, and then said
with some asperity: "Will you please glvo
me your Initial again?"
"I said K."
"I beg your pardon; you said O. K. Per
haps you had better write It yourself."
"I said 'O ' "
"Just now you said K."
"Allow me to linlwh what I started to
say. I said 'Oh,' because I did not un
derstand what you were usklng me. I did
not nnvin that It was my Initial. My name
Is Kerby Jepson."
"Oh."
"No, not O, but K. Here, give me the
pencil and I will write It down for you
myself. There, 1 guess it is O. K. now."
Recently In London' Henry Arthur Jones,
playwright, and IV-crbohin Tree, actor, at
tempted to Justify their respective callings
and to lay the blame tor some modern fail
ures wrere it by right belonged.
Mr. Jones In this controversy praised
modern plays and sneered a little at mod
ern actors, and Mr. Tree praiKed- modern
actors and sneered a little at modern
plays.
An American In London attended recently
a dinner where Mr. Jones told a story about
Mr. Tree.
"Mr. Tree." said the playwright, "met a
friend of his ona afternoon on Regent
street. The two stood and conversed a
little while, and then Mr. Tree said:
'lUvn tou becu down tj jce ins act
lately, my boy?'
" "No; too poor,' said the other.
" 'Too poor!' Mr. Tree exclaimed. "Why,
you spend enough on your wine and cigars
to'
"But the other, nettled. Interrupted.
" 'I don't mean I'm too poor. I mean
you're too poor.' "
John McCullough's forcefulness as an
actor implanted him so firmly In the public
mind that It will be years before hl mem
ory Is replaced by that of any other player
of tragic roles. But of all the thousands
who saw him play few were aware that at
18 he could read, but could not write, and
that at 18 he knew absolutely nothing of
literature, perhaps not even the name of
the great poet of Avon, whose Interpreter
he afterward became.
In after life McCullough used to speak
gratefully of an old chalrmaker under
whom he worked for teaching him two
things "chairmaklng and Shakespeare."
In his periods of conviviality the old chair
maker was accustomed to spout Shake
speare to young McCullough, giving a some
what imperfect imitation of Forrest's act
ing. It was this that turned McCullough's
thought from chairmaklng to the stage.
Yet in all his after years McCullough was
proudest of his early craft. On one occa
sion, at the height of his popularity, he
was the guest of a wealthy Phlladelphlan.
In the midst of the talk after dinner the
tragedian glanced at ifc chair in the room,
went over to it, and, turning it bottom up,
said to his amazed host:
"I thought so! That's one of my chairs."
And he seemed prouder of the fact that
the chair had lasted so long, because It was
so well made, than he was of his histrionic
success.
