Inly 23, 1805. THE OMAITA ILLUSTRATED HEYj. Gossip About Plays, Players and. Playhouses m 1 n.'iir,no nave not yei expressed Wi. I " P,nlon waT OP the other ii u aeciarmiioii or wae pendnnoe pronounced by Lee 8hu bert durin the mIl It la likely that tha effect was discounted, for Mr. Harrison Grey Flske tad mad a lmllar announcement only a few day before, couching hl statement In more temperate and dignified languaire than used by his colleague, and giving the enterprise a mora substantial basil for popular approval by Imply saying that the new arrangement had been entered Into because It was at tractive from both a business and artlstlo view point. Mr. risk said nothing about fiKhtlng the syndicate, probably for the reawn that any action on his part that tends to widen the scop of his aotivlty is primarily accepted as a blew at th syndicate. Mr. Bhubert supplies th flam boyancy. Tor th general good of th stage and Its affairs, it Is to be bo pod thai the new combination will be conducted along mor dignified lines than was th last attempt to organise th "Independents' into effective opposition. If Messrs. Flske, Bel asco and Bhubert will merely attend to business nd allow th other fellow to do the frothing th success of . their under taking would appear to be assured. This Is mora than probable, because th public has tired of many of the methods of th trust. While Messrs. Klaw at Erlanger and their associates are far from being guilty of all they are charged with, they hav don enough that la easily proved to sub ject them to th most sever criticism, and hav earned th disapprobation of a large part of th publlo that patronises th t he after. It Is discouraging that art In any form has to ntr Into an armed struggl against commercialism In any form; for th proper uses of both, separately or In con junction, are commendable and beneficial. But It is better that art should revolt and battle for liberty than to supinely submit to be attached as a mere appanage of th chariot of th money god. With a healthy opposition, such as now seems likely, th big syndicate will find It advantageous to modify soma of Its plans and to abandon ome of Its obnoxious methods, and the publlo will be th gainer without th men who have their money invested in the the ater being the loser. The new combination will certainly have the good wishes of th public to start with. Will th ultimata man go to th theater, or will he have a theater to go to? Is th stag as w know It not llkuly to b eventually extinguished because of the In tellectual development of th race? If th course of th theater from th first to th present be taken as a guide, th conclu sion is almost inevitable that future gen erations, no on can say how many ahead, will be without th theater. H. O. Wells, - In on of his Interesting stories. Introduces us to a race of being so developed Intel lectually that they are to all intents and purposes merely Individual brains. Th chief among these was an Immense brain, ' symmetrical and well balanced. He was surrounded by other brains developed along special lines for th performance of spe cific functions; on was given over en tirely to mathematics, another to history, and another to philosophy, and so on Ui rough all the various avenues of mental -activity. In th lowor grades of existence among this Strang race th mental ca pacity was developed to the point that ' made the Individual perfectly useful for the part he was to play In the communal existence, and for no other purpose. An other of the advantages that this race en Joyed was the only solution to th problem of production and distribution ever offered. When th producers had accumulated enough to warrant their disposal, they were not allowed to uselessly encumber the dwelling place of th race, but' were taken to a secluded locality and there put Into a bypnotlo sleep, a state of suspended anima tion, and allowed to remain until their productive efforts were again required by the good of all. The sphere each was to follow waa determined In advance for him, and to thla he was especially trained, his mental and bodily faculties being devel oped In that direction solely. As a result he wss useful along the lines for which he waa intended, and when his active service was not required for the general good he did not become a burden, for he was simply laid aside until wanted again. In our civilisation we hav gone a long ways toward the specialisation of the in way toward the specialization of the In some one of the several elementary opera tions that go to the making up of th whole, and having learned todo that one thing, they are kept at It year after year, a dreary monotony of doing the same . thing over and over again, until they are supplanted by th elimination of their share of the general operation of produc tion, or hav gotten ahead of the consump tive demand. Then they are quit apt to become burdens on the race as a whole. W haven't yet learned to put them aside In a way that will terminate temporarily their animate existence, to call them back when their services may again be of avail. This latter need hardly give us worry, for we haven't quit exhausted the possibilities of th specialist, nor has the all-around man gone entirely out of vogue. Yet th tendency Is such that not only will th Jack of all trades vanish from among his kind, but the specialist will reach that point where th division of tusks or under takings Is no longer possible, and th struggle for supremacy will b given a new aspect. Another of Mr. Wells' creations waa an intelligence of overmastering strength, with a scope of potential effort far beyond that of man's finite mentality; man could grasp the effect, but not the cause. This one was weak In that it could not exist under the conditions that sur round man, and fell a victim to the on slaughts of the parastles that humanity ' successfully combats. Its Intelligence has been developed under such conditions as gave it no experience with th bacteria Morning gray Feeling blue Taste dark brown Memory black Don't, be green Use your wit Take a Red Raven (split) In a wink Condition pink gat Ml everyaaere frke Us and bacrill that Infest all things with which man baa to do save boiled water that has not yet oome Into contact with th atmos phere. Mr. Wells Is not alone In his conception of his supernal Intelligence. Mystic bf fore him hav dreamed of Immor tality and omniscience, and of ths possibil ity, even of the probability, of man develop ing to that state where he "shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." All speculation as to th ultimata man leads In th general direction of mental development at the ex pense of th body, to the end that In time man will b a creature of the intellectual alone, with no bodily emotions or aenna tlons beyond th most meager to consider, and will be beyond th reach of such sub terfuges or expedients as now stir his na ture or arouse him to action. . Ultimate man winb very likely to be devoid of Imagination; ha will hav wrested from nature her last secret, and, master of all that Is to be known, will be deprived of th pleasure of reaching out for th un knowable, or seeking to frame some con crete and tangible conception of th un known. Without Imalnatlon, he will deal olely with facts; he will have attained that unfortunate oondttlon of absolute rest, because nothing will b left for dim to discover, and thus he will have no spur to activity. Possessed of all knowledge, and master of all conditions, he will b the most miserable of creatures, for past, present and future will all be alike to him. a deadly waste of monotonous certainty, unvaried by sensation or surprise. Ulti mata man will hav none of the present day limitations to contend against, nor will he know th rapturous Joy of th inventor or discoverer, nor th eager anticipation with which th world of waiting mind hangs on th snnouneement that another step has been made Into the darkuess In which we now grope. Ultimata man la not to be en vied, if speculation aa to his probable con dition be even approximately correct. What haa this got to do with the theater, or how does the theater In any way tend to establish th fact that ultimate man will be without his Intellectual pleasures even If he has absorbed all that Is and Is to be known? Simply this: Reduced to Its final analysis the stage is a place where our Imagination Is stimulated, where our fancy Is tickled and where our emotions, either elementary or of the higher degree, are. appealed to and called into activity. Just as man has advanced, so the theater has made progress. Each forward step in civilisation has been marked In some de gree by an advance In stage methods and attributes. And man's course Is more and more toward the concrete. With the dif fusion of knowledge comes the turning of the Imagination to more practical things, and the poetry and romance of life Is lost amid the solemn march of protentous facts. Maurice Maeterlinck not very long ago went so far as to say that even God had been eliminated from human calcula tions, and seriously propounded the state ment that the drama, of the future would deal with questions as practically deter mined, eliminating the essence of unreality that permeates all the works of past writ ers. This conclusion may be somewhat In advance of general thought, but It haa something of weight behind It. Man has long since ceased to attribute to the agency or interference of the supernatural that which la not Immediately explicable; nowa days we seek an explanation of any phe nomenon, no matter where exhibited, in such facts as we have at hand and by ap plying' our limited knowledge of nature'a operations we come to an understanding more or less lucid without ascribing the demonstration to a direct manifestation of the approval or displeasure of one or many gods. This la with all due regard to the course of the Russians, who sent ikons to Manchuria when they should have sent soldiers. Mankind still ascribes to the Deity all the attributes claimed for him in the beginning, but seeks or the solution of strange or unusual happenings In a more practical way than was once the custom. ' With this freedom t thought has come a demand for exactness and accuracy of statement that Is respected by all who make any pretense to Intellectual attain ment Writers of drama or fiction must now be as absolutely correct in their es sential premises as the mathematician. Bhakespeare was permitted to land one of his heroines on the seacoast of Bohemia; Bcott, wasn't it, who killed a character In one chapter and resurrected him a little later, when he was needed? George Eliot had a carpenter put the panels Into a door after he had completed the frame,, and, in deed, a long list of anachronisms of this sort might be cited, yet these will suffice. Music and Musical Notes YIE same Idea Is gradually being reached . in the summer musical field that baa come to some of us In the matter of summer read ing. Sojourners used to take a stack of cheap novels along with them for solace during their vacation. Now it ia rather the fashion to attack Fisk or Maeterlinck or some other writer really worth while. For when is one more com fortable than In the loose habiliments of exceeding hot weather? Why should not an easy chair and a bit of brcese conspire toward concentration Instead of laslness? The world surely moves and we are all get ting different and better notions about things. The following comment from the Chicago Tribune gives a little summary of the history of hot weather music. Theodore Thomas appears as a prophet In a new field. What a wonderful man he was! He seemed to see years and years ahead. This season his -Idea of beautiful summer music seems to have come to pass In his adopted city. Perhsps some day Omaha will arrive at a point which will warrant the services of a good orchestra the year round. (Wlik'h reminds me that even good bands are minus In the public parks this year.) : Nearly half a century ago Theodore Thomas undertook to give summer mualo to New York City. His Central prk Har den conceits, while seemingly popular, ware not financially profitable. They con tinued through several years, and were maintained because they were part of his scheme of higher music, and to carry out that scheme It was necessary to keep his orchestra together by giving it employ ment the year round. Summer music was abandoned, however, iu New York, when Mr. Thomas decided to Come to Chicago. His decision to come was largely based upon his experiences with summer music in the exposition building cuncerts. Appar ently popular as there were, and enjoy able as they always were, stu tney were also financially unprofitable, though they helped to Ingratiate Mr. Thomas to such an extent Willi lovers of good muslo In Chicago that it led to his permanent resi dence, and that led, In a manner familiar to all, to his securing a permanent, en dowed and pensioned orchestra in Its own home be tor his labors anally ceased. Th summer season of music, however, has not had permanent prospects either In New York or hlvago until bow. In the former city it loons as If it uilglit be a reg ular feature In the future. In Chicago the prospect is still more favorable. There are now seven aeries of summer concerts going on prosperously at the White City, the Sans Bouci, Ui Coliseum, the Casino, the foiamarck garden, Klvervlew and KavUila park. At each of tiieae resorts there ar dally concerts, not by scratcli organisa tions, but by high class bauds, t'hlcaga has contributed four of them, and Cincin nati. New York and Germany one each. At five of these places there are no extra aitiactlous except of a social nature. Uiulii U the wain cUartn, At the other two t What writer could do that In this day and withstand the storm that would surely assail him? And yet w cheerfully excuos Shakespeare because of the delight he af fords us In other directions, and we never worry about Bcott'a lapses, or Oeorge Eliot's lack of skill aa a mechanic But ws wouldn't let a modern writer off that easily; If he falls in any of the severe tests we apply to him, we simply consign him to the Umbo of the Impossible, and that ends It. Ill story or his play must come up to the standard or It Is hopeless. After that we will take It up with him on other lines, and as he Interests us, either to amusement or Instruction, he Is given credit. But even before plausibility ha t must give us accuracy. We have passed the era of make-believe. In no quarter of the tartb do griffins abound, no belt of .fire cuts us off any longer from wandering at will about the sphere, and in no place do we encounter men who carry their heads under one or the other arm. Having brought nature to that state of subjection where we may demand from her her Inner most secrets, we have destroyed the fabric of which dreams were made, and must now depend on skill In turning tested elements Into Instructive or entertaining forms for our literature. And the stage, more, than ever, Is expected "to hold, aa 'twere th mirror up to nature." If this is so In our times, when so much still remains to be determined. Is ft at all unreasonable to expect that the man of the future, to whom all things will have been revealed, shall have passed beyond the condition where he can experience either emotion or sensation? And, having reached this condition, will not the agencies that merely serve to stimu late the emotions have fallen into the dis use that marks the passing of the obso lete? Coral- Event. "Brother Against Brother" will be the of fering for the first half of the present week, beginning with a -matinee today, by the Ferris Stock company at the Boyd theater. This is one of the best plays that haa been presented by this excellent company this summer, and ought to prove Immensely popular. The full strength of the company will be represented In the oast. some Actor Stories. Tom Lewis, who is now famous aa the detective in "Little Johnny Jones" was for many yeara a shining light in minstrelay. Th other night at the College Inn Tom waa telling a crowd of friends some of hU early experiences. "I suppose some of you have been to Petersburg, Vs.,, remarked Lewis. "Well, this happened there. Now If there Is a hot hole on earth on a hot day, Petersburg Is It I was with the George Wilson minstrels at the time, and we had a manager who loved to do more walking on a street parade than any other man I ever knew. Well, this waa one of Peters burg's hottest days and after passing down the main street on parade we turned to the left and was soon lost to view In the suburbs of the town. All the boys wera dead sore, still our manager, who headed the parade, kept on walking In an absent minded way till we must have been a mile, from town, and for ten minutes had not passed a living soul. Finally a man hove In view and In open-eyed amasement viewed us as we approached As we got alongside he yelled at Daniels, for that was our man ager's name: " 'HI there. Mister, what society Is this parading?' " The 8ons of Poor Parents, or we wouldn't be here,' I yelled back to him. "I thought so," he shouted at us. Th plcnio grounds is two miles further out. Keep straight ahead till you come to the mile post and turn to the right.' "This seemed to wake Daniels out of hi trance. With streaming faces and dusty clothes we were soon back at th hotel. But wa were known as 'The Sons of Poor Parents' ever afterward, and that Is what every minstrel show Is called by the natives when they go to Petersburg, Va." Mansfield still loveshts surprises, and he is more and more generous with them. Four months ago it was Moltere's "Misan thrope." No one had ever heard him men tion play or part until the day on whloh he told us that he was making both ready. A few weeks later he repeated the surprise by his fidelity to the play and by the power and pungency of his acting In his own part of Alceste. For next year he haa been hinting at "King Lear," "Macbeth," a dramatisation of a novel and half a dozen Other plays. Now Schiller's "Don Carlos" Is the actual choice. Evidently Mansfield has been reading the classics and finding that they have a curious trick of keeping themselves alive, no matter. In what neg lected quiet they may He, "Don Carlos," there are acorea of attractions, but the muslo Is not neglected. At the White City, for Instance, the concerts on pleasant even ings draw larger audiences than any of the concessions. It Is also agreeable to note that while ample attention is paid to light niuslo of the rag-time and two-step, and musical comedy sort (It Is worth while to hear what the "concert band assemble! from the Theodore Thomas orchestra" can do with the "Tenderfoot," "Nordland" and "The Bhogun"), the better rlass of musio la' not neglected. At all seven of the re sorts there are "Wngiier nights" and "classical nights," and "symphony nights," and the audiences are as large and quite as enthusiastic over symphonic movements and suites as over "Navajo" or "Teasing." It looks as If summer mimic had come to Stay. Musicians will hall the prospect with delight, for it will give them work the year round. Pleasure seekers will be satisfied, as It will provide a new source of enter tainment. 4 e There are ever so many people In America who remember Alice Nellsen when she used to be with the Bostonlans. She has been studying abroad for several years. and the last season or two has been singing In London, both at Covent Garden and the new Waldorf. Her voice has developed and broadened. She now ranks with the really great singers. Miss Nellsen will make a tour of the United States next winter in cencerL At a theatrical benefit not long ago Wil liam Courtlelgh gave this toast: "Here's to music, which puts Joy In the soul and nothing In the pocket When It la good It 'isn't liked, and when it's popular it'a ro te n." , Th following program was sent me by Mrs. It.

It ts familiar encuKh at the Irving Place, but there th occasional per formances of It hav been very much In the day's work. Acting and setting have been routine, with only a chance touch of dis tinction or power. Mansfield, if. his plans hold. Intends to mount the play as he mounted "Henry V," "Rlehsrd III" and "Julius Caesar," so that It shall suggest the somber Bpsin of Philip II and the sixteenth century. May his company sugtrcst their parts, some of . which ar well worth the playing as muchl As for the sctor himself, he will have a character after his own heart in Carlos. It flames Into strength. It shrinks Into weak ness. There Is the nervous, fitful perver sity In It that he likes so well. The traits . can all be put Into high, sharp lights and shaded with endless details. There are "points" Innumerable." And think of his voice rolling through the sonorous sweep of Schiller' verse I Reginald De Koven, who composod "Elysla" foi D Wolf Hopper, Is one of the few musicians In America whose work has made him Independently wealthy. De Koven owns property both In New York and Washington. A goodly part of his for tune waa earned by "Robin Hood," which, by the way, Is about to have its first per formance In Paris, but he profited largely by "The Fencing Master," "The Three Dragoons" and "The Highwayman." This last opera la now being sung In Vienna," Mr. De Koven recently made a contract with the Shuberts by the terms of which they are to produce "one of his works each year at the Lyrlo theater. New York. "Elysla" will be offered In that house some time in September. The people of the south are strong In their allegiance to the memory of their great generalB who fought and bled under the stars and bars," said Jess Dandy of the "Prince of Pllsen" company the other day. "I was chatting with an old confed erate during the recent reunion as to the greatest military leaders of the world. The gentleman of the south strongly main tained that the so-called rebel chieftains were the greatest In the world for bravery and knowledge of military tactics. Just for the sake of argument, I suppose; I said that Moses was the greatest leader of them all. " 'Moses!' cried the battle-scarred hero. 'Why, he won't no soldier; he was a law maker.' " "Yes, I replied, 'but he was a great general, too. Didn't he lead the armies of Israel through the wilderness for forty years?' " 'Shucks, that ain't nothln,' retorted the man of the south. 'Stonewall Jackson could beat him all hollow. Didn't he lead his army out of the wilderness in three days?' " Gossip from Stag-eland. Rehearsals for "Bankers and Brokers," the new musical play in which Yorke and Adams will star, have ulready commenced. Joseph W. Herbert, Jr., bus been ensured for "The Belle of the West" and will be seen in the character -of a-Chlnaman next season. , A magasne editor sent a letter to Sam Bernard asking him to write them 800 words on the topic, "The Worst Day I Re member." Mr. Bernard laconically replied, "The worst day 1 remember la the one I am trying to forget." The Omaha Opera company, tinder the direction of Edward Norman Kent, has commenced rehearsals for their coming season's work. The "Pirates of Pensance, by Gilbert and Sullivan, Is the opera, and tills Is, to be succeeded by "The Mascot." B. E.K Forrester will have three musical attractions on the road next season, and has already 1W people under contract. He will star Florence Bindley in a new musical comedy entitled "The Belle of the West;" Yorke and Adams in a luntasua musical comedy, under the title of "Bankers and Brokers." and Jesse Mae Hall in Hall Reid's musical-drama "The Street Singer." All these plays are booked for Omaha and will be seen during the coining season. "Fenrls, the Wolf," the poetlo tragedy by Percy MucKaye lately published by the Macmillan company, was written as a com mission fur Mr. E. H. Sot hern, owing to his subsequent contract to act Shakes pearean plays with Miss Marlowe, the stag ing of "1'enrls" was postponed. It is Mr, Sothern's intention, however, to produce Mr. MacKaye's tragedy at the expiration of his Shakespeare contract, and lie is al ready taking preliminary steps for its pro duction. Mr. Manuel Klein la undertaking the music and Mr. Karl of. London the cos tumes. VThe Woman In the Case" In which Blanch Walsh is to appear here early in the season concerns people and events of the fash ionable social circles of New York, and consequently the gowns worn by the prin ciple female characters will be of consider able - interest to local playgoers. The dresses worn by Muss Walsh are said to be as unique as they are resplendent. They are made and designed by the famous Mrs. Osljorn, whose establishment in New York is familiar to the feminine mind through out America. Miss Walsh's wardrobe for this play Is said to have 'cost several thou sand dollars. Other .notable gowns will tie worn by Miss Dorothy Dorr, who made one of the big hits of tlio play in New York, and also by the bridesmaids who y ill be played by Grace Gibbons, Jean Pali'lquin and Miss Katherlne Bell. Viola Allen Is to present a new pVy by riyde Fitch in this city early in the com iiig season. The details regurding this drama have not been revealed, yet there has been no unusual secrecy in the mat ter. Mr. Pitch has always desired that no particulars regarding any of his plays should be dlvulned before production. Even the name decided on for the play for Miss Allen has not been made known. This, oddly, will be Miss Allen's first appearance In a Fitch play; but It does not mean that the actress has relinquished her purpose as planned for the future, to present oilier Pluys by Shakespeare.

Walter of York, Pa., was watching a game of base ball when her right leg was struck and fractured by a base ball. The fracture waa not discovered until several days after the accident and it will now b necessary to perform an operation. . According to the censua Of New York Just completed more than SO per cent oi the Inhabitants of that city were born out side the Empire state or In foreign coun tries. This information has been somewhat of a shock to the average native-born Gothamlt. On a temporary bridge made of a few planks, a New York bride and groom re cently crossed from one housetop to another to escape the cheerful attentions of their friends and acquaintances. Fortunately they made the Journey successfully, but they certainly took long chances of beoom Ina; martyrs to the waggish assininlty or the merry wedding guests. "Nothing doing" seems modern enough; Is It slang? In the "Creevy Papers' there is a letter written to Thomas Creevy by a l)r. Currle, dated May 1, 1803. He is referring to Napoleon: "We are all cursed flatt here about the spunnet negotiations. Nothing doing. Everything stagnated. We shall have war, because It is Just the most ab surd thing In creation." Perhaps the moBt Ingenious suggestion yet made for the acquirement of the self confidence that Is the first necessity In learning to swim has been offered by a writer to the New York Bun. The beginner. Instead of. trying to keep on top of the water, goes out where It isn't deep enough to drown him and tries to sit down on the bottom a process that soon shows him that it Is much easier to rise up than to stay down, "One of my traveling companions," aaya a Kansas man, writing from Ireland to the Kansas City Journal, "Is a mnn who chews tobacco, and he had neglected to lay In a supply before leaving America. No one else used the weed that way and there was no help for him. The Irish chew and smoke the same plug tobacco, very dry and not tasting like American tobacco. For a week my friends had been looking through shops trying to find something that would touch tho spot. Last night soon after reaching KUlarney he came to me greatly excited and said, 'Hurry, the finest scenery since we left home.' Away we went down the narrow street, and he led me up to a win dow In which was a familiar sign of a brand much chewed In America." AMUSEMENTS.
