THE OMAHA DAILY DEE: SUNDAY. OOTOHET? 1. 1905.
About Plays, Players and Playhouses
El
AST week wu notable for nothing
In Omaha. Aside from the
rellent performance at the Uur-
Jl wood theater of "A Roynl Fam
ily by the Woodward Stork com
pany, the attractions offered were not such
. made any d-p or lnstlng Impression on
the public. Tim Murphy's annual visit
only served to aecentunte the difficulty un
der which that amiable and Industrious
comedian is working-. He has tried play
aftof play during th last ten or twelve
years, and has drawn blank after blank.
It cannot rightly be charged to the player,
for he Is likeable, and he Is well liked.
He has a quiet, quaint way all his own.
He differs In a degree from the great
comedians of his class who have gone to
th other side. John T. Raymond was one
of these, and YV. J. Florence, with Barney
M&cauley and John Dillon (the latter not
yet demised), as fine representatives of a
school almost extinct. Mr. Murphy's meth
ods are Just as artistic, perhaps more so,
as those of his predecessors. Ho tries
earnestly and with a never relaxing teal,
but he has as yet failed to scale the heights
of popular approval, and his clientele. Is
still restricted to a rather thin stratum
of people who cling to old-fashioned Ideas
of comedy.
How many people remember John T. Ray
mond In "The Glided Age," or Billy Flor
ence In "The Almighty Dollar," or Barney
Macauley In 'Tncle Dan"l," or John Dillon
In "Our Candidate?" Just see the old eyes
snap, and some that are not so old, as the
uproarious scenes of those well remembered
plays are recalled. But. how many of you
would go across the street to see one of
them now, unless the dead and gone star
could be called back to present his old part?
Colonel Mulberry Sellers died with Ray
mond. Hon. Bardwell Slote was burled with
Billy Florence, and Uncle Dan'l never made
another trip from Jarvls Section after
Barney Macaoley washed "the mud" off his
face for the last time. It Is also somewhat
to be feared that with these died also the
public taste for that peculiar kind of com
edy. Tim Murphy doesn't exactly belong to
the school of comedian here represented,
nor does he rank with Russell, Jefferson
and Robson. His place Is somewhere be
tween, and he has as yet failed to stamp
his personality strongly, on any character,
unless It was that of Maverick Brander.
It may be that his success in this Hoyt
farce has haunted him. He Is certainly
capable of better things. In his quiet, un
obstruslve way, he reminds one strongly
of some of the great comedians of the
American stage, and yet he seems to lack
Just the one essential, the "Promethean
spark," that Is to make his success glow
with the life of reality. Mr. Murphy has
the virtue of persistence, and In time
will probably encounter the play that will
In future years be lndissolubly coupled with
his name, as Noah Vale Is with Bol Smith
Russell, Bertie VanAlstyne with Stuart
Robson, and Rip Van Winkle with Joe
Jefferson.
rubllc taste Is changing. That Is the
verdict from the east. People are tiring of
the nonsense tale, even when It Is garnished
with the catchy music, the witty song, and
the whole Is fringed with the beautiful girls
In fetching costumes that are frequently
all byt no costumes. The musical comedy
IS not doomed, but It Is warned to reform.
It must offer something more than mere
mirth, careless mirth, to attract the public.
This la not to be wondered at. For several
seasons, five at least, the public has been
surfeited .with cream puffs and "sweetened
wjnd" in the way of musical productions,
and has followed where the chorus girl led,
until now the reaction seems at hand. .This
may mean several things, but one thing it
surely does. Amusement must be furnished;
the situation doesn't Indicate that the peo
ple are more than ever Inclined, to thought,
but that they have discovered hat too
much of a good thing is equal td "suffl
clsnoy" and that something different Is de
manded. This Isn't the first time the public
has deserted a particular style of play. The
passing of the old-time comedies with the
old-time comedians Is an instance. Hoytlan
comedies had their day, and the French
farce had a brief but feverish trial before
the American people. Musical comedy came
like an inspiration In the wake of this, and
combining some elements of light opera
with other elements of farce comedy seemed
to fairly touch the spot. It has simply been
overdone, and now the public is drifting
away. Verily, "It don't seem like the same
old smile."
What will come next? Who cares to pre
dict? Whatever It Is, it must not be too
heavy, and It must embody practically the
same elements that are found In the form
of amusement that Is now being rejected.
Some hardworking person will alight on
the combination one of these fine days, and
his formula will bring him much fame. He
will have a host of Imitators, and the coun
try wilf be happy again In the possession
of a fad In the way of dlvertisment. In the
meantime the serious aspect of the thea
ter's activity la In nowise endangered by
this attitude of public sentiment. Musical
comedy doesn't represent thouglft, but
rather the lack of It.
The patronage bestowed on the Burwood
so far has been such as to more than Jus
tify the establishment of a permanent stock
company In such attractive quarters In
Omaha. At present that theater la the
most popular and beet patronised In
Omaha. This is due to tho excellence of
the organisation from an acttn? standnntnt
and the care with which the production of '
the plays is looked after. Mesnrs. Wood- i
wara A nurgess are exceptionally fortunati
th securing a man with the ability and dis
criminating Judgment of Mr. Long to di
rect the presentation of the plays offered
at this theater and to have the general
direction of the company. Mr. Iung has
had long experience in the handling of
plays of all aorta, and in addition to a coin,
preheneivo knowledge of the technique of
the stage, he adds the further qualifica
tion rf being an actor of some ability. His
artistic perceptions are llnely developed
and his arrangement cf the scenes Is al
ways in exedlrnt taste, while his man
agement of the company is such as to get
the best work out if each of Its members.
He Is at pitaent dlr-cting a well balanced
organisation and la winning for hints. If
new praise as a successful stage director.
The following oriatnal thought on the
tackiness of luckless thirteen was given
sennet form by Vivian Burnett, son of
Mrs. Fsances Hodgson Burnett, and dedi
cated to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mansfield
on the thirteenth anniversary of their wed
ding: To mom eternal from his nattl day.
Pour luckless Thirteen seemed by fate
cor.elgr.ed,
In every breath denied by humankind.
By brother numbers ahrunned at work or
play.
I never iiw him, but his cheeks, ash gray,
And trs that did his dumb eyes nearly
blind.
And furrowed brow and quivering Up
combined
The pinch i ( his heart's anguish to betray
Kut once.
This morn I found him radiant faod.
(His dimpling mouth did Pleasure's self
possersi
Enthroned midst Mattering brothers
crowded thick;
"Full recompense," cried tie to me, "I
taste
'TIS mine to mark a year of happiness
That Hymen grants to bvatrlce and
Dick.
Woman la still extending her sphere of
activity, and now has Invaded the realm of
the stage manager. Last season when la
Omaha Miss Gertrude Haynes told cf her
Intention of taking out this aeasoa troupe
In which all the work allotted to men
usually should be performed by women.
Whether she has made good on her promise
has not yet been disclosed. Maybe she has
employed a woman for an advance agent
and Is getting ready to surprise us. But
here Is a story W. L. Hubbnrd tolls In Sun
day's Tribune:
And what has the coming of wntnin Into
the theater world accomplished? Though
made an outcast by her temerity when first
she became an actress, she, by her presence
and her talents, -has helped more than any
other force to raise the player profession to
one of honor In the world. She compelled
respect for herself and her abilities; she
made the majority of her male associates
In the theater so behave that society came
to respect them and their achievements. In
management she has shown herself com
petent, and with that competentness and
her feminine dignity has compelled recogni
tion from all around her. And into the box
office sh has Introduced a courtesy which
frequently In the past was sadly wanting.
Her representatives In the show girl and
chorus maiden line have not always been
greatly to the credit of her sex nor bene
ficial to the etae. But there are slight in
dications that the worst period of the In
vasion of these undesirables Is past. And
It is not Impossible that the newly appeared
woman stage manager may help also toward
the bettering of the show girl condition.
Woman's presence ss a coworker In the
business world unquestionably has Improve!
that world so far as dignity and politeness
In language, bearing and manners are con
cerned. She may accomplish as much for
the stage. And there Is room for an im
provement. The daring woman who has forced her
way Into the closed domain of the stage
manager of musical comedy Is named Hoff
manGertrude Hoffman. She Is a miss, Is
still young and Is described as "a slender
little woman with a wealth of blonde hair
and large blue eyes." She began her career
as a dancer In San Francisco, where she
was a member of the Csstle Square Opera
company. One day the ballet mistress was
taken ill Just before rehearsal, and Miss
Hoffman volunteered to direct the practice.
The manager of the troupe consented and
she "made good." Later she came eastward
and In New York she assisted In the re
hearsing of some of the numbers In the
shows In which she appeared. After a time
she gave up her work as a dancer and de
voted herself to the staging of short
sketches. "Tunch, Judv and Company" and
"When We Are Forty-One" were put on by
her lant summer in New York, and she was
directing "Me, Him and I" when Marie
Cahlll sent for her and gave her full charge
of "Moonshine," the musical comedy in
which the well liked entertainer is to star
this season.
A New York newspaper man who was
present at one of the rehearsals Miss Hoff
man has been holding during the last two
weeks declares that the feminine presence
makes itself felt not only in quiet force
fulness and in the obtaining of all that
Is desired, but in the dignity and courtesy
that prevail. As Is well known, the re
hearsal of a musical comedy, or of any
"show" for that matter, is not the calmest
and most polite proceeding that Is to be
discovered in the world. The stage manager
has the reputation of being a person gifted
with a vocabulary as picturesquely profane
and widely varied as it Is Inexhaustible,
and his temper Is of the fiercest and his
action of the most forceful. This reputation
Is In many Instance fairly well derived,
and often carefully lived up to. There are
exceptions, but 1 The material the
stage manager has to deal with la not al
ways of the most tractable or the most
agreeable. The Influence of conditions pre
"vlous and present, and of former stage
managers, has had Its effect, and the show
girl and chorus girl stand ready to give
as good as is given. The result Is that a
rehearsal la not. always the acme of har
montousness. An old stage manager who
watched one of Miss Hoffman's rehearsals
In New York Is reported to have said It
was "like a pink tea?' Miss Hoffman Intro
duced a word into the rehearsal -vocabulary
which had been obsolete for many a moon.
The word Is "please." Some of the chorus
folks sniffed when first It was spoken.
Some almost fainted, it Is said. But they
became accustomed to It, learned what It
meaut, and according to all reports, did
more for Miss Hoffman and it than they
had done In many a day for the male stage
manager and his large and familiar vocabu
lary. There Is no wish to deify Miss Hoff
man, neither Is it known what sort of a
stage manager she may be but If her com
ing will result In a bettered condition on
the stuge so far as politeness and courtesy
In language and behavior are concerned her
advent will be most welcome-to all con
cerned. It will Improve some of the people
on the stage, and the public in front may
see the effect in a lessening of the brasen
ness and commonness which now are Home
tlms in evidence despite paint and gorgeous
gowning.
Coming Kvents.
The fair week attraction at the Boyd thea
ter will be Robert B. Mantell, supported by
a splendid cast, appearing In a selected rep
ertoire of classical successes. T.ie eiif-cge-ment
at the Boyd will commence on Sun
day, October 1, with a jumptuous tevlval
of Shakespeare's tragedy, "Richard III,"
and wtll be of one week's duration. This
season the tragedian la under the man
agement of William A. Brady, who has
surrounded his star with a carefully ' se
lected company of players. The cast In
cludes Harry Lelghton, Alfred Ili.iling
worth, Giles Shine, Hamilton B. Motf, Ve
vore Parmer, Laurence Gray, Harry
Keefer, George Gould, George Anderson,
Edwin Foos, Bmlly JDodd. Josephine Mo
Callum. Walter Campbell,. Thomas I .ear,
Belle Theodora, Leila and Lorraine Frost.
Miss Marie Booth Russell Is again leading
woman for Mr. Mantell this season. Dur
ing his engagement In this city his reper
toire will Include "Richard III," "Riche
lieu," "Hamlet" and "Othello." The scenic
lnvesture is magnificent, three carloads of
magnificent scenery and costly parapher
nalia being required. Mantell has again re
gained the goal of his hopes and la now
recognized as a leading tragedian. His
phenomenal successes of last spring at the
Princess theater, New York, where he won
the highest praise from the critics by hia
splendid acting, and his subsequent suc
cesses at Pittsburg and Chicago, are well
remembered by the public.

mm
GEO ROE EVANS AS "BLUTCH"
IN "THE RUNAWAYS" AT
THE KRL'Q THEATER,
roles on the stage, will be seen at the
Krug theater for four nights, starting
with a matinee today. In Hal Reld's play
"The Peddlers." In point of scenic equip
ment no production of the piece In the
past has ever equnllled the one Mr. Welch
presents this season, and the cast has been
selected with the greatest of care, so that
the supporting artists may truthfully be
said to "fit their roles like a glove." Inci
dental to the action of the play, specialties
of the most unique character are intro
duced In a logical way. The Pell street
scene In New York's famous Chinatown Is
one of tho most remarkable Oriental color
scheme effects ever presented on a stage.
In another act the familiar Tammany Hall
headquarters on Fourteenth street are
shown, and other scenes reveal Cooper
Union at night, interior of the peddler's
humble abode, a second-hand clothing
store on Hester street, and the last act
magnificent home on Riverside drive, New
York.
"Honey Boy" George ' Evans, widely
known as a vaudeville headllner, Is playing
the leading part In "The Runaways," which
plays a three day engagement at the Krug
theater, starting next Thursday night.
This finished comedian has a part which
well suits as the scrapegrace In 'The
Runaways" and the critics say he Is filling
the bill as no other person who has essayed
this role. The production which comes to
this city Is the same as that which was
presented In New York. The same brilliant
costuming and elaborate scenic environ
ment are features of the performance and
a number of new musical gems are Intro
duced In connection with the old hits. This
Is the only company out In this musical
comedy and patrons of the Krug theater
will witness "The Runnway" as it originally
appeared at the Casino In New York.
The Burwood will be one of the principal
places for the carnival visitors to spend a
pleasant hour during their stay in the city.
The management has had In mind the needs
of those who come to the city from nearby
towns, and who do not care to spend all
their time In sight seeing and on the
streets. The Woodward Stock company,
which is making its home' at this beauti
ful new theater, Is one of the best balanced,
and certainly the strongest, permanent
organization ever located In Omaha, .and
its success has been most notable. The In
dividual members of the company are al
ready established at local favoritles, and
under the Intelligent and artistic direction
of Manager Long, the plays are being pro
duced with a finish and skill that Is de
lighting large audiences every perform
ance. ' The bill selected for the current
week, beginning with a matinee perform
ance today, Is "Because She Loved Hlin
80," a charming comedy by that well
known actor-author, William Gillette.
This delightful little piece gives the com
pany a fine chance to show Its strength
In another direction, and as cast is sure
to prove as much of a success as those
that have preceded It. The play will be
given every evening during the week, and
at matinees on Sunday, Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday. The prices at the Bur
wood never change.
As the Ak-Sar-Ben attraction for the
week, beginning matinee today, the Or
pheum presents a bill that will appeal to
the visitors from out of the city. Several
most unusual features of the astounding
sort are at the head of the roster. Colonel
Gaston Bordsverry, the expert marksman,
known as the king of firearms, giving an
exhibition of very difficult fancy shots
with a rifle, will be one of the features re
lied upon to create wonderment, while an
other will be Dlda, or "The Creation of
Woman Out of Nothing," an illusion In
which a large glass tank filled with water
is set In view of the audience on the stage,
and after the customary prelude of passes
by the conjuror there appears Immersed in
the water a woman who steps smiling out
onto the stage and Is succeeded mysteri
ously in the water by another woman.
Edmund Day, distinguished as actor and
playwright, and company will present Mr.
Day's latest comedy sketch entitled "The
Sheriff." Violet Dale will give Impersona
tions of Fay Templeton, Anna Held and
other famous actresses. The Cslbulas will
give a musical recital, including numbers
with the cello, violin, piano and voice. Lia
xle Wilson, German dialect comedienne,
with song and story, Les Parlsiennea with
their "Loop the Loop" and other fancy
dances and new klnodrome pictures com
pletes the program.
At the Auditorium this evening John
Philip Bousa, the March king, and his
famous band will be heard In a ooncert, the
engagement being for a single appearance.
Mr. Bousa will conduct the concert, and
in addition to the band will present some
distinguished soloists. Miss Elisabeth
Schiller, soprano; Miss Jessie Straus, vio
linist, and Mr. Herbert L. Clarke, cornet
tist, will be the solo performer for the
