pabul'-.m afforded by Mr. Mantel) and his
nssirlates. That probably explains the
condition that prevailed as well as anything
could.
Whatever Mr. Mantell's visit might have
lacked In success from the box office point
of view, It was certainly a glittering tri
umph from the standpoint of the stage
manager. Much discussion has been had
as to Shakespeare with scenery and stage
ottlnps. Surely the magnificent pictures
designed by the poet never had more ap
propriate or effective settings than were
afforded In this Instance. The various
scenes were set with correct backgrounds
and were richly appointed In all regards,

through a railroad mishap, and came to
Omaha on Monday more or less disfigured.
It was Impossible to Install the scenlo
paraphernalia of the organisation In time
for Monday night, and an Impromptu sec
ond part was added to the program. On
the other appearances the spectacular ora
torio of "The Resurrection" was carried
out to the satisfaction of large crowds.
Mr. Qlllan expressed himself as well
pleased with the results of the week, un
der the circumstances. As to the street
fair, the figures published elsewhere are
with heart Interest from beginning to end.
No play of Its kind possesses a stronger
plot or more sensational Incidents. The
serious element Is mingled with comedy,
forming a combination that never falls to
touch a responsive chord In the hearts of
playgoers.
For two nights and Wednesday matinee,
starting Tuesday night, "The Hand of Man'
will be the attraction at the Krug theater.

The failure of the latter play has

Miss Nella Bergen has decided to retire
from vaudeville after completing the en-
fagements already made by her munager,
lenrv B. Harris, who Intends to present her
at the head of her own company In a new
romantic opera by Stanislaus Stange and
John Philip Sousa. Miss Bergen found the
task of singing three operatic srlos twice
a day to be more of a strain than she had
anticipated and will enjoy a brief vacation
until rehearsals of the opera for It will be
presented In January Instead of April, as
previously announced.
The fact that Henry H. Harris has se
cured the dramatic rights of Sir Gilbert
Parker's "Pierre and His People" stories
has given rise to the report that Mr. Ede
son was to abandon William C. de Milie's
play of "Strongheart," In which he has
soored the greatest success of his career.
Mr. Edeson will continue In "Strongheart"

dramatic attraction of the winter season
