In a manner the artistic atmosphere of
which Is surcharged with endeavor and
effect that Is in many regards the sublima
tion of art, Mr. Richard Mansfield last
night presented for the first time In Omaha
a tragedy that Is most depressing In Us
somber attitude. It has not a joyous note,
the nearest approach to humor being the
Ironical address of a boy, goaded to des
peration, to a butcher bent on a bloody
errand. It ia more depressing than "Ivan
the Terrible," , for In that we see but a
bloody tyrant tottering to a doom he wall
deserved. In "Don Carlos" we see the
light crushed out of two young lives, and
finally see tho lives themselves delivered
over to torture. AH for the vanity of a
monarch of whom soberest history can re
count only deeds of blood, of Intrigue and
of treachery. Schiller" poetry, Mansfield's
art, nor the glamour of romance that has
by him in his effort to maintain his own
conception of the holy faith. His son,
Carlos, was little If any better than his
father; he was but a boy at death, but
had already shocked even the hard
ened courtiers of Madrid by his excesses.
Ehunned alike for Ms cruelty and treach
ery as for his indecency .and wickedness,
he died unwept a.id went early to a grave
that has been forgotten save by historians,
who note him as incident' In the career of
the most detestable tyrant the world ever
knew. Bo much for the truth of history.
logical sequence, until the structure of
terror, like the climax of "Ivan," over
whelms both actor and auditor. it Is
tremendous In its effect.
One gets a little toucli of Karl Heinrlch
and something of Otto In Don Carlos, but
only as boys resemble, and as their fond
ness in love resembled. The various moods
are carefully differentiated and the results
are achieved with a marvelous accuracy.
Yet the story Is sorrowful In Its every
aspect, and the unfolding of its episodes
Is not In the least productive of merriment.
Romance has taken only such liberties I It Is a pitiful tale of a lamentable, tragedy,
with facts as necessity suggests. The
morass of intrigue In which King Philip
was hopelessly bogged Is only partly Illus
trated by the developments of the drama.
Tho denouement is purely apochryphal,
but little doubt exists that Philip would
have turned his son or his wife or any
ono else connected with him over to the
Holy Inquisition If such person had In
curred his royal displeasure.
I.Ir. Mansfield finds some difficulties In
his way; It Is not easy to endow Carlos
with the attributes of youth, such 'as en
thusiasm, hope, the strong yearning for a
friend who may be trusted and loved, for
the confidant so dear to every young man,
and, realizing these, to further embody
that wisdom so essential to one In his
isolated position- It Is probably In the
subordination of the latter qualification
that Mr. Mansfield most nearly embodies
the character ho assumes. He runs head
long to his fate; his young mind Is unable
to foresee the meshes closing on him, and
he Is hopelessly netted. Prudence wonld
have fled without the farewell visit. Love
and a trust that wisdom . would have
scoffed at took him to the garden where
he was delivered over by his father to the
most relentless tribunal that ever sent
victims to torture and death. Such sus
picion as Carlos exhibited was a very
Mr. Richard Mansfield explained to a
reporter fur The Hee Friday afternoon, his
Ideas regarding a national theuter. The
subject was brought up by the news from
New York that a definite move had been
made there towards something of the kind.
The foremost actor of the American stage
possessed only meagre Information about
the matter, however, and was not in a
position to discuss the concrete project.
It was plain from what he said, that,
bating his conclusions on the little he had
heard, lie Is nut In accord with the scheme.
He had no aversion to giving his opinion
on the subject generally.
"I have contended for a national theater
for a long time," said he, standing Just
outside his private car at the Union sta
tion, gloved and carrying a stick, about
to start on his daily walk. "But, you
understand, anv Idea of making money
must be divorced from a national theater.

It whose object Is to make money out
of It.
Management of the Theater.
"Tho American national theater should
be governed as far as the annual produc
tion of plays is concerned by a literary
board comprising the best minds In the
country and Including the presidents of the
universities.
' The financial side of the enterprise
should be In the hands of a board of
trustees, appointed In the first pi. ice by
the founders and thereafter by the presi
dents of the universities.
"The director or nctlng chief should bo
elected by the people, and, after the lit
erary board has decided uion the plays
to be produced each season, his decision

duction should be final. The elections could

"The members of the acting company
should be elected by the literary board.
Any uctor, that is to say actor or actress,
remaining an active memlwr of the na

titled to a pension from the national
tin ater fund. All profits from perform
ances given by tho national theater should
go to the fund.

morning named us his assistants to conduct
the canvass of the vote cast last Tuesday
Attorney Charles Kubat, republican, and
Thomas Harrington, democrat. The three
at once began the opening of tho sealed

Owing to the fact that County Clerk

This was done before any of the other

Mr. Mansfield looks ruddy and strong nnd
exudes energy and force with every word
and gesture. When the repovter railed at
his car he was dressing for his afternoon
walk and the newspaper man waited In the
bright sunshine outside. In a little while
the uctor appeared faultlessly attired. Al
most before the reporter could explain who
he was and what was wanted the actor
bowed and remarked that he had censed
tnlklng for publication.
"Why?" he was questioned on the In
stant. The first of a large number of smiles
lighted Mr. Mansfield's face. "Well," he
explained, "I have found It a dangerous
practice, do you know. Positively danger
ous and likely to get a man into trouble.

"The Bee."
"Ah, yes, that Is Mr. Rosewnter'8 paper.
I wish you would express my compliments
to him. The Bee has been very kind to

It was still Insisted that an interview
should be forthcoming. The actor prodded
the sod with his stick, climbed up on a
mound at the end of a truck and then
climbed down again, after remarking It
looked like a grave. Then declared he
could not talk because there really was
nothing to talk about. Then the subject
of the national theater crept into the talk
and Mr. Mansfield found he had a subject
In which he was glad to discuss with
Interest.

Incidentally, he suld, he is not in any

Ho t-aid that this was final and absolute
and that he had no personal consideration
In the matter at all. He had never re
garded a national theater in the light of a
government institution or having any con
nection with the government. He had not
considered the subject In this phase at all.
There were a number of things the actor
said which he labeled "out of the conversa

extreme liking for the west and the people
of the. west. He did not go Into flattery.
and the way he mentioned the partiality
was expressed so there could be no doubt
of his sincerity.

discomforting experience of tailing to tho
bottom of a s venty-iivc-foot well. This
i hapjiened last Thursday evening and lied
refused to speak to anyone except his
young master yesterday. Ho is only a
year old, und he has not reached tho dls
. cretlon of sober doghood yet. Earl Glover
i took his dog to visit some friends, children
of William Z. Osburn, 8308 Iarlmnre ave
nue. D-uru g the afternoon Red made tha
acquaintance of a cat In the usual bluff
manner of a youthful dog. The cat re
fused to take up with acquaintances of tha
street and ran away, and Red loped along
behind. The speed rapidly increased and
the cat In des;air looked for a place to
climb a tree. There was no treo handy,
bo she run up on the stanchion of Mr. Os
burn's well curb. The cat was so clots
In front, and the chase was so delightful
that the thoughtless pointer sprang straight
through the air at the top of the stanchion.
In another second he disappeared, with a
despairing yelp, tail downward. Into tha
seventy-flve-foot well.
How he managed to keep from "kicking
the bucket" that hung in the well he has
been reticent about telling, but he soon
let his master know that he had landed.
Howls arose from the depths that went
straight to his master's heart. Mr. Os
burn happened to be at home and tha
cries of the children soon brought him to
the curb. With the aid of ropes, grappling
hooks and other paraphernalia, the dog
was finally rescued.
