April l. ino. THE OMAHA ILLUSTRATE! BEE. Gossip About Plays, Players and Playhouses w UJARD In three of hi beet bill U an Intellectual treat not en, jored every week at th theater, Tor thi reason the last wee 14 marked with a red iinm ir Omaha. This clever unUamtn, whs has raised hlrhself by sheer fores until he la vsry nearly at ths top of the list of Eng lish actors, continues by unrelenting seat to merit ths distinction that Is bis. HI visit this season Is remarkabls for ths pro duction of ths one-act play, "Ths Man Who Was," la ths presentation of which, w so a nsw Wlllard. It Is ths first seri ous effort of this treat man In ths direc tion of tragedy, and Is taken by him after due consideration of Its meaning Tbs rs ult cannot fall to bs encoure.In to him, for It has been most successful In every way. As a romantic actor and as a come dian Mr. Wlllard had established himself firmly. He has no fairly essayed the at tempt to piece himself In the Ust of rreet actors of the new school, and If his Austin Llmmeion may serve as a basis for opin ion. It Is within reason to predict that his first step, so well taken, will soon bs fol lowsd by others that will see him well ad vanced toward ths greatness that Is un doubtedly his. Most Interesting of all. In his new undertaking Mr. Wlllard has not abated his efforts In ths parts In which ho has been most familiar to us. but his Cyrus Blenkarn and Professor OoodwllU still tand as genuine triumphs of their kind. Ths return of this actor will bs awaited with mors than common Interest hereafter. -' ... Other, features of ths week Inoluded "Ths Hon acd ths Mouse," ths much debated play In which ths problem of great wealth nd Its Industrial, political and social aspects are exploited. This engagement w genuine success. Another was ths appearance at the Orpheum of Miss Valeria Bergero In a compressd version of "Car men." In It Miss Hergers gives again ths strongest evidence of her talent. Bhe baa ths seldom found faculty of stepping on the stage, ready for an Intense scene, with out any of the preliminary preparation of scents that lead up to the situation, and more than this, she Is capable of elevating her audlenoea to that stage of mental ex altation, whers they will live and move with her through ths passions she port trays. Her Carmen Is almost Ideal, her conception of the character being compre hensive, and her portrayal of It satisfying In all regards. Many of her admirers would like to see Miss Bergers take up more serious work than she now Indulges in. Ths discussion engendered, however, has all to do with ths propositions raised by Charles A. Klein In "The Lion and ths Mouse." - Right at the outset, "let us give Mr. Klein credit for being sincere. It would leavo him exposed to a really unpleasant charge If we did not For he Is either sincere In his attack on ths Mor.ey Devil, or he Is beoome the "yellow dramatist," and It seems that Is Impossible. Admitting that he Is sincere, and that he has accomplished something In evidence of his earnestness, what has hs doneT He has merely voiced In mors attractive form the vague and un certain allegations that have been dlnnei) Into our ears by the Irresponsible and frej qtiently unwashed who love to dilate on the rapidity with which our democrat! institutions are dissolving undsr the cor' roolve action of concentrated wealth. He has followed In the footsteps of the yellow Journal and the yellow magaslne, and re iterates ths sweeping charges they hav made. No doubt much of the evil com plained of does exist; but It Is scarcely believable that even Tom Lawson, head of the Hunters of the Octopl, before whose approach the Cohorts of Combined and Corporate Wealth tremble In uncertainty, and at the sound of whose voice the Money Devil grovels In the farthest corner of his Den on Wall Street, would Insist thst It has reached the point at which the Klein discussion takes It up. Politics In the United States Just at present Is held up to be In the worst condi tion imaginable. Stories of graft, and greed, and corruption In high places, and all that sort of thing, have been told us morning, noon and night, until many have made up their minds that It must all be so. Now, without defending graft in any of its modern or ancient manifestations. If some of the mourner who refuse to be comforted because of the conditions would only stop to think for a moment some little consolation might appear. In the first place, not a page of history hss ever been written but shows som of the actors seek ing personal ends through political means. Some of the pages deal with the records of grafters whose exploits make thoas of the must advanced and expert of their mod em prototypes appear amateurish. This, of course, does not excuse the grafter. Because a man stole publlo money a year aero, or a century ago, does not condone theNoffense of the man who stole it only yesterday, or, maybe, has it in mind to steal It tomor row. It only shows that human nature hasn't changed much during all ths ages; but what little change has come has been for the better. Then consider the poli tician's situation. He can only get a nomi nation by defeating a number of members of his own party who aspire for the same place. Then, after he Is nominated, he can only be elected by defeating the candi dates named by one or more opposing parties. Each of these men still want the office, and they know the only way to get It. Is to get the Incumbent out. To do this they must bring forward some proof of his unfitness to bold oMue. As a result eaoh of his official acts Is subject to ths closest of scrutiny by Interested and sealous poli ticians, and to a mors or less minute ex amination by a large number of disinter ested cltlsens. Each community large enough has at least two newspapers, and one of these is certain to be In the opposl Uyn. This means that any time the office holder does anything that deserves criti cism hs Is publicly pilloried. Imagine your self in this position, and figure wnat chanoe you have to go very far wrong and escape exposure. Bear in mind again, and always, that ths cltlien Is primarily responsible for ths gov ernment. Offices in ths United States ar filled at elections, where each male cltlsea of the age of & has a right to express his Choice by ballot. Every step from first to last is taken only by consent of the voters. This means that when you charge the United States senate or the Omaha city council with being dominated by the cor porations, you charge ths voters with be In dominated by the corporations, for ths voters are responsible. And right here lies the truth and the difficulty. The people of the United States hav never taken proper Interest In ths elementary steps that lead to the high place of official trust and re sponsibility. The careless voter 'and the busy man who doesn't you at all are the one responsible for the fact that a Johii Burkstt Ryder can call a United States senator lato his private office and tell hint that a Judg must be removed from hie place on the bench in disgrace and ruin. Cut this column doesu4 pretend to deal with th political situation; It la to discuss tb dramatic, and In som sense th eth ical value of th Klein play. Th Incipi ent uclallatl tendency manifest by Mr. Klein may be or. aide red Incidentally, and ? TML eclflgally, Th ulav I Bui deftly built, being one of sharp contrasts, ths characters being opposed to esch other diametrically, and with little chance of co alition save by the expedient adopted In the antl-cllmactic fourth act, at the ex pense of loglo and good sense. The Intro ductlon of the mouse Into the lion's drn is not so improbable as that the lion at ths end of a short and not especially lnt. mat association with the mouse lost to som extent Its feline nature and became in a like degree Imbued with the retiring qualities of ths Murtdae. Put, In tossing his tub to the whale, Mr. Klein was suf ficiently circumspect to not before doing It that the tub was round and buoyant, and would amuse th whale. H save both the lion and th mouse, by his process. Th crudity of the caricature Is another fea ture. It Is Impossible not to associate th central character of Mr. Klein' play with certain figures that have loomed large In th public eye for many months. John .Burkett Ryder but poorly cover up th personality of John D. Rookefeller: Senator yioherts in th play answers to the nam ef Nelson W. Aid rich In th United State en ate; Shirley Rossmor Is easily Identi fied with Ida Tarbell, and since the play been produced and others of Its person nel hav been sought out and distinguished as rspresentinsT some living person. It would be unfair to withhold from Joseph Medill Patterson his share In the galsxy. Mr. Pat terson has quite sufficiently defied fates and fathers In hi espousal of socialism to war rant being set down as the Jefferson Ryder of th play. Judge Rossmor 1 a little dif ficult to place. -It must be that he is purely a figment of th dramatist's brsln, for memory doesn't recall a recent example of a Judge of the federal court exposing him self to removal from the benoh for the cause alleged by Ryder against Rossmore. Having established th Identity of th characters, the motive of the play beoome readily apparent. It echoes the ory that has gone up so generally against domina tion of th dollar. Unfortunately, it' language is platitudinous and its senti ments are trite. Its situations are so pat ently melodramatic that they lose force, and the arguments a such are weakly driven horn. As has been aptly said by another, the Rossmores are not in that station of life where th depressing effect of dollarlsm ar m.ost felt; they belong rather to th class that looks up to and makes th elevation of the wealthy man possible. One may easily doubt If any of th Rossmores would hav taken any steps against John Burkett Ryder if he had not threatened them with extinction.

It doesn't excuse him that be 1 made a victim of th ma chination of the money devil He wanted a greater fortune than be had, and sought it In speculation. The fact that be had rendered a decision adverse to th cor porate interests doesn't alter the other fact In the least. This unavoidable conclusion does away with the ethical value of th Klein play. Whatever tincture of soclaltstlo doctrine may b detected In th play 1 evinced by th stock utterance of Shirley and Jeff In their assaults agslnst ths posi tion of th elder Ryder. They fall with tlttl or no effect, for th reason that they have no fore. In this country of equal opportunities no reason exists why th prudent. Industrious and thrifty cannot prosper.

It may be possible to, alter the condition that now govern the distribution of wealth, so that less will go to th Items of rent and Interest and more to the Item of wages, but this will not chang th inclination of one man to save and an other to spend, and the conditions of pru dent thrift and heedless extravagance will continue and men will be rich or poor ac- Mendelssohn Mr. Arnold Lot.

Just a th name of Billy Wt was a synonym for all that 1 good In minstrelsy whtls hs wa alive, so it is being kept bright by Manager Rickaby, who ha gotten together a com pany of the ablest exponents of black face art, and who baa also provided the most laborat and oostly of environment for hi production. The company Is large and contains on Its roster the names of the leading ainger. dancer, comedians, musi cian and entertainers of the country. Th tay her is for on day only, a matinee and evening performance today. On Tuesday and Wednesday evening and Wednesday matinee at the Boyd Viola Allen presents Clyde Fitch's play, "The Toast of th Town." Miss Allen has soored on of the greatest successes of her career in this play. Mr. Fitch la said to havs written a play which, while possessing many divert ing situations, 1 still a drama of great fore and power. On crltlo described "The Toast of th Town" a being "a play of thrill and tears, lov and laughter." It Is the best made play, according to all au couhts, that ha com from Mr. Fitch' pen In years, which means, of course, that besides possessing all those little touches for which he 1 famous, he has constructed a well-rounded drama, worthy of th great reputation of the actress who appears In It. It was expected that Mr. Fitch would writ a ply for Miss Allen which would b something more than a comedy of man agers, for th reason that Miss Allen Is an actress whose abilities are not cramped and confined, and do not run In a single groove. She 1 a commedlene of dellcuoy and charm, and yet capable of sounding the deepest emotions of the human heart. Th supporting company Is of top-notch excellence, and includes Isabel Irving, Mrs. Fanny Addison Pitt, Harrison Hunter, Has sard Short, Norman Tharp and C Leslie Allen. Th bin at the Burwood for th week beginning with a matinee this afternoon will be Sidney Grundy's famous "problem play," "Sowing tho Wind." This Is on of th first and best of the comedies dealing with the sex question, and presents It ar gument In , a most forcible manner. Mr. Grundy style la clear and concise, but most entertaining, and he argue both Idea of th question with much fore and fine dramatlo effect. Indeed, th seen In, th third act between Brabason and Rosa mond hardly has an equal for thrilling In terest and sustained power. Th whole play Is on of manners, and as such requires th most careful preparation! for It Intelligent rendition. . Director Bedley Brown know this, and ha prepared for It production with unusual car. The hehearsal hav been more than ever rigorous, and every thing ha been done to moke the piece a success. Interest Is added by th fact that on Monday night souvenirs will be given In commemoration of the 800th performanc of th Woodward Stock company at th Bur wood theater. On thst night a beautiful portrait of Miss Lang will be given to each lady In attendance. "Sowing the Wind" will be presented each evening during th week and at matinees on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Among the '.1st of musical comedies) thi season Is "Down th Pike," In which Johnny and Emma Ray will appear at th Krug for four days', commencing this afternoon. This offering I termed "a musical farce" and Is designed for laugh ing ' purposes only. Th j central figure around which the fun revolve 1 th Janitor of a modern apartment ' house, 'played by Mr. Ray. Among his tenants 1 4 bsnpecked broker with a Jealous wife. Th unfortunate husbend engages a staff of pretty stenographers and his wife promptly engage a detective to watch him. In order to evade th detective, th hus band disguises himself as the Janitor and complications begin. These are Intensified when the wife's brother makes up to Im personate the husband in an effort to bor row money, and still another janitorial disguise Is assumed by the lover of the broker's pretty niece. From this point on th fun 1 fast and Incessant, and the second act sees the various characters transferred to the St. Louis fair, where the, bewildered wife and detective pursue the faithless husband along the "Pike." the scenic mounting of this production Is said to be unsurpassed for beauty, and the costuming is extremely rich. In support of Mr. and Mrs. Ray will bo seen John T. Thomas, the phenomenal Welsh barltom. Dan Coleman, Harry lister Mason, John K: Hawley. Lmils Power. John Clahnii". Ralph Rockway, Tom J. Leo, Will Llewel lyn, E. B. Roseoe, Jeff Worden, Jessie Chapman. Julia Sweeney, Mabel Florence and Aide Jones. The engagement Is for four days, with matinees on Sunday and Wednesday. "When the World Sleeps," which wf!l hold the -attention of the patron at tbr Krug theater for three nights, startln next ThurBday, comes with the unstlnte.' praise of the critics from other points anr? will no doubt meet with favnr here. The story Is written on somewhat new lines It hss for Its hero a young man who, upon finding the dead body of his brother, snd bis sweetheart standing by, believes he' to be guilty of the crime, hut hie great love for the girl prompts him to take upon himself the terrible chargo and thereby ave hi sweetheart from eternal disgrace. Around this unusual chain of circumstances there runs a story of exciting snd thor oughly realistic scenes and th mounting I claimed to be nigh perfection. "Herrmann the Great," th famous prest idlgltateur, is the head liner at th Orpheum for the week starting with a matinee today.; Herrmann is slated for some new offerings' in magic and illusion and carries sumptuous scenery and paraphernalia for his palace, of enchantment.
