Thla seems to hara been tha caa of -UUs Cartar In bar sscond venture, whan aha took upon herself tha nama of Payne, together with tha Incumbrance of a hue band. It waa against tha expressed wlad of David Belaaco that aha did thla, and now aha la tinder tha management of Charles B. Dillingham, and tha publio thla coming eeaaon will have a chance to Judge If tha actress made tha author or the author made tha actress. It will ba a fair contest, for Mra. Carter will not have the Inspiring support of 9elasoo's great gift for stage management, nor will Relasco's turgid Unas and stagy episodes hare tha advantage of tha fervid Interpretation riven them by tha fiery Leslie, whose blood seems to ba aa red as her hair and whose disposition Is likely tha most ardent of tha two. Virginia Hamad will aucceed Mrs. Carter-Payne In the Belaaco fold (it doesn't do to say "stable" since Nat Goodwin aw A m - i a a . uvwu uvuria vunan lor so reiemng to his aggregation of talent), and in this tha honors seem to ba about even. Mrs. Harned-Sothern Is just as much married S-s Mrs. Carter dares be, although not so many times, and has back of her a long Una of mora or leas successful endeavors a an actress. Bhe waa last aeen In Omaha In tha Plnero' play of "Iris," In which she rava a notable presentation of a woman of a most undesirable sort. Her Iris Bellamy ought to match fairly well with any of tha women Mrs. Carter-Payne haa aver created (or public edification or disgust On tha other hand, Charles B. Dillingham In re ality means Charles Frohman, and this as sure Mrs. Carter a manager who will give her quite as muoh leeway as did Mr. Be laaoo and who will provide her with all a tags accessories at least. A curious pub lio will follow tha new arrangement with more than ordinary interest. It contains unusual elements to pique the people who tare even. passing fancy for tha affair of tha theater. ...... la tha meantime), It la pleasant to think that soma marriages In ths profession have been not only happy, but have had results of genlue benefit to both parties. Take Minnie Maddern for example. Probably the brightest example. Had aha remained Min nie Maddern It lis apan to doubt If aha would have attained tha high place she holds. But ah met Harrison Gray Flake, and they wars married. It waa a most ap propriate union of kindred natures, artis tic, educated and intelligently active. Mr. Stake Is somewhat overshadowed In tha combination, aa ha modestly remains In tha background, but there is no doubt that much of his wife's great auocess is due to tha sympathetic support and careful dlreo tlon ha has provided. Mrs. risks may reasonably ascribe her success to her mar riage. Another oase la that of Maxlno Elliott Bhe was a beautiful woman before ha married Nat Goodwin. Bhe la still a beautiful woman, but Is now a good actress as well, something she may attribute to her association with hsr husband, although they no longer play together. Tha new Belaaoo star, Virginia 1 lamed, owes some-, thing of hr suooees to her husband, Mr. B. A. Bo them. Mary Mannering waa a lead ing woman when she married Jamas xl Hackett but ha haa made a star of her. Henrietta Crosman waa also a leading woman when aha married Maurice Camp ball, who possesaea In a rare degree the artistic temperament combined with good business sense, and the result haa been that Mr. Campbell baa pushed his accomplished . wife to tha front rank of American stars. These are only a few of the known cases, but they serve to illustrate tha point Tha local season is now well under 'ho Way, the Orpheum coming Into line this afternoon and tha Boyd being booked to open neat week. The patronage so far baa been of tha most enoouraglng kind, and the managers are very aangulne of a nunusu ally good season. The opening of the Bur wood last week was the affair of especial Interest locally, and Its success waa moat marked. The patronage waa even greater than for tha opening week of last season, nearly all of the old and many new patrona visiting tha theater to enjoy the work of the stock company. Enjoy la used ad visedly, for the performance waa most satisfying In all Its details. The- company la nearly tha same . as last season, with Miss Elliott Instead of Miss Lang. As Ann Cruger In "The Charity Ball," Miss Elliott gave evidence of great capacity as an ac tress, and If shs lives up to the sample she will find herself a popular favorite before the days of departure come In June. She is well equipped by nature and experience for the work ahe haa undertaken, and evinces a discriminating taste that la sure to be of value aa the season goea on. Mr. juonUon, too, is doing better than he did last season, . entering with more of Best and earnestness Into his role, and with thla seal sustained, will make for himself even a better name than he now bears locally. Mr. Fay, who has taken Mr. Owen's place In the company, la a finished actor and a very amiable body besides, his character off the stage being directly opposed to those he assumes during ths play. The other members of ths company are capable, and If the open-' Ing week Is a sign, ths season will be mora of a success than It was last year. At the Krug tha plays so far put on have been of the better type of melodrama, and have been most generously patronised, whtla those booked for early produotlon are all of tha same high order. Tha Bijou con tinue to draw well Cent a a Kveats. Tha Boyd theater announces Its opening performance for the season on the evening ef Thursday, September U, when Cbaunoey Oleott will be aeen In hla new play, "Eileen Asthore" ("Ellen My Treasure.") This Is a drama of Dublin life la UM, by Theodora Burt Bayra, and It waa reoently produoed at Syraouse, N. T., where It waa well received. Ambition, Chaoncey Oloott holds, la the chief requisite to success In professional Ufa. Clinging flrmlr to this theory he haa demonstrated Its truth In hla owa career. Not contented to go on playing a success season after season, be has. nearly every year since his first Im mediate triumph as a star, , made a new and expensive produotlon and it is duo largely to hla efforts that the Irish drama baa been lifted to the plane It occupies today -Dlgtry Bell wUl appear In August ua Then. as comedy, "The Education of Mr. Plpp," at Boyd'a theater Saturday evening September U. The play was evolved by Mr. Augustus Thomas from Charles Dana Gibson's fsmoua series of drawings under the same title. In which the adventures of "Mr. and Mas. Plpp," and tha American beauty type "The Gibson Olrls," are aonaplououa. - .... The bill for the coming week at the Bur wood la eertala to prove a popular selec tion. If for no other reason than that It will how the principals of the company In roles widely varying from those of the opening week. "The Cow Boy and the Lady," la la Clyde ntab's well knows style, and is looked upon as one of hla best efforts. It tails a good story la a well oonnected way and Introduce some powerful dramatic climaxes. It la not over until the end of the last act, vhlua to & of lu aircug . m . . . , features. As Teddy North Mr. Morrison will have a fine opportunity, of which he will undoubtedly make the most. Miss Elliott haa a splendid part Its Mrs. Weston, differing entirely from that of Ann Cruger, and calling for even greater ability aa an actress. Mr. Fay aa Frank Weston also baa a good ohanoe. The entire company Is cared for In the long cast Director Long hss glvsn the piece unusually careful re fieareala and looks for a One produotlon. Ths first performance will be given at a matinee thla afternoon, and the play will be repeated each evening during the week. A special matinee will be given on Labor day, Monday afternoon, and the regular matinee on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur day. Messrs. Stair 4 Nlcolal will present the fourth edition of their popular attractions, an American racing play, entitled "Hla Last Dollar," at theKrug for four daye, starting with a matinee today. David Hlg glns will be seen In the leading role, sup ported by Eleanor Montell and a strong and capable cast of playsrs. Mr. Hlgglns has written some rather clever plays here tofore, their main element of strength be ing the presentation of original types of American character, and It Is said this new play follows the lines of tha others. A complete and One scenio production will be made and a strong company haa been gathered to present thla drama, which again Includes W. Burt Cartwrlght, who will be cast aa the smooth and polished Villain; Thomas Reynolds, the refined He brew, and Bmma telvatore, the adven turess. There will be a special matinee tomorrow, It being Labor day. w For three nights and Saturday matinee, starting Thursday night September 6, "The Cow Puncher" will be the attracUon at the Krug theater. "The Cow Puncher" Is full of local color. It being a play of the golden west by Hal Raid. The action of the piece takes place In Ariaona and tells the story of a young eastern girl whose brother dies, leaving her a ranch In Ari aona. She leaves college to come out west and take up her brother's work. Tom Lawton, the foreman of the ranch, becomes her devoted admirer and atands between her and danger that threatens her on every hand and Anally wins her for hla own. The cattle thieves, Carlos Mendosa and Denver Dan, are captured by the rangers, of which Lawton Is the captain, and summarily given a hemp necktie. Blat tery Ann and Tacoma Jim, a pair whose love dose not run smooth, furnishes the comedy. The company Is large and the production probably one of the heaviest on the road. TTore will be the usual mat inee on Saturday. ' Paul, the Mystlfysr, heads an excellent bill of vaudeville attractions at the Bijou Notes About Ml I v-1 I MSHsV OHN PHILIP BOUBA 1 to the front again with an article In the September number of Appleton's Magazine on the suggestive and delightfully naive topic of "cuuned Music." The great bandmaster la having; a fit over all the mechanical con trivances for the purveying of melody minus the year of study which up to V present swift mod of life have been nec essary; The jwide love, for the musical art to be found In America, aaya Mr. Sousa, springs from ths singing school, secular or sacred; from ths village band, and from the study of those Instruments that are nearest the people. "There are more pianos, violins, guitars, mandolins and banjos among the working classes of America than In all the rest of the world, and the presence of these Instruments in ths homes has given em ployment to enormous numbers of teach ers, who havs patiently taught the chil dren and Inculcated a love for music throughout the various communities." The foundations of thla great structure Mr. Sousa sees In danger of undermining. He continues; "Right here Is ths menace In machine made music! The first rift in the lute has appeared. The cheaper of these Instru ments of the home are no longer being purchased as formerly, and all because ths automatic muslo devices are usurping their places. "And what la the result? The child be comes Indifferent to practice, for wften mu sic can be heard In the homes without the labor of study and close application, and without the slow process or acquiring a technic, it will be simply a question of time when the amateurs disappear entirely, and with him a host of vocal and instru mental teachers, who will be without Held or calling." Who can say that thla special effect of mechanical muslo will be a calamity t I can only think with joy of the thousands of practice-hating, untalented children, who have been freed from torment by the pianola. The fathers can now come home, don their carpet slippers and tramp off a mile or two of sonatas and symphone for themselves, while the boys and girls get their base balls and dolls and enjoy the slice of daylight that le left after school. The child who really loves muslo and longs to make a little, won't be lured by any toy, but probably slip into some quet comer and listen. A good part of my early musical education I obtained on the stairs, outside of the home muslo room (not listening to mechanical pieces, though). My view point Is that the machines will emancipate the drones and do no harm to the real lovers, but simply be absorbed as educators. Robert Hughes, critic and writer upon things musical, takes a sensible, sans view of the subject The. following squibs clipped from a recent article are full of food for meditation t A man who has devoted his life to muslo and published several volume on musical subjects, was recently made veiy unoomfortable by Mr. Daniel Frohman. The musician knew that Mr. Frohman had given his time to theatrical affairs and nad never learned to play an Instrument or to read a page of muslo. Yet Mr. Frohman revealed an astonishing familiarity with the worka of the great composers and aaked questions that kept ths musician busy Inventing excuses for forgetfulness. "Let me see," Mr. Frohman would say, "how does that second theme go in the third movement of - Beethoven's Fourth symphony T" Then, aa the musician floundered, Mr. Froaman would recall It, and bum It and discuss its similarity with some other lu porlant thetue by sums other maater. The secret was, that, while the muslolan had psrhajja not beard this symphony played lor several years, and may never have closely studied the soore, Mr. Froh man had been playing It over and over every day for weeks on hla mechanical piano player. Art owes more to machinery than many trusts are willing te admit. The came, a, for instance, derided by painters and big oted amataura, baa brought within uis reach of millions of people beautiful re productions of the masterpieces. These are not of course, the old masters themselves, but Uwy axe infinitely nearer the originals than ths oil eoplss formerly In vogue. These were the work of tenth-rate paint srs who bad tailed a artists and earned a humble living turning out alleged copies, crude in color, false in drawing, and utterly empty of the majeell spirit of the erlg- Tha mechanical nlano Player, of which there are now aeveral varieuea in ths mar k.t. was similarly met at first with the contempt or the violent ridicule ef pedantlo musicians. It was a bold anarchist who oared to aay a good word for lu Mr. Henry T. Flock of the New York Evening Poet, who had ventured to praise Wagner and fight for Mm when he waa the butt of all the scholastic critics and sven of the cheap cat comlo paragraphers, wss perhaps the first writer of position who was courageous enough to speak In favor of the piano player, and even to confess to keeping one In bis house. Today the most eminent writer, composers and performers com pete tut adjoUvea of praise end Aelar for thla week, and, with his handcuffs, shackles, leg Irons, eta, will demonstrate how easy It Is to baffle the law In escaping from such paltry "jewelry." Ran and Byrne, comedian and aoubrstte, have a singing, dancing and acrobatio act which comes well recommended from other oltles. A fun makers they are ranked high. Really artlstlo violin music Is expected from Grace Bra-ham, the popular virtuoso, who oomes here for the first time. Buck and wing dancing by the Great Rlcharda will be another feature of the bill. . Pauline Courtney will sing two brand new Illus trated songs, fresh from New York. The Bijou Stock company In their new play, "The 'Old Coon Hunter," a charming rural drama, should be a decided hit this week. Ths Bijou motion pictures will be the best yet as the management sent to New Tork for ths very best .film that could be ob tained. The result waa "The Life of a Cow boy,? being a realistic picture of western life. The Bijou theater will be open every evening, with the usual matin. A spe cial bargain matinee will be given on Mon day, Labor day. The opening of the Orpheum today with matinee and night performances will un doubtedly be received with great favor, for vaudeville and the Orpheum are very popu lar with theatergoera in general. A strong bill of eight features, varied and garnished up with the novel, two-thirds of the ar tists newcomers and new "stunts" pro vided by the older favorites is promised. The sale of seats in advance has been very large and Indicate packed houses today and a fashionable turnout on Monday night. The playhouse shows Improvements that contribute to comfort and elegance. The Kaufman troupe of trick and fancy cyclists will be one of the prominent acts. They have won a worldwide reputation as among the foremost Id their line. Since last seen here they have Introduced some new stunts into their act Among the new comers 1 NIta Allen. Miss Allen, who Is said to be beautiful and winsome aa well as talented, will present a one-act comedy by Will M. Creaaey entitled "Car Two, State room One." The vehicle has been spoken of highly and Is claimed to strike a good Cressey standard. Among the purveyors of comedy will be Nat Le Roy and Minnie Woodford with a conversational turn de clared right up to date. The Roses are three pretty girls who may be pleasantly recalled. Theirs la a dainty musical act The girls perform on the 'cello, the violin and the piano and two of their number pos ses pleasing voices. Another bit of good harmony Is promised by Adamlnl and Tay lor, charaoter vocalists, who possess culti vated voices and an sxtensive repertoire of operatic music. The Damm brothers are a pair of herculean athletes, who on their laat visit made a hit here. The Four Amer- Music and Musical Matters themselvee beholden to mechanical piano players for both pleasure and proUt. The camera has done more to spread a knowledge and love of great painting, great sculpture and great architecture than all the lectures, books and copies ever made. There I yet a third Instrument that Is doing very Important missionary work for mualoal America. I was in Texas some weeks ago and there. In a private house. I heard Calve, Caruso, Melba, Plan con and other far-famed vocalists singing in rapid succession their most successful numbers, r Only once has the Metropolitan opera troupe visited Texas, and at this particular time these singers were thousands of mile away, yst they were singing fur me as I commanded. . . Recently I received a letter from a small western city, where no first-class orchestra or opera troupe ever goes. The letter was from a man who bad won suocess as a railroad lawyer and a Judge, and had then, retired. He had reached his threescore and ten with no knowledge of muslo be yond the whistling of popular tunes. Some one persuaded him to buy a piano player and a few rolls of muslo. After a short time he wrote to ane, asking me to select for him a aeries kt rolls that would give him the beat possible acquaintance with all of Wagner's operas. Think of the new world the land of milk and (honey that was opened to this man in his declining yearsl Had he taken up mu slo in ths usual way ten years ago he would have been dead of old age before hi weary fingers could have learned to play "The Maiden's Prayer." Now he has In herited all muslo In one shower of pros perity. $ A oonsequenc of this enlarged and al most universal growth of Interest In muslo, Is aa enormoua broadening of the market for books about muslo. The man with the piano player wants to know something about the man to whom he la Indebted for entertainment just aa one Is curious about the personal affairs of his friends. Mr. Man-In-the-Street Is beginning to ask: "What Is a sonata, anyway?" "What Is a sym phony?" "Hss an oratorio any oratory In itr 'la It true that a piano I In tun only when It I out of tune? And If so, why?" "Who was Beethoven? and what effeot did Haydn have on him? And what effeot did he have on Brahma? And why were Brahms and Wagner so pitted against each other? And why did their devoteea wage such bitter war? And who is this new man' Strauss? Is he the composer of the Blue Danube waltsea? And If not what Is bs doing that excltea the critics to uoh frenslea of praise or ridicule?" To satisfy this curiosity the publishers are turning out a flood of musical guidebooks, explanatory works known aa "How-to" books, books of biography, of anecdote, of analysis. It point.) to a tremendous revo lution In America. It means much for the Intellectual and the moral betterment of the nation, as well as for Ita higher enter tainment My good friends have certainly come to the rescue this week. .

The or chestra at this hotel is composed of Boston symphony men and General and Mr. Man derson report that the concerts have been an Infinite delight and have added Im mensely to - their pleasure and helped lu the task of recuperation. Muoh more wel come to me, though, than the program. Is the news that the sender of the budget has gained some thirty pounds In weight and la oa the high road to complete recovery.

He writes enthusiastically of the active, out- of-door life apropos business changes. When Paul Beresford left the Cudahy com pany to go to New York, he looked for ward to large wads of dough. His parting toast to a few of his particular friends was as follows:' "To you! When I make It I'll buy a rubber-tired yacht and tako you all, and we'll never come back!" heard laat week that Paul had bought a Stelnway grand piano. The clerk at the Grand Pacifio hotel In Chicago told me. but we can't quite go to sea on that Now we're looking a little to the shingle business. Anyway, whoever gets the "yacht" calls for the rest "Tho' It were ten thousand mile."
