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

Tha Boyd theater announces Its opening

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

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

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

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

love dose not run smooth, furnishes the
comedy. The company Is large and the

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

contempt or the violent ridicule ef pedantlo

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

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

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

vated voices and an sxtensive repertoire of
operatic music. The Damm brothers are
a pair of herculean athletes, who on their

The camera has done more to spread a

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. . From the Poland
Spring House in Mains General Manderson
ends a bundle of good programs. 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.

NOTE This great autumnal event at Council Bluffs is recognized throughout th
west as the most artistic, the most beautiful and the most enjoyable and in every way tho
most successful of any similar carnival held anywhere in tho United States.
The grounds, which are surrounded by a white canvas fence, include Bayliss Park
and the adjoining paved streets.
The entrance arch is a nlassive structure illuminated with 350 eleotrio lights. 8,500
16-candle power electrio lights illuminate the carnival grounds.
Nearly 100 booths, beautifully decorated and containing exhibits of every kind and
