' q ' TITE OMAIIA" SUXDAY BEE: JAXUARr 27, 1PQ7. - 1 t - About Plays, Players and Playhouses OMAVT1C rtramft pm to be P""- Rl Ing; at all events, the eiporlrnc! I of the manarers In Omh during the week would no Indicate. Down at the Krug "When KnlKhthood Wbi in Flower" bloomed for four nlghta and almost blushed unuppn. At no time Were the audience eufllciently large to mbgrrasa any of the people on the stsgo Who might want to talk over private af fairs during; the prngrers of the play. At the Boyd "Uorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" displayed her charm, which were Hot Inconsiderable, but without attracting to any one performance more people than tnlght be comfortnbly entertained at a tea party. Thin can only be accounted frr on me hypothesis. The public has changed Its mind. A few yeara ago the announce ment of either of three playa would have packed a theater, no matter whose nam waa .connected with the leading role. At this time no one seerna to care for them. It la not a reflection on either Mis Merritt or Ml as Gallatin that they received no more respectful hearing while In Omaha. Each la capable and clever, and each gave a well considered and carefully worked out pre sentation of a girlish character of a aort that' appeala to most people. Ench was surrounded by a company of capable actors, and ench had the appropriate en vironment and atmosphere for the play. But neither waa listened to. What la true of Omaha aeema to be true everywhere, and the 'historical romance" that la neither historical nor romantic baa had Its day. -A With Ifa breath from the great meadows f the weat, the tang of the alkali dnat, and the exhilarating taate of lta otonn, the fresh air and the sunlight, came "The Virginian." It Is hardly needed here, where we have nil but the alkali dust as our daily portion. Omaha Is of the west western, Here life Is broad and free and opcri," and Its affairs are carried on mnn to man, Just as they were In Wyoming In the flay of the Vlrglnlnn. Some of the re fining Influences of civilisation have come to ua along with the telephone, and the trolley cars, such as bath tuba and bil liard tables and evening suits, but they have not as yet cramped our naturea or "warped ua from the living truth." It la Still possible to etand upright and draw a good, deep breath of free air In Omaha, air that tingles and tltilates In the blood aa ohampagne. And as only the earlier settlers are old enough to be grandfathers, we have not been able to accumulate either ancestors or traditions. That Is why we can sympathise with the Virginian. And right here enters something that too many people lost alght of when watching the progreaa of eventa in that play. Molly .Wood had ancestors. making the west the wonder of the age. Out of the midst of th convention and reiemonial she has emerged Into a new life of clearer sight and broader possibili ties, with an environment of truth denuded of the diplomatic wrappings that swaddle It a.nong older civilisation. Bhe had not encountered manhood In the raw, bsjt she had met It unshamed In Its primitive strength. Her womanhood sprang up to meet It. That Is all, but It I enough to make Molly Wood one of the most human and feminine of characters on the stage today. Apropos of lines concerning Blanche Walsh and her new play In this column last week: The piece has settled down for a run and seats are selling alx weeka In advance. Com I n a Events. Miss Alberta Gallatin and her fine sup porting company will be offered at the Hoyd theater this evening In "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." a romantlo drama of the days of Queen Elizabeth. Miss Gallatin I playing the heroine In a delightful fashion and her supporting com pany Is a good one. The piece deserves a big crowd. "The lAnd of Nod," th well known musical fantasy, will be the attraction at the Boyd theater on Wednesday for a matinee and evening performance. There are fifteen new and original characters In troduced to the stage In "The Land of Nod," Including the Man In the Moon, Welsh Rarebit, April Fool, King and Queen of Hearts. Reflection. Rory Bory Alice, Sandman, Weather Man and Tele phone Man. The cast selected by Manager Will J. Block Includes the well known comedian. Knox Wilson. Nell McNeill, Oeorge Foe, Ursula March. Adele Oswald, Anna McN'abb, Emily Huff, Allyn Roberta, George McKlssock and others equally well known In the musical comedy and ex travaganza field. Boyd's will have as It attraction for' two nights and a Saturday matinee, begin ning Friday, February 1, Mis Florence Roberta, the western emotional actress, and her company of players to that play houso In "The Strength of the Weak," a piece that she la said to have taken critical, overfed theatrical New York by storm with laet season. Her run in the play at the Liberty theater In that city lasted for aome 160 nights, and as one of the critics of the metropolis said, reviewing the play the morning after her debut. "She did more to establish herself In a nlngle nlfrht with the fores of her own genius than many of the so-called stnrs have done In a life time." Miss Roberts has been long recog nized on the raclfic coast, her home, as one of the most talented of the emotion portraying women of the stage and It was the gratification of a lifelong ambition when she succeeded In battering down that wall of prejudice that exists, perhaps un justly. In the metropolis against western products theatrical. The play Itself Is a modern drama of social life In the so called 00," described as a tragedy of the Intensely emotional order, with Its localles all laid In and around the city of New York. The localle Includes the living rooms of a bevy of college girls nt an eastern Institution of learning, the ball room of a cross-country hunt club, and the apart ment of a woman of the fashionable set of New York In one of the many swagger family hotels of upper Harlem. Miss Rob erts, it la said, will be seen In a part that Is happily suited to her talents and which will reveal her as a gifted girl who has written a book said to be the story of her life, and the disclosure of the Identity of the author furnishes one of the chief denouements of the tale. The same cast that she used In New York with minor exception will accompany. To commence with, Mme. Schumann Heink, over whose singing all of Europe has been raving this last year, respectively In Buyreuth and Munich, has the moat majestic voice of any contralto heard here for many years past, and her command of this marvelous organ Is well nigh per fect, as Jier flawless execution of the two octave Jump In ths famous "Brlndlal" proves. In all passages that He between the natural range of her voice her emission Is smooth, sonorous and productive of un failing beauty of tone. Her phrasing Is Invariably the perfection of art and her enunciation of the text shows a perfect command of vocalisation. These features of her method enable her to sing such things as the "Brlndlal" with all ths beauty of color ever imparted to It by an Italian singer while her keen Intelligence, her glowing temperament, her subtle humor and her winsome personality enable her to All the hollow melody with a wealth of vitality unequaled by any other singer now before the public She Is gifted with true artist temperament. Mme. Helnk will be heard at tha Boyd on Thursday evening. -9 Mr. Alfred Sutor's "The Walls of Jeri cho," In which Mr. James K. Hackett will be seen here at the Boyd for four nights and Wednesday matinee, commencing Sun day, February 3, I a strong play of Lon don society life, in which the perils of excessive Indulgence In bridge whist among other things are vividly set forth. It was one of the most conspicuous successes of the London sesson two years ago and of last season In New York. Mr. Hacket has Just concluded a prosperous four weeks engagement in Chicago with tbls play. This has been well termed "One of the worth whlls events" of the dramatla sea son. "Lady Windermere's Fan." a charming comedy of manners, has been selected as the bill for the new week at the Burwood theater, a fact that promises for the patrons of that theater a most delightful entertainment. The play Itself Is one of the most brilliant In Its epigrammatic force In the English tongue, and has been highly praised as being a model of this style of writing. Its wit is pungent and Its satire keen, while the story It tells Is a reflection of modern life. As Mrs. Erlynns, Miss Pitt will have a better opportunity than was hers In her opening bill. The character Is drawn with mors skill and firmness) of outline, and Is one that has attracted the attention of some of the greatest of society actresses. Miss Hill Is back In the cast with a splendid chance for her talents In the role of Iady Windermere. Mr. Morri son will be seen as Lord Windermere, a role that will give him a fine chance In his favorlls line of work, and Mr. Hartford as Lord Darlington will have cne of thoss clean, polished characters he hsndles so well. Mr. Davles snd Mr. Bchoefleld are well fitted and the other members of the company are apprcprlotely cared for. Tha setting of the place Is one that calls for considerable outlay, but has been lavishly provided for. The scores' In the drawing room at Lady Windermere's home, whers the fan episode la brought to the fore, will bo most brilliant, and the other settings are In keeping. The comedy is In four acts and the rehearsal have been such as to warrant Director Hartford In promising a thoroughly satisfactory performance. The piece wl'.l be put on at a matinee on Sun day, snd will continue through the week, with the regular matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. , "Ths Yankee Consul," the big eomlo opera success, comes to the Krug theater for two days, starting matinee today, and will prove a revelation to local theater-goers. This opera has the distinction of having scored long and succesaful runa In New York, Chicago, Boston and Ban Francisco and has played to record-breaking receipts everywhere. Manager John P. Slocum, who Is again presenting this delightful mu sical satire, has provided a splendid cast, headed by Harry Short, who played the leading role last season, and the scenlo environment Is magnificent. It Is bad enough to be a tenderfoot, but to be the heritor of several generations ; of ancestors In the bargain Is a handicap that only a few could overcome. Miss , Wood was placed In a decidedly awkward predicament from the very first. She had brought to the west certain very well de fined notions, absurd enough from the : viewpoint of one who had known nothing but the west, but perfectly reasonable from Music and Musical Notes The most sensational melodrama, "A Midnight Escape," which will be the of fering at the Krug for two nights, starting HE last week has shown a few turned to America recently, where he will Tuesday night, January 29, Is a drama of gleams of brightness for the oonfinno hi. r..i. .. esit New York life that has never been offered mualo lovers of Omaha, The most com pan 1st of Mme.
