In ' Pe er Pan 1. one of of the most remarkable In the annal. of the atage. Minds that do not run psck 10 the golden age of the: drama In America, when there were such giants aa For rest and Macready and other, whose shadow falls dimly even yet across the footlights, cannot recall anything to excel It ' and few accomplishments that equal It. Subjected to critical analysis, the undertaking seems scarcely worth the effort and pains put upon It. Had an obscure author gone to Charles Frohman with the manuscript of "Peter Pan" It Is scarcely likely he would have ven received the proverbial pleasant look" from the Napoleon of the modern stage. Had an artist less gifted than Maud Adama essayed the role, It Is better than even betting that the run would have ended with the first week. It required the genius of Maud Adams to give to the queer mix- ture of fun and satire Just the right touch to make It live. Barrle has an Inimitable .ins-iir, tlre of the subtlest with . . .ir..t .mi tnurhtns? us on the tendorost spots, surprising us by ..,k . vi- hnmanltv at times, and again equally surprising us by the shal- lowness of his Invention. True to nature at times at others he imagines the queer- est of conditions, and asks his characters to do the most Quixotic things. Just be cause It happens to be The Barrle con celt that la what ought to be done. And Peter Pan la a creature of this mood of the author. Peter Is scarcely a type, and yet his prototype might be found plentiful enough In even a snori searcn . youngsters of any community. In a way Barrle understands boy nature, because he was a boy himself, and under some conditions that naturally restrained his bent for pirates and Indians and the like. It Is not to be wondered at that he should AAvnit some nf his manhood years to picturing a boy as he would liked to have been. Robert Louis Stevenson has given us some most charming boy sketches, but his boyhood was 'spent under circumstances that allowed the romantic and Imagina tive phase of his character to amply do velope. Barrle was not so situated, but early found himself In contact with some of the sternost facts of existence. HI. boys are, for this reason, abnormal tn some degree, but Intensely boyish In most. Some people can scarcely understand the reversal of relations between Shovel and Tommy, for example. Under the spell of Shovel's Old Man, who was the prtxe drunkard and generally disreputable oltl en of the tenement. Tommy was proud to bask In the light of Shovel's radiant presence; but , when tho elder Sandys had been successfully hanged the halo shifted, and Shovel, conscious of his downfall, abased himself before the now elevated Tommy, who magnanimously undertook to teach his adorer the proper way to say "Dagont." Unfortunately for Shovel', future, hi. Cockney tongue was unequal to the Scotch burr, and he was unable to ever satisfactorily master the accent, and he lnglorlously disappeared from our ken. What better evidence of hereditary masterfulness could have been given than that furnished by Tommy In the incident of Corp Shlach's fits? The lady happened along on the day when It waa certain that Corp would not be smitten, and that worthy was unduly cast down as the result of his own apparent Inefficiency. Here arose the born leader.

Orad- grind's demand for facts is still heard above all other things, and the faculty for dreaming brave dreams Is systematic- ally assailed untltl It, is finally all but ex- lirpatea. Then, later in life, when illusions have been destroyed, equally atudled effort put forth to stimulate the imagination. ( Sometimes it has survived the onslaught ny euuc.i, aim men um possessor, Is hailed as a genius, simply because he thinks he can see something far ahead, and works on until he attains It. Imagina tion, properly directed, creates all that Is good In life. The mathematician requires Imagination of as high degree, though of different order, as the poet; the chemist. the Ph must . able to see thing. poet or painter; the actor, the arcnitect and the worthy artisan are equally imaginative If they succeed, and Juet as this faculty has escaped the repressive Influenece of early training Its possessor succeeds In his calling. It Is a sad day when Jack the Giant Killer and Santa Claus and other demigods of child hood are reluctantly discarded, for' with them go a lot of things that might better be preserved. 1 Imagination aids Maud Adams to assume the role of a boy so easily that the result Is perfection. It Is the slmnlicitv of tha cimracier presented mat makes it appeal directly to all.

That she waa able to awaken these recollections Is the highest tribute that can be paid her art. Some went away from the theater com plaining that the play was silly; these are to be pitied, for they either had no child hood, or they have forgotten It. The rest or us are glad tnat we had the opportunity to lay aside, even for a moment, the cares of grown-up life, and go and chase pirates and associate with fairies even for a few hours.- Thanks to Maud Adams and J. M. Barrle, It was tha intention at tha outset to say something in praise of Maud Adams as an actress; recollections of boyhood days, spent in the woods or on the river, when As bees fly hame wl' honeyed treasure The moments winged their way wl' pleasure, come trooping so fast that more serious thought .

It tells the story of how charming and dutiful princess fell in , , ,t of her watChful parents, and w thenPdoomed by the chancellor of the kingdom to wed ror poimcai reasons vim he)r tQ thJ tnrone f a neighboring king- dom. It Is Just such a tale as might be told, of any of the little principalities of Europe, where love Is a' secondary con sideration among the ruling families, and political advantage comes first In arrang ing weddings. In this case the princess suddenly finds that she haa a will of her own, and she sets about to defeat the ln- a, .v... k- ,,-j y,mr mA v.r love, trlgue that has Involved her and ber love. , Just when she and her happy lover think they have outwitted the old chancellor, who happens also to be a cardinal, it turns out that he has been too watchful for them. tus inumpn is muri-iuru, develops that the young king is no more of the mind of marrying a girl he has never seen than Is the princess, and so he has come a-woolng In the most romantlo fashion and haa won the girl ne was destined by politic, to wed.

The rendition of "The Mikado" and "The Bohemian Qlrl" during the week was such as satisfied the most expectant of the patrons, and put the company fairly before the people as a strong musical organiza tion. Manager Sheeley Is striving to get his company into the best possible condi tion, and his unremitting efforts are more than bearing fruit. As it is, the perform ance excels In merit that of many of the more pretentious road companies that come during the winter season. For the coming week two more very pretty light operas, less well known, but none the less delight ful, will be .given. The first, "Said Pasha," will be recalled by many as having had Its premiere in Omaha at the old Boyd theater on Farnam street in 1890, when its com poser, Richard Stahl, organized and re hearsed his company here, and here gave the first public performance of his opera, whtoh was one of the successes of the day. Music and Musical Notes IBS MART MUNCHOFF'S return M to Omaha lights many dreams In the heart, of young lingers. Her career baa been wonderfully sat isfactory. She has built it stop by step and at the first in the face of most discouraging opposition. She was deter mined to have a try at the great world of music. For several years she studied hard and earnestly here and abroad before her stage life began. I used to take my singing lesson of Mrs. Kountze just after Mary MunchofF in the old studio on Nineteenth street. She was studying "with verdure clad." The runs went like crystal even then, although her voice had nothing like the strength it has now. At all Mrs. Kountze's pupils' recitals Miss MunchofTs singing waa a feature. She frequently had to sing her songs over again As you know such enthusiasm is rare over beginners. Besides being a thorough musician Miss Munchoff has a sweet, attractive person ality. She Is much beloved for herself alone aa well as her great gift. It is a great pleasure to her home friends to meet her when she comes to Omaha to renew her family ties. On Tuesday evening at the Orpheum thea ter she will give her customary song re cital. This event always calla forth a large audience and immense appreciation. Mr. Puss haa had the most wretched luck as to weather. Krug park haa been cold and rainy and bleak. One cannot very well alt outside in such chilliness. It Is a great pity, for the Dues band plays most beautifully and artistically and musically. There are no heavy blaring brasses and no "bass drums," the snare drums being used Instead. It gives to the band a softness, as it were, a well-bred-ness seldom found In such an organisation. The management at the park baa, I believe, made an arrange ment to keep Mr. Dubs two weeks more. Let us hope and pray for warm, pleasant weather, ao that music lovers may take advantage of this opportunity to listen to some fine programs. In Cleveland where Mr. Duss played before coming here be received a veritable ovation. There is a probability that Mr. Puss will give aa In- ' formal lecture here to a few enthusiasts some time durhig the next week. $ Mrs. Blerbower has been rebuilding the upper floors of the Boyd theater.

It waa then that this superb instrument entered the lists with all others on equal terms fitted to render like the most ex quisite piano any piece of music that of Lisit or Mendelssohn, for Instance without restriction as to the key In which it waa written. And, as we know, that supreme master of harmony, Richard Wagner, took the harp between his hands, so to say, and simply made It necessary for all or chestra And Hector Berlioz simply adored thla ancient instrument. "Shut me up in a room, with a harp," he would say, rapturously, "and I am supremely happyP Omaha people will remember Ada Sassoll, who was here at the Auditorium with Madame Melba; But a "discovery" of Madame Melba. little Ada Sassoll, bids fair to outstrip them all. Her mastery of phrasing and amazing technique and strength of tone enabled thla little girl to fill a whole oica house with luscious chords of golden melody. Many a painter haa been tempted to reproduce the eager girl, white-robed and virginal, calling her harp Into life against a lovely background of roses and lilies. Indeed, one of the most successful pictures at the Paris Salon last year was one by an artist of our own and repre sented exactly such a picture. Mr. and Mra.

St' 'Tl ( hsTEBWEW sold at such a cheap rate at tha present time means that those who are on tha 1 ground will have splendid opportunities to i get homes. One house in particular, which has been offered at the low price of $6,000. is said to be worth twice that amount. Good two-story brick dwellings aro being offered at the low price of $2,000. . Every attempt will be made to keep the place, as it Is a model town for working men. Tt has been tha aim of those who have had the matter In charge to keep the place from becoming a village of huts and hovels, such as so many manufacturing towns are. Temperance has always ber encouraged, and while "blind pigs" have been operated, a strict watch has been kept and arrests have been made and the proprietors have been fined time and time again. The founder of the town realized what a foe Intemperance was to worklng mcn and he determined that the men em ployed In his shops should not be sub jected to Its influence and not be tempted by saloons on every side. While It cannot be denied that high philanthropy guided Mr. Pullman In his efforts to erect a model town on the Calu met prairies. It is also apparent that busi ness sagacity had much to do with his attitude toward the worklngmen. It was Mr. Pullman's Idea that In a manufacture ing town, where- all the houses were neat and tasteful and the environment morally and physically pure and wholesome and suggestive of system and thrift, the work men would turn out more, better and mora profitable work than In a place where op posite condition, existed.
