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

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. Master Tommy Sandys,
secure in the knowledge that the lady

One of the wrongs of life, endured chiefly

At tha Burwood theater the bill for tne

will be one of . the most charming love
stories ever written for the stage, "The

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,

Just when she and her happy lover think

The Beggar Prince Opera company has
fairly established Itself at the Boyd the
ater. 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.

change of work, and thinks, as does N.
C. Goodwin, that nothing is more Dleasur-

Shakespeare has two shrines, nay, three,
on the Jersey coast. Edwin Milton Royle,
ordinarily of most modest mien, boldly
asserts that he Is the second bard of Avon,
for has not he a summer home at Avon,
and la he not a bard? See, or rather hear,
"Moonshine and Marrying Mary." There
Selena Fetter Royle and the little Misses
Royle await the bard'a return from Europe
next month. At Monmouth Beach Mr. and
Mrs. Louis James rest tn an' attractive
home from their long season's tour. Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Mantell have out of At
lantic Highlands a farmstead, where Mr.
Mantell mows hay as a counter Irritant to
playing Brutus.
For such time as he will remain on this
side this summer Francis Wilson will oc
cupy his permanent home, a substantial
mansion at New Rochelle, where the treas
ures of much travel and many rare book,
surround him.
If his season of presenting "Strongheart"
In Ixindon permits Robert Kdeson will rest
at hia home in Sag Harbor, where his car
penter shop gives htm license to fashion
unheard of shapes from a few boards, a
hammer and many nails,
Bhould his house at Laureltnn, on Long

"The Qlrl
Blanche Bates' farm at Ossintng calla
loudly to her at the end of a season. Her
farm norses, her myrlaa or cnlcKens, ana
the new kitchen furniture demanded by
her cook make to her more crying need
than continental methods of dramatlo art.
Mlss Bates says that when on the farm
ahe goes to the rear yard every morning
and breathea deeply forty times, after
which, she declares, she Is as tired as after
a day of two performances.
Mrs. Islle Carter will rest at Shelter
Island, where she has a picturesque home
and where she rigorously lives the out-of-
door life.
Near Greenwich, Conn., Viola Allen has
a handsome new summer home, where one
of her friendlleBt neighbors Is Clyde Fitch,
who, when at Qult Corners, his country

At Tyngboro, Mass., Ni nee O'Nell Is
finding surcease of much travel and the
greater mental and spiritual vicissitudes of
a player's life. There Miss O'Nell has 100
acres of farm and woodland, and lives In
a century-old house, less old than the
souvenirs In her theatrical room. This
stage room, which she uses for an occa
sional private reading or rehearsal, brims
with memorial objects. Whenever or
wherever Nance O'Nell could find a relic
of some great actor she has willingly
parted with a major portion of her world's
goods to persuade Its owner of Its greater
value to her than to him. Accordingly
she has acquired old play Mils, ancient
photographs and letters, which are por
traitures of lives that have passed, and
bits of gowns and much-worn stage Jewels.
It was she who bought the stage Jewels
of Rlstorl from a relative In Australia.

are not synonymous. Rose Stahl goes to

sold at such a cheap rate at tha present

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. Chicago Chron
