THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMHEli 10. 1X7. P About Plays, Players and. Playhouses N OT the lenat Intorctlng .l.lltloii to the gaiety of a aeaaoii which hai hern hllnriou to a degrc hardly exported of Its youth, haa born the tiff between WIN Hhiti Winter, the dean of the Uu.U of Dramatic Critic, and Colonel llarrlnon Grey FiFke, who I husband of one atur, manager of several othera. and owner of a very prosperous and Important newapapf-r. Mr. Winter, In purault of policy that haa been hla for -more year than any of the reat of us know, took occa sion to pay hia reaped to the drama of "Sappho and Fhaon," by Steele Mackaye, and produced by Colonel Flake with Mad ame Kallch aa Sappho. When he got through tho laurel wreath Sappho wore aa ' poetca of passion looked like Christmas tree In the early days of March following, while the lady's personal character wig hardly that. Colonel Flske, gallant man that he Ih, went after Mr. Winter, and In the course of a two-column article In hla own paper, proved that Sappho had been a very much maligned person, that she waa of this Martin Beck Is writer whom they consider moribund if not actually extinct. Consideration of the cae of Colonel Kiske and Crltlo Winter Justifies a brief return to the case of Colonel Flake and the syndi cate. In addition to the combination of vaudeville managers referred to In The Bee laat week, whereby a chain of houses from coart to coast will be arrayed agulnst the Klaw & Erlanger combination, an even more formidable association has developed. This Is a working understanding between the vaudeville managers and the "Independ ents," which latter classification Includes Messrs. Fiske and Belasco, whereby "legiti mate" shows are to be permitted In vaude ville theaters. It waa discovered that at least eight theaters now used for vaude ville purposes could be devoted to the uses of the "legit" In as many cities, and It waa agreed that where this arrangement could be made vaudeville attractions would from time to time give way to such com panies as could not otherwise secure ad mission to a suitable theater.

Report declares M "Beloved Vagabond" to have been a "best seller", at home, so in nepiemDer, gives promise of filling It until after Christmas and possibly longer. The critics roasted the Thomas play "good and plenty," but the public failed to agree with them, and Maudu's acting In the title ran is among the best things be has done. work of booking the attractions of Messrs, Fiske and Belasco through the west, and It Is not at all unlikely that Omaha people will have a chance to see Mrs. Fiske with out going across to Council Bluffs. This move Is the most serious that has yet been a woman of pure character and lofty pur pose, sulTerlng for centuries through the malevolence of calumnies that had out lived both hr and her original detractors. These, Colonel Flsko pointed out, had been very satisfactorily cleared away by a, Ger man Investigator as long ago as 1816, and he Inquired If Mr. Winter had not yet caught up with the year 1819. Having pro vided Sappho with a satisfactory charac ter. Colonel Fiske retired the play, and now to see some of the Fiske and Belasco stars proposes that Madame Kallch shall next be at the Orpheum theater, seen In "Msrta of the Lowlands." It will be Interesting to read what Mr. Winter has te say of this heroine of passions even grosser than those of Sappho. But Mr. Winter did not rest lightly under the rebuke administered him by Colonel Fiske. In the Tribune he Indulges to the extent of a couple of columns In a replica tion which Is of such pith that It Is hero reproduced, save for some lengthy quota tions from his own critical writings In which Mr. Winter refute the accusation of "brutality" towards actors ot any na tion. Mr. Winter writes: The critical remarks that were made In The Tribune of October 22 relative to Mme. Bertha Kallch' performance of Sappho at the Lytic theater have been publicly desig nated by Mr. Harrison Orey Fiske, the manager of that -acrtess, as "gratuitous bri.ai.ty," and he, has stated that "Mme. Kallch can readily afford to be Included In the like condemnation" (meaning gratui tously brutal condemnation), "which he" (meaning the dramatic critic of The Trib une), "has bestowed upon such artists as Eleonora . Dune. Sarah Bernhardt, Coque Hn, Mounet-Sully, Forest and Salvlnt. The custom of attributing to the dra matlo representative of the Tribune opinions, expressions and beliefs, never entertained nor promulgated by htm haa been carried very far in fact, to the ex treme limit of misrepresentation In the effort to Impugn his veracity and discredit his professional Judgment.

Eugene Pressby's dramatization of "The Right of Way" has been offered In New York, and has been received with some show of Interest. Guy Standing as Charley Steele and Theodore Roberts as Joe Por tugats offer the characters much as they were outlined by Sir Gilbert Parker In his great novel, but Mr. Pressoy haa appar ently allowed his eagerness for theatric effect to outweigh what ardent admirers of the novel conceived to be its true dra matic value.

To charge the present writer with bri-tal condemnation of Forrest. 8al vinl, Mounet-Bully, Coquelin, Bernhardt and Dusa is to manifest either dense Ignor ance or deliberate malice and talk both luinxpnse and falsehood.

It Is one of the strongest situation among the many ot strength In the whole story, and yet It 1 not even considered In the play. The "happy ending" must be had; or at lecst that Is what the com mercial manager Insist. It Is understood that Sir Gilbert one made a play from the book himself, but It was not acted, and the matter was turned over to Mr. Pres8by to produce a more "practical" ver sion.

Forrest had tre mendous power and wonierful ability. Governed, controlled, rightly directed, had he been a highly Intellectual man he would have been one of the greatest actors that have ever lived. He waa not highly In tellectual; he was physical, and he was often coarse. The radical defect of his acting was excessive realism.
