management of Hudson A Judah, offering
her never-to-be-forgotten production of

and "The New Tork Idea." This year she
Is giving her time to Ibsen, making "Ros

again cored heavily, the critic all along
her route uniting in a choru of praise for
the results she has achieved, not only In
the way of her art. but In the light she
has thrown on one of the phases of the
great problems handled .by, the Norwegian
dramatist.

Harry B. Smith has written so many

a guaranty of It excellence. This It why
the coining production of "The Lightning
Conductor" at the Boyd Is looked to wltn
such expectation of good things Dy ine
followers of the Woodward Stock company,
ho are becoming more numerous every
day. The play is made by Mr. Smith from
the novel by the Williamson and ha been
great success In New York and otner
cities where It has been seen. It will be
offered here this week for the first time.
It haa three acts snd six scenes, and deals
with the eternal triangle of two men and a
glil only In a little different way. Briefly
the story tells of a young woman who is
traveling In France with her maiden aunt.
making a Journey by motor. The motor
breaks down and they, are deserted by their
chauffeur. A young Englishman finds them
In their predicament and In true knightly
style proceeds to rercue them. In order to
do It right he assumes the character of his
own chauffeur ar.d engages to see the dis
tressed females safely through. The young
woman a little more than half suspects the
ruse, but the fun is not me less on una
account. Of course the other man butt In
In the person of a Frenchman, and a lot
of other folk are concerned In the action
of the play, the entire company being shown
during Its action. The locale, south I' ranee,
admit of much color In scenery and set
tings, and this has been fully taken ad
vantage of by Mr. Livingstone, who Is
making a great name for himself here as
a producer. The first performance will be
given this afternoon and the play will run
through the week, with other matinees on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Tomorrow evening the much heralded
company of German players open a three
days' engagement at the Burwood, playing
a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. The
fact that thla company is brought here by
the management of a first-class theater
lends much dignity to the engagement
aside from serving as a .guaranty that
the company is of the highest order of
excellence. What Mrs. Flske Is to her
particular field so are the Ackermann &
Wengefeld German plavers to its own
field, for no better company of players in
the German tongue was ever organised.
That the thousands of German-speaking
people in Council Bluffs, Omaha and
South Omaha are Intensely Interested In
this engagement la evidenced by the con
stant demand that has been made for
tickets ever since the seat sale opened a
week ago. That the company will be wel
comed to Omaha by a representative Ger
man audience at the Burwood tomorrow
evening Is assured. The repertoire chosen
for presentation here is still another proof
of the high grade of dramatic offerings
which the company interpret, they having
been taken from the best works of such
noted German literary men a Schonthan,
Kadelberg, Knelsel, Walter Bloem and the
great Sudermann. Tomorrow evening the
company will play "Der Herr Senator;'
Tuesday evening, "Derr Jubllaumn Brun
nen:" Wednesday matinee, "Derr Llebe
pnkel; Wednesday evening, "Die Schmet
terllng Bchlacht." -
Mrs. Flske will play an engngement at
the Burwood next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, when, with the Manhattan com
pany, she will present Ibsen's powerful
play, "Roamereholm." It is not likely that
Mrs. Flake's admirers will want 'to mlsi
"Rosmersholm,"' for the part of Rebecca
West, which Mrs. Fiske assumes. Is t
character study of ambition, love and ex
platlon. Rebecca West Is one of the Intelll
gent, fascinating, highly strung women
whom Mrs. Flske Is best of all fitted to
portray. Her life story brings her through
sceDes of emotional stress to an tnJlng re
plete with tragic beauty and significance.
It is In these latter scenes of the play that
Mrs. Flske's finest acting Is contributed
The drama Itself never ceases to absorb
the auditor's Interest. It deals with people
and matters of today, and while tbe scene
is laid In Norway, the action might with
equal truth be happening In this country
Involved with the love Interest that I the
dominant note, there is also depleted the
strife between the progressive and con
servatlv forces In social and rilplois
thought, but these matters the big phlloro
phy which the thinker will find In "Rov
mersholm" are all secondary to the fact
that first of all the play is a play; It Is a
drama of the most Intense realistic sort and
a masterpiece of the greatest of modern
playwrights. Opinions are agreed that I
could hardly be better acted than by the
present cast, for not only Mrs. Flske, but
the members of the Manhattan company,
give performance of the highest merit
The fine result of acting for the play and
not for individuals are again evident here
as In all the productions staged Yy Mr.
and Mrs. Flske. The comiany contain
some new faces this year. The cast In
eludes Arthur Forrest, George Arllss, Pul
ler Melllsh, Albert Brunlng and Mary Mad
dern. Needless to say the settings are 1
the best of taste. There will be a matlne
Saturday afternoon.

,t"8T ninety-nine years ago today '
Joseph Haydn, the father of
the forms of music called the
"Symphony" , and the "String
Quartet," passed away from
this earth.
The nickname or pet name, "Papa
Haydn," was first bestowed upon him' by
Mozart, who was devoted to him, and
whose genius Haydn enthusiastically rec
ognized and proclaimed. Ever since that
time the affectionate and endearing term
has been identified with his name.
Haydn Is another example of the fact
that great men, llke groat trees, do not
grow in glrtss houses. In his early life he
was subjected to hard discipline from his
cousin-teacher, Johnn Mathlas Frv 'h
but in later years he said: "I shHll be
grateful to that man as long as I live, for
keeping me so hard at work, though I used
to get more flogging than food.
Haydn was always a practical loker, afid
quite early In his career he suffered for
his rashness. In such a way that one would
think he had been curnd.
But such an exuberant nature was not
to be curbed by punishment.
He got hold of a bright new pair of
scissors In school one day,' (the school was
In connection with 6t. Stephen's cathedral
In Vienna, In which he' sang "the boy whu
had a voice like a nightingale's and as
clear and pure as a bell.") He was anx
loua to try the scissors on the queue, or
pigtail, of one of his companions. One
snip did the work, and little Joseph, or
"Bepperl," as he was called, (Sepperl being
a dialect form for Joseph in that place)
was caught "with tbe goods," alias the
scissors, and sentenced to receive twelve
blows with the ferrule. He begged to be
allowed to leave the school rather than
suffer the Indignity of public punishment,
but he was caned, and dismissed!
Poor little Joseph! He could not go back
home, for the disgrace of having been dis
missed would be Intolerable. He could not
do anything with his voice, for It had
begun to break, and the Empress Maria
Theresa had but recently said that hi
singing was like "the crowing of a cock
more than anything else." He walked all
night, which seemed an eternity, and wa
discovered asleep on a bench next day by
his former friend and school fellow, Spang
ler. Spangler was the tenor soloist at 8t
Michael's, and through his hospitality
which was as slim materially as It wa
abundant Intentionally he got through th
winter. But he felt that he could not fur
ther trespass on the Spanglers. who were
themselves very poor, and through tb
klnrimsa of Ignas Keller, a wlgmaker, h
secured arartmnts, where he lived with
the old worm-eaten piano, or harpsichord
"as happy as a king," and where he could
have time to practice, without hindrance,
on Ms violin, and pore over the sonata
for clavier by Emanuel Bach.
Later he fell In love with Josepha Keller
but she took the vows and the veil of
nun, and so Joseph, who was nothing If not
obliging, married, at the solicitation
Father Keller, the older sister. Maria
Anna, who was three years older tlia
Haydn. He took this step merely to show
his gratitude to til benefactor, and h
r..r.iin it ever after. "Mary Anne'
must certainly have been a darllr.g and
dellaht. for one biographer describee he
aa "heartless, patsior.ately quarrclous,
Avharlnt. extravagant," while another
calls her a "vixen, quarrelsome, a rwligtou
bigot, recklessly extravagant, and utterly
unarnreclattve of her husbands gen;us;
til! another de-cribes her at "a reguls
v.ntlooe. hcsrtless, unsoclshle, qitsrre!
some, extravagant." while the unfortunate
Haydn himself says that she "did not care
a strsw whether he was an artist or
cobbler." So much lor Mrs. nayan
Porpora, for whom Haydn did all kinds of
menial duties In order to obtain instruc
tion. He brushed his master's clothes, and
cleaned his shoes, and studied tho gentle
rts of cursing and counterpoint, tho for
mer by hearing, and the latter by practic
ing, and in spite of the Irascible old gen
tleman's treatment, the sunny disposition
of Haydn did not become clouded, nor the
iweet and simple nature of the youth turn
sour.
By and by, he fell in with the old Prince
Esterhazy, a family whose name is Illus
trious in the support of music and musi
cians. He took up his abode In E-lscn-stadt
and became the Intimate friend and
associate of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy.
Here he could forget the trials of the past.
as he had a chorus, solo singers and an
orchestra, and was deeply engrossed in
church services, concerts and even operas.

in his diary there occurs this statement
"Mrs. Bl.aw Is the most beautiful woman
I ever saw."
Ma ,ia m Polzelli. a singer, was for
time the object of Haydn's most ardent

a t,rv is told of a charming inclden
nt one of the sittings when Sir Joshua

"Bt. Cecelia listening to celestial music;
Haydn admired the picture, but drew at
tention to a "atrang., mistake." Sir
Joshua waa eager, of course, to know
what It was. whereupon the happy wit
and compliment tollowed from Haydn.

and a nature full of love for country, f r
fellow man and tor liod.
A few days before his desth he played
this over three limes with deep feeling in
the presence of his servants, and It was
his last message to earth before he left.
This Is not sup'.J to be a sketch of
the life of Haydn, but a mere brief re
minder of the great genius who passed to
other spheiea nlnity-n'ne years ago today.
And at these milestones it Is well that
we should stop, and think, and remember.
