Gossip About Plays, Players and Playhouses
R. JOKEi'lt COTNB 1) has
1 ft 1 bpn promote!, you know, and
JV1 I ' o b re-gular star licre-
anrr, ann not merely a musical
comwllan Ms. Joseph Coyne
turns liH footsteps homowtrd
from warwie-rtns; on the London Rtrand
with anmethlng of regret. Ha expresses
It with fnmHhlnit okln to poignancy. Mr.
Coyne dne-sn't find British audiences more
agreeable than Americans; oh. no. that's
not It. American audiences are quite well
In their way. you know, and grawsp the
point quit aa readily as do the London
ers, and even express their appreciation
for a favorite actor or actress with proper
enthusiasm. But Its off the stage that
the trouble begins. In London, don't you
know, an actor Is quite somebody, while
In America he Is quite nobody. Now,
ain't It awful, Mabel? Such beastly
bore, to be sure, to have to be mistaken
for, let us say a bank person, or maybe
a tailor chap, when in reality you ere an
actnr, and therefore fit to rank with an
artist or a poet or a literary feller. And
yet this Is not the worst of Indignities
Mr. Coyne la compelled to endure la
America. Over here, you know, the man
agsrs do not pay sufficient deference to
the actor, and the stage hands huh: not
at all; nothing doing there In the dofer
thing. Fawncy! Why, the stage hand
actually thinks he Is as good as the
ctor. Oh. dear! Wonder what ilr.
Coyne would say If he were to come to
Omaha and wat' h the electrician f one
of the theaters go scooting around the
Village In his own automobile and It's
not a two-cylinder runabout, eyether?
Once on a time an actnr whe thought '
he had established himself In "little old
Is" Tawk" reached Chicago on his way
around the outer orbit over which star
have to go occasionally, whether they like
It or not, and In a fit of petulance unbur
dened himself of the sentiment that when
ever he got away from Broadway he feit
aa If he were Just camping out. That
was several year ago. and the record In
dicates that he Is still camping out. At
any rate, Broadway knows him no more,
save aa a memory, and the lust time one
retails having seen his name In print it
was mentioned In connection 'with that of
a chorus lady who was about to bo wedded
to a Tonopah millionaire, and who tossed
her head when the former Broadway pet
was mentioned. "What?" she snorted.
"Me marry a fat old mnn with three
Chins? Huh!" Even Broadway foigetj.
And once another matinee Idol, who
thought he had firmly ensconced l.lmxelf
In the vpotllght along the Great White
Wuy. bitterly complained that he a
a. ked to come as far west as Omaha,
)u i to show himself In a play he had
discarded severul seasons before. But ho
ha been back here since, and to all out
ward appearances was glad to get back;
at ail events, he voiced his pleasure at
tcclnc so many people in the house and
h-?J that when he enmc unother season
lij would still be as popular. He has
found out that the American dollar
recognizes neither ilase distinctions nor
Geographical linos. ar-.d that It U as
potent In one atclion of the country as
another.
No gocd reason u bis why either of these
gentlemen s.iould not prefer New York to
any part of tic country outside of New
York. Lots of people, do; some folks are
so fur lost as t want to live In Kansas
City. New York Is the center of the
wealth and the fashion of the country, and
presents attractions for the actor folks
that no other city can offer. If an actor
bus so well established himself that he
does not need to leave "Broadway," which
ir.eans the very center and core of the
stags world In America, he Is fortunate
and even to be envied hy his fellows. But
lie ought to be magnanimous, and should
not sneer at the rest of poor mortality,
many of whom actually spend their days
without ever getting a whiff of those
blessed aire that prrfu.jie the vicinity of
Herald square and r.ever have to blink at
the effulgent radUnie that lights up Broad
way. :Most of the treat actors aro gUd of
the opportunity of taking their art to the
people who can not come to It, and re
joice when they are able to show a little
of the Immortal light of genius In the outer
places of the world. It is much to be re
gretted, though, that Mr. Coyne's destiny
is leading him tck from the pleasant
servility of dear old tendon, where a serv
ant knows his place, to the atmosphere of
democracy In which a stagehand has actu
ally been known to take a punch at an
actor's face because of sufficient provoca
tion. Soma mighty good actors have sur
vived ' the condition, though, and maybe
Mr. Joseph Coyne will. And If the public
will take him as seriously as he takes lilm
elf he will surely be a hit In his new line
it work.

the operations and schemes of the whole
country, theatrically speaking. In the Klaw
& Erlanger offices in the New Amsterdam
Theater building. New York, which are also
the executive effices of Al. Hayman, Klaw
ft l&rlanger, which transacts the business
it th so-called theatrical syndicate, book
ings are looked after for a circuit of
theaters comprising 85 per cent of the
Clrst-otass playhouse in the United Statu
ind an equal percentage of t!:e first-clan
traveling compunles.
Klaw & Erlanger manage more theaters
than any firm In this country, and In the
last ten years. In conjunction with their
associates, they have built several play
houses, among them being two In New
Orleans, two In Chicago, the New Amster
dam theater and roof garden and the Lib
erty theater In New Yoik and the prac
tical reconstruction of the Interior of the

COMPLEXION THAT LASTS
Barmleaa preparation Better Than Faint
and Powder.
You, dear madam, you who are now read
ing this paragraph, will be Interested in
this easy-to-make toilet preparation if you
car for your complexion; you will be
particularly Interested if you do not ap
prove of the use of powder and paint.
We all realise that some aid must be given
to the skin to keep the complexion clear,
white, soft and velvety during the trying
months of Summer, when perspiration
brings that annoying shine and gloss.
Eppotone Is one of the best knomn aids to
a beautiful complexion. It la compara
tively Inexpensive and It Is easy to pre
pare. Get at your druggist 2 ounce of
Rose Water, I ounce of Cologne spirits
and 4 ounces of Eppotone. Take the
home and put the Lppotone in a pint of
hot water (not boiling) and after dis
solved strain and let cool, then add the
Hose Water and Cologne Spirits. This
excellent face wash should be applied
dally. It Is harmles and lu use cannot
be detected, for It does not rub off or
how. For preventing or removing frevk
sla. tan and sunburn there Is nothlag so
gud M Eputone.
terested In New York In the Brcmdway
theater are the lessees with Cohan &
Harris of the new Gaiety theater, which
opens In September, and are Joint lessees
wKh A I. Tlayman and Charles Frohman
of the Knickerbocker theater. With their
associate, they also recently purchased
the Park theater, Philadelphia.
The firm will send on the road next year
the never-falling "Ben Hur," which In
augurates Its tenth season. Mclntyre &
Henth will go on tour with a new play.
"The Round I'p" is to make what la prac
tically Its first road tour, as It hss been
seen only In the four largest cities.
"Forty-FTve Minutes From Broadway" also
goes on the road again, as will Messrs.
Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts In
th dramatisation of Sir Gilbert Parker's
"The Ripht of Way." In conjunction with
Mr. Joseph Brooks, Miss Lillian Russell's
tour in "Wildfire" will be resumed after
her New York engagement.
In the spectacular field, Klaw & Kr
langer expect to evolve the largest musical
production ever attempted In this country
when they place on the stage "Little
Nemo." which will be presented for the
first time this autumn. They will also
present a new play by Paul Armstrong
culled "In Time of Peace;" a piny by
Langdon Mitchell dealing with the colonial
period In our history; an elaborate melo
drama by Edmund Pay. the author of
"The Round t'p," and a comedy hy the
same authr r, entitled, "The Widow's Mite,"
In which Lillian Russell will appear later

Lamh," with Carle & Marks, and in the
three "Merry Widow" companies with
Colonel Henry W. Savage. The managers
mentioned above have their own systems

In his own way. but In their association
with Klaw & Erlanger will have the ad
vantage afforded by probably the greatest
theatrical organisation In the world to ex
ploit attractions In whlchthey are Inter
ested Jointly.
ENGLAND PLACE FOR THE ACTOH
Treated With Far More Respect by
" Everybody.
LONDON, June 24 (Special Correspond
ence.) "I am sorry to leave England," said
Joseph Coyne to me a few days ago, "be
cause, from the viewpoint of the actor,
England Is a far better place than the
I'nlted States. The actor has a standing
here; he has none In America. In Eng
land he Is placed on a level with the artist
or the lawyer or any other professional
mnn. If he coiducts himself properly he
is respected. In the United States he Is
a liamfatter' and more or less of an out
cast. "Relilnd the scenes also the actor In
England has a happier time than In the
United States. He gets better and more
considerate treatment from the managers.
The stage hands and other employees show
him a deference unknown In America. In
the United States a servant is as good as
his master and wants everybody to know It.
"Between American and English audi
ences I see absolutely no difference. If
they like you they like you. and If they
don't, they don't. It is the same In both
countries. So far as I have been able
to discover there Is no prejudice In Eng
land against either American players or
American plays."
Coyne said this In talking of his coming
return to the United States. For although
"The Merry Widow" shows no signs of
diminishing drawing power, the American
comedian sails for New York on August 1.
With Alexander Carlisle, a young English
actress who was Nat Goodwin's leading
woman In England, he will appear at the
Garrlck, New York, In "The Mollusc" un
der Charles Frohman's management. I
don't know of any theatrical change of
the near future so Interesting as this trans
ition of Coyne from musical comedy to le
gitimate drama. The comedian himself Is
delighted.
"I am tickled to death at the change,"
he told me. "One can't be a musical com
edy comedian all his life. When the gray
hairs begin to appear and to disappear
you're tossed In the scrap heap. You're a
'has been" and the younger boys come
along .and put you out of business. Al
though I am still a young fellow, the
change had to come sooner or later, and
when Charles Frohman offered me this
chance I Jumped at It. I was a hit shaky
myself, but we have been rehearsing for
some weeks and Frohman la satisfied with
my work, so what else have I got to
worry about? We all know our parts and
could open tomorrow If necessary."
One of the prettiest musical comedies I
have evei seen is Gustav Luders' "Wooel
lami." I heHr that after all these months
lit Is to be produced in London at the
Adelphl In October. Luders' "Prince of
Pllsen" was produced at the Shaftesbury
I tome years ag-, and besides pleasing the
British public served to introduce them to
Camllle Clifford, whom they took to their
hearts and subjeijuently married to a fu
ture peer. The composer has been in
Germany, searchlr-g. it Is said, for a new
libretto, but Intends to return to the United
States In time for the production of his
new operette, "Marcelle." An application
came In this meek, by the way, for the
Danish and Norwegian rights of the
"Prince of Pllsen."
Tomorrow evening Fannie Ward will pro
duce at Terry's theater Eugene Walter's
one-act play. 'The Flag Station," to pre
cede "The Three of Us." Wag., mils at
Kemer have already made arrangements
to present Annie Russell In the Journalist
dramatist's "Paid In Full" In London. In
the fall.
At last Cyril Maude, who is universally
beloved In England, has an unmistakable
success, after along run of hard luck. He
has been blamed for producing poor plays,
but he retorts that they were the only
sort he could get. The audience at tile
Playhouse on Tuesday night., however
cheered itself hoarse over "The Flag Lieu
tenant." It Isn't a great play, but Major
Drury and Leo Trevor, who wrote It.
know their business, and the situations
were so well managed, and the "curtains,"
In particular, so effective, that everybody
was happy, even though It waa evident
almost from the beginning how the plot
was to end.
It U a story about a villain and without
malice. Of two pals In the navy, one hnd
never l.ad a chance to distinguish him
self and wasn't in a position to ask the
hand of his lady love till he could bring !.t i
a bit of glory to bahir.ee her wealth. The
other hud cuine Into money and was going
to leave the s-rvlce anyway. They get
into a tight corner In a skirmish with the
Bashl-Bazouke. and Fal No. 1 conceives
an idea for rescuing the beleaguered men
at the risk of his life. Jist as he starts
to carry It out he Is bowled over by n
bullet that h avts him unconscious, so Jolly,
happy-go-lucky, skylarking Fal Nj. 2 (who
Is Cyril Maude) takes nn the Job and gets
back alive, though wounded. When No. 1
comes around his memory is gone, and he
supposes he has carried out his plan him
self. No. 2 hasn't the heart to undeceive
him, and no one else knows, so he says
No. 1 did it. But where, then, was No. 2
meanwhile, asks the superior offlcr, who
never liked No. 1.
Cyril Maude says he won't tell win re he
was, and ugly rumors get about that he
got frightened and had hid. When they
get back home to the ladies In the third
act No. 1 Is the hero and gets all the
laurel, and likewise his Widy love. No. 2
gets threatened with a court of Inquiry ar.d
his lady love Is heartbroken. No. 1 sticks
to hlm and says he knows his old friend
Is shleleding someone, and implores hint
to tell the facts, regardless of conse
quences, not suspecting that he himself is
the man who would be ruined by the rev
elation. It makes a good sltuutlon and. of
course, all ends happily with a scenic dis
play on the deck of a battleship and with
the band playing "God Save the King."
The advance "booking" for the play cl
ready amounts to I'.O.rOO. One reason for
the success of the play is that It gives
Winifred Emory (Mrs. Maude) the best
part she has hnd for many a season.
Sir John Haro, began his farewell ap
pearances this week in "A Pair of Spec
tacles," In which he has been appearing
at Intervals ever since Sydney Grundy
adapted It from the French eighteen years
ago. Old-fashioned uml out-of-date as it
Is, the play Is one to be seen by every
budding dramatist as an. Illustration of the
solid sense of the old advice y play
wrights: "Tell the audience whit" you are
going to do; then let them see you doing
it; then tell them what you have dune."
And as for the acting, the veteran John
Hare supplies all the finesse and delicate
effects of light and shade thut the play
lacks.
Coquelln, who Is to France what John
Hare Is to England. Is also here, and play
ing this week In Sardou's "L'AffuIre des
Poisons" with a well-nigh perfect company
at His Majesty's theatre, Including the
beautiful Gilda Dnrthy, who Is the
"Madame de Montespan" of this expert
picture of the. days of Louis XIV. Suffice
It to say that the passing years have not
robbed Coquelln of one Jot or tittle of his
greatness.

Com I n -z Events.
Laughter will be on tap ut the Boyd dur
ing the week, for the Woodward Stock
company Is going to devote its attention
to the proper presentation of one of the
merriest comedies over written, "Mr.
Smooth," In which Willie Collier made
one of his greatest successes. It Is In
threo acta and each act is a scream by
itself. Mr. Morrlaon will bo the Mr. Smooth
of the cast, and will devote his time to
lying himself out of one predicament and
Into another; Miss Fleming will bo the Vera
Vane, the girl from Chicago, of the cast,
and Miss Spencer' will be keen In the role
of the maiden sister of the retired banker.
Mr. Bemlsh Is down for a good comedy
part, and so Is Mr. Poulter. The others of
the company aro well situated, and Di
rector Kirk promises a good production.
The first performance will be given at a
matinee this afternoon.
The five-act southern drama, "In Louisi
ana." will bo tho attraction at the Air
Dome this week. The piece was made fa
mous hy Hal Spooner In the part of Wana
tee, the Indian, several years ago, under
the personal direction of Mr. Hlllman. The
play deals with the slave days before the
war. McClusky, a designing overseer, de
sires to obtain possession of the plantation
and In attempting to do so murders a post
boy and obtains possession of valuable doc
uments relating to the estate. The play
will be given every night with elaborate
specialties between acts.
Notwithstanding that the Fourth of July
yesterday was the biggest day ever known
In the history of the park, the Manawa
management are expecting a record-breaking
crowd today and preparations are be
ing made accordingly. Many pleasure
seekers who visited the resort the Fourth
will be more than anxious to patronize
the park again today, as nearly every at
traction which was on yesterday's special
program will be repeated Sunday, with the
exception of the beautiful pyrotechnic dis
play, which received much pralce and com
mendation from every onlooker. The Man
awa concert band will render an entirely
new musical program, the feature of which
will be a solo by the leader. I'rof. Charles
Jones. Daredevil Andrew will make a bal
loon ascension and promises a thriller for
all those who enjoy aerlnl stunts. The Ca
sino will have a new and pleasing variety
show; their motion picture reproduction of
Peck's bad boy Is a great comedy and
will moke the most "lemon" dlspos.tioned
person laugh. The great popularity of the
bathing feature was evidenced yesterday,
the largest patronage ever known at Man
hattan beach taking a cool plunge In the
limpid waters.

Caroline B. Nichols Is the leader of a
popular woman a orchestra, the Fadettes,
playing in vaudeville. The other day she
was talking of woman's clubs to Walt?r
Anthony In San Frunclsco. "When a wo
man's sons grow beards and establish
homes of their own," she said; "when her
daughters grow up and out of her life;
wlii'n her husband, old and prosperous,
seeks hla nightly ease ut the club then
that woman has a fine refuge in a club of
her own, where she may work and keep
her n.lnd busy; where she may forget some
shattered Ideals and enjoy the sensation
of doing a share In the big world's work.
Hut not for me; after I've finished re
hearsing my girls, straightened out some
internal troubles, warned six or seven sus
ceptible ones not to net married, seen about
the tickets, and entertained a drooping
head and weeping eyes on my shoulder
say, wouldn't I b.ok nice going to a club
to start something'.'"
"Do you think the only thing In the world
I have on my nilnd is Just to get up in
front of my girls twice a day and with
baton In hand wave some hlerogl vphlcs
against the air?" continued Mrs. Nichols.
"Taking twenty-two ycung Women across

that's my big worry-keeping my glrla
Singh'. What makes me boll to the roots
of my hair, though. Is to read that we play
like girls. We do not. We play like musi
cians: There Is no sex In music."

MARKET RATES FOR TITLES
f per I men Prices Paid by Amerlenn
Heiresses for Titled Ilns
bt nds.
Every few months, nys a writer In the
BroHdwny M.isn7'.ne. we learn of the mar
riage of son-.e An eilcan heiress to a tilted
Englishman or German or Frenchmin.
How many of us nnll.-.e to the full nil that
such a m.irrlacc means. I have hefre me
a tabulated statement (prepared by an ex
pert) of the recent market rites cf titles
for our daughters and grandsons, and the
showing Is nne tr give us all the gravest
concern. It must be undcrstooel that the
f'gnres In no case Include the ciene of
cab-hlng the titled person and luring hlm
to a plafe where he can be lassicd or the
lariat gotten over his head, but only the
bare rash raid on the nail for the title
Itself. It should also be remembered that
besides money the bsresln Includes the
daughter, and to the crudely sentimental
that Is still something of an Item. I must
concede. I have -omitted In these sales the
names of the purchasers, because to give
them might seem to Indicate a lack of
reverence fur the highest orders, of which
I could never be guilty. It Is. 1 think, suf
ficient to number the cases In the manner
of a medical report, being well assured
few Intelligent American men, and cer
tainly not eme American woman, will fall
to supply In.Mnntly from memory the de
leted names. I begin with th lat at records
of the market nnd proceed In reverse
chrsnologlcal order for fifteen years, which
I think Is long enough to prove my iolnt:

BUT IT SAVED THE BABY
Reassuring? Effect of Month-Filling;
Words When Used by m.
Doctor.
"When people lri our part of the country
select a family physician they stick to
him."' says Dr. John Matthews of Illinois,
who is visiting friends In Woshlngton. "If
ho goes away, they Won't call In somebody
else If they can possibly help It. They have
faith in nobody but their own man, so long
as he manages to be fairly successful. Last
sprlr-g I went up to Chicago for a few days,
much to the distress of a young mother In
our town, who expects me to Inspect her
only baby every' other day at least. The
second day of my stay she telegraphed me
to come home at once. Baby was sick
she told me the trouble she didn't know
what to do. It wasn't an urgent case I
knew, so I wired back a reassuring mes
sage, told her to give the baby a dose of
some medicine that she had at hand, and
to fill out the ten words I put ln "Prognosis
admirable." I always like to use large
words when I'm telegraphing makes me
feel that I'm getting the worth of my
money, you know. When I got home two
days later I went to see the baby.
" 'She's all right now," tho mother told
me. 'but we were awfully worried. We
had to rely on tho medicine you left,
though. The boy at the drug store said
they didn't have a bit of prognosis ln the
place." "Washington Herald.
