.COMBINATION romptrM to
whir h the "Theatrical trust" was
note In the overture hu Just
been completed In New Tork.
It merely embraces Terjrthlng
In the line of amusements of
fered la balls and theaters, with the poail
ble exception of lectures and ooncerta by
companies that may appear In churchea.
Frankly, tbe new combination la to govern
affaire of the amusement world In North
America. It may extend lt sphere of In-
j fluence laler to embrace other sections of
the Lord's vineyard, but for tha present
eort-on It will be content with the United
States, Canada and Mexico, first of all.
It la to control the theaters not only those
that exist: but those that may exist. Its
earliest and most persistent effort will be
to discourage the building of theaters. Tola
is a lesson from experience. The recent
revolt of the "Shuberts" aid the noble
( purpose that animated the promoters of
that scheme for putting down the "K. A
E." combination largely took on the form
of new theaters In towns that already had
enough If not actually too many. The
"Bhuberts" were Industrious builders, and
several cities now boast of beautiful thea
ters that would not have existed had not
Sam and Lee conceived the notion that the
tall could wag the dog If It could only get
the proper purchase. The scheme went
slong beautifully, even after It struck the
downhill side of the road, where every
thing was found to be greased. As soon
as the Bhuberts were out of the way "K.
& E." took a notion to do a little revolt
ing, nf their own, and burst Into the vaude
ville game with a tremendous whoop and
salaiy lits that made the old timers sit
up and take notice. Well, what happened
to ."K. & K." in vaudeville has never yet
b.'en all told, but It was enough to bold
then, and It also sufficed for Martin Beck,
D. F. Keith and one or two others who
were on the opposite stds. Out of all this
ramn a deelre to get back some of the
momma that had disappeared in the course
of three seasons of bitter and expensive
warfare. Bo the representatives of every
class of theatrical amusement from the
highest to the lowest have met In New
York, adopted preliminary agreements, and
named a committee to perfect the perma
nent, organization.
No, more theaters are to be built, so long
as those now existing are serviceable. This,
of course, subject to approval of the high
and mighty powers who will alt In New
Tork and control. ' If any man be foolish
had a varied career en the stage, em
bracing work as leading man wlh a
number of good stock companies, and work
on the road with several high class orgai
I cations. Miss Beyers has had four sea.
sons with Frohman companies one sea
son with James K. Hackett and three
seasons In stork at Buffalo and Cln-
Cincinnati. John Todd waa with the
Woodward comoany at the Burwood for
two seasons and la very popular In Omaha,
His llns of work will be new for him here,
but his versatility bas been proven In the
past, and he ought to mske good as thai
villain In almost any pray. Mr. Bacon,
Miss Jeffrey, Mr. Ingraham. Mr. Cllsbee,
Mr. Francis and Miss Meytr were at thai
Burwood last season and are well known
here. Mr. Be h rode has Just finished a
season with the Woodward company at
the Boyd. Mr. Connor comes with the ex
perience of several seasons to commend
htm. He has been with Otis Bx Inner and
Andrew Mack, In stock and In road com
panies, and Is a finished aotor. Miss
Stearns has the training of a season with
Viola Allen and m stock at the Standard
In Philadelphia and Proctor's In New
York. Bmll Hoffman has directed the or
chestra at the Burwood since It was
opened, and this 1 recommendation
enough. Mr. Johnson Is very well pleased
with -the prospect for his season.

GRAND OPERA FOR MULTITUDE
Elaborate Plaa Trala America
Masrleal Taste.
CARLSBAD, Austria, Aug. 1. Messrs.
Oattl-Casasza. Dlppel and Kahn met In
conference this morning- to discuss meas
ures for increasing the Influence and scope
of the Metropolitan opera of New York
City In fostering operatic art and culture.
A plan was adopted for making the Met
ropolitan the center of a national move
ment for extending opera throughout the
United States. The plan la modeled after
the university extension Idea. One gen
eral object la to create a universal Interest
In operatic chorus singing.
Hitherto in the United Slates choral ef
fort has confined Itself exclusively to ora
torio. Now an organised effort la to be I
effected Inviting general attention to the I
beauties and delights of operatic singing.
Local musical societies are to be induced
to study operas suggested by an advisory
council composed of competent authori
ties. Preparations for the performance of
an opera may . be carried as far as local
talent and enthusiasm will permit. As far
enough to build a theater, he may, but he'll -j as possible the Metropolitan opera will,
have a merry time to get any company to whenever requested, lend Its co-operation

the general terms of this agreement were
n violated. It was strictly a family
fisht, and at no time did either side mani
fest the leant desire to negotiate with the
"Independents." Colonel Harrison Orey
Pinks and David Belasco, with a tew other
misguided persons, who evidently do not
know what is good for them, will continue
in outer darkness the same as before. No
mention Is made In the list of component
parts of the new octupus of Sullivan &
Oonsldlne, who still have a considerable
string of theaters throughout the country
The Orpheum circuit has gobbled up sev
eral Sullivan Sk. Consldtne houses In th
northwest, but has not yet obliterated the
circuit. If this firm Is left out of the
new trust, it will be of service to Omaha,
for It will leave" the Burwood theater open,
as now, to the uses of Mrs. Flske, David
Warfteld. Bertha Kallch and others of the
"Independents." The Boyd Is booked by
Klaw Eilangnr and the Krug by Stair
ac Havlln. Of course the Orpheum will
continue as always, under the general di
rection of Martin feck. About the only
really sad thing about the whole situation
Is that It will deprive the tolling builders
of the local yellow Journals of their winter
amusement of erecting theaters all over
Omaha.

It wont be so long after all the time with
out sometliing doing at the theaters In
Omaha. Next Sunday the Krug will blow
In, and the report Is that It will have a
en busy season, with a lot of attractions
better than usual. . In another fortnight
the Burwood follows, and then the
Orpheum a week later. The Boyd will
open a couple of days earlier than the
Burwood, so that In the three weeks the
local theaters will all be running aa usual.
and the clttaens will have ample variety
to make selection from In the matter of
amusement. Manager Johnson this week
announces the names of his' company for
the era. on at the Burwood. and makes
promise of a list of plays that will attract
the puljllr. He says, la connection with
his n-'eill'v.. that "stock" Is no longer a
nove'iy In 'Omaha, and that to make his
venture pay he must have something to
ettikft iijf people to his theater. This
piuani a orcpetent 'company, well equipped
with scenery and accessories, satisfactorily
presenting good plays. The list of plays
be proposes lo offer during the winter
Is a giud one, containing the beat work
of th modern authors, and covering the
range 'of tragedy, society drama, comedy
and faros, few of them ever having been
offered here by a stock organisation. Until
Mr. Baoon's return from California, soma
time this week, tt will not be determined
what play will be used for th opening bill,
but tt will very likely b Henry Arthur
Jones' "Th Whitewashing of Julia." This
pleo Is favored, for It will serv to In.
troduc the entire ootapans, as well as give
each member a ood chsao to Indicate
what may be looked for during th winter.
-
Th company selected by Mr. Johnson
will be mad up of Mtse Lorna Eulloti,
leading woman; William A. Grew, Wading
man; Miss Clara 'Sybil Beyers, second
wctnan; Jt-hn Todd, luivwi; Frank W.

at th Burwood for
during the season of Uus.
SJd etajsswd a wonderful rapacity for the
Bar rettara will be welcomed by
by sending efficient soloists and furnishing
whatever else may be requisite to enable
a satisfactory performance. Communities
that are favorably situated may want
whole cast. Including scenery, th visiting
cast comprising a small stock chorus of
experts to act as leaders of the local
chorus with which It Is combined.
A National League of Metropolitan Opera
Clubs will carry the plan Into operation.
Lectures, Illustrated by photographic rec
ords and stereoptlcon slides picturing
scenes from the operas will be supplied to
promote the organisation of local clubs
for the study and performance of the
opera.
A graded list of operas recommended for
study will be Issued. Advice will be fur
nished as to where and how reliable vocal
scores of these operas may be obtained
and what omissions. If any. may be found
advisable. Plans for suitable production
of opera will b suggested, whether wlih
or without scenic repreeentatlons, perform
ances varying according to th financial
ability and willingness of localities from
operallo concert or opera in concert form
to the staging of whole acts and the giving
of an entire opera. '
A museum and library Is to be developed,
possibly in connection with the new
theater, for the collection of books, manu
scripts, photographs, costumes, and what
ever else may be helpful to the fullest
obtainable Information concerning opera
In all Its bearings. With It will be con
nected a bureau of Information fur the
use of members of the National League
of Metropolitan Opera clubs.
Soma of th beneficial purposes which
the managers of the Metropolitan opera
expect to accomplish through the work
ing of the educational enterprise are these:
Greater number of people may become
acquainted with the delights of opera, to
the enrichment of their lives. A stimulus
will be afforded to the idea of private
and public endowment of opera In many
localities. A wide-spread Interest In opera
will bring out original effort along operatic
lines so that the numbers of American
writers of librette and composers of music
will grow and American artists may In
creasingly compete with the artists of other
countries In winning honors in the field
of ' operatic creation and interpretation.
Incidentally the Metropolitan opera hopes
to solve that troublesome problem of re
cruiting an Intelligent chorua without hav
ing to depend upon going abroad In search
of desirable material. Participation by
lovers of music In the local opera choruses
will no doubt develop aa abundance of
latent talent.
The chief thought behind the organi
sation of the National League of Metro
politan Opera clubs Is that opera Is the
most efflcent agency for spreading musical
culture. The Increase of the leisure hours
of the working man In this country calls
for a corresponding Increase of desirable
forms of amusement, for th welfare of
society alone.. It for no other reasons.
Music, because of the university of its
appeal, combined with drama, as It Is In
opera. Is believed to be peculiarly cal
culated to get hold of th whole man, and
while affording him pleasure and re
creation, adds at the same time to the sum
of culture. Th headquarters of tbe
league will be th Metropolitan opera In
New Yprk City. Active membership is
limited to local clubs, Ufa directors, and
th permanent officers of the league, as
sociate and sustaining memberships are
opon to Individuals and organisations.

pursue. The machine Is called "The But
terfly." The picture to be .shown la posi
tively of the Identical flying; machine, ac
counts of which the dally papers have
chronicled during the last few days, and It
la no small bit of enterprise on the part
of the Burwood management In showing
this picture first In Omaha and so soon
after the tests at Brighton Beach. The
balance of the program will be up to the
customary standard of Burwood excellence.
The moving pictures will be continued only
this week and next, as the re-openlng of
the Burwood Stock company Is announced
for Saturday evening, August 23.
Tolstoy's "Resurrection" will be the of
fering of the Hlllman Stock company at
the Air Dome this week. This play, given
In Omaha several years ago by Blanche
Walsh, Is perhaps the most pretentious bill
yet attempted by this company. The play,
composed of five acts, requires special
scenery, and the management has engaged
outside professional talent to assist In fill
ing up the large cast. Next week "The
Pearl of Savoy" will be given, and In the
following week a different bill will be
given every night to mark this season's
farewell of this popular company.
Have you the bathing mania? It Is the
new disease that has been epidemic in
Omaha, Council Bluffa and South Omaha
for the laxt few weeks. It la not only a
most popular mania during the hot
weather and a great relief from the torrid
rays of Old Sol, but It Is alao as much a
says tt Is like good wine, and Improves with
age. Innea, early in his musical career,
made up hs mind that there waa one great
fundamental to work for In music, namely,
tone. Not quantity of tone, but quality.
It Is not so long since, that band players,
in arguing for th superior merits of their
respective organisations, would claim pre
cedence on tbe ground that one played
louder than the other. But this is all
changed, until now the palm of superiority
Is universally awarded to beauty and purity
of tone, a result unquestionably due to th
refined methods which Innes brought about
In his wonderful organisation. Th fact
that some notable operatic alnsjers are to
take part, promses to make the perform
ance memorable. Most prominent among
these artists ar Virginia Ustemann, so
prano; Signer Pexrettl, tenor; Slgnor Zara,
baritone, and H. J. WUltama, harpist.

Moving pictures still hav th call at
th Burwood, which theater la packed
continually every evening from T to 11.
with goodly crowds every afternoon from

th high class of the programs offered
nothing but what' Is absolutely clean and
free from anything suggestive ever finding
a place on the carefully ohoaen programs
offered at th Burwood from week to week.
The aame high standard of dignity and ex

though the excellent Burwood Stoock oaim

the throngs which fill the Burwood night

will be offered today. Conspicuous on this
new program will be a moving picture of
th Henry Farman airship, which was
demonstrated during th forepart of the
week as being an airship that really fllea.
The demonstrations were made at Brighton
Various executive people have taken
their turn at managing a concert series
in Omaha. Next season (1908-9) Mrs. W.
W. Turner will give way to Miss Evelyn
B. Hopper. MLhs Hopper has been for
several years In New York. She spent
her days working for the Harper Bros.
PulUhlng company and her evenings with
what physical energy she could muster
in studying singing with Oscar Saengar
and pursuing other branches of musical
work. The daytime hours were necessary
to gather the wherewithal to pay for the
music lesson. A girl with enough pluck
and courage to plan and carry out such
a regime should have the necessary gifts
and persistence to pull off a aeries of
first class concerts, even in our luke-warm
artistic metropolla. W wish her luck. On
her list of attractions are Madame Ze Is
le r, who has reaped many, many new lau
rels since she was last heard at Boyd's
theater, under Mr. Horace Q. Burt's man
agement; Corlnne Rlder-Kelsey, a tre
mendously successful American singer,
who this season made her operatic debut
at Covent Garden in London; Arthur Hart
man, the wonderful violinist, and Uwyhn
Miles, who has not sung yet In Omaha,
but enjoys a very fine reputation In the
east.
The artists employed In the series are
to be approved by such patronesses aa
Mrs. W. W. Turner, Mrs. Myron Learned
and Mrs. Douglas Welpton. If it la neces
sary to make any changes In the names
of the artists, the ones substituted will
be of the first rank.
Miss Hopper deserves success. Music
lovers should com gladly to her financial
