T1IK OLD, ul.U 8TOH Y"
MAHA theaters had a rather
warm timo of It for the flint
week of the aeason, although it
was due to the weather rtithrr
than anything o!he. At the
Boyd an unusually nnood melo
drama, presented hy a lemurkahly strong
company, received such snunty pjtronage
as must have reconciled the management
to the two d:irk weeks that will succeed.
It is hoped that by the time tlie house is
opened aaln tlie public will be In the
humor to take Its pleasure at the theater.
At tlie Orpheuni the week was a good one
from the box office standpoint. The Krug
presented three attractions, and did It 3
usual boliiess. At the Burwood the new
to'k company was presented and cordially
welcomed. Thin orpanizatlon shows many
elements of strength and ought to become
very popular. Miss Hlllott, who has lost
non of her former popularity, shows her-
I self to be an even more capable actress
than was believed by her friends and
promises to give many a delightful per
formance during Hie winter season. Mr.
drew will be as well liked as any leading
man Omaha has ever had, and the others
lire all doing well. The outlook at the Bur
wood is very encouraging.

Theatrical Season Opening, I. ate Thla
Year.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5. The present the-
I atilcal season opens unsatisfactorily tor
actors generally. Whatever their summer
trials may be, in September they expert to
find employment, or at least the promise
1 o.f speedy work, and they are happy at
I that prospect. Tl.id year, however, tlie rn
gugenu n;s have not materialized. There
are. in fact, just about as many actors out
I of emplo.wnent now as there were last
March, when the secretary of one of the
largest actors' foclelles said that thete
I never had been so much dlstre-M In the
1 profession as came under his observation
I then.
I "I should say," Secretary Seyholdt of the
I Actors' Society of America told a pun re
I potter, "that about three-quarters of our
j members are still out of employment,
which Is an unprecedented thing at this
J aeason of the year.
I , "When one takes into consideration that
j many of th.-m have been Idle since lan
j December the difficulties of their situation
may be understood. The dullness just at
: this time is greater tiian It was a month or
: six weeks ago.
I 'The early openings are over and we an
making no engagements. Then the other
'companies that are going out later v.il!
'not o; ti until after the election.
j "The present plight of so marty of the
profession Is the result of an election yes:
following sueli a bad theatrical nea,ou as (
tl.e Hst was. Then companies began to d'.s
band as curly as November. That waj
canted in a measure by tile unusual state
I of affairs prevailing In the one-nig.n stands.
i "They are always trying enough to th"
manager and the actors, but their hard
: ships used to be tolerated on the ground
! that they were profitable. They were the
'very first t) siuw the unfavorable coi.dl
I llor.s l ist yiar. Hitherto when bubiaesa
1 wvs poor ir. tlie large cities, a manager
could send his company t the one-night
staads and get his niv.ney back. This sea
I son tve eonditior.s are exactly reversed.
; "Managers are sending out cnmpuniea
trust r.g .hat "the situation will Improve,
j a-.i I u o booking them till in the we,k
stirds, whre the best they can hope to do
ia t . 1 over expenses. They do not wart tj
shot down their eompantea. but they know
that there la no money for them In the one
night stands, where they cvuld formerly
caunt on profit aa certain.
"Ti.e reason? Nobody knows. We have
only the result, and that la posit tva enough
Ui make the effect uu the actors very bad
"Where a manager would last season or
before that have organized three or more
companies ta play a successful ple(e
t 'trough the one-rJght stands, he Is now
sending out one company to keep In the
cities. There have been various explana
tions for this phenomenon In the one-night
stards. The most generally "accepted Is
that they have perhaps been overplayed."
The actors who are awaiting the after
election engagements feel that much de
pends on which candidate Is elected. Man
agers have In several Instances declared
that they will take out this or that com
pany or group of companies In case the re
publican candidate is elected. What they
Intend to do in case W. J. Bryan Is elected
none of them has been known to say.
The average wage-earner rooks with hor
ror upon the possibility f having to live
for a term of months without employment
or its resulting salary, Yet there- a.e
members of the Actors' society who hue
r-H had engagements for mjre than n
year. The question as to how they man
aged to exist was put to Mr. Seyboldt.
"Oh, they live on their savings if they
have any, with their families, or on their
friends, or they find some ort of employ-
inent," explained Mr. Seyboldt, "and It
taxes a man's Ingenuity to the limit to
get along in this way. I've done it in my
time and know what it means.
"It gets to such a pa.-8 sometimes th it
a loan must do whatever offtrs, however
Ignominious It may tippear at the time.
But that Is not true of the actor's calling
alone. You p ast know ef many other
piofessiors In which men are not always
able to find support ami mut tu-n their
energies to something else to help out.
"Actors are likely to turn their efforts
toward being hotel ilftka or to some
o-.'cupatli n their traln'nij ha3 filled them
for. But thst does not always follow.
I heard of one actor who Wft on an Ice
wagon."
The present lack of employment for el
many actors hss not t-nded to diminish
H e number of persona seeking to follow
a stage career, according to this authority.
The supply grows greater every year.
The rchools of acting now located in every
large city f the country ontlnuea to turn
crart'jaws cut In large numhTS. The

"If the aspirants for P slth ns on the
s'age could only t. d"t":ied bv b"arln

Mr. S-yholdt. ".h. n It mirth' Hccimprs i

to luar tha". fie profession la a'ready
ovcrcrott dec.
"Tlfcv feel that it Is overcrowded only
with Incompetents and that they will
never la k for work. They are sure that
talent Midi as thehs Is going to prove
xcf ntluiiul.
"The rcFult is that they are half tlie
time with ut employment, and after a cer
tain numlur of years they drift into other
work. For a while they may hy consent
ing to lak" smaller salnr'ra d"prive better
actarn of employment. Bat even that does
not continue long.
"The rc illy c. nipetrnt uctor even fn audi
times u9 these is near:y always able to
make a g o.l .living. The Incompetents
who lUii'ed l"to the pr-tfess! 1n because
they had to bo actors and felt that the di
vine spark would not allow them to do
anything else are the onea that suffer.
The poor fellows usually have to pay the
penalty of their amh'.tlona, a) pjaaibly it
Is best not to be too hard on them.
"If all these harUbiili't are dlficult for a
man to struggle through, think what they
must be for a woman. Yet there are as
many asplranst of that aex and they cannot
be prevented from entering a profession
that haa already bo many unemployed mem
bers." The Professional Woman'! league has
during the last year done much to relieve
of the hous-j' In the daytime. I first
heard my cwn lines spoken by an actor on
the stage. It was almost aa if aomethlng
of myself had, In a dream, by u kind of
hypnotic transfer, passed Into the mouth of
somebody else.
"By the time of the first public per
formance this elusive sensation had natur-
the sufferings of the poor women In the J ally passel away, but then came another
profession, supplying them with means of emotion equally new to me, and yet more
livelihood ana rinding employment for them thrilling, the emotion created by tears,
when there were no engagements. ,h Uut!hlr , , ,nH h,.ee

'to see what is going to
happen after the elections. The prosperity
of the people is immediately felt In the
theater. When the times Improve, as we
hope they will after election, there will be
plenty of work for the actors again.
"The cinematograph shows are not In my
opinion going to have any permanent ef
fect on the theater. They are of course a
serious rival to the chenper priced houses
rjow. and the number of actirs who find
employment in posing for the tableaux and
plays Is not sufficient to compensate for
the number thrown out of employment
through, the use of moving plcturss In the
theater. But we In the profession believe
that the craze for these things Is golr.g t 1
pass over, and then there will be actors
requlsed in tlie theaters now devoted to
them.
"Only the fact that they are so cheap
has kept them alive so long. They will
disappear when the good times bring pros
perity once more to the actors."
INOTIIEn RUIM'AIO ATEI) CHRIST
American Reception of "The Servant
In the llopae. '
LONDON; St pi. 5. (Special.) When Kami
Kennedy tried the daring experiment of In
troducing the character of Christ on the
stage In New York in his play, "The Serv
ant In the House," critics were fiankly
dubious of Its favorable reception by the
public. The English dramatist's courage
waa Justified by the reception of the play
not only In New York, but subsequently
throughout the t'nlted Stales on tour, and
this circumstance reems to have encouraged
Jerome K. Jerome, the English humorist,
to enter the lists with a dramatization of
Irs story. "The Passing of the Third Floor
Bark," In which the central figure Is a
reincarnation cf the Savior. Tills fact Is
not brought forward by any direct mea:.s.
but by numerous little touches. The char
acter will not be known by any name, but
in the ihice rails In which the play Is li-vidfd-a
prologue, a play and an epilogue
he will ba known respectively us "a passer
by," "the Third Floor Back" and "a
Ft lend." Jerome hopes, and Indeed is very
confident, lhat the English audience at the
St. James thoator. where Forbes Robertson
Slid (l-rtrud. Elliot are (o produce the play
on Tuesday next, will recognize that he
has liandhd the subject In a spirit of rev
erence and sincerity and that they will ac-
coid his t.'fc it the same sort of respectful
hearing that was secured for Kennedy's
p'uy in the I'lilled States.
Almost colmldent v.itii the production of
his and Louis Parker's dramatized version
of "The Manxman, " which will be ptoduecd
at the Lyceum theater on Saturday evening,
Hall Caine appears !n print with recollec
tions of the production of his first play, it
was In ivs .hat, in conjuni lion with Wilson
Barrett, the novelist dramat'zed his n v I.
"The Deemster " and lie tells, with every
evident e of heen delight In recoiled Ion, ot
trttrina Into a contract with Barrett for
royalties of I guines (tin a performance
until their total reached i.Soo (54. 00, win n
they were to cease altogether. In wrl.ing
of his experience In connection with th' re
heairals and Die first night of hU play, the
author says:
"Thtre were the rehearsals, and. thoug'.i,
In n.y Ignorance of atage management. I
took little or no part In them. I remem
ber, as a unique exrerlence, the fust
mynient when. stumbling through the
pall of JarWnces which lies ov.r tne Trout
first play, nnd perhaps he may be par
doned If, after the lapse of years, he puts
the experience out of proportion.
"I think It was a notable first night In
som respects. The audience wns great?
for in all the ycara since I have never
seen so many really distinguished peopl"
In one place. The acting was great, too,
and tlie reception was generous and almost
tumultuous. I remember 'as something
seen In n. sort of delirious trance, through
a mist of blinding tears, that at the fall of
the rurtaln the whole audience was 011 Its
I feci, and lhat, when Barrett led me in
frrnt of the curtain there waa a roar that
dazed nnd stunned me." ,
In the I'nited States the constant en
t'eavor of the actor and the actress Is to
kiep.tlulr pr.vate family and home affairs
from the public. In England the very op
posite cxprersis the state of affalis. Here
the most popular of the postcards aie
those depicting the several stars of the
footlights wllh their wives or husbands, as
the case may be, and Invariably With their
forced to make a hurried departure from
the border country owing to the fatal re
sult of a shot he had fired, although he
maintained that it was an accident. "Tho
Idler,' Cross, waa a witness to the affair.
I'pon the acene comes a brother of the
dead man. He recognizes' "Gentleman
Jack" In Sir John and threatens to hand
him over to the American authorities. Lady
Harding (Miss Elllottl sees by her hus
band's troubled appoarnr.ee that some
thing Is wrong and so demands explana
tion. She la Informed by Cross and Is also
told how she can save her husband from
being taken back to America to face con
viction. An unusually strong scene occurs
here between Cross nnd Lady Harding.
The comedy Interwoven In the play Is
bright and snappy and the gowns to he
worn are handsome. Miss Kllintt as Lady
ilarcMng will have a part that Is replete
with emotional possibilities and Mr. fjrew
has scored heavily with eastern stick com
panies In Henry Miller's part, that of
Mark Cross, the idler.
The first performance of "The Idler" will
be given this afternoon. There will be
matlners Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
