Gossip About Plays and Players
fcl"
ARNIVAti week finds the Omaha
theaters ready for the carnival
crowds. Nothing; but tha mer
riest of comedy will be offpred,
save for the first two nights,
tvhen the bill at the Krug will
approach the serious. At the Boyd one of
the best of American conceits along the lino
of comedy will be presented by a company
that ought to fairly make a snap. The Ilur
wood has for Its bill a farce comedy that
has stood the test of a gooA many years,
and at the Krug the Inst five days of the
week will ba turned over to musical com
edy. At the Orpheum the vaudevlllo bill
will have a deep comedy ting, and thus
the spirit of the occasion will be re
flected at the theaters, and the merry
makers will find nothing there not In keep
ing with their mood. This Is correct from
a managerial point of view, and probably
also from the point of art. It Is recalled
that a couple of seasons ago a manuger
thought maybe art might be called op
during the carnival time at Omaha, and
ao he sent hither a star whose a huso
name is writ high amnog classical actors,
and he regaled the few who attended his
performance with extra Illustrated pre
sentations of some of the greatest plays in
the realm of the stage. But as a financial
success K was a glorious failure. The
public would have none of the serious at
that time, and the star, perhaps, still suf
fering from his disappointment, has reso-
! lutely set his fiu-e against Omaha since
J and threatens to do so forever. But he
' only paid the penalty of offering the public
j Shakespeare when It wanted Georg?
Cohan. How do we know? Well, the next
season a Cohan company In a Cohan play
at the same theater did a business that

Is the season for coined y, and the Omaha
manager knows It.
sands of dollars. Unfortunate Investments
sent him back Into the shpw business, a
poor mun, but with the name old play that
delighted so many thousands before. He Is
again piloting "My Sweetheart" through
the country, and his old friends are glad
to see that his tour Is attended by some
thing like success. And still another old
timer will burst upon our gase some time
during the winter, for Minnie Palmer has
returned to America from England and Is
breaking Into the vaudeville game. It is
not known how soon she will reach Omaha,
but It Is pretty certain she will be out this
way If she can make her act stick.
SALOME OF TUB MIDDI.K AiiV.H
Like Her of the Twentieth Cenlorj
Rhe Danced.
Once upon a time there was another
Salome. Not like the paSHlve Instrument of
Bible story, much less like the perverted
Jade of modern Invention, but a real once
upon a time Salome; haunting, wistful
naively grotesque, was the Salome of thu
middle ages, half ghost, half goddess, half
Christian, half pagan, to be pitk;d, feared
and conciliated. This Salome Hans Chris
tian Andersen might have made kin t the
Marsh King's daughter or Barrie, might
have made her a grown up sister of Feter
Pan.
The daughter of Herodlas made as deep
an impression on the Imagination of the
early middle ages us she has on that of
the twentieth century, but with this differ
ence, that now fancy is burdened with
weary knowledge of human degeneracy,
while then it soared wild and credulous
through the spirit world. In those old days
man had not been long separated and was
not completely weaned from his heathen
gods. The church had only succeeded In
tearing them from their high estate and
transforming Uiem from adored beings
Into malign creatureB. Tho church either
became or was frjni the beginning in.lul-
ence In the city of two links that bind the gent, and It prudently ullowej wiiat tt

that he will be sr-ared to delight us for j and In the popular mythology there waa a
many years to come. But his coming turns I gtrange mixture of Greek, Teutonic and
the mind back for many a day, to times Chrlstiun personages. There was even a

blow upon her with such power that she
was whirled Into space, there to hang,
flit and dance round anil round forever,
the bride of the whirlwind, never to touch
earth or t j soar bej-ond earthly trouble.
Herodlas In her airy wanderings had
distinguished company. There was Pinna,
the wild huntress, and the Oermnn Hnlda,
both like herself doomed to ride the storm,
and together with Hcrndina the leaders of
the "furious host." In their train swept
thinpa to make men cover their heads in
mortal .terror. There were suicides display
ing their wounds, creatures riding two-
legged horses, men tied on wheels, others
running without heads or carrying their
legs across their shoulder. There were
specters of Individuality, such as tho gray
horse bearing a mun booted and spurred,
In a long clonk, with a bugle over his
shoulder, but no head, or the hunter with
face set In his neck, who, followed by dogs
and women, rode a headless black horse
and yelled "hoho! hoho!"
There were restless ghosts with a hls
,tory, like the lndy of rank with twenty
four daughter who had so passionately
loved the chase thnt they had so often
paid "could they but always hunt they
cared not to win heaven." that one day
the daughters were nil transformed Into
hiiunds and the mother doomed to hunt
with them forevermore. There was thp
damsel who loved the chn so selfishly I
that in her wild tiding she played havoc
with the peasants' crops and was con
demned to ride the slorm to all eternity.
There were witches In the forms of cits
and geese, there were polilins and wlll-o'-the-wlsps,
but most blond curdling f nil
were the piteous walling sou's of Infants
who had died unbiptls.'d.
From this grim eomrmy. from this
weird revelry, ft on hrr frantic spouse, the
whirlwind, poor Herodlas had a brief
respite. Krom mldnipht til cockcrow she
might fit In an onk or a hazel tre and

One other consolation was hers, the hom

when he was young and as sprightly as
any of the boys who are now slowly mak
ing their way to the head of the procession,
and a little more than emphasises tha fact
that time la fleeting. Mr. O'Neill Is still
a most capable romantic sctor, and as
painstaking aa to detail as he was once
dashing and debonnair. H haa lost some
of the agility of hla youth, but the old
fire still burn fiercely, and at times he
flashra cut with the fresh vigor that
marked him as one of the greatest In a
time when to be grest among America's
romantic actors was really to be great.
James O'NeHI, like Joseph Jefferson, has
made for hlmaelf a place In the annals of
the American stage that la all his own.
The other old-timer waa John R. Rogers,
whoso claim to fame lies In the furore he
created almost a generation ago by his
unique methods of advertising a star. At
a time when the outre was looaea upon
by the enterprising showman as absolutely
necessary, and wits were constantly racked
for aome new and striking way of pre
senting an attraction, Rogers placed him
self well In front of his kind. In city after
city, as he progressed across the country,
sppeared on the bill boards: "Walt "for me;
1 am coming. M. P. M. 8." It wasn't long
till this came to be understood that Minnie
Palmer In "My Sweetheart" was the ob
ject of this unusual method of advertising.
It wouldn't get a second glance, nowadays,
but It did then, and a stream of gold
poured steadily Into Rogers' pockets. From
the United States he went to England,
where he had even greater success, and at
one time was worth several hundred thou-
cult of Isis still lingering In the mldille
age. The devil was aa yet a person of no
Importance. Ills peculiar function was
exercised by the deposed gods who, hurt
and indignant, lost their sociable chatact-r
und became dark and dreadful powers.
As men no longer honored them by their
ministry these fallen deiths became evil
spirits wandering and hovering In the all.
Certain ones among them were leadera of j
the "furioe hosL" that terrible lompany of
those, who, being dead, had not become
partakers, or. not completely, of blessedness
and peace, and lingered between earth and
heaven.
They swept through nlr and fjrest with
horrible din in whole companies witches,
suicides, the unhaptlz. d, the unshrlven,

was produced at the Atdwyeh theater last

Paul Arthur, the "Jimsie Smith." who has

goers here have forgotten his American
origin. He gave an admirable Interpreta
