Henry Arthur ones' new play, "Holly

In Atn?rrP later en, contains about the
liveliest, most effective quarrel between a
Dukbaad and wife that fan be found on

American manager. Who said: "I don't

Mr. Jones gave tie ten minutes Instead of

But It (a difficult to ay how much of the

Ing on a rather dahgefoua flirtation, and
they, too, resolved to reform. The first
three acta of the play take place In Dolly's
drawing room on New Tears day and by
the time we reach midnight In the third
act all the good resolutions are broken,
the flirtation la "on" fiercely and Dolly
and her husband are having their scrap.
The cynical fourth act Is an almost exact
repetition of the first act, taking p'aoe on
Mew tear' day of the following year,

the same old way, and proving the truth of
the theory of the old professor In the play'
(he Is the husband of the lady of the
flirtation) that people are not free moral
agents, but hetpleea Victims of the chance
arrangement of gray matter In their brains.

Music and Musical Notes
Midway in the week at th Bdyfl Wal
"The Man the Hour," to which a largo
attendance on Its return visit testified to
the appreciation locally of a play to which
a great critic gave the aucclunt but force
ful eulogy, "Here Is a play which meant
something."
lfiarly in th .week William Collier, UH
Wcerled among American comedians as an
J tor fcnd as a man, played "The Patriot,"
with the assistance of Miss Helen Hale
and an excellent supporting company. Mr.
Collier ban gon from here to face the
most ilfflcult on'eal which a player meets
opening In New York. Tonight the cur
tain ot the Grrl; k theater of that city will
ring up cn hli new play for the first time.
It Is to be exjected that there will be
some hostile cs'ltlilsm ot thia comedy.
There are many who demand more body
In a play than "The Patriot" posscsac.
But the vehicle, at least as played by
him, Miss Hale and the others, really Is
meaty enough for a farce comedy, and
"The Patriot" purports to be no more.
Certainly of tho acting ther Will be little
or no fault finding.
Had the comedy no other merit It would
at least be Worthy, as giving Coiller
chance to make smile follow amile, chuck re
com ,on chuckle, and laugh reap after
laugh. Besides and this may be Impor
tant In time to vme 4t serve t mark
th change from musical comedy to drama
of Helen Hale.
Mis Hale has for several years been
exploited by press agents aa a Wellesley
college girl as she is. She has been re
marked by every reviewer who did "Wood
land; or. The Yankee Tourist," as a young
woman whose native refinement made them
discriminate her from a hundred other
soubrettes In musical 'comedy. She might
have continued a auccess In that work as
long as L,ulu Glaser and Fay Templeton
have done.
A more ambitious effort art her part M
pleasant to contemplate, not only because
such a desire is worth while In Itself, but
because, as she has already demonstrated,
ah haa besides the wish, the talent and
temperament to succeed In a richer field.
Bhe ahio has the necessary brains and tho
education, two fairly. Important factor, the
lack ef which have held back, More tat
eated men and wm niv th stage than
anything else which could b named.
On thing Is certain: gh will not lack
for opportunities, tor she hts alno the
heevca-glven faculty of making all who
know lier like her well.
At the Krug that popular old standby,
"McFadden'a Flats," did a lg business at
the opening of th week and was followed
by lyman Howe's motion pictures.; "Sold
Into Slavery," a thrilling melodramp. also
packed thia playhouso later In the week.
The Orpheum preaented a bill which
pleased its patrons and good business re
atilted all week.
E
ABT Bufiday, In this column, th
person who writes It had some
thing to offer for considera
tion In the difference be
tween "energy" ana 1 ''effl
clency." Since that time other
thoughts . on the matter have oc
curred to him. For example, take that
question of studying abroad. There are so
many people Who go abroad and who are
very "energetic" and apparently Very busy
accumulating knowledge and education,
end still they are not becoming "efficient."
We have had many examples of people
who have gone abroad to study, who have
stayed and worked and plodded, and yet
they have not taught the "efficiency"
hsMt. They can. talk about various teach
er and methods. They cart do everything
but thow their efficiency.
The writer heard a recital by some Amer
kun girls at a certain place In Berlin lust
year, n wet simply pathetic. It Wat Worse
than pathellc. It was terrible. Those potir
girls thought that because they were in
Berlin they must be on Hi right track.
The one who writes this could name a
doien Vole teacher lit Omaha who could
have put those girl in the right way and
could have made something ot their voices.
Now, here cornea th Musical Courier of
New York with an editorial, and by tha
way, the editorial In that paper are alwayt
bristling, they are to full ot point. It
"Among the 1,430 American music stu
dent who Went abroad this tall for study,
were I,3K 'second Melbat.' 1,286 'second
Paganlnls,' 1,284 'second Rubinsteins,' 1.2S3
'second Beethoven,' i,2S( econd David
offs.' Most of them traveled tecbhd class
and Will b second class also When they return."
These figure are startling, and It should
be hoted that they Apply only ts tlinst
who have gone abroad "this fall."
And the pity of It is that some Will porno
back "second class," Inefficient, and some
will die of disappointment and grief, and
aome will be broken hearted und Will hot
have the courage to come back and will
try t en it H.
It Would tie very' Interesting to" read an
article on "Tho American student abroad
and what becomea of him or her," written
by the brilliant Mr. Kluinenberg. The
Musical Courier is scored ofttlmes because
it makes people pay If they want recog
nition In It columns, and It I tald that
the Courier will slight and underestimate
their work If they Ho not yield to the
suggestions of the business of flee, it But
one d. e not have to go o 'it side Omaha to
find that condition).
And the Musical Courier does not pre
tend to be In the business tor Its health.
There I ho writer on musical subject
today Whose article fere so full Of Straight
Virile common sense and who haa such a
tremendously forceful way of putting It
before one, a thlt tame Mr. Blumenberg
of tne Musical courier. This la not an
advertisement. The musical critic of The
Bee was formerly connected locally with
that papeis but he Is not at present.

In this column next week.
Unfortunately, but unavoidably, the ah

Notwithstanding the fact that the Men

Us choice of member, and In spite of the
i fact that every one Shares the burden of
the expenses, through a membership fee,
It la gratifying to be able to state that a

It 1 with pleasure, that attention Is
drawn to the program of the piano recital
to be given next Wednesday evening by
Mr. Martin Bush. Here is a young man
who Is becoming "efficient." He I or
ganist ot the First Congregational church
and was re-engaged thia year by that or
ganisation at a handaome Increase In
alary. Mr. Bush waa connected with a
local .business firm until recently when,
upon the advlc of hi best friends and
some of the leading musician, he decided
to give up entirely hi business connection
and devote himself to his profession. Mr.
Bush's program appears below, under
the heading "Musical Notes."
The suggestion haa been made that Bun
day, December 13, being In the very midst
of the National Corn exposition period
(December to II) at Omaha, the leading
choirmaster of Omaha should make up
their programs of harvest or nature music.
This would b very interesting and ap
propriate, and coming so aoon after
Thanksgiving mualo it would not be bard
to do. Sacred musical comp- sltionM
abounding In allusion and references to
corn, grain, th fields, nature, harvest.
etc., are vary numerous, and it would be
a very good idea to act on this' suggestion
and lead the thought 'from nature up to
nature Ood.'' The suggestion la passed
on td th choirmaster with the hope that
they may see fit to adopt It. The choir
master of the First Methodist Episcopal
church will adopt It with the consent of
hla pastor. THOMAS KELLY

to despise. The first and last scenes ars
laid In the girts 'studio, while the second
act shnvs a law cfflce, where two of th
girl are employed. Aa usual In Fitch
plays, there is a surprise scene, and thia
time It Is so novel that the management
refuses to divulge It. The cast I coin.

Musical comedy after a wo k of serlcu
plays will open the week at the Boyd thea
ter. At the Burwood, a play haa been
chosen for the Week which It is believed
will not only keep up tlie record for at
tendance at that playhouse, but possibly
Increase It. It 1 "Heartsease," th drama
tisatlon of tha Charlotte M. Tong ncwl
ty Hnry Miller and Cnarle KUlo, th
on (amoua fur hi playing In "Tb Orei
Divide." and the other a the author of
"The M'irio Masler" and "The Lion and
the Mouxe." Miss Elliott is to play Miss
Neville and Mr. drew will have the lead
ing masculine role, Kriu Templx. It la a
great costume pluy and will be handsomely
staged.
Scotty AVelsh will play Kid Burn, a
tt.e young New Yorker exiled to New
Itochelle In the Cohan musical comedy at
the Boyd. The company Is a most clover
one and the rest of the "Forty-J'lve Min
ute from Broadway" company 1 clever.
George M. Cohan ha written no more pop
tlar offering than thia and It may be re
marked ncne which 1 more deservedly so.
TUeNfay the houe will be dark and
Wednesday will come tho first of the
wtekly Burton Holmes Travelogues, given
by fir. AVrlslil Krumcr, one of the most
novel and most attractive entertainment
of tho sen sun.
Clyde Fitch' latest and best comedy,
"fill is." played by the original company,
Will close the Week.
For Thanksgiving week the Orphnum
offeia an Inviting bill of advanced vaude
ville, with the famous Harvey family of
wire performer and acrobat headline
act. A neat little sketch, male quartet,
conedlan. girl with nimbi feet, pretty
gown and clever songs; monkeys that do
all sort of atunta, klnodrume views, show
ing the Tigers and Cubs playing for world
honor those are some of the good thini
offered for the week.
The liurvcy family represent ' the very
beat in the art of slack and tijilit wire
performing; also difficult acrcbatlc f'.-uts.
For Instance, It has beeen generally sup
posed that only the Arabs could perform
th "butterfly" turn. Arthur liuivey prac
ticed for ten years and lias mastered this
feat, which ho presents during the act. The
work of the Harvey sisters on slack and
tight wire Is what might be termed mar
velous, without making any Idl use of
the word.
The Big City quartet consists of Messrs.
Gu Red, bass; Geoffrey O'llara, second
tenor; Fred O. Hover, first tenor; J?ck
Hamilton, baritone. Each member ot this
tinging organization is a eUolst and ren
ders a solo number during the program.
