THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE:. NOVEMBER 129, 1908. Gossip About Plays, Players and Playhouses V"L WILBTArH has not only performed a Inbor of I ve, out hi alto s.rhlevrl a ree.1 service in hi' blorrithr of Kkharfl comments on her latent sketch, "In the Subway." which wan first given In New Tork City and well received In 'V.tham.

The. . sketch haa been describrd ia "a scream." Berliner's. In a lumiisom quarto volume Mr. WH.itarh tells the story of the life and struggles of the great artor as no one elm could. For many seasons and outliving manager after manager, Mr. "WHstach waa connected with Mr. Mana fleld a his. advance agent,, and In this capacity came Into sn Intimate acquaint ance with him such as not many ever had. It might be said enojyed, for no one who wss well scqualnted with Mr. Mansfield failed to enjoy that acquaintance, and those who came on to terms of friendship with him were favored Indeed by the rarest of those delightful qualities of courtly charm and cohslderate care that made Mansfield a host of the highest order and a friend worth having. In writing his book Mr. Vllatach has endeavored to "nothing ex tenuate, nor set down aught In malice," with the result thai he tells simply and convincingly the story of the man who rose from obscurity to the highest point of fame on the American stage. He sets before the world Mansfield as he knew him, and supports his picture with ample proofs of the character of the dead actor. Mansfield's Interest in his fellow man, Ills devotion to his art, his consideration for his company, his love for his wife, and family, and under all, tho simplicity of his character when discovered beneath the ve neer of varlod interests that hid it from most folks, are all made plain. Richard Mansfield suffered more, per haps, than any other modern actor from misrepresentation. How much of this was due to malice and how muah to Ignorance will never be known. It was misrepresen tation, though, pure and simple. An ex ample of It is recited In the book. Wlum Mr. Mansfield waa presenting "Don Car los" his route took hliu from Omaha to Denver, and from thnce to San Fran cisco. From Denver came the word that the star had quarreled furiously with the members of his company and had at lust discharged all In a, burst of Insane rage. The sensational story waa given consider able publicity, and preceded the company to San Francisco, as the telcgraphlo news outran the train. When the company ar rived In Ban Francisco it was found to be the same as had played in Chicago, In Omaha, and in Denver. Instead of being i a war on foot, or at least an armed truce, all was found to be harmonious, and each member was working with the star to make the treat undertaking . a success. This seemed to disappoint the chroniclers of the California metropolis, and. Instead of denying the sensational yarns that oama from Denver, the papers went after Mans field on tha ground of his art and abused him roundly. But the public would not have it so and the patronage was such as soon convinced the writers of their mis take and the matter was dropped. This Is but a single instance of many that might be recorded. It embittered Mansfield against newspapers as a class, and yet he formed soma very warm friendships among the writers for the press on topics con nected with tha theater. ... Mansfield's faith in himself was sublime. He knew nothing of impossibilities; he knew nothing of limitations; ha only knew that a thing was to be done, and he set himself about doing it, It la not the in tention to her tell of how he worked to achieve hi effects. It la sufficient to aay each thing he did waa the result of careful study and deliberate purpose. If he departed from traditions, it waa b cause he had convinced himself that tra ditions were wrong. He sought to get as near to the living truth as his art would permit hlro, and his splendid mind nnd wonderful will enabled blra to do things a lesser man could not have hoped to achieve. H waa accused of being egoUa, tic. Maybe ho was, but it waa the egotism ' success. JCven when ha was at his lowest ebb In finance hla faith In himself did not waver, and he kept his courage steady. Jf be told hla friends or asso ciates ha wa going to succeed, it was not merely tha expression of a hope, but of a conviction. And if he seemed to be exact ing in hla dealings with the members of his companies, it waa because he wanted that each ahould give just what he waa giving the very best If a player could not achieve with certainty tha exact shade of expression deal red, such an one had to glvw wny. It was art In the best sense that guided him in hla efforts, and to which he gave his life. For he knew week be fore he died that he was doomed If he did not give over hla work, and yet be kept It.

He never missed a visit while in the city, and alwaya allowed that side of his nature he so carefully hid from the public. Occasionally ho talked of hla art, but mostly of other topics. politics, busi ness, Industry, tha events of the day. all served him, and hla conversation waa not tne talk of an opinionated man, but the genial comment of an observer, and student, who held a deep and kindly Interest In the affairs of his fellow man. It was his habit t stroll about the city, and to poke Into Its quaint comers. Omaha has not many such places, and yet Mansfield found out some that were not generally known. On these strolls he waa often accompanied by a reporter, who found that J'Roaring . Dick." as Wtlstach would fondly "call him, was as good a pal aa one ever went walk ing with. Dinner at hi car, or a luch In ona of the restaurants gave him other op portunities to talk to his Intimates, and now and then one waa received into his dressing room. It .was on one of these occasions he told the sponsor for tills department of The Bee that his active days were almost at on end, and that he doubted If he would have strength to complete the task he had set for himself. His apprehensions proved too well founded, and death found him with work still t undone. But he did do one thing he undertook. He gave to the public the very best he had. and without stint. He took his art to a public that rould not come to him, -and the people of many a "one night stand" have cause to rejiilce that there was an actor ao great that he could not be little, and who waa ao genuinely egotistical that he strove to show everybody Just how great ha really waa Thus they got to see the very best of modern dramatic effort. Mansfield still has his detractors. They are still debating his worth as an actor, and recount with gusto the unfounded or exaggerated slorloa of his exhibitions of tempt: These men will probably kotp at It Indefinitely, but of the dead man It may l sald- Uttie he ll reck ie they'll let him sleep on Ja the gravv where the lirlluit has laid him.

Slauk i rvoAvlug 4aaaM riars Risilif la tCngtlsa Metropolis Are Dolnsr a "Hesse Fall.' LONDON, Not. Special Correspond ence.) At the beginning of the present theatrical year London managers were viewing with apprehension the opening of thn Franco-British exhibition and the threatened Inroads into their business. Now that It la all over the earns managers are wearing smiles that won't disappear. The cause of this strange change of front Is that the year now drawing to a close has, In the words of one of them, been r'One of the best years I have ever known from a box office viewpoint" And after I all, what other viewpoint worries a man- j ager of today? With a very few excep tions all the London houses are doing a "house-full" business and. In many cases, the advance bookings extend far into Feb ruary. As an evidence of this general pros perity, take tne case of the Drury Lane pantomime, the flrat performance of which does not take place until the day after Christmas. Tickets, however, have been on salo for about a week and already more than 30,000 worth of them have been disposed of. Advance bookings for "Peter Pan," which Is to be the special Christmas attraction at the Duke of York'B, amount to I15.0U0. while $2,600 worth of seats were sold In advance for the two recent per formances of "The Only Way," which Martin Harvey gave nt the Adelphl. So exceptionally good Is the business that almost anything goes, especially in the way of musical comedy, "The Belle of Brittany," which is now playing to big houses at the Queen's, was universally condemned on the first night as a ootless, aimless, meritless sort of thing, yet the various libraries In London who deal in theater tickets immediately Invested some thing like $:20,000 In seats and have had no reason to regret their expenditure to date. This strange success, however, may In part be accounted for by the extraor dinary good cast which was provided by tha producer, Robert Courtnelde, Henry Bavage's partner In London. All the evi dence points towards the conclusion that he knew he had a weak piece and de liberately determined to save the day with a strong cast. In no other way can one explain hla enormous weekly payroll, for Mr. Courtneldge Is a canny 'Scotsman and never throws his money away. In the first place, the cast Includes George Graves, the Baron Pupoff, of "The Merry 'Widow," and probably the finest musical comedy comedian in England. Next, ia Ruth Vincent, the old Savoyard, who really has a voice and knows how to use it, and who ia undoubtedly the high est paid singer in' musical comedy here. Number three is Walter Pasemore, another old Savoyardand a favorite of the Drury Lane pantomime. As he has been com pelled to give up all idea of appearing in this year's pantomime at the Drury Lane, It la reasonable to assume that he waa not procured by Courtneldge without a liberal expenditure of money. Next is Laurence Rea, who has been appearing at Covent Garden, and one might extend the Hat of star and near-stars consider ably so as to Include several well known on this side, but wlfh whom you would te unfamiliar. There be those who see In the weakness of "The Belle of Brittany" as a play an indictment of the growing practice of ask ing a lung list of playwrights, lyric writers, composers and sgng writer to collaborate In a production. "The Belie of Brittany" boasts no less than five. ' The book was rltten by P. J. Barrow and Leedham Bantock, the lyric by Percy Green bank, while Howard Talbot and Miss Marie Home confess to having composed the music. From the latest information which has reached me poor "Salome" appears to have had a very rough time of It In Russia. One would suppose that Russia with . It snows and IU Ice would have been the last place In the world for "Salome and her pocket edition costume. But she bobbed up In St. Petersburg and had a tussle, hot with the head of John the Baptist, but with the holy synod. That body on first considera tion forbade the perfi rminct on tha gr. unds that It was blasphemous, but upon more mature thought. Involving, I should say, no little mental gymnastics. It relented and gave permission for the production if Sa lome were transformed into an Indian queen, if John the Baptist's head were made the corpse of a king and If Salome' dance were performed by the queen and her dames. Some alchemist of the drama duly accomplished these' miracles and the first puDiic pcrrormance was wail under way when the holy synod changed its mind aguln. The police marched Into the theater, stopped the play and turned, the audience out without, I may add, returning their money. I suppose since Frank Gotch has become an actor h I a legitimate subject for the attention of a dramatic correspondent. At any rate here goes. He openVd at the New Cross Ei ti phe last week and this week Is at Shepherd Bush Empire. lie got a much better reception than I thought possible In view of the opinion on this side of the merits of his match with Hackenschmlilt "Hack" Is more or leas of an English idol and you cannot convince a Britisher that Gotch really licked him fairly and squarely. But they seemed determined to give the Iowa man a fair hearing, and while no wild enthusiasm greeted his appearance here, at the same time he got a good re ceptton. His Idea of appearing In a sketch Instead of in a aerie of wrestling bouts ss Hack and Zbysco have been doing, struck tho English public as a novelty and pleased them accordingly. Gotch Is booked for eighteen wetks and will travel to tha north of England before making his appearance In the heart of London. Carrie De Mar is booked for the Coliseum in tha near future. It Is announced that ss,e will appear In both "Lonesome Floaa" and "Winking Winnie." Clssle Loftus Is still topping the bill at the same house with hcrbnltatlun. The management ia paying hera big price, but aa she la filling every seat in the enormous theater there Is prob ably a feeling of satisfaction on both sides. John Powell, the young American pianist, who has lately returned from a vacation visit to hla home on the fihenendoah, seems to be carrying everything before him In London. He played with the Queen's Hall orchestra at the Promenade concert the other day, and aucceeded In violating all the rules by getting an encore something wholly out of keeping with the strict tradi tions of the Promenade concerts. The audience refused to It i the pro- am pro ceed until Hwnry Wood, the conductor, marched off to the aitlsta room and brought the American musician, willy nllly, back to the piano stool. Powell is giving recitals on Novsmbsi It and December T, with Francis Harford, at the Aeolian hall, and baa aaough othat aogagaiuanta to At the Omaha Theaters. At tha Boyd this evening the charming comedy hy Clyde Fitch, "Girls," will be presented again, and It ought to be seen by a houseful of people. The piece Itself Is frankly a farce, but It contains many'. most delicious hits, and It la done so charm ingly by the girls who are the leader In the fun that It Is enjoyable to all. The realism of the scene In the studio, where the three "man hater" get ready to retire for the night. I about the limit of such proceedings, and yet it I done with a deli cacy that makes It delightful. This 1s characteristic of the play from first to last. Altogether It is worth the while of all to see It. Tonight will close the engagement. "A Knight for a Day" 1 coming to the Boyd theater on December 2, 4 and 6, with a matinee Saturday. Robert B. Smith, whose efforts as a librettist are recognised, is responsible for the book and he had a worthy coadjutor in Raymond Hubbell, a composer who has supplied more than the usual portion of catchy airs, pretty chor uses, etc, somo of which are worthy of grand opera The oontral 'characters in "A Knight for a Day" are all young peraona. The hero himself is an under sized waiter, who, having laid hands on certain legal documents, endeavor to pass as a lawyer. HI comedy partner ia a "servant lady" of . a type that might bo Imagined In a nightmare after searching intelligent bureau. The balance of a long energetic cast of capable: principals arc busy all evening helping out with the fun. What seems to be the real kernel of the entertainment is 1y some regardeM as the famous American beauty chorus. The daisllng display of energy and life el the choruses, especially thi "business" of tho songs, "Life is a 'gee-Saw," "Little Girl In Blue," "Whistle as You Walk Out, and others, all will be remembered and hummed with pleasure.' The electrlo effect used In the finale of both act are sur prisingly ingenious and remarkably beautiful. Madame Natlmova, the Russian star, about whom the maga sines and New York correspondents have written and published so much that she i almost a well known 1n this city aa Berhardt and Due, will play a special engagement of four performance In this city beginning on Thursday, Decem ber 10, at the Boyd theater. There ha been widespread Interest In the coming of Natimova. We have heard ao much of her wonderful talent and remarkablo beauty, her youth and magnetism, that her appearance will b one of the season's most Important dramatlo events. First she appeared In New York as the' member of a band of players exiled from Russia and offering play In obscure theaters in Rus sian. Margaret Anglln and Henry Miller persuaded her to study English and remain. Bhe did this and appeared ' for a trial within six months. Her first performance was an ovation and tha Bijou theater wa secured for here. She has not left New York slnos until tho present. Her per formances hero, win be all in English and she will bo presented by tho Shuberts, sur rounded by her New York company and productions. Her repertoire of Ibsen plays, from which solectlon will be made, includes A Doll's House." "Hedda Q abler" and The Master Builder."'

Although the Burwood Stock company Is to play "The IlsvU" at Plattsmouth, Ne braska City, Beatrice, etc, the coming week, by no means will the Burwood tneater be without a strong magnet with which to bid for public favor. Arrange ment have been perfected with William H. Swanson & Co. of Chicago, the most extensive moving picture concern In the United States, to Install tor the week, starting this afternoon, a most novel enter tainment of two and one-half hours dura tion. The program will be divided Into three parts and will consist of graphic descriptions and beautifully Illustrated both by ; stereoptioon color slide and moving picture of "Talk of Travel In Distant Lands." Theou travelogue will be minutely described by a lecturer who has personally visited the various sections to be described. This particular feature of the entertainment will permit one to take a trip around the world and be back home by bedtime. Another feature of the enter tainment will be the talking pictures, and by this It must not be understood that these talking pictures are to be furnished by any mechanical device, but instead by Swanson & Co.'s own company of actors, who will be brought here from Chicago purposely for this engagement. Condensed versions of such plays as "Rip Van Winkle," East Lynne," etc., will be thrown on the screen by the moving picture ma chine, and as the various characters In thn dramas move about In the pictures, their lines will be spoken by the actors back of the screen.
