The Burwood company wan away on a visit to some of tho outlying town, and the theater was Riven over to a picture show that d!r not excite any especial Wonder. Thus the week was about as dreary one could wish. I.ut better things are coming. This week ouplit to be of unusual Interest, first of all. Mme.

Naiimova Is said to be the leading nctrcMi of the world todiiy; ninybe she Is, but it la certain she d.,es some things as no other actress docs, and the storm as to wUcther slie Is an actress or. a fad has raed qulto vigorously for many monihs. She played two masons In New York, and the people cf that village are sharply di vided, while her engagement at Chicago luring the present fall left much the samo dispute. Hut, actress or fad, Naslmova has made for herself a place In the world of the theater, and her fir at appearance In Omaha Is sure to be a field night. Sho will play on Thursday evening "A Doll's House," on Friday evening "Jledda Gab ler," at a matinee on Saturday again "A Dolls House" and on Saturday night' "Comptesse Coquette." Tho B:rwnod company will return from Its tour and will reopen the theater this afttrn6on with a production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome." Great preparations have been made for this and unusual efforts are expected from each of the players In the cast. The company played "The Devil" on the road and was rewarded by tremend ous business at each town. At St. Joseph, where the company appeared at the Audi torium, more than li.fXiO people were present at the opening performance. The press of the city praises the company quite as lib erally as have the Omaha papers. One of ;he pleasant features of tho first per formance at St. Joseph was the reception accorded William Grew, who . was once leading man In a stock company down there. When he made his first appearance on Thursday evening he was given such a welcome as made him understand thut St. Jno folks had not forgotten him. The crltisc also gave him most complimentary notices on his work. All of which merely emphasizes what The Bee has said several times about the Importance of the present stock company at the Burwood from an acting standpoint. movement ore.

Beethoven and Brahms. In "The Hooche Cooche Dance," Powell has been bold enough to employ the familiar and rather disreput able melody usually connected with thia peculiar form of entertainment; but he develops It on thorough muslclanly lines Into something 'charming and worthy of thoughtful attention.. Familiar, homoly melodies appear In nitno of the other movements, too, but treated with dignity as well as a sense of humor. The com position makes no pretence of being pro found, but it Is never cheap, and It la un commonly fresh and Interesting. And It is more genuinely American than anything Dvorak waa able to hit upon In his search for American music. Perhaps this young southern pianist and composer has had an Idea that will be looked upon aa memor able some day. The audience appeared to be hugely pleased with the new work and most of the London critics took kindly to It, too. returned to IHtSS M ARIE (IKIIIIVF! MAY RKTl R Fay Davis has returned to Ixmdon from your side of the Atlantic and has been Im mediately snapped up by Lewis Waller for hla coming production of "Henry V." She Is to play the part of Chorus and a special feature Is to be made of the character by the James K. Hackett of England. Miss Davis will deliver her lines, accompanied by music, before the opening of each act and in front of the curtain. At some later time Fay Davis may be seen In London In "Iris," which she believes has excellent chances of success If revived. She and her husband, Gerald Lawrence, who have num bered among the long list of English actresses and actors, who have managerial aspirations and should the opportune moment come along will embark upon a seat-on of Shakespeare at one of the west end theaters. The Industrious Somoraet Maugham author of "Jack Straw" and "Lady Fred' erlck," has Just delivered to Charles Froh- man, who, lucky man, has secured a corner on his output as a playwright, a new three-act light comedy. It Is called "Peno- lope" and has been written especially for Marie Tempent, who is now appearing In "Mrs. Dot," also written by Maugham and which you are yet to see. I have an Idea that Charles Frohman, who controls the American rights ot "Mrs. Dot" thinks Marie Tempest has Just about made the character her own, and that the play will be saved for her use when, a year hence. If nothing Interferes, she will try her luck In tho I'nlted States again. Incidentally she has Just renewed the terms of a five year contract with Frohman which had run out. JOHN AVA CARPENTER. emy camp by Instituting a campaign 01 advertising such as had never been seen In Iomdon since the days of the earlier Sousa Invasion. He engaged Queen"s hall which In local Importance ranks with Car negie hall, New York. Symphony hall, Boston, and the Auditorium In Chicago for ten dates and at once frightened the manager of that dignified abode of the muses by requesting permission to erect a large electric sign at right anglea to lta Imposing facade. As thla was an Idea which no ono had heretofore had the te merllv to harbor, the manager snld he must refer It to his managing Olrector. After a day or two, Mr. Brown asked for hla answer. He was told that as It was something quite unexpected, you know, the matter had been held over for a special meeting of the entire board of dl.ectors. An other few duys elapsed and again Mr- Brown asked for his answer to this un heard-of request. This tin lie got It, and It Is the first and last time that I have ever known Mr. Brown to be at a loss for words In which to express himself. The answer was: 'I'm frightfully sorry, don't you know, but one of our principal stock holders on the board, a rather conserva tive old chap, objects most keenly to the electric sign, you know, because he says he Is afraid It will make the hall too aw fully conspicuous. Bo sorry.' The next Burton Holmes' lecture will be given at the Boyd theater on Wednesday evening, "London" being the subject. 'The Revelation," a drama In four acts by Henry Knott, which will be the attrac tion at Boyd theater Sunday and Monday December 13 and 14, Is the first In a cycle of plays by a newly discovered American dramatist. Two other plays are to follow In succession, each one dealing with another step In a certain great evolution. In the first play, the law of cause and effect; the law of compensation Is treated. A story with tremendous situations and thrilling climaxes has been written and the lesson is put forth In concrete form In the characters of the play. The piece will be presented by the Martin & Emery players, an organization formed for the purpose of producing the cycle of plays by Mr. Knott. These players are headed by Mary Shaw. MIbs Shaw Is ably assisted In the portrayal of this drama, by Wilfred Roger, Walter Horton, Adelaide Fltz-Allen, Gordon Men delssohn, George Fox and others.

"I thought everybody In the Li Ited Elates had forgotten mo long befo.e this," declared Marje George when 1 tntc:cl her dressing room at the Dru:y Lu:u tieaUr a couplo of nights ago. "Do you U.li.lc they have?'' she added appie hensivc'.y, tiitreby demonstrating that she was net sj sure of It as her first remark would lead one tj believe. I assured her that many playgoers on your side of the Atlnnti- still had a warm spot In their hearts fir her, and thereby cleared tho way for the real object of my visit to learn some p-irtlculars of her coming return to tier native land. "Yt s, I am going back to good old Amer ica," she said. "How soon? Well, that Is ha:d to say. I came very near going this year, but the musical comedy In which It was Intended to present mu In New York did not look strong enough for me, and I was uf:aid. At the present time, although I have not yet signed any papers and have net ytt seen the revised r.iusical comedy, I ttcllcvo everything will be all rlKht and that I will leave for tho United Statos next spring, after tho pantomime season f t the Drury Lane draws to a closo. I will probably go over under the management of Joseph Brooks In a play called 'Vic toria,' of which Victor Herbert Is the com ron.T and George llcbart Is the author. Thut looks like a pretty good combination, dors it not? "Do you know, I am awfully nervous abiut this return to muy own country. I do not v. uni. to go unless 1 can go in the strongest kind of a play, In a part that will give me tho oppo.tunlty of a lifetime. I was very much dsnppointod In my part In "tl e Stroller,' which, as you know, was tho last thing I uppeared In In the United States. I really hud the wrong part and I i!o uot wuut to make the same mistake this time. In KiiKlanl, of course, I now have a fixed place. I made a big hit In my first appearance and the pooplo have tiken me to their hearts ever since. Both In side and outside the theater I have been trt-a'ed with the greatest kindness and nat urally It Is hard for me to tear myself from a safe harbor to cull unknown theul rli al waters. But I am ruing to do it because I am still an American through and through and urn anxious to pleasu my own people." Marie George Is really the pet of Old Drui u!id It Is her own fault If she Is not i oil'.. 1 l"oked about the big dressing room in which we were sitting and re marked on Its luxurious fittings, the eay chains, and tho big open fire that robbed the chill from the November fog that pen etrutt-il even back stago. "You won't get a dressing room like this In the United States," I said. "I know I won't." Miss George answered with a sigh, "but then, you know, we have almost unlimited room here. The cast of "The Marriages of Mayfair," which we are now playing, does not number more than thirty people from principals to supers, while In pantomime time more than a thou rand are engaged back of the stage. But I don't cure how cheerless my dressing room In the United States Is if I can be iure of a warm welcome from the people on the other side of the footlights." I dlbrovered among other things that Marie George's horison waa not bounded hy musical comedy. I had, before my Interview with her a vague Idea that her part In "The Marriages of Muyfair" that of the vlllainess had been aesumed by her Bomewhut as a "filler" to occupy her time until, the pantomime season, rolled urouud. 1 leurnod that I was a long wuy from the mark. "Do you know," she said toward the end of our talk, "that my present part Is a big step toward the realization of my ambi tion? I really want to get out of musical comedy despite the fact that I have been ao successful In it. It would be one of the tinoniest momenta of my life If I could w rk under a mauler like BeHsco. I wonder If I will ever get the chance." John Towell tried a new American sultt, of his own composing, on an KnglUh. u dience for the first time at his piano re cital till week, und tho occasion proved to have considerable significance, for it Is doubtful if such characteristically Ameri can musio has ever been provided before In a serious composition for the piano. The uiM Is entitled, "At the Fair," and the At the Omaha Theaters. Pantomime Is one of the chief tricks In the box of the Latin born player. American and English actors may acquire It, but it is Intuitive In the French, the German or the Italian. The Russian actor, being of the combined spirit of all of these, has it to perfection. This has been noted wher ever Madame Nazlmova has appeared. She Is perfect In her pantomime, some times she plays scenes of several minutes' dura tion without speaking a word. She knows the value of motion to do more than the spoken word. To see her In the characters of Hedda or Nina In two of her playa la to sec pantomime In perfection, .It is said. Those who watch her cannot fall to be In terested In the motions of the delicate ever- moving fingers, the swaying body, the raised or lowered eyelid. The Russian player knows the value of such work and makes use of It. Even In private life the Interviewer has been struck with the man ner In which she employs her hands they are never still, sometimes clasping or un clasping, sometimes extended to point a story, often restlessly moving about the arm of her chair. Each gesture she uses means something. Madame Nazlmova, yet under 30 years of age, has crowded Into her stage experience years of study and work. At the beginning of her career she was a violinist and played first flddlo In the orchestra of her homo conservatory. Later she went to the Con servatory of the Stage at Moscow, and studied for three years before she went on the stago. During this long course she studied pantomime and deslarte, dancing and expression. All her natural aptitude for using her hands and body to express emo tions was developed and aided by these means. After going on the stage she played In many countries and many roles, and In all of them she used her pantomime abil ity. One of tho strangest characteristics of this famous Russian actress Is her ability to apparently change her stature. As Nora, In "A Doll's House," Nazlmova Is the rest less, romping girl and seems almost a child As Hedda, In "Hedda Gabler," Nazlmov Is the tall, swaying woman, apparently without a bone In her body. This character Is one to which she gives almost a serpen tine aspect. Standing, In some of her scenes, with her tall figure draped In the peculiarly unique gowns she has herself designed for this role, the odd effect of the clinging, folding drapery Is both engaging and puzzling at the same time. Sitting In one of the chairs, which seem to lend them selves to her figure, as Indeed they were selected to do, Madame Naslmova Is a suc cession of supple curves. No dress has at traded more attention on the stage than the tight-fitting black gowns she wears aa Hedda, and no pictures draw the eye as quickly as the Hedda group posed by madame to show some ot this Ibsen worn an's peculiarities. In only one of her roles does Madame Nazimova develop this oddity of outline, for as Nora she dresses and acts as a sim ple young girl; as Hilda, In "The Master Builder," she Is the rather rough country bred girl without many deeply feminine traits; as I.ona. In "The Comet," she is the tall and stately actress, and as Nina, In "Comptesse Coquette," she Is again the woman of society, graceful and natural In her poses. It is In "Hedda Gabler" that the serpentine pose Is maintained only. Madame Naslmova will be seen at the Boyd theater on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday evenings of this week, and at a mat inee on Saturday. On Thursday evening she will play Nora In "A Doll's House;" on Friday evening she will play Hedda In 'Hedda Gabler;" at the Saturday matinee 'A Doll's House" will be repeated, and Saturday evening Mme. Nazlmova will be en as Nina In "Comptesse Coquette." Williams and Walker, those real king pins of song and laughter, who open at the Boyd December 17 for three days and a matinee In their latest musical success entitled, "Bandanna Land," write all their own songs, practically and originate all the, "business" of their specialties; and though they are universally copied, Will- lams and Walker are so Inimitably funny In their performance, that In spite of the many clever Imitators, the popularity of these original entertainers continues to grow, for there Is that elusive "something" about their work no one can take from them. "Bandanna Land," Is said to stand out as their greatest triumph, as was proven by their recent four month's "run" In the Majestic, theater. New York City. It is replete with Inspiring music, good, wholesome, clean comedy, gorgeous cos tumes and magnificent scenery. NAZ IMOVA Boyd's Theater . . . Krug Theater .... Burwood Theater Orpheum Theater.

It was under Stage Director Bacon's direction that this play was produced In San Francisco that being the initial Amer ican production. Other "Salomes" had, however, been given tho public Julia Mar lowe appearing as Salome In "The Holy City," but it Is but a mere bit. Mr. Bacon and the Colonial Stock company In San Francisco played this dramatic poem for four consecutive weeks, and it was a furore even in San Francisco. A dramatic version of "Salome" waa produced last season at the Bush Temple theater In Chicago, in which Mr. Ingraham, now of the Burwood Stock company, played the Tetrarch, the same part he will present in the coming weeks production. Omaha Is to see the original Wilde play; weird and terrible, yet fasclnatlno- In it. beauty. The costumes are the richest and most costly ever used in the presentation of a play by a stock company In Omaha. Miss Elliott, who la to play Salome, will wear a costume of exceeding beauty, ahe having sent to New York for It. especially for this production. The situations In Salome" are Intensely dramatic, and the language Is not surpassed in beauty by that of any play ever written. "Salome" has been discussed aa to lta rood nnlnt. nd its bad points all over the country for many years. Some, who are prejudiced. would condemn it without even a reading or a hearing, simply because someone else has taken the same stand; others, who took the pains to dissect this great work of the erratic Oscar Wilde, found in it much to commend, and although at one time tho book "Salome" was barred from the shelves in various public libraries. It Is now ac cepted as a standard work, and where the supply of books is limited. It is Indeed hard to secure a copy, as it la being very widely read. The much-talked-of "Salome dance," known as the "Dance of the Seven Veils," will be executed by Miss Elliott In a most pleasing and artistic manner. There will be matinees today, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Stetson's mammothdouble production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will appear at the Krug theater Vor four days, starting with matinee today. Notwithstanding the fre quent production of this play, It Is never produced by other companies aa It Is In Stetson's. Manager Klbblo has brought to gether all the requisites that go to make up a really great production. For three days. starting Thursday, "Faust" will be the attraction at the Krug theater. "Faust" Is too well known here to go into details, suffice to say that It contains a large measure of moral phil osophy, both In the actual words of the players and In the grand ensemble of its weird lights and shadows, Its comedies and tragedies. It has been aptly characterised when it is said that it is "better than a sermon." Miss Violet Black will present "In the Subway" as the headllner in the new bill of advanced vaudeville beginning fat the Orpheum this afternoon. Miss Black Is accompanied by four companion entertain ers. A large stage setting Is carried for the comedy. Ben Welch and "General" Edward I.av'ne are vaudeville favorites. Mr. Welch has strengthened his Hebrew and Italian characterisations. Mr. 1-avlrr? has his Juggling act. with a mimic battle field for a setting. He is one of the funny nun of vaudeville. He adds original eccen tricities to clever juggling. Fred and Adele AunterllU are Omaha young people, who make their local professional debut as "Thj Astalrrs." These young entertainers re ceived their training here. Three years ago lh y went east and received successful engaje.-ncr.ts.
