THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 30, 1D09.
What is Going: On
MAHA has fairly entered on- the
summer season so far as amuse
ments are concerned. Manawa
has openr-d and Courtlarid
Beach will follow, and these will
care for the folks who look for
boating
nd bathing alone with muslo and
some lighter diversions.
Krug park will
be missed, hot the people who took
their
pleasure among; Its trees and flowers will
find somewhere to go. The Woodward
stock company at the Boyd will continue
to provide well for those who do not care
to Journey to the outskirts of the city to
find a park. This organisation Is In all
respects the best that has ever held forth
In summer time In Omaha. Manager Hu
man has arranged his Atrdome so that,
rain or shine, he can give performances,
and when the weather Is favorable he -lll
provide excellent entertainment In the
open air. Then the picture shows at the
liurwood, the Krug and the Innumerable
other places about the city will pursue
and overtake the fleeing nickel and fugi
tive dime, so that all who da not care to
til around the house U the 'evening will
be sure of a place to go. And the regular
patrons of the theaters may confidently
look forward to the beet year Omaha has
ever known when the theaters open their
doors next fall. With the Shuberts In con
trol of the Ptirwnod. we are sure to get
the best that may be had. It is the not
result of competition. And the new Bran
dels Is romlsed to be- open January 1,
11110, which adds to the pleasure of the
prospect So the summer will soon pass.
PRETTY WOMEN WITH CIRCUS
Haarrnbeck-WaJlare Shows Make
Specialty of Feminine Beast y.
"Who ever saw a handsome woman
within a circus ring, anyway?" has been
common expression of people leaving a
circus tent. In fact, the average circus
"lady artist" generally, when stripped of
her spangles and ring makeup and ap
pealing In unprofessional dress, has been
considered a fright sufficient to scare- bad
children Into being good. This season,
however, If reports be truo, no such re-
' marka will be made when folks depart
from tho big tent of the Hagenbeck-Wallace
shows. lien Wallace has a national
reputation for carrying with his show the
finest horses, and now he has gone a step
farther In matters of attractiveness by In
cluding among his score of women per
formers only those who are endowed with
' attractive countenances, handsome figures
and graceful action. In the past the stage
has monopolized pretty women and rich
costumes, but at present In the circus ring,
especially with the Hagenbeck-Wallaco
shows, the tendency Is to employ only
pretty women and such as have the happy
faculty of appearing richly gowned In
spite of the hot and active work required
twice dally. These women no longer ap
pear In tights, except where the nature of
the work actually requires It, but they are
handsomely dressed In truly elegant ex
amples of the modiste's art, and the dis
play of lingerie equals that seen upon the
stage of the musical comedy of the day or
In the trousseau of one of New York's "400"
on het bridal trip. In fact. It Is probable
that these circus women, of whom the
Ilagenbeck-Wallace shows boasts would
have a pretty good chance In a beauty con
test And why should not the circus woman
equal or excel her' neighbor of the stage
In looks or dress? She is far better paid
than the chorus or "show girl," and her
salary Is frequently ten times that of ihe
average man. Not only does she recolve
a better salary, but the accommodations
In her career have been greatly Improved,
and Instead of riding in boxcars, shp now
enjoys the comforts of home In a cosy
apartment sleeping car of the Pullman pat
tern, while the accommodations In the
dressing tent are far superior to the aver
age green room of the stage. The Hagen-beck-Wallace
shows' trains now contain
seven sleepers, four of which are auottea
to women. As the Several feature acts
are Introduced by the orators of the Hagenbeck-Wallace
shows there Is invariably
heard a mumble of voices throughout the
crowd, all remarking as regards "those
gowns" or "ain't she pretty," or "ain't that
fine." It Is really an innovation for clrous
performers to be thus presented to the pub
lic, but It is a welcome change from the
loud, coarse and sometimes disgusting ex
hibitions of the past The attractiveness
of the costumes and the genuine beauty of
the performers Is only excelled by the
grace and novelty of the acts done, so that
the spectator Is unconsciously forced to
shift his or her admiration to the more Im
portant thing the act Itself.
A panoramic view about the dressing
room would be a revelation to the unini
tiated. The convenience and comfort en
Joyed would be a surprise. The women will
be found doing all sorts of fancy work, or
sewing an unwelcome rip, or perhaps
deftly . arranging an old costume. In al
most every trunk may be found some of
the latest and best books, white the late
magaslnes are much In evidence. A dress
ing tent Is the sitting room of -the clrous
family and the same air of domesticity pre
vails as at thS average fireside. It Is In
the quietness of their section of the big
dressing tent that the petite circus queens
enjoy their social chats and here they
congratulate or sympathise with each other
as the cas may be. One of the secrsts
for the hardiness of their muscular devel
opment Is that these circus women take
cold water baths twice daily In their dress
ing tent, otherwise the hot work and activ
ity of the ring would make about as quick
a finish of them as it does of their ward
robe, which they are constantly renewing.
THIS WEEK AT OMAHA THEATERS
"My Wife" at the Boyd ' and Mary
Mannerln? Burwood.
"My Wife," a comedy in three acts from
the French of Messrs. Gavault and Char
nay, adapted by Michael Norton, will be
the bill for the third week of the Wood
ward Stock company at the Boyd theater,
beginning with a matinee on Bunduy after
noon. The production Is under the per
sonal direction of Mr. Woodward, and as
the settings give opportunity for rich In
terior display, the stage la sure to look
very attractive. It Is the first bill that will
give the ladles an opportunity to appear
In the dress of fashion, and Miss Lang
will display some beautiful gowns, while
the other women folks . of the cast will
put some very handsome costumes on
view. The story ia unique In conception,
and Is worked out with much good comedy
effect. Gerald Everslelgh, played by Al
Vbert Morrison, has been, the guardian of
Beatrice Dupree, played by Miss Lang,
and has married her to thwart the scheme
of some of her relative to gt her Inher
itance away from her.. It Is understood
that at the proper time ha will step aside
to allow her be married to the inan
he Is engaged to. Ben yianderes. a young
Frenchman, played by'Franli Rentthorne.
Flandcrea has been sent on a tour ef the
world, and Is detained as a prisoner some
where. Everslelgh discovert that he really
loves his wife, who has been wife In name
only, and is about to make a declaration
of this love when young Flandarea turn
up. The comedy flows from the fact that
y the young man U as anxious to get out of
have htm, though, the fact is not known
to either. Tlialr cross purposes lead to a
number of very funny situations.- one of
the most delightful being that in which
they a-Tee to settle the damafiea, aud each
draws a check payable to the other, think
ing he Is the one entitled to pay. But the
affair Is finally cleared up satisfactorily.
The company Is well placed In the cast.
The first performance will be at the Sun
day matinee and the bill will run oil wee!;,
with matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
Mary Mannering romes to the Burwood
theatre next Thursday, Friday and Satur
day In her latest success, "The Indepen
dent Miss Oower, a three act comedy from
the pen of Emma Beatrice Brunncr. The
story concerns the doings of some mem
bers of the fashionable set, and shows the
result of the Independence of a spoiled
child and of her Innocent but foolish acts.
The scenes are lajd In the Berkshires, amid
a fashionable summer colony. The first
act Is the library of a wealthy New
Torker, and the second and third shows an
artist's studio. Miss Mannering Is sur
rounded by a company of exceptionally
prominent players. Iter leading man Is
White Whittlesey, who has Just closed a
two years' engagement with Julia Mar
lowe In a similar capacity. Others in the
cast are Helen Macbeth, Robert Conness,
Dodson Mitchell, Louise Sydmeth, Louise
Rial, Carol Elliott Louise pempsey, Mary
Nash, James Spottlswood, James A. Dick
son and Manton Chambers. The Messrs.
Bhubert have given their star a beautiful
and artistic scenic equipment, and especial
attention has been given to the appropri
ateness of even the most trivial dotail.
This Is Miss Mannerlng's first visit to
Omaha In several season. There will be
a matinee Saturday.
The produotlon to e offered at the Air
Dome for the coming week is a western
melodrama. In five acts, entitled "For His
Mother's Honor." The plot of the play is
laid lit the Black Hills of South Dakota,
about ten years after the Custer massacre.
The play deals with the efforts of one
Howard Nelson to secure possession of
some valuable property In the Black Hills
belonging to Colonel Fairfax and his son,
Dick, and his attempts to avenge a fancied
wrong done his fattier by Mrs. Fairfax.
In the first act Nelson succeeds In getting

HE annual crop of pupil's recitals
sVY 1 is In full growth ojid the

what has been done during the
past year.
Every week brings announcements of
these events to this department of The Bee,
and the list of those "aspiring to be some
what" In the musiacl world Is very formid
able this season. -
As to the value of these pupils' recitals
there has been much discussion and dif
ference of opinion.
The case would seem to be settled as to
the planlstlc side of the question, but as
to the vocal side there Is much to be said
against the pupils' recital. After weighing
the matter over, seriously, and after giv
ing auch affairs, and then, for a season
or two, not giving them, and repeating
the process, the writer has formed some
fairly decided views upon the question.
Now, In tho case of pianoforte teachers
and students, this fact may be given due
consideration, namely, that while a tal
ented pupil will always show more ability
than an untalented one, yet the results
of patient persistent work will be notice
able in the less favored pupil, even In spite
of the apparent absence of talent or tem
perament Why? Because the instrument Is the
same identical Instrument In each case.
Of course. It Ulilsely that the piano
teachers will all disagree with this, and
will proclaim that tone qualities, and fin
esse, and all that sort of thing enter Into
the matter so thoroughly that the question
of the Instrument becomes secondary.
From the exact pedagogical standpoint
this may be correct: but nevertheless It
must be remembered that the audience at
a pupils' recital is not composed of peda
gogues, nor is It made up of people who
have such rare discriminating ears that
they can tell the various differences In
tone-quality produced by the players.
In the pianoforte recital the Instrument
played upon is the same for each and every
student That is the main point
But in the vocal recital It Is entirely dif
ferent Each pupil presents a different In
strument To one nature has given a
beautiful, "elastic" voice; to another, a
voice full of color; to another, a voice of
great range or compass; to another a voice
full of tears aitd emotional possibility; to
another a voice of much natural dramatic
possibility. To others, voices which are
good but full of defects; to one. a voice
with a dull finish; to another, a voice of
much breathinaua; to another, a voice very
susceptible to "tremolo;", to another, a
voice which Is naturally hard and unattrac
tive; to another, a voice which is by nature
"throaty," and so on.
Now what chance has an audience to
discriminate and to bestow its praise upon
the one who has done the "best work"
of the program. It Is utterly impossible
that there should be any such chance, and
so the audience, regardless of any attempt
to consider the "singing" of the pupil,
promptly gives its unqualified praise and
applause to the one who has the best
natural voice, and who may be-and prob
ably la the moat Indifferent and most
careless one in the whole class of studejils.
Thus negligence Is encouraged to coii
tlnae in negligence, and the serious worker
la discouraged. Many a hardworklus

Mr. Dale as Ben Clay, Nelson's right-hand
man; Miss Hayes as "Jack." Miss Lee as
Dick's sweetheart and Miss Miller as Mrs.
Fairfax. The smaller characters will all
be handled by competent people.
On Sunday, June ! the Burwood will
open Its annual display of motion pictures
not the same high grade and edifying
exhibition that made thousands of people
attend moving picture exhibitions' for the
first time, but, Instead, a display that will
far out-distance last season's exhibition.
It has remained for the Burwood manage
ment to secure the first of the really new
contrivances ever brought to Omaha. The
machines in question are made In France,
the French In this one particular being
far in advance of any of the American
manufacturers. The coat of these French
machines Is about equal to that of three
of the machines now In use in the rank
and file of moving picture houses. Much
has been said of the big, new feature that
Is to bo offered In connection with the
picture entertainment, but the Burwood
management still has the secret up Its
sleeve and will only disclose the known
fact that this new feature that everyone
Is conjecturing over will be Installed at
an expense of $5,000, and that It la posi
was tried to the quitting point he never
quit: and today David Bisham Is an
idol of the American musical public
throughout the length and breadth of this
very long and very broad land.
The "golden bowl" of Caruso Is, wo are
told, temporarily "broken," but the "sil
ver bowl" of Bond is still "unloosed."
Yet, a few years ago, Bonci was unknown
as compared to Caruso. (Of course the lat
ter fact still holds good In unmusical cir
cles and unmusical places.)
Let the less glftedpupll take to heart
the historical and established fact that
the phenomenal voices, the wonderful
voices do not, as a rule, hold out. The
comet Is a brilliant member of the solar
system, but It docs not last long.
The writer has known and observed for
many years that the unusually beautiful
voice with a minus quantity of brain, has
never finally won out In a comparison
with the minus quantity of voice and an
abundant supply of brain.
Nature often does queer things, but she
Is generally bound by the law of Compensa
tion. Often the person with a good, rich
voice is notably deficient In brain power
And again, frequently when one meets a
person gifted with the exceptional voice
and a good intelligence combined, there Is
the great tendency to reject criticism and
to invite flattery; result-obllvlon: it may
be postponed oblivion, but oblivion never
theless, sure, stern and certain. The Law
of Compensation.
Just as often, however, one sees the per
son with the Bmall amount of vocal gift,
earnestly desirous to do what can be done!
acquire not only an art and a power of
singing, but also gain a great deal in nat
ural beauty of voice.
The eastern part of this country was
visited tills season by a very famous
singer, Dr. Wuellner, and he was adver
tised, in some places as "The singer with
out a voice." That, of course, was not
true, but It goes to show that the voice
Itself did not command supreme attention.
However, this man, this artist of tones,
created a greater sensation in the musical
circles of the east than any singer who
has been heard here for years. If he comes
back next season, go and hear him, if you
can. You will be repaid.
But to return to the thought of the pu
pils' recital. Suppose one could choose the
finest voice of his class of students, and
then suppose It were possible that each
student should be able to sing with that
voice, or, in other words, to play upon
that same instrument then you would
have a pupils' recital which would be a
delight, and in whicli you could form good
and possibly correct Judgment. But with
this one foundation missing. It seems that
it ought to appear reasonable to tho or
dinary reader that a pupils' recital of
students of singing is an entirely different
affair from a recital of planforte students.
To be sure, someone may dispute this,
and Mate that pupils who have not natu
rally good voices should not be encouraged
to take up singing.
That sounds plausible. A medical friend
spoke along this line In a discussion of the
subject some weeks ago, but the answer
given to him was the same as the state
ment made now, that If such a course had
been adopted some of the best singers of
the world would have been "mute and In
glorious." Some of the best singers of to
day would be unknown. Some of the singers
of Omaha who give much pleasure and
enjoyment, would have been silent forever.
Here again lies a vast difference. The
Instrument at the pianoforte recital is the
same, whether played upon by a boy of
10, or a young woman of 21
But the voice? Ah, that Is another thing.
That Instrument Is being built. The "first
year" pupil shows an Instrument which
will be tremendously Improved upon and
perfected, when that pupil Is a "third" or
"fourth year" pupil. At a vocal recital
each performer plays upon an Instrument
which Is "being- created." At a piano re
cital each performer plays upon a finished
and perfect Instrument.
, t .
These are the principal reasons why the
present writer, writing from the standpoint
of a voice teacher, abandoned the pupils'
recital Idea.
He has acted on the assumption (which
was also stated last week to htm by one
of the leading piano teachers of Omaha)
that if a person sings well and sings any
where in public or seml-publlo, people will
find out who his teacher Is, and thereby
the teacher will not lose anything by his
abstention from the public recital.
But there are other view-points, and
thoae will be perhaps taken up later; suf
fice It now to say that the writer is not
bound by a fixed prejudice in the matter,
but believes that puplU should have some
experience in public, or setul-puUla wwk. j
tively brand new In Idea and material,
Insofar as any Omaha theater Is con
cerned. On Sundays the exhibition will
run continuous from 1 p. m. until 11 p. m. ;
week days from 1 to 5 p. m. and 7 to 11
p. m As before, the entire program will
be changed on Sundays and Thursdays,
the performance being of about an hour
and a half duration.

Mr. and Mrs, Hoxle Clark of St. Louis

Miss Nannie Pnge has returned from
Mr. and Mrs. Roland Paul of Los Angeles,
Cat., who have been spending some time In
New York City and are on their way home,
not from the mercenary standpoint of ad
vertising, but from the more Ideal reason
that pupils should have an opportunity to
"try themselves out," as It were, and hear
their own voices in a larger place than the
average studio.
To tills end the writer has been laying
plans to have this mode of expression
enter largely Into the work of his students
next season.
Of course, the "advertising" feature of
the pupil s recital is the danger spot, as
far bb the teachers are concerned.
Teachers are human, and they are very
liable to exploit only their best pupils.
This is unfair to the others. Very unfair.
But of course, it is nice for tho teacher.
It is a great temptation to place upon
the recital program one's students who do
the best work, notwlthntnnrtlne- th fa ft
that most of that work has been done by
other teachers.
Here comes to a nlann tenrtier a nnnll
who has been for years a pupil of some
other piano teacher; a few chahges are
necessary; the pupil accomplishes these
changes with ease; the teacher foels Jus
tified In saying: "See how much better
she plays than she did," and so forthwith
down goes the pupil on the recital pro
gram. But the audience notes not the
chang, notes only the fact that here la
a plnyer who Is doing big things, playing
ramous compositions, and the credit be
longing largely to another, In spite of
faults corrected, Is all given entirely and
in toto to the last teacher.
A singer comes to a teacher of singing:
she has already studied for years the prin
ciples of tone-production: she has become
perhaps estranged from the teacher who
did all the hard work: the new teacher
gives a few good pointers, changes some
tones, gives a song hitherto unstudied, and
naturally enough says "Here Is my pupil."
But the work was largely done by some
one else. (Tho writer does not remember
having experienced auch a case In his own
work, and 'therefore he can speak freely:
but he has noticed cases In connection
with other teachers, not only vocal, but
also Instrumental.)
It might be an excellent Idea to print,
on the program, the time of m.Mv v.
