B TlTr; OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE: AUOUST 15, 1900. OPERA AT COYEST GARDES Baron DErlanjer's "Ten" a Novelty of the St a ion. BKIEF TALK WITH THE COMPOSER Prexlartloa, Rerelvcd with Interest Leaalon C'ontrrt lin ( omt (iarilen nnd the Metro polltnn's Tarmnll. LONDON. Aut;. 4.-A noon visit to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, la by pathways of decaying vegetables and faded flowers which mark the close of the mar ket's busy hours and through strata' of odors that make the far famed Cologne seem quite sterilised In comparison. As yu pick up your skirts and mince gingerly along, with handkerchief held to the face. It Is difficult to believe that ynu are ncar lng the famous cradle of song. But used to the contrasts of London, where a narrow nlley which siiKKesls Ave nue A, may lead to a place, you are pre pared for the sudden appearance of a row of Imposing, Hinnke grimed pillars fronting the huge building that dwarfs Its Insig nificant sin r'uindlngs. It has panned through many changes und chances and has only apparently grown a bit grimier In the pro cess. It has survived Its environment, for tha fashionable dwellings and historical land marks that once were Its neighbors have passed Into strange hands and strange uses. A boxing club occupies the one lime Evans Rooms of Thackeray's day, and In Maiden Lane, also close by, where Turner was born, you will find It difficult to discover anyone who remembers further back than the murder there a few years ago of William Terrlss. But In St Paul's church, which still like the opera house, resists the invader, ynu may stop and get your breath, noting the resting places of Samuel Butler, author of "Hudlbras;" Wil liam Wycherley, author of "The Country Girl" and other comedies; Sir Peter Lely 1UI n THS RELIABLE STQRX Annual Piano Clearance Sale will continue for one week longer.

It Is well for you to make this detour to prepare your mind for the shock awaiting It. for you. being a New Torker. may be used to the energy displayed In the office? of the home opera houses during the height of the wesson at mld'lay. Tou recall th'-in at the moment as anthills of Industry, a dozen telephones ringing, office boys and girls darting hither and thither, agents. Impresarios and others In a wedgelike ma-", all demanding a hearing, and on the out side a fringe of Habel dweller, who have to come to hand in their relgnatons or to revoke those of the day before. There is actually no moment when to your mem ory you can refer to peace brooding above the porticos as it seems to brood here at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. As you step from the street Into the main foyer you discover a Military porter with a long handled watering can glvlnat the row of potted plants their nurnlng bath. He looks at you sleepily and coh tlnues his task. At the little window a youth la trying to book a stall, Interrupt ing to do this the reverie of an old gentle man with gray beard who has cbargo of the sale of seats. A leisurely mannered employe takes your card and leaves you to rest for a low; lime on a velvet seat which occupies a com fortable corner. You have an appointment with Bafon Frederick d'Krlanger. who, with Lord de Grey, Lord Esher and H. B. Hlgglns. fprms the present directorate of the opera house. He Is also one of the di rectors of the Metropole, a member of a banking firm and a director In the new Cape Central railway. Baron d'Erlanger, whose pseudonym Is Federlco Rlngel, Is the composer of the one novelty of the opera season, "Tess," which haa been re ceived with much Interest and which prom ises to have Its success duplicated through the provinces, where It Is to be taken thlj autumn. He was born In Paris of a Ger man father and an American mother. He Is a man on the sunny sld of 40 appar ently, tall, distinguished and pleasant mannered.

Pnrls; "Inez Mendc)," produced at Covent Harden In ISM; a pianoforte quintet and a violin concerto, which , was played last winter In America and elsewhere bv Mischn Elman. and In Kngland by Frits Krel.-Ocr St a Thilharmonlc concert. " 'Tess,' " says the composer, "was first produred at San Carlos, Naples, on April 10. lXXi, under the direction of Mr. Panlxxa, wha has conducted It here and Is one of our regular staff. This first appearance was Interrupted by the last great eruption of Vesuvius, and with falling buildings, clouds of lava dust and the noise and terror of pnnlc stricken people, It la not remark able that It dropped out of sight and hear ing for a while, to be revived last autumn In Milan. "The libretto Is by Lulgi llllca and Is based on Thomas Hardy's Wessex novel, 'Tess of the DTrbervllles.' The English version of the libretto is made by Claude Aveling. "Although we broke the record of at tendance on the opening night and In the royal box were Queen Alexandra, Trincess Victoria and Prince Christopher of Oreew, who were most enthusiastic, I was more delighted with the interest and satisfac tion of Thomas Hardy himself than with anything else or than I can express. Mr. Hardy came from his home In Dorchester to be present at several rehearsals and the premiere. He expressed unqualified praise of the music and considered the dramatisation of the novel very effective. "It Is not usual that an author can wit ness the necessary eliminations and changes that have to be made to fit a story for the operatic stage without some sentiment of regret, and If Mr. Hardy experienced any it was surely not visible. His commendation was most appreciative and his comprehension of the difficulties more kindly expressed than that of some of the critics who do not seem to realize that to use the entire story as It is, so fer tile In incident, would require the com position of a trilogy at leSHt. "The story of the opera ends In the bri dal chamber of Tess, where the confession to Angel Clare is made, and after his re fusal to forgive in the song 'My Soul Ruin-in, It Cannot Pardon,' Tess goes out in commit suicide." E ery one agrees that the setting of the various scenes Is admirable. The archaic settings of o me of the Rcyal opera house productions are curiously inefficient to American eyes trained to expect the best But no criticism other than commendatory can be written of the scenic pictures of "Tess." The first view Is of Blackmoor In the early hours of a bright May day. There are the Durbeyfleld farm, the hayloft, tha tumble down wagon, the shambling old horse which looks out patiently from Its shed. It Is 4:30 and the clock from the village steeple announces the fact. Be yond the foreground is an exquisite per spective of the Wessex downs fading away into soft distances. "The first scene la spoiled to me In a way," said the composer, "from the pres ence of the old horse, which Is really ono of the standbys of the Covent Garden equipment. Although perhaps not quite so celebrated as Frau Yogi's, which knew his Wagner operas so well that It Is said that when It heard the motif In" Gotterdam merung It made baste for the funeral pyre with Us beautiful burden, still our quad ruped can boast that when It once gets on the stage as for example when It leads the warrior crowd In 'Faust' It Is loaih to depart and goes round and round and round until you would think it wouRl be come diszy and drop from vertigo. "Once In Its long ago salad days there Is a story, absolutely disbelieved by the old attaches of the opera house, that the horse attempted to break Its thrall and bolted down Bow street among the larksupra and lilies, overturning rose stalls and cabbage heaps, until it was captured and brought back. If It should have a return of this demonic cheerfulness today I should not weep, for, notwithstanding my affection for It, I have always believed that the ap pearance of any animal on the dramatlo or operatlo stage is a great mistake. "No matter how hard we try to produce the appearance of realism we cannot sue ceed perfectly. There must always be some artificiality, a degree of illusion. Human beings have to make up for the footlights no matter how crudely natural the stage settings may be and the action of the plot must conform to the rules of exits and entrances. "But you can do nothing with an animal. It comes on without makeup, without illusion and never fits admirably into the picture. It holds the eye to the exclu slon of everything else, and If not fear on the part of the audience that It may escape and cause damage, there Is cer tainly curiosity as to Its movements, and tls all detracts from the force of the play or opera. "Even In the subordinate matter of scenic arrangements the old time subscriber to the Covent Garden opera company loves to see best of all the stage settings with which he is familiar. Conservative in every thing, conservatism in opera seems to be part of the Londoners' creed, so I have been especially gratified that this season we have been able to put on several nov elties and to have them received so ad mirably. 'Tess' among them. "There is certainly a change In public sentiment here. In America I understand that the situation Is quite different; that a new operatic work is always received with Interest and an Impresario can always count on an audience who if they have no other motive than curiosity will attend urfeeu ujr iiiiil impelling torce. yuite a contrary state of affairs prevails here. "People will not come to a new work If it Is advertised they stay away, as they do in many towns and cities of north ern Germany Hamburg, for example. They display no curiosity, no interest. They will not run the risk of being bored. "This Is the first season here that we have been able to give Samson et Delllla, I on account of its Biblical libretto, I sup ; pose, which has handicapped its produc tion in the past, the directors not believing I that it would have a success sufficient to warrant lis presentation. It has been tremendously well liked and has been pro duced more times than any other." Before he hurries away to keep an en gagement Baron d'Erlanger speaks In the highest terms of the work of Miss Emmy Detttinu, who takes the came part la his opera. "She makes an Ideal Tess and says that she loves It." he says. "Her beauty fits admirably into the picture of peasant surroundings, and she looks thoroughly at home In the c&axmiilg farm yard scenes." One of the singers at Covent Garden this season was Madame Edvina, who was heard In "Louise." She Is a Californian. V. . . . V . . i i .

The eleventh consecutive week of the popular Burwood's form of mid-summer en tertainment will be inaugurated at that theater this afternoon. That the whole some diversion that Is being furnished Is high In the esteem of amusement lovers Is moat plainly demonstrated by the fact that the Burwood is the only Omaha theater that survived the summer season, and the last week, hot as It was, resulted In the most prosperous business of any week thus far this summer. Summer time vaudeville Is to continue this week and next only, a surprise being In store for the week start ing Sunday, August 29. Just 'what It Is has not been made public, but it may be taken for granted that when the Burwood an nounces a surprise, one may rest assured that something out of the ordinary Is In store. Bo it will be well to Keep oners eyes peeled. A glance over the fine array for the first half of the current week will tfatlsfy the most skeptical that another treble value program haa been prepared. It may truth fully be said of Franz Mathes and Mtbs Lewis, the sharpshooters, that no team In a similar line of work has won more medals and trophies. Their shooting Is said to be marvelous, and so unerring Is their aim that their work smacks almost of a supernatural order rather than being simply that of a devoted man and wife ordinary human beings. Copeland and Coy will supply a few mlnues of nonsense, and there will be still one more act. The usual extreme care has been exercised In select ing the various reeli of films from which come the state-wide known Burwood dis tinctive moving pictures. Herr Urbach's place at the big pipe organ will be taken by Herr Ferd Bangs, but recently arrived from Copenhagen, where he was engaged as organist in one of the Immense cathe drals. Monday evening during the half hour organ recital and vocal concert Herr Bangs will perform Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" and "Lullaby" by Oodard. It Is said that his understanding ot this most melodious and wonderful ot Instruments covers a broad scope and much Is expected of him tomorrow evening. , Miss Hlgglns will sing "Dream." by Bartlett, and "I Love You Truly," (A) by Carrie Jacobs Bond, and "When Tou Are Near" (B), one of her own compositions. This particular recital la of special Interest and bids fair to be the best attended of any of the regu lar Monday evening concerts. After the re cital, which will continue from to 1:30, the picture and vaudeville program will be resumed. "Cool breeze" maftnees are given dally from 1 until S, and are just the place for tired Bhoppers to rest an hour or so and an ideal amusement for the youngsters. For the opening attraction at the Krug theater "Shadowed by Three," an inter esting melodrama by Lem B. Parker, will be presented by W. F. Mann's company of thirty players. The Krug' has been redecorated and now presents an Inviting appearance to its patrons. "Shadowed by Three" is a story which abounds in the elements of humor and pathos, love and hatred, skillfully blended. Incidental to the play Henella, Hindoo magician, pre sents his act of mysterious feats. A quar tet sings some of the old songs in a little different way. Bertha Julian, the heroine, makes a sensational escape from officers In an automobile, which is a real sixty horse power car, and carries three pas sengers. This car crashes Into a con servatory of a wealthy New Yorker' and furnishes one of a series of thrilling es capades in which the heroine Is Involved before the three sleuths finally apprehend her. One scene Is laid in Wyoming, where the heroine disguises herself as a cowboy. A snowbound train is shown in one scene. Several horses are carrrled by the com pany. The scenic investures are elabo rate, and Mr. Mann promises Omahans something really worth while In the way of modern melodrama. Following this at traction 'The Cowboy and the Chief" will be seen at the Krug. Shadowed by Three' will be presented four nights snd usual Sunday and Wednes day matinees, beginning with matinee to day. Seats now on sale.

Mr. Charles Breckenrldge Is a come dian of ability and reputation; he haa ap peared In nearly all the cities, but this Is his first bow to an Omaha audience. though he will be remembered by many people, as this city Is his home. The company will appear tonight in the new southern drama, "Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow." This play Is a realistic presentation of southern life be fore the civil war. It represents strikingly the stirring society and business events of the ante-bellum days In New Orleans and other noted southern centers. The play deals with the subject of slavery In a rather unusual way, showing the pos sibilities of people of noble birth being dispossessed of their property and branded as of ignoble blood through the techni calities of tne law. Marlon Chandler, a Louisiana heiress, and her sister, are dis inherited because their father failed to make a will; but through the herolo ef forts of Dick Stanbury, Marlon's suitor. and the cleverness of a Yankee lawyer, their property Is restored to them and their noble birth is then established. The cos tumes used In this production are correct reproductions of those worn about 1860 and the Crescent club house at the race track in New Orleans Is an exact repre sentation of the southern archlttcture of that period. The climax of the first act Is a thrilling horse race, when "Blue Grass," the Kentucky colt, wins the In terstate Post Blue ribbon. The play Is full of strong situations, Interspersed with lots of good comedy.

POSTAL BUSINESS IS GROWING New Station for Ames and Twenty Fonrth and Enlargement tow Ilanacom Park. Word has been received by Postmaster Thomas that the application for the estab lishment of a new postoffloe sub-station at Ames avenue and Twenty-fourth street had been approved by the Poatoffice de partment at Washington and the new sta tion Is to be Installed at once. It will be located Just off Ames avenue on Twenty- fourth street in the north end of the Sara toga Drug company's building, next to the alley. The portion of the building as signed for the sub-station will be re modeled and equipped as a modern post- office station with a full complement of boxes, stamp and delivery departments. The people in that section of the city have been wanting a sub-station there for sev eral years, the nearest sub-station being Lake street. The new station will be opened for business about October 1. Station B of the Omaha poatoffice de partment at Leavenworth street and Park avenue Is to be enlarged for the accom modation of the rapidly Increasing patron age of the Uanscom park section. The present station in the Johnson build ing, just off Leavenworth street on Park avenue, is crowded to the limit, panlcu larly when the Sunday noon malls are dl trlbuled, and the rooms are far too small for the growing needs of the office dur Ing week days. It is planned to erect a special building for the postofflce on the vacant lot on Leavenworth street, just east Of tha John- son Wlldin. "7. l$iT2'?!n' Sale Is Now ram These Tatnea Ax Postural?
