13 THE OMAHA SUNDAY KKE: SEPTEMBER 5. lPOf. Stage Magnates Proceed Along- Established Lines AMi'JEMKMJ, ami m:mut. f s O FAR th ffiuon has not aa yet developed a dlMlnct novelty at Hie thPBter. It Is probabl a tribute to the ultra-cunspr-vatlnm of the dollar, thin failure of the producing manager to enture into the new and untried. Yet one is permitted to speculate on the reward that ia to b his who will give the public a. new aensatlon. Home Indication were afforded by the experience of (he last two seasons that perhaps a new day was dawn ing for the stage, a day of real modernism, when matter of vital moment would be de bated In a virile, convincing way. "The Oreat Divide" waa a promise of this, and "Va ultra socialistic play. "The Servant In the House," waa also a step towards the goal. But now the pendulum has wobbled back towards the other side, and the sea son so far haa offered nothing but what haa been tested. The more successful plays of tha last two or three years are to be re peated; the new things are all on linen that have been well proven. It Is not enough that the material prosperity of( the country presages a busy season at the theater. The producing manager, canny In hla experience, will take no chances. He la morally certain that established j dramas will bring returns, and he doesn't propose to explra any new worlds. The north pole may go hang,' so far as he is concerned. But, let soma adventurous per son break the way and develop the fact that along the route lies adequate supp6rt. and Immediately the trail will be blocked by tha hurrying throng of those who want t get In on the ground floor. This, per haps. Is human nature after all. It Is to be regTelteathat this Is so. The theater la too much a part of the national Ufa to be allowed to stagnate. The Ameri can people are mercurial, restless, nervous, excitable and at times hysterical, but un derneath all their apparent mutability is a solid substratum Of conservatism that is the real support of the national greatness. Any step forward Is going to ba surel.' taken; at least this has been the most prominent characteristic of tne social and political life of the nation so rar. Perhaps It Is this conservatism that applies to the stage In the present Instance. Tet it scarcely does justice to the people to say that the stage at present truly represents their thought of life.' It Is not at all com plimentary to suggest that the men and women of today are content with the frothy nonsense that la served to them at the musical comedy shows, the wishy-washy, namby-pamby stuff that masquerades un der tha title of "society" drama, or the too-often questionable situations that are paraded under the guise of "serious" playa. Yet no worthy effort ia made to get away from this. The dominant thought today Is that the theater la a place for amusement only, and to the end that the audience be amused all the producers seem to direct their attention. And so we will be regaled again with jingles and jests, witty nothings, crisp epigrams and mellifluous speeches that contain no thought At the Omaha theaters the season Is slowly gathering force and soon will be moving along on regular time. The Boyd's opening bill was a worthy offering, show ing what can ba done for an .unpromising piece by a little careful renovating. "The Alaskan" last season was about as sad an affair as was aver offered In the guise of musical comedy. This season, with Its comedy revised, it Is about as clever as on wants to see. John Cort lost a Jot of money on It, but William P. Cullen will likely get it back, If his organization can llva down , tha name tha piece made for Itself on Its first time around. At the Orphaum things went off as If there 'had been no summer vacation. The bill waa a good one and tha regular patrons of the house were back In their seats again, all smiles, and prepared to enjoy tha fun, of which plenty was offered. The summer time had been well spent In making over tha Interior of the theater and it la now about as coxy aa one would wish to enter. The Krug had a couple of offerings that pleased Its clientele and Its patronage waa large. Over at the Air Dome the Brecken- rldge stock company Is betting that the oold snap doesn't last all winter, and is offering pleasing plays to large audiences each evening. Tha Burwood is all fixed ' to start Its regular season next Sunday night and the Inquiry for seats warrants the belief that the first engagement under the Hhubert regime Is going to be a suc cess from tha manager's standpoint. Walker Whiteside haa opened his second season In "Tha Melting Pot," and will soon be established on Broadway In the pie. a, which is as certain of success this season as It was uncertain at the beginning of last Whiteside's victory over "Broadway" Is one of tha bright spots In recent theat rical history. It was not a question of de serts, merely of the folks along "the great white way" finding out the manner of man they were rejecting. MIfs Marie I'avey opened the last week In August as leading woman of the Hush Temple stock company In Chicago and was given a most encouraging reception. Hattle Carmontelle is doing a character stunt with one of the new musical plays that opened In the east last week, and gets good notice for her share. Albert Morrison was given a cordial wel come' home by the patrons of the College theater in Chicago. He . has established himself there as firmly as in Omaha. Cecil Owen, who was with the Wood ward company at the Burwood several seasons ago, is to manage the new Morris theater at Indianapolis. The house will shortly be opened, and will be devoted to vaudeville exclusively. Mr. Owen Is in New York at present. (rant Simpson's Omaha friends, and they are many, had pltasant calls from him and hla charming wife during the week. They have made good In. vaudeville and are booked solid until after June. John Todd was In New York when la.il heard from. He has an ambition to enter vaudeville, and may soon be heard from with a sketch he had in hand when he left here. Billy Grew has just closed his season at the Air Dome In St. Joseph, Mo., where he played all summer. Charley Schofleh7w -111 be with the stok company at Brooklyn' again this season. Miss Martin ia not settled yet. At the Omaha Theaters Boyd Offers Billie Burke in "Love Watches" and Dixie in "Mary Jane's Pa" Krug Has a Melodrama and a Musical Play Burwood Will Show Hypnotism and a Male Chorus Big Vaudeville Bill at the Orpheum. M ISS BILLIE BURKE, who Is said to ba one of the most charming actresses on the American stage, will be seen at Boyd's theater on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, Septem ber 7 and 8. This will be tha first oppor tunity local theater-goers will have had of seeing Miss Burke as a star. Season be fore last, as John Drew's leading woman In "My Wife," she made an extended tour through' tha west and everywhere the crit ics got out their dictionaries and hunted up new adjectives to describe her wonder ful charm. Last season so great had been her Individual sueecss In "My Wife" Charles Frohman made her a star in her own right, presenting her In "Love Watches," a delightful comedy adapted from the French. She played in thla piece almost the entire season at the Lyceum theater in New York City, visiting only a few of the larger cities In the east late in the spring Just before she went to London for a brief summer engagement. It ia in this same play "Love Watches' that she Is to be seen here and, according to all ac counts, the performance ought to prove a genuine treat. As has been said, all sorts of pretty and pleasant things have been written about Miss Burke's delightful per sonality, and "Love Watches," it is said, Is Just the play to exhibit to the very best advantage. Unless one Is familiar with the boundless range of Mr. Henry E. Dlxey's art It is difficult to associate this great aotor with the character in which he will ba seen at Boyd's Thursday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee In tha big comedy drama auoceas of last season in New York and Chicago, "Mary Jane's Pa," under the managerial direction of Mr. Henry W. Savage. In "Mary Jane's Pa" Miss Edith Ellis has fashioned a new stage character and Mr. Dlxey brings to its delineation the ex quisite art which has made his career an Important part of America's stage history. Hiram Perkins, the role played by Mr. Dlxey, Is an aesthetic trampt who deserts his wife and children, "leaving them In a small Indiana town, In order that'he may drift around the world and see the coun tries and people about whom he "has read. Meanwhile his wife, who Is a determined, ambitious woman, becomes editor and pro prietor of a small country newspaper and ekea out a living for herself and children. In the conduct of her paper she atands for good morals and, In Una with her pol icy, supports an honest politician In his fight for a seat In the legislature against the corrupt boss of the village, thereby Incurring the enmity of the latter. In the thick of the fight she falls In love with her own candidate and Is considering his proposal of marriage, when Hiram, her husband, dressed like a tramp, but still Imbued with hla old dilettante spirit, like Enoch Arden, reappears after an absence of eleven years. Naturally ahe is shocked by hie resur rection, and after giving him food, asks him what ha expects to do and where he expects to go, to which the Imperturbable Hiram Impudently and smilingly replies: "Be It ever so humble, there's no place like home."- His wife angrily refuses to go back to the old life and will not accept Hiram as her husband; still she haa not the heart to turn him out of doors and gtvea him an ultimatum, saying: "I won't Henry E. Dixey L . , , , , ! 1 - ! 'I I : ' " . f -' . ' '' ': j i ' - V ,i i ft .' I f V ' . f I i . ti'.;r" , ' ' f j v- ' - - 1 . -" V i drive you away homeless, because you are the father of my children. On the other hand, I will not accept you as the head of this house. Here's my proposition: You always were a good cook and handy about the house, when you wanted to be, so I'll give you $10 a month to do my cooking and general housework, with Thursday as your day off, and a thorough understand ing that none shall know you are my hus band. Take It or leave it." To her Bur prise Hiram accepts the offer and the In teresting story that follows Is based upon this singular agreement. Bearing In mind the artistic finish which marked other of Mr. Savage's productlono, It la needless to observe that he has pro vided for Mr. Dlxey a splendid supporting company, Including Miss Helen Lackaye, Miss Gretchen Hartman, Miss Maude Earle. Miss Lillian Dix, Miss Dorothy Phillips. Mr. Ed Chapman, Mr. Frank Blxby, Mr. Joseph Lothian, Mr. Cyril Ray mond and many others. "Dare Devil Dan" which begins at the Krug this afternoon and runs until Wed nesday evening, is presented by Ray Ray mond and company of players. The musi cal feature of this play has been empha sized. The play Is breexy with a love and comedy Interesting of the popular sort. The action runs briskly along and some dancing and singing girls liven the action. Ray Raymond sings his song, "He Never Made an Indian Sign." Other song hits are "I'd Like to Call You Cutey," "Tha Blooming U. S. A.," "That Is What Love Means to Me," "Calamity Kate." "Just Too Late," "It's a Grand Old World When You Spoon." One of the features of tha production Is a pony chorus with soma pretty gowns. Many of the song numbers are whistled and hummed every where the show is given. The Girl from U. . A., opening at the Krug Thursday evening and running for tha balance of the week, Is a musical dra matlo novelty, with a chorus of pretty girls, brilliant ensembles, original songs and dances. Nadyne Shannon and Dave Nowllnyare tha two of the bright enter tainers who lead the story and figure in several musical numbers. Although the plot leads ona among acenea of oriental splendor, the tone of tha play remains viv idly and thoroughly American throughout. Tha love interest la Intense, there la a catchy type, of comedy through the play and the scenery and costumes have been assembled with a view of ' presenting a worthy entertainment. Dave Nowlin has a specialty in which he impersonates grand opera Blngers, displaying a remarkable voice with which he runs the four ootavas. Some of the musical numbers of thla piece are "Tha Daughter of Uncle Sam," "Ain't This a Grand Old Town?", "Will You, Won't You, Why?" Several Turkish and Chinese dances are presented. The Leland comedy quartet of male voices offer musi cal numbers and comedy. Mr. Nowlin sings "Hypnotlxe Her," In a way of his own. "Tha Sunny Side of Broadway," a big musical show with lots of girls, will bo at the Krug all of Eagles week, beginning next Sunday afternoon. This attraction has been booked as one of the entertainment features during this great convention. With two performances today by Dr. Curtis, the hyptonlst, the Burwood theater I will bring to a close the longest season it has ever known fifty-three consecutive weeks. Dr Curtis has made thousands laugh during the past seven days' and ha promises that his programs this afternoon and evening will comprise a repertoire of the most laughable tests yet offered. As has been the practice all the week, Dr. Curtis will be assiated at each performance by Anna Eva Ray in her act termed "Somnolency," in which she answers ques tions which she prefers thai her auditors write on their own paper before coming to the theater. Dr. Curtis and Miss Ray will give a matinee at the Burwood this af ternoon, starting at 2:30. At the Eisteddfod or Welsh singing con test at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposi tion at Seattle, the main event was tha male chorus competition for a chorus of not less than forty voices nor mora than fifty, for which a prize of luOO was offered for the best rendition of "Nidaros" by Pro theroe, and "On the Sea," by Dudley Buck. Four choruses entered the contest, viz: The Ralston Glee club, Seattle; the Or pheus club of Vancouver, il. C. .also tha Welsh male chorus from the same city and the Ohio male chorus. The prise was finally awarded to the celebrated Ohio male chorus, which already haa upward of 100 victories to its credit in the east and cen tral west, but this was its first attempt and victory in the northwest. The Ohio male chorus will give two concerts In Omaha at the Burwood theater, Saturday, September H. city. Julia Marlowe has both a town and country home. Maxlme Elliott, Florence Roberts, Nance O'Neil. E. H. Sothern, Bertha Galland, John Mason. George Faw- cett, Chailes Rlchman, Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore. George Cohan, all are landlords of country estates, and with the true hospitality for which the stage Is noted, they entertain the less fortunate brothers and sisters of their profession. Indeed, theatrical house parties and week ends have become a featuto of stage so ciety. At the present rate In which the actors are leaning toward simple life, it will not be many seasons before hey will have all secured a home of some kind in the heart of nature." The new bill at the Orpheum has for a headline act Adelaide, a dancer, who hus been with Eddie Foy and Jimmle Powers for several seasons as a feature. Adelaide comes here on his occasion with four corn companion dancers In a sketch entitled, "The Billposter's Dream." Patrice returns with a skit, "The Lobbyist," In which she Inveigles a congressman to support a cer tain bill, and having brought the congress man to her way of thinking, she allows herself to become a subject of Cupid's wiles when the congressman proclaims his love. Bobby Pandor and brother have a nice act in which feats of strength and posing are shown. Hawthorne and Burl have a line of songB, dances and some merry sayings. Kenney, McGahn and Piatt are a trio of singing and dancing merrymakers. "Tha Deaf and Dumb Manager," is the name of their offering. Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman present "The Chauffeur and tha Maid." Abbott and Minthorne Worthley, brother and sla ter, have a singing and dancing act styled "On the Beach." Mr. Worthley has a sneezing specialty that Is irresistible. New kinourome views and the Orpheum concert orchestra complete the bill. Daily matinees. The Charles Breckenridge Stock company Is still playing to good business at the Air Dome In spite of th unfavorable weather. The canvas roof makes It as cheerful as a theater and perfectly dry and warm. The play tonight and the first half of the week will be a rollicking comedy entitled, "Teddy O'Malley." Mr. Breckenridge has the title role, that of a young Irishman traveling In Europe. This Is one of the best playa In the company's large reper- I tolre and Teddy O'Malley Is Mr. Brecken rldge's best comedy part. Thursday. Fri day and Saturday of tills week Mr. Breok enrldge's company will produce the famous play, "The Devil," and a special production Is promised. Chain Gang Man 0 Asks for His Pay Toung Greek Cannot Speak English, ' but He Can Make Signs Like Money. Joe Cormock Is a Greek boy, not of age, unable to speak English, but with an astonishing knowledge of the Importance of money. Joe is averse to labor and so ba became a parasite on the body polilio and was taken to jail. Then, as a means of mak ing him earn his keep, tie was put on the chain gang. Now, Joseph bas tolled aforetime with soma of tha ganga of laborers on railroad excavation around Omaha and got Into tha habit of looking for his check. So when he had worked out tha first day on Mr. Donahue's chain gang ha walked up to the boss and made signs whloh. being Interpreted, said: "When do I get my pay?" "Now," said the boss, and ha herded Joseph and tha rest of tha gang back to tha city jail for tha evening meal. AMUSEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS. LmLlPHOHES - Bell, Doos. 1506 ; Ind. A-1506- TIKIES DR.
