B TTTE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 12, 1900. AMI PEME.1TI. AMt'SEMBKTI. AMrKMET9. What's in a Name? Asks Mabel Taliafero of Public Popular Actress Asks that in the Future She Be Known as "Nell," and that All the Favor She Has Gained by Mabel Be Transferred to Her Under the New Title by Which She Will Be Known Hereafter. HAT'8 In name? That which I T A f I we call a roM by any other y y I would smell aa eweet?" So tnu.ipa tnt larr-cepulet. when trying by her aophlitry to ree onclla tha difference between her house and that of tha Montague to whom aha haa given her heart. What'a In a name, Indeed. From tha very beginning of min'i activity It haa ban tha dealra of the ambitious to achieve aoraethlnf that would send hl name down tha agea. Thla effort haa taken all aorta of guises. The warrior haa "plucked tha bubble, reputa tion, even from the cannon'a mouth." Th) writer haa atrlven through the long nlghta and buay daya of hie Ufa to add to the aum of tha world'a knowledge auch modicum aa would ensure him remembrance. The orator has spouted, tha alnger haa voiced hla aweetest notes, the peat has raved, the painter haa smeared, tha sculptor haa chis eled, tha actor haa ranted, the doctor haa searched, tha explorer risked hla Ufa and denied himself comforts all aorta and con dltlons of men have given over their lives to tha end that after death they should not ba forgotten, but their namea would live as long aa grateful humanity could recall their services. The Epheslan youth was not a pyromanlao; ha was merely obsessed ' with a moat laudable deslra to leave hla name to tha ages, and so he put the torch to tha temple. What's In a name, for soothT All man'a efforta hava been wrapped up In a name. But here comes Mabel Taliaferro, with a name ao artlstocratlc that few can pro nounce It, and for this very reason chucks It to tha winds. It matters not that thou sands of her admiring fellow countrymen and women are so familiar with the name that they flock to see her, aa Joyously as if they could' say tha queer name right off, Just like they aay 'Smith" or "Jones." It doeen't even matter to her that her later waa able to go out last season aa a atar and gather In numerous eheckela be cause tha trusting public wasn't wise to tha fact that there are two of them, and flocked to aee the one when they thought they were seeing the other. It doesn't mat ter that aha haa actually made the name known. 8he la tired of .It. Nor doea it seem to cut any Ice with her that when aha waa wedded the law and custom gave her a right to take another name, one that haa been worn with aome grace and not a little dignity by eminent personages on the American stage, and abroad. She aaka ua to kindly forget that she waa born Taliaferro, waa christened Mabel and wedded Thompson. We are kindly re quested In the future to call her "Nell." Just Nell. ' No more. It la her middle name, and she has a right to use It. But we are to transfer to Nell all tha loyal devotion we hava paid to Miss Taliaferro so that "Nell" can start out with a fame already built. Very well; Nell It shall be hereafter. It will not only prevent confusion as to the mere matter of pro nunciation, but It will help In another way.. When, In the future, her thrifty and enterprising husband decides to send out a No. S company to present some piece In which his wife haa made a suc cess, he can't hornswoggle us into the belief that we are to see tha real thing until we get to the theater and find out different. , It Is quite within reason for him to have two Taliaferro In his man agerial purview, but he'll hava to ba con tent with one Nell. of "In the Bishop's Carrlaae" and "The Little Princess" she touched tha hearts of playgoera from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and aa the leading lady of William Col lier's "On the Quiet" and "The Dictator" companies she made a lasting impression in the chief cities of Austialla. Robert Brownlng'a "Plpp Passes" haa been ataged but onre, and then at the age of 19 the present Nell (the former Miss Taliaferro) played the tltla role, and not only made a sensation by "opening" the play with an uninterrupted monologue lasting twenty-seven minutes, but walked away with the honors of the most difficult dramatic poem ever written. After that came "Polly," and now in a new play the little atar makes her bow aa Nell under th direction of Frederick Thompson. Omaha had the privilege of watching the work of two of the most prominent of the entertainers of today during the week. Maybe it might be better to differentiate a little and refer to one aa an entertainer and tha other as an actor. It Is not tearing from Blllle Burka a single leaf of the laurels she has won to suggest that she la not aa yet established aa an actor. One awallow, you know, doesn't make a eum mer, nor does one part well aone make an actor, even In these days of hurry-up, when stars ar made over night, and plays are written while tha audience walla. But Blllle Burka la an entertainer of much promise, and may some day b entitled to all tha distinction aha now alma at. In "Love Watchee" ah la all that waa prom ised for her In advance; she shows a de cided capacity for tha expression of cer tain of the commoner amotions, and In that gave evidence of her potential ability when the part aha haa will ask her to grasp aome of the mora subtle and leaa ap parent things of Ufa. Th role of Jaque- llne la not one of depth, nor la tha com edy in which she is the central figure one of weight, but It haa qualities that please especially in the delicacy of lta humor, tha untainted quality of lta comedy, and lta general polish. Such comedy is making much headway In America, and that it is argues for an advance In public taste. In th past American comedy has been tainted with an element of coarseness not always palatable. Tha buffoonery and the broad dialogue of the farces of the past Is slowly but certainly being supplanted by comedy' of a higher and worthier type. Thla Is not because we are becoming a na tion of bloodless exquisites, but because more and mora of refinement Is coming into th national Ufa, and with It a greater degree of elegance in mannera," both on and off tha stage. In "Adonis." at a day ro far back in the the company lift the play above lUelf. and give it a false value. Mr. Dlxey de serves something better than the limita tions of a part like that of Hiram Perkins. 4 Henrietta Crosman, who Is playing "Sham" at Powers theater In Chlcsgo, is years that he will not fix the date, Mr. Dlxey has played many parts and played them well. Hiram Perkins is neither the best nor the worst thing he has done, but It is well done, end In making interesting a part whose claim to public attention must arise solely from the efforta of the man who presents It, Mr. Dlxey Is achiev ing the actor'a true mission. It Is not his fault that the play has about as many wesk points ascould well be crowded Into three acts; that the characters are car rlcatures, and that lta action Is so pain fully mechanical that soma of the sub terfuges resorted to would scarcely be adopted by the "thrlllera." Hla acting and that of Miss Lackaye and the others In renewing her triumph of last season on Broadway. The continued success of this remarkable woman la one of the bright spots In the annale of the American theater, and a proof that persistent ef fort, properly directed, can not well fall. Mlsa Crosman'a forte for comedy has long been recognised, and her hold on the pub lic la greatly atrengthened by tha work she Is now doing. BOYD'S THEATER TOMGIir, MONDAY, SPECIAL TUESDAY TUESDAY MATINEE At the Omaha Theaters Eagles' Week Will Be Given Over to Muiical Plays, with "Honey moon Trail" at the Boyd, "The Beauty Spot at the Burwoqd, "The Sunny Side of Broadway" at the Krug and a Fine Bill at the Orpheum. - A Mr. Dixey deserve to ba called an actor. Sine that dear old lady of hla saw him N interesting as well as amue lng number In "Honeymoon Trail." which will play here for thre nlghta atarting Sun day, with a special matinee on Tuesday at tha Boyd is the Brownie dance, done by ten little "broil- era" of the company. It waa arranged and staged by that greatest of all .stage producers, Ned Wayburn, and he claims it to be, with the wonderful dancing of the "broilers." the best feature act he has ever placed In any show. "Vo," the new musical comedy written by tha celebrated magaxlne writer, O. Henry, and Franklin P. Adams, the hu morist f the New York Evening Mall, with music by A. Baldwin Sloane, will be seen at the Boyd theater for three nights starting Sunday, under the management of The Harry Askln company. The plot Is founded on O. Henry's well remembered story, "He Also Serves," which appeared In Collier's Weekly last fall. Ita dramatic Interest and humor have been preserved, but there have been many aditlona made to the characters introduoted. John E. Young heads the caat and his magnetic personality, his unctuous humof and graceful dancing set the piece going at such a lapid gait that It quickly de veloped Into a whirlwind auccesa The aongs were encored repeatedly, the cos tumes are magnificent and the thirty-two chorus girls, who Incidentally average but abandon, while O. Henry's pungent wit. How Old is Your Favorite Actor? T In making tha singular request that the public transfer Its favor from Miss Talia ferro to Nell, Mr. Thompson writes a note as follows: In the future Miss Mabel Taliaferro, tha youngest dramatic atar on the American Stage, will be known simply as Nell. In the history of theatricals there la no record of ao sudden and complete a change In the name of a player man or woman who haa enjoyed anything Ilka Miss Talia ferro's popularity and success. Because of this fact she and her management couple with the announcement of- the change the reasons for making It. "T.iiaferro" is Dronounced correctly In two totally different ways and Incorrectly in half a dosen others. The name is so foreign and ao confusing-to playgoers gen erally that in many theatrical oentera it Is unfamiliar to tha lips of men and women of whose every-day conversation plays and players form a part. It does not suggest to friend or stranser any of tha daintiness and rirllsh charm of the little star. in. stead, by lta spelling and verbal weight. It has too often Indicated the massive spread of a grand opera soprano rather than the alendnr delicacy of a young American girl. Nell happena to be tha erstwhile Miss Tal iaferro's middle nsme, and as It Is hers by rlsht and as through Its very simplicity and sweetness it eliminates in a moment all th difficulties and unfortunate mlscon- cept Ions' of the larger surname it has been chosen by the winsome actress herself as the title by which she wlshee to be known In the future. FRKDEIUC THOMPSON Nell is 22 vears of axe. has been a star since she waa 20 and has been a principal player of leading psrts In famous plays ver sine she was 1 years old. She la moat widely known as the creator of the tltla role in "Polly of th Circus." th tnnat successful comedy of recent years, but long before she had become a atar she waa celebrated throughout the United States aa Baby Fasrome In "Blue Jeans her first Dart. Subsequently she wss flve-year-old principal In "Patent Applied Sor," played a leading part with Andrew ack and Kali Emmett in "Shamrock" and "Klllarney." and when sh had added two mor summers to her age waa with rhiiinm Olpott In "Tommy th News boy" and "Th Irish Artist." By the time she was T she was the most famous child itMu In America. Before she had doi playing with dolls vminr ladv. who will henceforth be bnwn aa Nell, had clayed with Ruaa Why tal In "For Fair Virginia." had created JC.ter In Zangwllls "Children of the iv. which save here the first oppor .,nit in nlav abroad, and had originated tha adorable Falrle Child In William But l.r Yeats' exaulslta "The Land of Heart's Desire." This latter piece she presented .h. ... nt 11 before tha leading social and literary organisations of J'fland under . v,. direction of the distinguished author.

This la especially ua nowadays, when there la a con stant exchange of artlats between one country and another;' and when, as at present, many of the favorites or dinarily regarded as Americana are in re ality of foreign origin.

''The Futurity Winner" Is from tha pen of Edmund Day, and la written in two acenes, the first being In the Jockeys' quarters of the Sheepshead Bay track. New York, Just before th Futurity classlo race, the second showing tha actual race Itself, between three thoroughbreds. In a number called "Nightingales Making Love," tha Brothers Permane introduce a line of light buffoonery and clever, bird like musto which la making them highly popular over th circuit. Tha Three Lelghtons return again in an amusing skit which they call "A One Night Stand In Minstrelsy," in which is much clever dancing and dialogue. Ray Montgomery and the Healey Elstera furnish a lot of comedy and dancing, while tha Ferrell Brothera have a cycling act pronounced a wonrer in other cities. Lew Wells Is well known in Omaha am one of tha most popular monologuists In tha business Vlttoria & Glorgetta ar foreign equilibria's of high caliber who ar making their do but in America thla year. Th Orpheum Concert orchestra of fifteen pieces and th klnodrom with Its new films top off a most excellent Eagles' week bill. A trip through the Yukon-Alaskan exposition at Soattle is one of tha features of th kino-drome. "The people of the stag are becoming more domestio In their living every day," la th verdict of Mlsa Viola Gillette, a prominent member of "The Beauty Spot" company which opena at tha Burwood theater thla evening for th entlr week. Broadway, th headquartera of th actora of thia country," contlnuea this charming actress, "la mor like a main street of an inland village in the aummer tim than It la Ilka what It really la. th loafing place of tha great body of disengaged. Why, son. years ago on could not walk along this street without jostling burlesque actors, vaudeville teams and legitimate performer. Now go up and down lta en tire length any aummer afternoon and you will find it entirely deserted but for the unfortunate ones who ar in Immediate need of a aummer engagement. Where are aU tha thousands of Idle actors T The question Is Indeed a puxzler to the uultlated. Its answer can be found In nearly every rural district where the atage folka are summering on their farms. In their bunga lows or camping out. Everywhere the spirit of domesticity la rampant and the modern actress Is at no time mora con tented than when superintending the house hold duties of her own home. What care ehe how humble it la she may have lived in palatial hotela all the season, but to her the simple cottage of the vacation period, with herself tha mistress, la far more' In viting than any royal suite in a alx-dollar-a-day hostelry. Possibly It Is the very contrast that makes It attractive, or, par- haps. It la tha aensa of proprietorship, who can tell, but th fact remalna that con tentment auch as aha haa never found in the glamor of th footllght rests In her home." ill I- ?. 7 - fir NIGHTS rl STARTING Sunday, Sept.

In "The Beauty Spot." there are a lot of Interesting faota concern ing tha atage negro of today and past years nut the native JLfrlcaoan of Ethiopian extract Ion, but the white actor who Interprets tha character of a darkey. The birthplace of mlnatrelry, which, translated, m-ans aegrp character acting, was tu a bumble dwelling at tl Catherine street. New Tora City. In the early part of tha nineteenth century, cloaely followed by Para Reed In IS. Not until ISO waa tha first minstrel troupe organised, al h. according to aome records; the first black-face comedian, one Herbert, made hie first appearance aa a burnt corn man aa far back as 1815 in Albany. In tha older days the negro comedian lacked the more re fined elementa of his art found In hla brothera of tha present day. He de pended for hla laugha on a eoaraer brand of humor, and hla make-up waa eooentrlo and grotesque In the ex treme. jut the present time a man portray ing tha character of a negro can be juat aa refined aa a atraight come dian, witness Willie P. weetmana work.

When Arthur Jerome Eddy of Chicago wrote his great novel, "Ganton 4c Co.," he had no idea that the book would be seised upon for Its dramatlo value, and when the artist. In illustrating the narrative, pic tured tha central character, John Ganton, he never dreamed that hla conception of thla man would be reflected upon the atage Just aa It appeared upon the printed page. Persons who have read thla novel and who are familiar with the illustrations will be almost startled at the remarkable manner in which Mr. George Fawcett Im personates tha character of John Ganton in the play, "The Great John Ganton," which cornea to tha Burwood in the near future. Tha actor looka aa if ha had atepped from between the covers of the book, arid yet ha appears practically with out make-up. It la likely that Mr. Few eett's great resemblance to this book char acter suggested to the Meyers. Shubert hU selection for the title role In the play. Mr. Fawcett'a successes have been man, notably hi part of James Phelan, the alderman, in "Tha Man of the Hour." and Big BUI In "The Squaw Man." This lattei i part won for him a distinction in London i theaters that has been obtained by few American stars. There la something quits different in "The Sunny Side of Broadway," which will open at the Krug thla afternoon and run for the entire week, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The Krug man agement looked around for a real classy convention week show and succeeded In booking this attraction, which is replete with song hits, up-to-date comedy and a bevy of pretty girla. The Hebrew is played by Max Bloom, who waa with "The Mayor of Tukto" last season. Mr. Bloom Is 'a character actor of established reputation. He makes people laugh, and that Is bis mlxslon. His role in this Instance is that of Abey Tlred heimer, a Hebrew with a trick horse to sell. Miss Caroline Ryan enacts the role of Flossie, the sweet young thing who is mucli In evidence.
