-THE OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER in, 1D0D. B AMrSEMKUTt, AMl'JEMEITH. AMfJIMEHTJ. LEGAL NOTICE. Busy Eagle's Week at the MAfTA th"ter avf over their time to the lighter form of amusement during the week, the object being to proxlde en tertainment fur the visitors who came to the city an the O wings of the Eagle. If these latter were rot no many as hail ben oiVe& for It was not the fault of tne theaters And even as It u, the ho'iM nil had fair ' patronage, and no complilnt I heard from the manasra to the outcome.. The Bur wood began Ita season under ') h con- ditlons aa presage sucoess. tunflny even ing the storm came just at the nsychi- , logical moment to prevent a turnout, and Monday venlng the name can kept at- ' tendance down, but after t':at "The a':y Ppot" prospered. At Vie Boyd our old frlenda of "The Honeymoon Trail" were I riven rordlal welcome, while nt the Knu "The Punny Side of Broa1cnV" was sought by o many folks that Ita management may well feel puffed u, over the populni'iy of the how. The "rp vi.n 'turned 'em awny" fourteen tlmoa, aa usual. The two a-day thing I established her now, and the old-time "Hlrk" etory nho-Jt Omaha being rood for only th-ee matlnv perfjim anrra haa Inat Ita hmlficvica. The only rtpple on the surfare during the week waa the story put nut bv John W. Consadlne of Seattle that the firm of Sullivan Conaadlne would bave Ita own theater here Inside of a year and a halt. As this firm has Juat sold a theater here, nd aa Tim Sullivan, the other end of the firm, who hails from the Bowery, ex pressed surprise laat spring that he ac tually owned a piece of property In Omaha nd demanded that his Kasjle friends ahow him, Mr. Consadlne's statement sounds very murh like a Jolly. It would he renl nice If the firm were to build one mora theater here. 80 would It be nice If the Morris people would make rood on their talk, but the week and a half tint Mr. flerley wanted to elapse before he picked the site for the Morrla theater has rrown Into several weeks, and at present the only new theater that la going up Is the Brandels. Omaha has enough theaters, or will have when the Brandele Is done, and It isn't likely that any more will be built Inside of the year and a half Mr. Con ldlne allow himself. A friend of this department, who ks a tudent of the drama and Is Interested In all that pertains to tho theater, writes of the late Clyde Fitch: "The paaalng of Clyde Filch removes a figure from the theatrical world that has wlthatood both praise and censure for a good many years. There has always been much of truth In the intellectuallat critics who have condemned Mr. Fitch's lack of ubatance, but there la much to Bay for Ms craftamanahtp and the peculiar real lam of which he waa master. "Ha may not have been the Inventor of his method, but he was certainly the most xpert modern exponent of it. "Realism, or naturalism, or whatever It might be called, means In a great many cases mere sordldness or morbidity. In his case one hesitates to use such a term because the quality to be dwcrlbed waa extremely wholesome and sound. He waa a realist becauaa he spent hla talent In making hla plays eeem as near like actual life aa posalble in the mechanical details. It was not a question of stage carpentry exactly, but rather of atmosphere. "Clyde Fitch's plays were often the tnln Tieet threads of thought, but they never failed to have a wealth of little Inconse quential Incidents that brought smiles of recognition and applause from his audi ences. This rather elusive quality Is Illus trated exactly In the passage In the last act of 'Truth,' In which It la Insisted that the heroine must have an 'orange on a plate' If ahe la to look really sick. An orange on a plate had absolutely nothing to do with the play, it waa not necessarily a part of the life of the people described, It waa Juat a trifle that made everybody mile and aay, 'How true to life that Is.' "An audience filing out of a theater after hearing a Fitch play always talks about a lot of little things that have been said or dune on the stage. They are things that catch and hold attention for a moment because of their amusing and delightful familiarity. "It Is Just this sort of pleasing detail that has brought against Fitch a torrent of criticism for his 'thlnnes,' 'lack of Imag ination', hla 'dearth of things to say.' Most of the orltlolam waa quite reasonable nd Juatly severe, hut at the same time the work that Mr. Fitch did In this way has been definitely Impressed upon the Ameri can stage and it shows Itself in every American comedy written sine Fitch be gan. George Ade with all of his origin ality and cleverness Is a disciple of Fitch In his best comedies. In 'Mary Jane's Pa' that was at the Boyd last week, the laugh able party that waa given In th'e last act when the guests sang 'On the Banks of the Wabash', etc., reminded one of Ade and his middle west life, but more fund amentally It waa a trace of the Fitch style. "But It was not this mere expert crafts manship that made his plays successful. On a mere excuse for a plot he could build up a series of happenings that seemed for some hidden skill to hold an audience which could see through all the fllmainess of the dramatic structure. II was cer tainly not without a keen native wit. What could be more generously and yet aharply funny than the remark of Mrs. Perkins in The Girl With the Ureen Eyea,' when ahe sees the Apollo Belvldere? 'Yea, It's all right, but give me Perkins.' "He did nothing to make the American drama great perhaps, but he did a great deal toward making American playwrights accurate and skillful In the little things that give the color of reality." ' Th New Tork Telegraph tells this story of how Clyde Fitch got In touch with Charles Frohman: To the struggling young dramatist who believes that the world Is cold and the atrical managers brutal, a Btudv of the career of the late Clyde Fitch must prove stimulating. His foothold was nut obtained without many a slip and many a bruised Aphorisms by TOKE a man aa you do the furnace and you'll get the power; that's my motto." "The leaders of the labor world come to the top like corks and you can't keep them down." "Many a good man la spoiled by too much pay. The man who works for money isn't worth having." "Th short cut for the newcomer to social distinction la notoriety; social success Is founded on notoriety." "It doesn't matter to me what girl you marry, so long as she's honest." shin, and only a trick fiorn of desperation ever rained him an audience with Charles Frohman. While Fitch after the production of "Beau Brummel" was fairly successful, he had nt been able to place n manuscript with Ffohmen. in fact, tTy as he would, he never could rain Krohmsn's ear. Playa from his pen had ben produced at t lie Boston Museum, but Fitch waa not satis fled. One day he bribed Frohman's office boy to lay a manuscript on hla employers desk. It bore on Ita pale blue cover onlv the title and "By Clyde Fitch." There waa no address and no other mark of Identifi cation. It happened that a bllifard struck town on the day Frohman discovered the type written manuscript, and he decided to leave hla office early. He took the play with him for lack of more promising liter ature. It happened also that the current play at the Empire theater then the home of the most celebrated stock company in America waa a failure. Frohman read the Fltrh manuscript, and before nightfall had Issued an order to call a rehearsal of his stock company the fol lowing morning. Overnight he arranged to have the parte of the new piece type written and distributed, and at 10 o'clock New York's Endowed Theater Temple Dedicated to the Serious Uses of the Drama Will Be Opened to the Public in November with a Notable Company of Playeri and a Series of Especially Selected Playi. EW YORK'S new theaier, built N by subscription, will be opened early In November. This ac count of Its purposes, Its man agement, ita company and Its plays Is furnished by Its press representative and may be accepted as authoritative: Tho new theater, founded by representa tive citizens of New York, which Is now Hearing completion at Central Park West and Klxty-second street, will open Ita first season Monday night, November 8, with Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra." During the first six weeks of a season of about thirty the repertoire will, In addi tion to "Antony and Cleopatra," consist of "The Cottage In the Air," by Edward Knobloch; "The Nigger," by Edward Shel don; "Strife," by John Galsworthy, and Sheridan's "School for Scandal," The pre sentations will be made by the New Theater company, a strictly stock organ ization, the members of which have been recruited with great care, and In whloh no player will be "featured" or "starred." While It la fully realized that the leading parts will always require Interpreters of special eminence, the particular aim of the theater will be, by careful attention to minor roles and all details of stage man agement and presentation, to. Insure pro ductions of uniform, artlstlo excellence. The company, when fully organized, wlU comprise about forty players. Those al ready assigned to appear In the playa an nounced Include Mr. Edward II. Sothern, Mr. Charles Cartwright, Mr. A. E. Anson, Mr. Albert Pruning, Mr. Ferdinand Gott schalk, Mr. Henry Stanford, Mr. Benjamin Johnson, Mr. Roland Buckatone, Mr. Will iam McVay, Mr. Charles Balaar, Mr. Jacob Wendell, Jr.; Mr, Pedro de Cordoba, Master John Tanaey, Miss Julia Marlowe, Miss Rose Coghlan, Miss Olive Wyndham, Miss Jessie Busley, Mrs. Sol Smith, Miss Beat rice Forbes-Robertson, Miss Beverly Sit. greavea, Mtas Thais Lawton, Miss Leah Bateman-Hunter and Miss Vlda J Sutton. Mr. Louis Calvert, who was brought from London to produce the standard dramas, la an actor of great ability as well as a stage director of long experience, and will appear in several important roles. Of equal eminence In. their respective fields are Mr. George Foster Piatt, producer of modern dramus; Messrs. Wilfred North and Fred erick Ktanhope, assistant producers; Mr. Elliott Schenck, musical director, and Ed ward Hamilton Bell, art director. As is Already known, the directorate of the play hoube comprises Mr. Wlnthrop Ames, direc tor; Mr. Lee Shubert, manager, and Mr. John Corbln, literary manager. The acting manager is Mr. Edward K. Lyons; the house treasurer, Mr. Jed F. Shaw. Although the theater will be devoted to the presentation of dramas musical come dies, spectacles and the like having no place In Its repertoire light opera will be given twenty evening and twenty matinee per formances during the winter. Announce ment concerning this departure will be made by Mr. Andreas Dlppel of the Metro politan opera house, under whose direction the operas will be presented by members of tha Metropolitan company. The idea that the New theater's repertoire is to con sist mainly of standard, or so-culled "class ical" works, and that the Inst'ltutlon is in tended primarily for the amusement of a small, social set, or that Its plays are to be mainly "advanced." "faddish," and "literary," 1s not founded upon fact. The theater will make Its appeal, and depend for Its success, upon the whole body of in telligent playgoers. In truth, it Is hoped to make this Institution as distinctly demo cratic and civic as is the Comedle Fran raise. This statement Is borne out by the fact that but one-third of the reper toire consists of so-called "standard" or "classic" works, while the rest comprises brisk, wholesome, comedies and popular plays. In making the selections Director Ames has striven to keep abreast of all worthy dramatic movements at home and abroad, as It is the belief of the directorate that the cardinal function of the drama la to entertain. In other words. The New theater is not to be made a school for the select few, wherein a dull or tedious play of merit will be kept upon the stage for the purpose of Instructing Its patrons, but a playhouse for the public at large. The standard works to be presented have been drawn from a field so extensive that a suitable selection was not difficult and they as well as modem plays will continue In the repertoire only for as Ion or short periods as their worth and popularity war rant. This In the only system under which the run of a play favored by the patrons can be continued without postponing the production of a drama which may appeal to a smaller number of playgoers. In "Antony and Cleopatra," chosen as the Initial offering, a new version specially prepared for The New theater will be em- John Ganton "No man can afford to change his ' mind. It's cheaper In the end to go wrong once In a while than get In the habit of thinking what's best to do." "If you didn't stop to think, Brown ing, you would be one of the greatest traders In Chicago; to get to the top of the world a man must think and act simultaneously." "If you want to work for Ganton and Company, take off you coat; if you want to work for wage, go elsewhere." "The clever woman la the one who manages to acquire a Urge amount of doubtful reputation at a very small ex penditure of virtue." Playhouses the following day the play waa In rehear sal. Meanwhile he had been unable to locate Fitch. It was three days later that Fitch timidly presented himself at Frohman's office. He called to ee the office boy, and not the moster. 'Did you carry out my Instructions?" he asked the boy. "Tea, air," replied the latter. "Did Mr. Fmhman read the plav?" "I don't know," replied the boy, "but he said he wanted to see you." Fitch hung around until Prohman ar rived. When ushered across the threshold Of the private office he began as follows: "1 know you're a busv man. Mr. Froh man, but I wish you'd read that play of mine. If you haven't the time, won't you have your play reader look It over?" "I have read It," replied Frohman. "W-w-weil, wh-h-hat's become of It?" stammered Fitch. "It's In rehearsal." said Frohman. ."I've been waiting to see you to make the neces sary contract." That piece waa "Bohemian." It touched the popular pulse and ran for nearly ISO rlEhts at the F.mplre. In the cast were Henry Miller, Viola Allen. W. H. Thomp son, William Knversham, Orrln Johnson and Ida Conquest all or Whom, by the way, subsequently became stars. ployed. Furthermore, the dramaa, so far as the mounting Is concerned, will be somewhat different from the ordinary Shakespearian setting. That the scenic In vestiture has been designed by Jules Ouerln, the noted artist, and the costumes by Mr. Bell, guarantees a produotlqn artlstlo and historically accurate. The drama, as la well known. Is one of Shakespeare's great est, but the work has seldom been per formed owing to the Immense strength of the company required to enact It. Mr. Sothern will Interpret th part of Antony and Miss Marlowe that of Cleopatra. Oth ers to enact Important role are Messrs. Brunlng, Anson, Gottschalk, Buckstone, Stanford, Wendell, Balsar, Johnson, North, Mellck and Cordoba, and Mmes. Forbee Robertson, Busley and Bateman-Hunter. Mr. Edward Knobloch'a "The Cottars In the Air," the first new plajr of the season, will, according to th present plan, be produced four days later, on Thursday night, November It This la a fantastic comedy of rather delicate texture, and Is based on a story by the author of "Elisa beth and Her German Garden." Th pre sentation will serve to Introduce several members of th company who did not ap pear In "Antony and Cleopatra." They are Mlas Wyndham, Mr. Cartw'rlght. Miss Coghlan, Mrs. Sol Smith and Miss Slt greaves. Other In the cast will be Messrs. Balaar, Gottschalk. Stanford, Johnson and Ncrth, "The Nigger," one of the next dramaa due for production, la distinctly American In theme. Mr. Edward Sheldon, It au thor. Is th writer of "Salvation Nell," in which Mrs. Flsk won suocess. He ha laid his scenes In an undetermined part of the south of today and dealt with a novel and unusual aid of th negro question. The drama is of the strong, emotional type, and la regarded, aa possessing ex ceptional literary and acting merit The cast will lnolude Messrs. Sothern, Cart wright, Johnson, Osbourne and Mellck, and Mmes. Marlowe. Sltgreave and Sol Smith. "Strife," another of th new playa, will afford Mr. Calvert hla flrt opportunity to appear here aa an actor. "Strife" wa the most noteworthy drama of London's Inst season, and added materially to the prestige of Mr. John Galsworthy, its au thor, whose recent effort have met with marked success In England. Th story deals In new fashion with th perpetual struggle between capital and labor and carries with It a striking lesson. The cast will Include besides Mr. Calvert, Messrs. Cartwright, Anaon, Gottachalk, Stanford, Johnson, McVay, Balsar and Wendell, and Mmes. Sol Smith, Lawton, Forbes-Robertson and Sltgreavea.

Thereupon come th Inevit able clash between th father and th son, and the son la thrown "neck and crop," as John Ganton puta it, out of th firm. A love affair Involving Uila young man and Mlas May Keating, whose father has been driven to aulclde by the oppression of John (Janton, forma the major theme of the story. The young man's affection for this young woman has much to do with tho rupture betweeu father and son. and In an attempt to reinstate her lover In John Gan ton'a favor, the young woman beards the old man In his den at the Union Stock Yards, and attempts, in a spirited inter view, to Impress upon him his unfatheily course. During this interview Miss Keating learns from the lips of John Ganton that It waa he who sent her father to his death. Aa the play moves along, John Ganton is beset by a disease which manifests alarm ing symptoms.' A consultation of doctors results in preparation for an operation. Preliminary to this the old man, facing death as he believes, calls his son to him and effects a reconciliation. Miss Keating is likewise brought to the bedchamber of the great financier, and his consent to thi marriage is given. The last scene shows the rugged old man scorning assistance a he totters from the room to an ante chamber where the surgeons await him.

His mellow and unusually amua ing methods are laughter-compelling and the manner In which he renders a song gives to it a world of meaning and humor. He has an artful talent seldom found In a broad, low comedian of humor and force, which at times he changes Into a senti mental vein of pathos. "The Blind Organist," opening at the Krug theater this afternoon and running to Wednesday evening, with Wednesday matinee, is a etory of a rejected suitor try ing to break into the domestic happiness of his successful rival. The play has been referred to as a pastoral drama, some thing after the order of the "Home Folks." The play shows in a human Interest man ner with what sacrednesa a wife may be regarded by her husband and how a good woman may be much misunderstood even by those who know her best. During the play Miss Hazel Arlington sings "Ave Maria" In a sweet way. A quartet adds to the pleasure of the occasion. St. Patrick's cathedral and the burning organ loft are two effective scenes.
