TIIK OMAHA SUNDAY ItEK: KOVKMIIKR 21, 1P(!. 0 4 Gossip About Plays, Players and Playhouses George Arliss Actor Seenllere in Mri. Fisk's Manhattan Company Will Open in ' Septimus" Tomorrow Night at New York Something About William J. Locke and the Flays that Have Seen Made from His Novels. Ni: of the most IntTf'iting and, it is to be hoped, most success ful tifw plays of this Hi-ason will have its first production In this country tomorrow night at the Ilarkett theater in New O York, iloorpe Arliss Is thru to appear In the title role of ".'' ptlinun." a Ply made from the novel by William J. Locke. The play had Its real premiere a few days aru l-i Montreal and was extremely successful iherc. Mr. Arliss is well known to Omaha as r member of Mrs. Flake's Manhattan com pany and he Is recognized the country over as one of the best actors on the stase ;oday. Ho has long been playing charac ters whose manners were better than their inorar, and In "Septimus" he is due for a little moral regeneration. Long ago he was Cayley Drummlc, when Mrs. Patrick '.'ampbell was playing Paula Tanqueray, and since then ho has a long line of roues to his credit. Ni table as his performance fit the master cynic of t!iem all In Molnar's Satanic play and In which Mr. ArllHS first became) a star, yet II Is doubtful If he did more finished work In "The Ievil" than as the dmsipaled youth in "I.eali Klesciiiia," In which he was last seen in this part of the world. Mr. Arliss is an Kuglishman, one of the many finished cton who have come, ncross tho water and gained fame and wealth here. Tho play In which he Is to appear will be of Interest because, as those who have load "Septimus" are well aware, there are not only some dramatic situations in i lie book, but some iilte unusual charac ters, and, most unusual of all, the title i ole, It Is to be hoped that a better play has been made from this novel than was done from "The Morals of Marcus Oideyne," the play Itself being called simply "The Morals of Marcus." The novel was recognized by the discriminating as one1 of the best In recent years, though, perhaps, not quite up to the same high mark as "The lleloved Vagabond." But the play In which Marie Doro starred was a said affair. Whatever was least worth while In the novel was retained and the original left out. The saddest thing was what was done to the character of Judith. In the book she was nn original woman, drawn with amazing skill; on the stage, the most conventional type possi ble, and the fact that H was poorly acted did not help matters. ' One of Locke's early novels, "Idols," written In a more melodramatic vein than Ms later works, but a story of astonish ing power nevertheless, has been recently put on the stage or at least a part of It has. There was enough material In the lory for three or four plays. Mr. Locke praise be! shows no signs of writing himself out and his new story, "Simon, the Jester," now running serially In a magazine, gives promise In the open ing chapters of being as remarkable a creation as any ho has achieved. A player not long ago In Omaha, and rather more Intelligent and better educated than most of his brethren, remarked to a friend: "I prefer to associate when off the stage with other people than actors, because as a rule one cannot learn any thing from actors. Too many of us, for Instance, never read anything In a news paper except tho dramatic reviews, and with this result only: It the reviewer says they are bad, they don't believe him; and If he says they are good, It Is something they fully realized before." The remark Is quoted not to slur players, but to Illustrate a condition which obtains not exclusively among actors, assuming for argument's sake that It does exist with them. Your theater manager Is occasionally akin. If a current attraction Is praised he thinks rather well of the review which ays so, and he Is never then heard to talk of "ona man'a" opinion. When the contrary Is the case the manager Is more likely to l heard urging play-goers to "make up their own mind." The condition is not an extraordinary one and always will exist. Were Charles Lamb, Ilaslltt, Leasing or Saint Ueuve to return to earth and their new readers were to know how authoritatively they spoke and wrote, those who did not agree with thorn In a particular Judgment would be likely to say that It was Leasing or Salnte lleuve or Hazllett who was wrong. Fur with all of us there Is an element of pride and vanity Involved. Wo like this or that, and we say so. Comes someone tlse and asserts, "You are wrong. Ho and 8u Is a very poor actor," or "Such and Such Is a faulty play," and though he ad duce reason after reason and pile dramatic Pellon upon theatric Ossa, we are tena cious of our own view and loath to admit wo an wrong. If one can In turn give reasons for his own Judgment his attitude Is, of course, more Justifiable, but the usual recourse Is to the statement. "I do not know much about plays, but I know what I like." This Is, of course, to be delivered em phatically, with an air of finality and sometimes It ends the debate. Ths opuiient has the privilege, neverthe less, of pointing out that one who did not know what ho liked or disliked would be lit a very bad way, a candidate for treat ment by the alienist. Since the knowing what one likes Is a universal state of niln.1 among tho mentally normal, It Is not a particularly cogent and conclusive argu ment as to the merits of a given play or player. What the statement sometimes means Is this: "I enjoyed It and I do not want any one to tell mo that I enjoyed something i which ought not to be enjoyed. You re- fleet o(k my ability to Judge things and ling my pride." In tho vaudeville world there Is as much fruitless gossip about changes and combi nations as there Is in tho dull winter time of trades of and changes among tho ball players. Mr. Deck Is to invade the east, lie Is not. He is to form an alliance with William Morris. Ho will do no such thing. Percy Williams and the Keiths are to make a foray upon Chics) and have a theater there. They will not leave, the east. For every rumor there Is a prompt donlal and so far as actual news U con corned the mountains are again In travail and a mouse Is once more born. What has happened, and which tram to have been tho occasion of all the talk, U that Martin Beck had an Interost in a new theater which will bo aroctod In Now York City and in which ho at one time thought of making an Orpheum music hajl. This he gave up and it will bo operated by the Cohan oV Harris company, with Mr. Beck retaining some stock In tho venture, which will not bo a vaudeville theater. So much for tho Invasion of the east and the In vasion of tho west about which so much has boon written and disseminated, not by Beck, but In various theatrical papers. A f mia ha except for one play had a little layoff In things dramatic last week. Per in New Play haps It was as well. Mrs. Carter, Hen rietta Croesman, Cohan and the "Third Pegree" followed one another In rapid suc cession and tf they did not satiate play goers' appetites they did deplete the pock ets of some. The exception referred to was Liuetin Fainum and his admirable company. Most playgoers enjoy McKce Rankin as they enjoyi d few character actors seen locally and Miss Buckley made quite successful appeal. There was general admiration also of the star. MM'AI. l-I.AV HI 1. 1. I OHIU WEEK Attrarllona and Mayers Which Will He Seen at Omaha Theaters, .hiles Muny's newest dramatic production, "Via Wireless." which has Just finished a six months' successful run In New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, comes to the Boyd tonight and Monday, "Via Wireless." was originally produced at the New National theater. Washington, with the then president, Theodore Roose velt, and his family Interested auditors. Its engagement at the Liberty theater, New York, met success similar to those offer ings of the same producer. "Brewster's Millions" and "Polly of the Circus," each of which had a long run which are still two of the most successful dramatic pieces on the American boards. "Via Wireless," Is remarkable for two great scenes, each is novel and dramatic In the extreme. In the second act the action takes place in the business office of a Pittsburg steel plant. The other Is per haps that most talked of scene, from which the play takes Its name and repre sents a Porto Rican liner In the act of rescuing by means of wireless telegraphy the crew and passengers of a yacht which is going to pieces In a storm at night on a reef thirty miles away. It is one of the coincidences that comes to light in dra matic as well as other fields of endeavor, that this scene was written and staged In the summer of 10S, when It was purely a work of imagination, but that It was duplicated In real life several months after when the Italian llner "Florida" ran Into and sank the White Star liner "Republic." The Boyd will offer a genuine comedy Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with matinees Wednesduy and Thursday, when "A Gentleman From Mississippi" will be shown for the first time In this city. Messrs. Brady & Grismer are sending a cast made up entirely of players who took part In the long run of the play In New York, Including James Lackaye, Osborne Searle, Hal De Forrest, H. Bratton Ken nedy. Miss Virginia Pearson, Miss Olive Harper, Miss Mlnnette Barrett, Miss Lulu Konort and Miss Adelaide Wise. The lilt of the play was not confined to that community, however, for . It has been through a run of twenty-two weeks In Chicago. . . "A Gentleman From Mississippi" is genu ine comedy. There is not a lino In its four acts that is not in tho spirit of true comedy, by which Is meant play that truly reflects life without touching more than lightly upon tragic aspects. In this play the characters of Carolina Langdon, Senator Laiigdon's lovely elder daughter, and Charles Norton, a member of the house of representatives, are shown as hearing the burden of a wrong they seek to do tho fair name of. the girl's flne mlnded father. They think they can en i T r t IIIS in ail rxrtllHiit Itkentsg of MUs Elisabeth Goodall, who is blng featured as "The Nurse" in "Tho Time. The Place and The Olrl," which will be the Thanksgiving offering at tho T Krug theater. Miss Goods 11 in in reality a nurse, having graduated from the Cook County tk-hool for Nurses in Chicago. No doubt a great many physicians and nursea in Omaha win rex-all this young lady, as she look a great portion of her training al tho Cluiksun hospital before she moved to Chltago. This boautlful girl oatablUhad a nama for herself, not alone through her brightness and determination, but fur tho wonderful work she did in connection with the apparent hopeless case of Mrs. Burn ham Key, who was suffering from typhoid complications. Mrs. Roy was a bride of threo weeks and, with her husband, was ou her wsy Ij Mexico when she was takes , Trained Nurse Takes Part on Stage rich themselves at tho expense of the na tion If they can show him to bo mixed up In the deal that Is to have such rich fruit. But tho father has taken Into his service a young newspaper man, alert as a deer and smart as a man can well be; and this Rpry youngster, his Interest whetted by his love for tho new senator's daughter, shows all concerned the way out of dark ness Into which a few minutes of deceit has plunged them. The play was written by Harrison Rhodes and Thomas A. Wise, respectively,, nov elist and actor. Augustus Pltou offers as an attraction at the Boyd Friday night and Saturday matinee and night. Chauncey Olcott is his successful play, "Ragged Robin," a ro mance of Ireland In the early part of the last century. The play has been wonder fully suuccessful throughout the country. It Is a tale of a wandering minstrel, the son of a titled land owner, who has been driven from home by the false accusation of a crime. "Hfcgged Robin" has been given a splendid production in the way of costumes one scenic effects and there Is an excellent cast. Mr. Olcott has a group of new and catchy songs and there Is some beautiful Incldentlal music composed by Frederick Knight Logan. The play Is from the pen of Rlda Johnson Toung In colla boration with Rita Olcott. Play-goers who enjoy exquisite pictorial effects and gorgeous ensemble features will welcome "the announcement that the "The Girl In the Grandstand," a play with music and girls will be the offering at the Bur wood all this week, beginning tomorrow with Wednesday , and Saturday matinees, and a special Thanksgiving matinee. "The Girl In the Grandstand," was writ ten by David M. Wolff, who furnished the book, and Arthur B. Weinberg, who sup plied the lyrics and music. Among the numbers which are best liked and which are of the kind that will be long whistled, are "When a Fellow's Twenty-one," "Take a Trip In a Two-Penny Tube," "Dream On," "My Pal of the Grand Canal," "You're the Only One I'm Think ing Of," "We're Suited to a 'T, That's What They All Say," "Meet Me Girlie," "Sister May," "Honey Babe" and "Hit It Up For, Wellington." The story told involves a cinder path race with the vlllian played by Sidney K. Powell, member of a prominent Omaha family, wishing to throw the race for the sake of money. The De Vault Yiddish Opera company will present "The Jewess" this afternoon and "The Daughter of Jerusalem" at the Burwood this evening. The performances will be given entirely In the Yiddish language. The offering will be novelty all the way through. The operas are new, the solists are new to Omaha and the language for grand opera Is now here too. The company numbers some vocalists of the first rank and is said to be excep tionally strong in the ensemble numbers. An early booking of note at the Burwood Is Eddie Fay and his big musical comedy, "Mr. Hamlet of Broadway." The engage ment is announced for next Sunday, Mon day end Tuesday. For the last month Foy has been playing to immense houses in the big cities of the far westv His success with the piece during its Nev--Ycrk run was remarkable. "The Time, the Place and the Girl," to ba seen at the Krug Thursday for three days is a musical comedy of heart interest, with a plot of strong dramatic scenes, which are yet full of fun, laugh provoking dialogue and humor ous complications, all set to music, and with Its acting possibilities enhanced by half a dozen t nlque but thoroughly life like characterizations. There is the philoso phical young sport, with a mind of wisdom expressed in clean and down-to-date slang; It-.: i 111 on tiie train and had to t removed to the Clarkson hospital. Miss Goodall was assigned to the case which was so puzsling that it baffled the ihyhians to tho extent that they held numerous con sultations. Many of the out-of-town phy sicians made special visits to the hoopllal to try and learn something of the puxsllng case. Tho physicians had almost decided that her case was hopeless, but Miss Goodall had taken a personal interest in the patient and day after day she stayed at her bedside, working almost every min ute and just snatching a few moments sloop whsn she could. Her determined efforts was not fruitless for tho patient did recover. It was while this clever girl was attending Martin Beck at a hospital in Chicago that she became interested in tho theatrical profession, and It was he who booked her in a skofc h over tho vaude ville circuit aud she made good. Is New Theater Too Large? Danger Which John Corbin Hinted at Before He Became Literary Adviser of Institution, Recognized to Some Extent in Presentation of "The Cottage in the Air," a Comedy. T THE New theater "Antony A and Cleopatra" wss followed by "The Cottage In the Air," a modern comedy by Edward Knoblauch. Its presentation seems on the whole to have been very successful. For one thing, the management of the theater had eliminated the faults In acoustics vlllch spoiled the pleasure of many at the first play in New York's newest theater. But, on the other hand, the grave danger which John Corbin himself hinted at before he became connected with the New theater bo came recognized. The New theater Is per haps too large for the successful Interpreta tion of a dainty comedy like Mr. Knob lauch's. The situation was succintly sum med up by William Archer when he said; "You can give tragedy lu a comedy theater, but you cannot give comedy In a tragedy theater." This is borne out by the following re marks on the second play at this theater from the Dramatic Mirror: The possibility of intimate interpretation for a play like Mr. Knoblauch's "Tho Cot tage In the Air" In the New theater is not yet established. The splendid advantages of the house for lavish spectacle, shown so admirably in the production of "Antony and Cleopatra," dwarf somewhat the dainty sentiment and narrow range of the first modern play to be mounted there. This Is the most serious adverse criticism, how ever, one may make of the presentation given to the Knoblauch comedy. . It was most generously mounted and, for the most part, beautifully acted. The play Is offered In a gorgeous setting. The scene In which the story first begins to unfold itself, that in the library of the the trained nurse, worldly wise but a gen tlewoman, the proud and petulant daugh ter of the rich, who Is tamed by -he "sport;" the Italian laborer, who pro vided the sentiment; the coal heaver, who Is "Just going to be married," and tiie clafy man-about-tewn, whose wild oats ore harvested as gamely as they are sown. Robert Pilken will be been in the leading role. There are twelve de'ightful songs, among them being "Thursday is My Jonah Day," "Dixie, I Love You," "Don't You Tell" and "The Waning Honeymoon," and fifty attractive chorus girls. Pretty little Beulah Poynter is coming back to the Krug theater for four nights, commencing Sunday, November 21, In her popular play, "Lena Rivers," taken from Mary J. Holmes' famous novel of the same name. It was adapted for the .stage by Miss Poynter herself. The flavor of the novel, known to everyone, has been care fully preserved, and the dramatic situa tions have been worked out with a practi cal and skillful hand. Miss Poynter, who has done much as a playwright, could not be expected to fall short of being a capa ble actress. She realizes every anticipa tion and meets every demand with the au thority of her undoubted art. In her hands "Lena Rivers' Is a delightful creation, a sort of Intermingling of breeze and sun shine, with an occasional passing shadow, like the ghost of a cloud. She Is equally effective In the roles calling for nalv comedy and those depending upon the sterner emotions. The cast is good through out. One of the dominant events of the vau deville season Is scheduled for this week at the Orpheum. Julius Steger is coming. Play patrons will recall that for throe seasons he was strikingly effective in "The Fifth Commandment," and now be returns to Omaha in a new playlet which is said to be even stronger In It heart appeal and delicacy of senti ment than the one in which ho gained such wide recognition as an artist. The new offering. "The Way of the Heart," Is a one-act musical drama adapted from the German, and In Its presentation Mr. Steger has five associate players, A pre tentious ensemble in six scenes will be of fered by Joseph Hart's "Bathing Girls." The act Is said to be one of the most elab orate ever presented In vaudeville. The feature Is made up of diverting musical specialties, richly staged and presented with unique lighting effects. The surf scene Is a striking novelty. Another item of striking beauty will be the statuesque posing of Rose Royal's fa mous Arabian horse, Chesterfield. Under her training the wonderful animal assumes various poses and remains so motionless that one might think him a statue carven from snowy marble. In her protean mono logue. Miss Laura Buckley presents three character studies of unusual artistry, net work has won for her an enviable repu tlon of versatility. The popular singing and dancing comedians, Charles Barry and Hulder HaJvers, will make their fourth visit to Omaha. Their act this year Is entirely new. Paul Nevlns and Ruby Er wood will Introduce their fast dancing routine and sprightly comedy feature, and Alferetta will give one of the most skill ful aerial acts that has been seen In Omaha. To round out this admirable entertain ment the kinodrome will project the new- 1 est motion pictures and the Orpheum con cert orchestra will offer several high clsss selections. Miss Helen Grantley, who appeared in Zangw Ill's sombre classic last year, "The Never, Never Lund," U playing this sea son in what Is described as a very cheer ful offering, "The Agitator." This Is from tho pen of Mrs. Bcrtnger. the gifted author of "A Bit of Old Chelsea." Miss Orantley presents the playlet by special arrangement with Mr. Charles Frohman, who originally Intended using It as a cur tain raiser. It is likely that she will appear kliere.

These beautiful lines were scribbled upon tho walls of Bristol parish church, which was erected In the year 1735, and now stands In Blanchford cemetery. The verses were said to have been written some forty years sgo and were signed "A Stranger." The old pariah house Is sur rounded by very old burial tablets In the castle of Lothen-Kunlts, and the exquisite picture in tho second aot of an English village, wholly Meredith in its charm and plcturesquenesa. are stage pictures of tho most admirable, tasteful and painstaking planning. Olive Wyndham is the little Princess Prls cllla who attempts to fly beyond ths nar row aerie In which fate has sot her, only to find that the world la "too much for her," and that she can still do good without tho necessity of becoming less a princess, but remaining still a human woman. She Is quite charming throughout Rose Cogh lan, with the delicious diction and ease of manner one may always expect of her and never ba disappointed, was Lady Shuttle worth. If there bo doubt still in the minds of any patrons of the New theater con cerning the alleged difficulties in the acous tic properties of the house, the ease and pleasure with which one may listen to Miss Coghlan from any part of the theater would seem to prove that any remaining archi tectural shortcomings may be overcome by the elocutionary art of the members of the New theater company. Albert Brunlng made a very lovable old Fritzing, a role not unlike that actor's part in "The Cli max." Ferdinand Gottschalk, capital light comedian though he be, hardly looked and acted the 20-year-old Sir Augustus. Louis Calvert was a sufficiently blustering Grand Duke. The most truly humorous characteri zation in the cast was Mrs. Sol Smith's old Mrs. Jones. Delightful old player that she is, Mrs. Smith invested the quaint old Eng lish small village pensioner with the most mirth-provoking weaknesses, and her tipsy scene In the living room of the little Cot tage In the Air was always funny and never for an Instant offensive. present beautifully laid out cemetery of Petersburg, Va. : Thou art crumbling to the dust, old pile!
