TTTT: OMAHA SnXDAY BEK: ATRTTJ 24. 1010. F - i - . . . . I The Hue For You Is Blue I Brady Breaks With the "Syndicate" W ILMAM A. PRAHV li th lt.-t manager to feci the Iniptilxe and seek advertisement by "brcaklns; with the syndicate." 11 announce hie piirpoe In the future to act In conjunction with the Hhubertii. and his a'Midated him self with them In the. formation of a com pany with a stock of II 0).(f). lonnod under tho law of NVw Jrrney. l'ronanly the mom IntrirKtltia feature of the an nouncement is tho naive statement by Mr. Brady that It Is hln purpose to eetaM.ali a large manufacturing plant In New York, the object of which aha I be to turn out al' thing essential to the production of a play. This opens a v.Mti ro attractive that one would fain linger by and enjoy Its beauties fur a time. Wo have had so much of the hand-tailored drama, presented by unfinished adorn, that the Itrady cuHtom msde output may be a welcome innova tion. It will be a change, at any rate. Juat how much, one may not exactly aay, for the foundation of Will am A. Brady'a theatrical Importance are la.d broad and deep In the common or Krdn variety of the "punkln" draiumer. It was " 'Way l'own Kaat" that landed fcim a wln"'r. and on the waves of teats rolled up by the various heroines who wept In rrxponse to the situations provldtd by Lottie HUlr Parker and Joseph Clrlsmer, Mr. Hrady'a ship sailed biavely over the bar, arid de posited its wealth of coined gold at the foot of F.asy street, up and down which ha has been proudly driving ever since. Mist Grace George waa something of an experiment with him at the beginning, and It waa uncertain for several seasons If stie were going to turn out an annul or a. lia bility. It proved eventually, per "Dlvot con," that she waa really an ascet, and sime that happy event Ir. Urady haa affected in public a least, a scorn for the bucolic, and has none In extensively for regular Art. In addition to Mhi George, who la Mrs. Brady, Robert Mantell, L,oul Mann, Otis Harlan and Wright I:rlmer sail under tho Brady banner, and will go with him to the Shubert fold. All of which makes olio wonilir why cer tain writers, especially luad-llno writers, persist In referring to the Kluw & Kr1aner combination as the "monopoly" and the Bhuhert aggregation as "the opuii door." If the, tales told by the Shuberts are to be believed, the Klaw A Krlanger monopoly nowadays looks something like the Ho Jeetvensky fleet a'tter our old friend Togo gave it a reception in the He a of Japan. It la ahot so full of bole that it resembles Harry Deuel'e skimmer. And as to the "open door," It opena Ilka the orators ustfd to aay of tha gates at Caatle Garden inward only. All over tha United States theaters stood idle last winter, because the Shuberts could not afford the attractions to fill them. In Omaha on house went from the Shubert fold to tha burlesque because of tha failure of tha Shuberts to provide the bookings they had promised. In Denver tha magnificent Auditorium was turned Into a municipal playhouse, at which the Shubert attractions were to be presented for the purpose of downing the Iniquitous trust, and during the short time this arrangement waa in vogue tha city lost so many thousand dollars that refer ar.ca is no longer made to It aa a shining Grace George's Husband and Manager Draws Attention by Joining Shuberts Small Interest of the Public in the Noisy War of Words Between the " Trust " and " Open Door " Forces Maude Adams, Jamie Uarrie and Us AMI SUMKVT. example of what a theater controlled by the public might do. In Spokane the Wi Ham Morris people very recently purchased a thcatrr that was partly constructed for the Shubcrtn. and will complete the build Ing, but for a Morris theatr. This much for the V'ix-n door;" week before last the announct-nvnl was made that Juliilx Ka.'.n had broken with Klaw & Erlangcr and the Frohinans, and had taken his string of New England theaters, more than S0O in number. Into the Shubert camp al one swoop. The small town theaters ot the west were drawn Into the "open door" maelstrom lam fall; this doesn't seem to leave much b'lt the flist-clans theaters In the larger cities for the alleged "trust." Years ago The Be in levertlng to this same topic, pointed out the obvious, that to succeed a theater must be prudently managed, the same as any other buaineaa, that even Art cannot exist without support, and this support can only be furnished by money. A reference to Mr. Kelly's Musi cal Department in this Issue will show the reader that the symphony orchestras of which great cities boast are supported by private subscription; grand opera la supported in Europe by princes. In America by millionaires; the state theaters of Eu rope have never paid, and the ?ew Theater In New Yoik has not so far proved self supporting. This state of facts makes the problem for the managers extremely sim ple; they must have for the theaters that which the public will pay to see, or they must close up. Now, the actors who can always be relied upon to fill a theater every night it Is opened, can be counted on the fingers of one hand; so that means that plays must be depended upon, and the taste of the public In plays is about aa re liable as that of buss In regard to bait, and you need not be an expert fisherman in order to understand this. Add Sunday Amusements wrBhYouHfi Mr. Brady's defection has not caused any appreciable perturbation among the "syndicate;" Tlia public announcement was made, "We have been trying to get rid of Brady for some time." Just how much of sincerity thers Is in this an nouncement the public will never know, but the fact remains both sides to the con troversy are acting in what they conceive to be their own Interests, and without re gard to the public, save on the one point that they wish to maintain their theaters on a basis that will draw patronage to tha extent of profit. Mr. Brady'a addi tional statement that he is going to es tablish tha largest theatrical manufactur ing plant In the world amounts to no more that his mere assertion, and the con troversy between the "trust" and the "open door" will wage aa furiously next season aa It has at any time. If It can be solved In such a way as will bring to tha theaters Passing Comment on Musical Matters Music Department of Woman's Club Has a Very Prosperous Year Under Able Leadership of Blanche Sorens on Benver People Get Very Direct Information on the Establishment and Support of Symphony Orchestra in tow its like Omaha a roH.soiiablc nuinlxM of high grade attractions the public will care very little hh h side lt on top. and certainly the cauce of art will not suffer more than It has already endured. Omaha folks had an opportunity during the week of paying their glad tribute to Miss Maude Adams. The occasional visits of this exponent of "sweetness and light" are always made notable by the outpouring of citizens eager to be amused and to give the star the meed of ap plause and dollars that Is hers. We do not waste time In efforts at analysis in dealing with Miss Adams, but accept her as she Is. and sum up the entire lint of her attractions In the single word o'f "personality. Within certain well defined limits Miss Adams has bren the most successful of modern actresses, ller capability Is well understood and her manager Is shrewd enough not to press her beyond the limit. The experiment he proposes for next seaaoilf "Vhcn "Ohante cler" will be produced In New York, with Miss Adams playing the part of the roos ter, is already discounted. The novelty of the production will be sufficient, per haps, to draw the multitudes, but it Is not expected that she will do anything to add to her historic record by means of the undertaking. The combination of Barrle and Adams has been an unusually successful one, and it ts no reflection on the actress to say that the author Is entitled to the larger share of the credit. Maude Adams' greatest suc cess was achieved as "Lady Babble," when Barrie's fame waa already made secure us author of "The Uttle Minister." No mod ern writer has confined himself to so nar row a field as has this genial Scotchman nor brought forth so abundantly from so unpromising a soil. Out of the narrow win dow In Thrums he has looked on a little comer of the world and brought to our no tice a succession of characters so novel and so human, that we have gladly expressed our delight in the support that has made Mr. Barrle one of the wealthiest among authors. It may be possible that a lKtle touch of personal satisfaction at the suc cess tie has achieved is reflected In one of John Shand's short speeches. Shand says there is nothing that can resist the on slaught of the educated Scotchman, and expresses some feeling of pity for the poor English who are placed at his mercy. One doesn't like to think of Mr. Barrle being In any wise conceited over his achievements, and yet this "Shandlsm" sounds peculiar. The man who gave us "The Little Minis ter," "Sentimental Tommy," "A Window In Thrums," "Tlllyloss Scandal," "My Lady Nicotine," "A Bachelor's Romance," "Qul Ity Street," "The Admirable Critchton," "Pe4er Pan" and "What Every Woman Knows," has . some reasonable occasion to feel conceited, if he Is so Inclined. THE OrsJIH QIC SPRING EVENT Tho Wise cmorial Hospital Bazaar TO BE HELD AT THE (rug Theater 1st MAY AY 14th TO AST Thursday the musical editor LI of The Bee had tha opportunity I of saying a few words to the musical aepttrunem 01 ins Women's club, and waa much Interested in the anthuslastlo body of musical people who were there to attend the laat meeting of the season. Under the capable leadership of Miss Blanoha Borenson, this department has passed through one of tha most successful and Instructive years In its history. Tha profession! people have lent their assis tance, not so much4n musical performance Is In the role of lecturers or expounders. For example, there was much said lost Thursday about the splendid time the peo ple had at the meeting previous, when Mr. Blgmund Landsberg gave very helpful and clear Ideas on the various higher forms of music. Another musician gave previously aa Illustrated address on "Fugue." Mem bers are admitted to these affairs free, having paid, however, a general fee for the season, a nominal price, $2 per an num, and 1t Is not necessary to belong to the Woman's club proper In order to be long to this department. The program Thursday was a very Inter esting one, Mrs. Wagoner being the star attraction and shining very brightly In deed In tha Orleg sonata opus 7, and In the second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt. Mies Oraoe Hontmel and Miss EdKh Collals contributed vocal solos which were en thusiastically received and Miss Other tniley, pupil of Mr. Henry Cox. played soma violin numbers with unusually good tone, being accompanied at tha piano by her teacher. Mrs. Wolcott and Mrs. H. G. Fox also assisted as accompanists. The department expressed Its apprecia tion of Miss Borenson'a leadership by pre senting her with a valuable gold souvenir and electing her once more to the position of leader. An out-of-town friend has sent me a copy of the lenver Post, which ts (as stated), "delivered anywhere on earth for 1$ cents a week." and in It there Is the sanest, most direct and most truthful ar ticle on the establishment of orchestras that has come before the eyes of the musi cal critic of The Bee for many moons. Denver is giving a festival, and the pur pose of the festival la said to be the foun dation of a permanent orchestra. Strangely enough. Omaha finds Itself in exactly the same position. So It should certainly be Interesting to read the following summing up of the aituatton. And, incidentally, It will serve to refresh you on the merits of our much valued Mr. Oberhoffer who, with the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, will be Omaha's gueat next month at the May festival. Here la the article in toto: Next week Penver is to have a musical festival. Next year, as the result of the festival, Henver a til have a s)mphouy orchestra, If - It was that "if" which brought Mr. Oscar Hatch Haw ley Into tne class ot In terviewed with something to say on the subject of orchestras, musicians, enthusi asm and leaders. Mr. Hawley, now associate editor of the Musical Courier, was once upon a time a 'cellist of devotion and distinction who found himself surrounded by a Urge famliy, much music and many problems that h-ap the path of existence and refuse to recoitnlae the arts as negotiable securi ties. Wherefore he hung his bow on a weeping wl.low tree, ran his long, delicste flnaors in farewell through tha hair of his dear friends In art, and became a practical man of affairs mundane. Mr. Hawley haa come to Denver to at tend the festival and report it for the paper: also to find out what plana and specifications have been made for the es tablishment of a permanent symphony or chestra. .... "I naturally thought." said Mr. Hawley, whose business is orchestras and players' et-eteras. "that some definite scheme had the orohestra could be pushed forward as soon as the final curtain has been rung down on the festival. "I find, however, that only the most nebulous ideas are floating about. Every one wants to do something but what? A symphony orchestra is something that must first of all huve a large guarantee fund that will carry for not lens than five years. This fund must be Inspired largely through the social element, after whioh tha organisation as an educative agent can be considered. "Without tha Interest of society and the rich men and women who fill Its ranks it is worse than folly to waste time con sidering the establishment of such a thing. "No symphony orchestra in existence pays for Itself or ever made a cent for anybody. "That of Minneapolis has 160 guarantors. St. Paul, 100. Cincinnati is secured by the promise of1 forty of its foremost citizens to write checks to meet the sure snd cer tain deficit. Philadelphia also has forty men willing to pay debts. Pittsburg found no trouble In Interesting fifty of Its mill ionaires In symphonic, music; the Seattle orchestra goes Its hllthe way bulwarked by fifteen guarantors, while the ft. Louis fund is assured by fifty citlsens, who realise that no agent of civil uplift is as effective as the music of Its orchestra. "Orchestras cost money to assemble and maintain. To, begin with. It Is necessary for the artistic success of an orchestra to secure a director with European education and prestige. Muslo.is In the bones of the people on the other aide and every or ganization that has forged to the front on this side has bean under the leadership of some man trained In the orchestras and opera houses of Europe. "Take, for instance, the case of Ober hoffer of Minneapolis. There is a man with executive as well as musiciauly trenliut. lie can not only inspire mem to to into their pockets, but he can Inspire them to turn their very heart's blood Into melody. Oberhoffer came to Minneapolis eighteen years ago. Seven years ago he Imagined the time was ripe to establish an orchestra to play the symphonies. The red-haired, dreamy-eyed musician first of all found out how the society people would take to such a venture and bv o. vloua ways Interested the leaders In his scheme. Then he went to several of the financial pillars of the cltv and one of them, Mr. Carpenter, lie filled with the coal of leadership. "Having- listened to the siren call of Oherhoffer's voice and story. Carpenter called atxut him a few millionaires and told them to be good. These assumed the responsibility of making out a list of citlsens who could not afford to be found absent from among the guarantors pres ent. Every man algned to meet any def icit and assure a permanent fund of at least per annum. "Aa a consequence Minneapolis has a marvelous orchestra and In seven years time its people are so educated In music, It Is said, that even the children would have been delighted with an entire even ing with the Klenxaley quartet. "But to reach this end, organization, sane, far-seeing organization, waa neces saryno aeroplanlng in this business!" Another bomb was exploded by Mr. Hawley against the hope of finding our musicians, home grown and ready for the orchestral harvest. "Tbls city hasn't fifteen musicians in It who are capable of playing In a sym phony orcheatra," asserted the speaker. "To be able to play In a symphony or chestra means that you are a musician far advanced on the road of music. "Minneapolis started with a great flour ish of trumpets to recruit local talent. Result when the gleaning was done, but nine men of the original orchestra had suiived the ordeal. The others were Imported and shown that it would be to their advantage to come and remain. A man never makes any money In music, but he must be promised a living. That is what Denver must do If It expects to take Its place with the art centers of the country.' Enthusiasm, such as is now lighting up the scenery and furnishing motive power for the festival managers. Is a superb thing, according to Mr. Hawley, but checks are better, much better, in se curing orchestras. To pain the latter through the former, Mr. Hawley who, be It remembered, has made art the hand maid of business suggeets the formation of a symphony orchestra club In which our best citizens will be recruited and put to a work guaranteeing more than their moral support. Then Import a leader of known achievement and talent. Then im port aa many musicians as will be neces sary. But first of all secure, as with rivets, the co-operation of society. With out society in the boxes the galleries will remain empty, for Julia O'Qrady goes, to the concert and sits up aloft for the purpose ot pointing out to Magpie O'Shlnn the diamonds on the chestline of the colonel's lady! The festival, therefore, Is to De Dut the starting point of real endeavor, since out of the chaos at present enveloping the minds and purposes of men must be brought a bit of solid earth on which the sympnonyltes may stand. Incidentally the music critic of The Omaha Bee bows profoundly to Frances Wayne of the Denver Post for the way In which she worked up the article. THOMAS J. KELLY. s , Musical ote.
