THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 20. 1910.
Late News

hearts of the follower of the
Woodward Stock company by
nor charming: personality, Is now holding
all the first friends ana made then by her

years of constant application ought to en

Teachers, Pupils and Public
Closing Dayi of the Recital Season See Them Coming Thick Why
The Bee's Music Editor Does Not Give These Amateur Performances
Special Notice in This Department Rights of Parties Most Concerned.'
HE closing daya of the season
0-r I are here: some or the techeis
I I have already departed for for
I I Allman mnA nthers Irl
paoklng up. Some will remain
here to take care of the musical
atmosphere, while the others are absent.
New tfnehera will be arriving for next sea
son. One vacancy at any rate In church
wcrk will be filled by an outsider. Pupils'
recitals are practically over, They have
been coming thick and fast In thete latter
days.
The Bee has a defined policy, as ha
been slated before In this place, with re
gard to pupiltt' recitals. The Bee does not
"give away" Us advertising space to any
one. However, to encourage the local
teachers and their students, The Bee de
clares and announces Itself very happy to
give free space for the announcement. In
advance, that the recital will take place,
giving the names of the participants and
the pieces they will play or sing, unless
the program la entirely too long.
Here The Bee has to draw the line. The
Bee does not wish Its musical critic to at
tend pupil's recitals, as muslo critic of
The Bee. The Bee does not believe that
the work of pupils Is a subject for news
paper criticism. As The Bee has not re
porters enough to go around to all the
pupils' recitals which occur during the
season, mercl to report the recital; and.
as each teacher thinks his or her own re
cital of paramount Importance, The Bee
has adoptnd this policy, regardless of Its
musical critic. The result Is that the music
critic has come In for censure and blamo
for not attending recitals of pupils which
have no doubt been highly commendable.
But such censure and blame are In reality
aspersions on The Bee.
The musloale given by several advanced
pupils of Mr. Landow last week before an
audience of the representative people of
Omaha at the Lyrlo was attended by this
writer, but merely as a guest. Here Is an
event which personally he would like to
have made comment upon, especially butl
of whom, more later on.
The fact of orchestral accompaniment
itself, would have made Mr. Landsberg's
recital by his pianoforte Btudents, a pro
gram which It would be a pleasure to pass
comment upon. It was certainly well
worthy.
Miss Bella Robinson, so rumor says, had
a pupil, Mr. Frank Moss, who gave a
most Interesting program, a week ago Fri
day night. As It was practically the last
"work" rehearsal of his choir for the sea
son, (the next few being given over to
other matters than church music), It was
Impossible for the writer to attend, even
as an interested listener. Miss Robinson
has shown much excellent work before
that of this last exponent.
Then Mr. Duffield's annual program pre
sented Interesting pupils In a recital which
frcm the ground of personal friendship
alone would have been an occasion for
paying a compliment to one who la an
actual associate In recital work.
But friend and unfriend alike, must be
equal before the law. There have been
other recitals also which the writer would
very much like to have attended, for In
stance, the recital of talented pupils of a
local pianist, pupils who are going abroad
to study. One of the most Important of
these fell on a rehearsal night, which pre
vented his attendance. He heard excellent
reports, however, of these promising young
proficients.
You see. gentle reader, The Bee demands
impartiality. One or all. Attend all and
review them, Or else attend none as a re
viewer. Do as you please as an individual
It might surprise the readers of thla
column to know that the writer has twice
this season asked to be relieved of the
work and dutiea of the musical editorship
of this column. He has been kindly but
firmly told that no matter who waa on
The Bee, that policy concerning pupils'
recitals must stand. Omaha la not a vil
lage. The Bee Is willing to do Its share,
but It cannot afford to pay a muslo crltlo
(competent enough to pass upon the muslo
1 ' which affects the city's welfare at large)
enough salary to make it worth his wlvle
to give up rehearsals, engagements, les
sons, etc., to "write up" the doings of the
many, many pupils of the ever-growing
list of teachera of Omaha.
After all, the "pupils recital" Is purely
and simply advertising. If It were any
thing else It would' not ask nor desire pub
lic comment.' The village Idea of "seeing
your name In the paper" does not belong
to the city, nor to city growth.
The recital which Is given before the
friends of the pupil, so that the pupil may
grow accustomed to an audience, la a most
excellent thing. These should be given by
every teacher, from Urn to time.
But teacher should not take to them
selves the credit of work which had been
done by others, years of it perhaps, and
that Is the danger of the business side of
1 the pupils' recital gaining ascendancy.
With no apology nor explanation, the
writer will reprint her something which
he wrote a couple of years ago about
pupils' recitals, In an article which waa
reprinted and given promlent place, too, in
the Chicago Musical Leader and Concert
Uoer; "It might be an excellent idea to print,
on the program, the time of study one had
spent with the teaoher who glvea the re
cital. For example, Mist Marie Light
finger (third year): Mlsa Jane Merry voice
(second year): Mr. Al Legro (first year):
J1m Ann Dante (second month): Miss Ada
Gio (third week).
"Thla would be a fair and honest way to
compile a pupils' recital program. Who
will be th first to adopt it?"
This Is no reflection on any local teacher;
would that tt were only a local fact. But
the trouble Is, that Jhe matter la of general
import, and that Is why the article In
question appealed to the Chicago paper

good actress. It Is a pleasure to record
this growth of a capable young woman,
for It la in a measure a Justification of
what was said of her when she was bid
ding Omaha farewell at the close of her
first season. If she continues In her
habits of Industrious application It seems
reasonably certain that sue will come to
a high rlace in the world of the theater.

"The Alaskan" Opens at the Brandeis with a Monday Matinee Mar
garet Anglin in "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie" the Feature of
the Week Jacob P. Adler Coming "Sham" to Be the Bill at Boyd's.
BRAND new revised edition of
"The AlaBkan" now made over
Into a genuine fun-making mu
sical melange will be the at
traction at The Brandeis Thea
ter on tomorrow matinee and
A
night and Tuesday nlghl. "The Alaskan"
comes to us now from a run of five months
In Chicago. The complete Chicago produc
tion Intact will be brought here. Richard
F. Carroll in the part of Walslngton Watts,
a Btranded theatrical manager, has a part
exactly suited to his peculiar talent. Gus
Welnburg as Prof. Knlcklebein Is promi
nent amongst the funmakers, and is given
ample opportunity to extract many laughs
with the aid of "his laughing powder."
Detmar Poppen will be welcomed as Totem
Pole Pete, while Al Rauh will show his
splendid voice to advantage as Richard Att-
water; Jessie .Stone as . Arlce Easton,
Alice Keen as Mrs. Good Better Best,
Etta Lockhart as Kuko, an Esqulmo child
of nature, also Nellie Templeton as La
Lu La, not forgetting Leo Kendall In the
character of "Snowball," the polar bear,
will all be welcomed. The large chorus of
Esquimaux girls and miners Is again a
strong factor in this season's production.
With a record of over one hundred nights
at the Savoy Theater in New York City,
and a tremendous hit at Powers Theater;
Chicago, Margaret Anglin will bring "The
Awakening of Helena Richie" to the Bran-
dels Theater, Thursday evening for an en
gagement of three nights and Saturday
matinee. The engagement has a twofold
Interest from the fact of the star's popu
larity and also that It Is a dramatization
of Margaret Deland'a widely read novel
of the same name. The play Is by Char
lotte Thompson, a young Calffomlan dram
atist, who has already several successful
playa to her credit. "The Awakening of
Helena Richie," which perhaps is Mrs. De
mand's most successful story of old Chester,
uses the people thereof as the background'
of a drama of quiet intensity with Helena
Richie and that splendid creation of her
Inventive genius, Dr. Lavendar, as the cen
tral figure. We must not, however, forget
the little lad, David Allison, who was the
unconscious and innocent means of restor
ing to Helena her sense of duty and who
supported her better resolution.
These three won for Mrs. T)eland a glor
ious fame throughout the length and
breadth of the land and beyond the seas.
In the role of Helena, Miss Anglin Is said
to be doing her best work of her career and
she is furthermore credited with an ad
mirable company of players In her support
The play is one of lights and shades and
there should be some capital character
studies. Charlotte Thompson has made the
play in tour acts, three of which are in
Helena's parlor and the second In her gar
den. Although the note of tragedy Is
sounded, there is much that Is of lighter
nature in the play, Miss Anglln's company
Includes Eugeno Ormonde, John R. Crau-
ford, who plays old Dr. Lavendar, Halbert
Brown, Walter Howe, Eugene Shakespeare,
Gertrude Swlggett, Sally Williams and
Raymond Hackett. There will be a matinee
on Saturday afternoon. Seats tomorrow
morning.
Omaha will have an opportunity of seeing
tne eminent Jewish tragedian, Jacob P.
Adler on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings. June T, S and I at The Bran
deis Theater. For this engagement Mr.
Adler has selected two of the best plays in
his repertoire. On Tuesday evening he will
present his latest and greatest success,
"God's Punishment," a modern drama,
which has had a run of almost a season
in the Academy of Music, New York. On
Wednesday evening will be given Jacob
Gordln a masterpiece, "The Stranger." This
play has been adapted from Lord Tenny
son'a "Enoch Arden." After the first
performance of "Gods Punishment" In
New York City, the dramatlo critics her
alded Mr. Adler as the greatest interpreter
of the drama today. On of the papers re
marked "Although th performance of
'God' a Punishment' was In Yiddish, and
there were hundreds of people in th au
dience who had no conception of the lan
guage. Mr. Adler's portrayal was so real
istic and so distinct and his every word and
gesture so true to life, that th lints wr
clearly comprehended by every person in
the audience." For the coming engagament,
Mr. Adler, Messrs. Tornberg, Glnsburg,
Shoengold. Hochstlne. Carr and Mann;
Misses Silbert, Keasler, Barnett, Jacobl,
and the entir original cast, the same that
played so successfully In New York. Phila
delphia and Boston.
Mrs. Flske's coming is an event of th
season always, and this time It will be the
more wTicome, because sh will show her
self la mure than on role, Ou Friday
Stageland
Yum in the all-star revival of "The
Mikado," which Is to be offered under the
management of the Messrs. Shubert nnd
William A. Brady at the Casino theater
for a limited engagement of four weeks,

will be cast In "The Mlkndo" as follows:
Sam Bernard as Ko-Ko, Jefferson de An
gclls as The Mikado. Andrew Mack as
Nankl-Poo, Charles Ross as . Pooh-Bah,
William Pruette as Plfrh-Tush, Marguerite
Clark as Perp-Bo and Josephine Jacoby as
Katisha.
James T. Powers will play another year
in "Havana," In which he starred last year.
Mr. Powers will be on the road during all
of the coming season.
The Coburn Players, modeled after tha
Ben Greet Players, will appear three times
In two days upon the lawn of the White
House in Washington, with .the approval
and consent of President Taft. Tho dates
are June 16 and 17 and the plays to be
presented are "Twelfth Night," "As You
Like It," and Gilbert Murray's translation
of "Elektra." In the last named Mr. Co
burn will appear as Orrestes, Mrs. Coburn
as Elektra and Mlsa lsador Duncan's
brother as the guest.
Bert Williams, thenrgro comedian, will
son will leave Omaha on Thursday, June
2, for New York, where they sail on June
8 for Paris for the summer, returning about
October 10. They have given up their resi
dence and studio at 1810 Capitol avenue
and will find a new location on their re
turn. Miss Marie Mfek, Miss Alice Vir
ginia Davis and Cecil Berryman, pupils of
Mr. Borglum, will accompany him to Paris,
where they will remain for two years to

evening, June 10, she will open her en
gagement In "Becky eharpe," and on Sat
urday at a special matinee she will re
peat this play. Saturday evening she will
play Ibsen's "Pillars of Society," the chief
of her season's productions. This Is
most attractive program, and Insures that
the Brandeis will be filled at each per
formance. "Sham," the clever comedy of manners
In which Miss Crossmati was seen last tall,
will be the bill for the week at the Boyd.
It will give Miss Lang a splendid oppor
tunity to continue her work as a comedi
enne, and will also afford her the first
chance to exhibit to the women folks her
new spring gpwns, for the play is a "dress"
affair, and requires much show of cos
tumes. The company is well caBt, and the
production is under direction of Mr. Wood
ward, who gives It his personal attention.
This means that tho settings will be of the
richest and most appropriate. The first per
formance will be given at a matinee this
afternoon, and the piece will be repeated
each evening during the week, with other
matineea on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day. In presenting the dramatic version of
"St. Elmo," the Rocedla Stock company at
the Gayety theater will have the attention
of thousands right here In Omaha, who
have read the book and who followed the
story with keen Interest down through the
various chapters, appreciating the stalwart
character of St. Elmo, sympathizing with
Edna during her adversity until. In the
closing chapter, they rejoice in the bringing
together of the two loving hearts. The
various sub-plots contained in the book
have been closely adhered to, and all the
essential characters in the story will be
recognized with no difficulty by those who
have read the book. The piece will be pre
sented with special scenery and correct
costuming.
When th Rocedla Stock company brings
its season to a close next Saturday even
ing, the Gayety will immediately be turned
over U another form of entertainment
that of summer time vaudeville. The man
agement of the theater will itself conduct
the summer show, "which announcement is,
In ItBelf, ample guarantee that at th pop
ular scale of prices charged, full value will
be given. The plan Is to open the summer
vaudeville season next Sunday afternoon,
a week from today. The bill, to consist of
eight or nine numbers, will be presented
twice dally, a feature being made of the
ladles' dim matinees dally, which were so
popular during the regular season. An en
tirely new program will be offered every
Sunday, the same to continue throughout
the week.
Th management of Brandeis theater has
arranged to Use Ralph Sunderland's famous
Alaska totem pole during the engagement
of "The Alaskan" during the coming week.
The Sunderland totem pole with all Its
brilliant colors, will be placed in the lobby
so that those who attend the opera will
have a chance to see the real, genuine pole,
which Mr. Sunderland bought from the
Indians on his trip to Alaska last summer.
The opening of the season at Lake
Manawa today is an Indication that the
"good old sumertlme" with its Joyful touch
of nature Is near, and while the manage
ment of the popular resort la not antici
pating a big rush for the bathing beach,
everything is In readiness to do business
at the bath houses, as well as th score
or more of other amusements that make
up the varied program at thla resort. A
large force of mechanics have been en
gaged for a rronth past getting the resort
in shape for the opening and improve
ment wrought Is an agreeable surprise.
The policy of past seasons In making cal
culations to cater to family trade and
especially to women and children will be
continued. Conveniences for the free use
of picnlo parties, such as chairs, tables,
swings and see-saws will be provided in the
shady groves. The Manawa Concert band,
which has become very popular, will ren
der dally afternoon and evening concerts.
Mr. Charles Jones will direct the band. An
excellent service will be maintained at the
cafe at prices not exceeding those of the
city cafes. The velvet roller coaster, the
merry-go-round and miniature railroad
have been completely overhauled and are
In as good shape as the day they came

Gertrude Hoffman. th dancer. hn en
tered Into a contract which precludes the
possibility of her taking a roof garden en
gagement for the summer. Miss Hofftnil,
"ho now boasts of br-lna; 'he highest paid
artist on the vaudeville stage, has bee 1
booked for forty weeks In vaudeville next
s son. The first sixteen weeks will be
spent In New York, after which the will
take the road. Therefore Instead of ap
pearing at a roof garden Miss Hoffman
decided to sail for Europe on Tuesday, f he
will go at once to Bavaria, where a big
scenic and mechanical novelty Is brlrg
built for her. She will return late In the
summer after a long rest abroad.
John Barrymore, oiic of the new stars
of last season, matinee Idol, relative of
John Drew, brother of Ethel Barrymore
Colt, and the stellar exponent of "The
Fortune Hunter," which Is now running
here, has solved the question of happy
marriages. Listen:
"A husband should be a good sport and
the wife should be a good sport. Then
there will be no divorce.
"The married sportsman will not nag
or scold; he will declare himself frankly
and explicitly, but petty fault finding will
be beneath htm; he won't fly Into a rage
If his wife Is admired by other men, and
he won't resent It If she coquettes a little.
For he won't be so vain or impossible as
to think his words and his smllea and his
admiration sum up the whole world of a
woman's life. He will provide money with
out being asked for It after he has made
it plain Just how much he can afford as
an allowance. He will not fly into a rage
over accidents nor win he blame his wife
for unpleasant events that come to all at
some time or another, despite the greatest
precautions.
"To sum It all up, the husband with the
sporting spirit will give his wife mental,
financial and social freedom."
Arthur Byron has taken the place of
Richard Bennett as leading man In "What
Every Woman Knows" with Maude Adams.
"Delia of the Secre? Service" Is the tltlo
of the new play in which Helen Ware la
to be starred by Henry B. Harris. The
play Is by Robert Payton Carter and Anna
Alice Chapin. Miss Ware-, who ts at
present appearing In "The Third Degree,"
will at the close of her present run sail
for Europe. She will return In August to
begin rehearsals for "Delia of the Secret
Service."
In London not long ago the watch com
mittee, censoring the theatrical advertising
on tho billboards, objected to the title,
"The Girl Who Went Astray." They there
fore erased tho word 'astray" and left the
title reading "The Girl Who Went .'
Gerald du Maurler, who will he a London
actor-manager next season, says: "I am

"Mr. Du Maurler, remarks the New
York Tribune, "mmt not expect to find
these wild Ideas welcome on Broadway
wh n he conns to this country."
'I would face the'jull at any time to
btnutlfy my work," say David Belasco.
"I do not count the cost of production. 1
like to spend money If by any hook oi
crook I can add to the romplelem ss and
perfection of the entertainment. Our pro
fession Is being Injured by too much
thouglit of the cost of production.
"The managers should be willing to make
a half dollar whero they are now making a
dollar profit and give the people better en
tertainment. It makes mo angry to seo it,
v lien t iie people are so willing to spend
their money Jor entertainment.
"It costs a great deal to go to the theater.
It means fine gloves, flowers, carrlttgts and
suppers and many other things. Why, after
that expense, should they be obliged to soo
an' Inferior production with something cut
out?
"Thoie should bo some one In every city
to dimund that, whllo they pay tho same
price for an entertainment that New Yollt
pays, they have exactly the same thing.
"Managers do their best to give an ade
quato repiesintatlon to a drama In New
York. They produce It to the best of their
ability and at great cost; but tho moment
tho time comes to put it out on the road
tho process of elimination bigin.s. A J-5 a
week actor takes tho place of a $200 a week
actor. Staircases and platforms and prop
erties at left behind; anything to cheapen

They are beginning to appreciate Mr.
Fruhman In Lcndon. Blackwood's Maga
zine describes Mm as "an enterprising
American who has decided that the Eng
lish drama, discredited and moribund, shall
enjoy a renewal of life at hln expense."
"For the management of his stage," says
the article, "and the discipline of his nc
tors he Is entitled to the- highest praise.
Never In our time have plays bean so effi
ciently, and withal so modestly, produced
ns at the Duke cf York's theater. Every
thing Is plain, yet adequate, and as we
watch Mr. Frohman'a scene we cannot but
confess that the problem of dramatic art
Is near its solution. The anarchy encour
aged by a long line of actor-managers findn
no favor at the reptrtolre theater. The
actors are more like men pulling In a boat
than like cricketers consulting their aver
age to the ruin of their sldo. So much has
Mr. Frohman achieved of excellent augury
for the future of tho stage, and he ha
achieved It because he Is a first rate work
man nnd knows tho theater like hl3
pocl;ct."
Manager Al Woods Is enraged at Phila
delphia. He says the Quakers do not ap
preciate his endeavors. In fact the Phlla
delphlans do not take to off-color produc
tions. "Th Girl with the Whooping
Cough" was tried there unsuccessfully.
"Where There's a Will" and "The Lady
