HAT the people of Omaha ap
preciate the good things tn
music and drama was demon
strated again last week when
the local theaters were treated
to an enormous patronage. Es
pecially was this apparent Thursday
night when every playhouse In the city
was taxed to Its capacity, several selling
standing room and S30 seats being utllltcd
on tho Brandels stage, This In spite ot
the fact that. 5,000 people heard Bryan at
the Auditorium on that evening and bo
sides one ot the, largest churches of the
city was filled with leading socltty peo
ple to witness a wedding ceremony. Bet
ter shows aro now promised by the the
aters and indications are that If the prom
ise la-.' fulfilled Omaha will continue to
fill the theaters.
I FOB.T OMAHA. Nc.ii.. Nov. To
the Editor of The Bee: Kindly answer the
following Questions:
1. What is the nationality of the famous
nctrcss, Madamo Modjeka.
2. What company Is she now playing
with At tho present time.
3. What Is the nationality of Olga
Petrova.
t. Where, Is she now playing, and with
what company.
C.Which of the two ubovo named is
considered the better actress.
C. WALLENRODT.
Madame Helena Modjcska was born In
Cracow, Poland, in 1811, and mado her
dbut In 1801, soom becoming a leading
actress' in her native country. Her first
appearance In English was In Ban, Kjan.
Cisco in 1877, In "Adrlenne Lecouvrcur,"
followed by a starring tour through the
lnltcd States. After a buccesstul London
engagement she returned to America and
played Reading Shakespearean parts,
'nmlll .' "Mary Stuart." etc! Sho died
In Callfgornla In 1000, where she made
her home, and was recognlred as one of
the leading actress In the world at the
time of her death.
We have no knowledge of what com
pany Olga Petrova Is now playing with.
8he Is a Russian by birth, anil, whatever
her attainments may be. she certainly
has not uchlevod In America the great
distinction that ramo to HoVnu ModJipkrt.
It s possible that In time she may be
' ccme as geniunely- famous as did th
great Polish actress, but at present there
) no possible basis for n comparison be
tween the two women. Can you com
pare one star with another, or one bright
nunshlny day with another and tell
wherein the difference Ilea, or which if
the most glorious? As the apostle lony
ago wrote, "One stnr dlffereth from an
other star In glory" but he did nt n.
dertake to say which was the more beau
tiful and attractive.
The theatrical clock will be moved back
a quarter of a century tonight at Boyd's

nights and Wednesday matinee a re
vival of the .most popular Gilbert and
Sulllyan's operas, which Includes "The
Mikado," "Pinafore." "Patience" and
"Tho Pirates of Penzance."
Revivals on the stage are as dangerous
aa reminiscences In literature or conversa
tion. Thero Is a tremendous lot thnt is
beautiful In the past, but the tendency
of tho world ,1s to slldo a little ahead ot
the present, even to steal Into the future
If there Is a possibility of a mentality
getting around that corner today.
It Is to the credit of the Messrs. Shu
bert and William A. Brady, however, who
had the piquant cournge, not only to re
vive "Pinafore," "Tho Mikado," "The
Pirates of Penzance" and "Patience," but
who also had the wisdom to put away tho
cerements of the dead past that sur
rounded them In the pigeonhole caskets
where they reposed, theso many years,
and to vest them in all tho gorgeous rich
ness of modern stage settings and to cast
them with an array of artists that aro
big enough and resourceful enough to
moke the old new, and as well to Impart
all the delightful flavor ot mingled satir
ical fun and luring melodies that filled
the oul of father and mother with Joy
twenty-five years ago.
Just one glance at tho cast will InBtantly
reveal not only the Important, but the
aggregate' strength of the Gilbert and
Sulltvun Festival company, marking It as
being, without question, tho most im
portant organization presenting light
opera In America today. On Its roster
will be revealed the names of DoWolf
Horper, Blanche Duffleld, Eugene Cowles,
Arthur Aldrldgc, Geqrge MacFarlane,
Kate Condon, Ylola Gillette, Arthur Cun
ningham and Louise Barthel. And all this
strength Is further supplemented with the
addition of tho New York Catlno theater
chorus, which numbers fifty-six people.
It Is pleasing to note that these revivals
have" been given a most ardent greeting
everywhoro they have been presented
rlnco leaving the Casino in New York, In
which city they proved a veritable sensa
tion. The following engaging repertoire lias
been arranged for presentation in this
City: Tonight "The Mikado," that most
charming of all the Gilbert and. Sulllvarf
operas, has been selected as tho bill with
which to start this most attractive en
gagement. This opera, will bo repeated
on Wednesday evening. Tomorrow even
ing "The Pirates o(, Penzance" will be
given and followed by tho production of
"Patience" on Tuesday evening, with
"Pinafore" as the bill for the matinee on
Wednesday afternoon.
In "The Girl, the Man and tho Game."
which is booked for a three-day run at
the Boyd, beginning Thursday, November
11, will be seen a play packed full of
songs and laughter. The plot la . pure
farce, and Interspersed among the many
ludicrous situations are many rones
which havo.the life and go that make
them instantly popular. Billy (Single)
Clifford, the star of the play, and one
I who U one of the most popular enter-
tainers upon the American stage, is tho
singer of many of them, among which
are "On the First Dark Night Next
Week," "Hands Up," tho famous Billy
song, "I Want a Berth for Bertha," "That
Was All, Nothing More," "Toxus Tom
my's Dance," "Beautiful Love," Clifford's
"Dream Waltz." "Mine,1' "Rose Marie,"
"I Want a Girl," "Homo Run Bill" and
"Wlnnlo from Winnipeg."
Billy Is surrounded by an excellent com
pany, headed by Miss Mae Collin, who
assumes the role of "Tho Girl;" Jack
Trainer, who Is "The Cause" of "The
Game." A clever prima donna In the per
son of MUd Marie Welter,, Bud Brama,
EdwuVd C. Clifford, Lol Marlowe and u
host of others, Including his "Famous All
Girlie Beauty chorus."
In view of tho fact that thousands of
the readers In this city who keep abreast
with the popular works of fiction aro
familiar with Robert W. Chambers' very
sensational and unconventional novel,
"The Common Law," It is only reasona
ble to suppose that everyone acquainted
with the characters In the book wllj want
to see the play, which wilt have Us Initial
hearing In Omaha at tho Brandels theater
Sunday mutlnee, nnd judging from the
calls being mado at the box office so far
In advance It Is safe to count upon this
attraction enjoying a most profitable en
gagement. It will-remain four days.
The transferring to tho 'stage of Mr.
Chambers' compelling story has been done
with dqo consideration for scenic details
and stage accessories, tho scenes having
been painted after sketches made by the
world-famous artist, Charles Dana aib
son, who Is likewise responsible for the
Illustrations In Mr. Chambers' book. The
company appearing in "Tho Common
Law" contains actors and actresses who
can berelied upon to give a splendid ac
count of themselves.
The Coburn players as Shakespearean
actors need no format expression of
praise. Their name Is synonymoun with
their achievements and Is familiar to
theatergoers of this city. It ts .riot necss
.sary; therefore, to enter into minor de
tails ot their local engagement at the
Brandels theater' on Thurrday, PJday and
Saturday, November 14, 15 and 10, with a
