He was at least nctlns; with "horso sense," and had the Messrs. A born used as much In their own fforU, the whole would have been k great deal more satisfactory. Bo far as the weenie display itself i' question. It oc casions reirrct that the Kllrabothan era has not been extended to these days In ofar as ppera is concerned. One recalls Bembrlch, Caruso, and others singing; at ths Auditorium before a painted "drop'1 and a very feeble Initiation of the outer ato of the place of Lammermoor, and enly thinks of the Klorlous tones that oo on tho notes of Donlxettl's music tThe scene-what of UT Was not there a wonderful display 0f vocal maenlflcence men as Is rarely listened toT Then why Jhould there , bo a scene at all?

With beauUful and costly stage setting, one looks for something uncommonly ood In the way of actlns. singing or whatever Is to bo displayed. Here .ho hope, waa certainly broken; the word of promise was forgotten. One does not like to set out upon a categorical exhibition of the faulU of the performance, for they yr too many. The great fault Is, perhaps, the utter Inability or tho principals, with the single exception of Florian. who nad the role of DovJlihoof. to act The efforts In the line of acting were painfully ama teurish, showing a decided lack of knowl edge of even the rudiment of the actor's wt; UUs incapacity destroyed all -in-l)Unce of beauty of the oten reduced it to a condition where It wan . neither opera nor concert, and set in thH great mass of scenery and garnished with circus and vaudeville as It was, the In congruity was so apparent that what lit tle good It might contain was lost In tho generally ridiculous aspect of tho whole. After seeing this production tho fcellns Is to question the value of tho mmnlt. ment paid to Omaha by the Mr tun. Abom In employing a number of young Omaha singers for their organizations. Adeline Oenee, tlio Danish senlus of terpuwhdre, who comes to the Auditorium wllh her own pompauy and orchestra next Thursday evening, commenced to fiance atvne National theater In Munich nt but years of oa-o. A fw vmn int. she took a really big part at tho Iloyal opera nouse in uorlln, which engagement was followed by a stay In Copenhagen which gained the plaudits of the royalty of several nations, Including tho late Klnr Edward. Mile. Oenee came to Amer ica Just two years ago In "Th Sout Kiss." The brilliancy bf her art capll. vated New York and though ihn haa been seen In America but few times slnco her title, "queen of the dance," remains un rrtarred. Adollno Qenea Is tremendously popular In London, from where she came to open her American tour with n. Arhui at the Metropolitan opera houso, Now Yorlj City, Inst November. Though Mile. Qenea was i but recently married to nn English lawyer. It Is asserted that hrr art entirely governs her life. Every day demands at least two hours' poracttco In a room wnlled with mirrors sho Is always well and never Indulges In late Buppers or winesr The Cosmopolitan (November) sys!

In '-Toledo, O., Miss Williams made a trio to one of the big factory plants; there about 8,099 people are employed, and at the noon hour, while the men were at lunch, mounted the seat of an automo bile and guthered a crowd of about 3,000 around nor and made a speech In, the In terest of Iter attraction. She also makes a speech at tho conclusion of each per formance, thanking those present for their' attendance, concluding with, (to quote Mollle), "If you llko the show I want you to tell your friends. If you do not like it, go out and Knock It." If this Is not going after business 'with a vengeance, nothing Is, and Max Spiegel la to be complimented for having the management of such a wonderful woman. "The moat famous cartoon comedy production extant," Is pretty strong phraseology, hut If you follow the career of "Mutt'Hd Jeff" from Its Inception, you'll agree that there Is no i.lirase nt tho Knsllsh luncuacn too stronr in j descrlbo the achievements of Hud Fish ers clever cartoon play. When Qus Hill secured the playrlghtn, few people fore saw the tremendous success to bo achieved. Four companies of forty-flvo people each are now playing the rJece In the four corners of the t'nltrdStatrs. and all are playing not only to capacity business, but are creating records In every theater In whfety they appear.
