Rgyptologlst.i mlglu rind some fault
with tho biological and historical char
acters nnd situations In the beautiful
songs and funny story which Victor Her
bert and Harry . Smith put together
for their comic opera. "Tho Wizard of
the Nile," but even they would have for
gotten tho verities during the three rol
licking hours during which the Ak-Sar-Hen
Operatic society presented tho piece
at tho Brandeis last night.
Beforo a house almost filled with the
atergoers, and some, It could be seen,
who were not confirmed ns that, the Ak-Sar-Hcnltes
presented the humorous
story and tho catchy music of the piece
In a manner that would do credit more
over, would probably flatter a cast ot
professionals.
From the dispensation ot the roles
among tho members or the society It
would seem that the pleco had been
created for their express presentation,
each character having been put upon him
and her who carried It out with almost
complete exactness and to tho thorough
satisfaction, Judging from the applause,
of the audience.

Kspeuially delightful was tho work ot
tho chorus. Through this shone the
handiwork of Frederic C. Frecniautel,
and the work Inst night should have ben
full compensation to him i-.h well as the
cast for the many hours of hard work
spent In preparation. Wherever accom
paniments to principals fell In, and In
tho magnificent ensembles of the piece,
this chorus came out strong, full, har
monious. And in this respect it might be said
that If the work of the cast presented any
added luster during the progress of the
opera it was at tho tlmeu when the whole
company a most select cast of nearly
eighty persons, were on tho stage. Then
tho action of tho play seemed to take on
Increased zest nnd spirit. Their dnnclng
and drills were a compliment to the abil
ity of W. M. Chambers, who trained them
in this part of tho work.
As for costumes nnd scenic Investiture,
few comic operas have been seen In
Omaha that were more handsomely
equipped. Not only wero the principals
strikingly garbed In silks ami satins and
sldmmerlng cloth, but the entire cast pre
sented a plcturo artistically nnd harmoni
ously colored and attractively vested.
Palo pinks and blues and cleap whites
formed the background, the chorus setting
off tho more brilliantly colored and oddly
designed costumos of the principals.
These harmonized completely with the
beautiful scenery of the tlu-ee acts; tho
first, n public square iti Alexandria,
Kgypt; tho second, the terrace roof of the
king's palace, and the third, the Interior
of tho king's prlvnto pyramid. Each
scene was Invested with greater beauty,
helping out tho action of the piece In lead
ing up to a spectacular climax.
I.lelien lit Ills llest.
Tho mcmbors of the Ak-Sar-Ben
Operatic society acquitted themselves ad
mirably In their various roles, none of
which could be declared easy to handle.

that the work of Oscar G. Llcbcn should
stand out. He had much or the comedy
to present, Hiid that he presented It, to
gether with a goodly amount or apt
"business." In u way to bring much
Hearty laughter goes without saying ti
Omahnns. In this he displayed marked
ability and possibly oiit-Llcbened Lichen
all or which Is not a slight compli
ment. With his, there shone tho work of
Henry W. Dunn. Mrs. Edith 8pcncr
O'Donnell, Mib. Clifford Boyles, M. T
. Swartz, S. S. Ilnmlltou, Miss Inez Latcy.
a. J. Aivorn ami .miss uorret Arndt
Chief of Police Dunn presented King
Ptolemy In his usual good manner of
characterization. He read his lines ac
curately and with a naturalness of man
ner that was quite entertaining, and sanr
tho scores allotted to him In splendid
voice.
Mrs. O'Donnell's work throughout
marked her as the professional actress,
As tho king's second wife, amusing,
dictatorial and emphatic, she convulsed
her audience with the adroit manner In
which she gave her lines.
Mrs. Boyles also was a central figure
because of her naturalness jnd good
stage presence. She had a difficult role
too. In Abydos, the apprentice of Kibosh,
tho wiznrd of tho Nile.
Simrlr, iin l'turiiilKiui.
M. T. Swartz sang In excellent voice
of wide range. In his song serenade to
attract Cleopatra, he gave a beautiful
solo and came In for his share of en
cores. Next to Llcbcn In carrying tho comedy
of the opera came S. S. Hamilton. He
wns "Cheops," the royal weather prophet
who, because he had failed to cause the
Nllo to rise and save the crops of Kgypt,
was about to bo executed, when tho
"wizard" camo upon the sceno. Hamil
ton could be said to have lived his part,
for even when he was not Participating
in tho dialogue his facial expressions and
pantomime attracted the audience to htm.
A. J. Alvord was conspicuous ror his
pleasing singing. His role, "Odcllsk,
captain of the royal guards," afforded
him opportunities to display his good
voice.
t'lropn t rii Attracts.
Miss Inez Lntey was a most winsome
and beautiful Cleopatra, even though her
physique did not 'correspond to the Gen
eral Ideas anent the great historical
beauty. Hers was tho work of carrying
the high notes in tho scores and sho
did It meritoriously.
Miss Dorrctt Arndt did not have enough
singing to do In her role ot "Netra," a
page. She opened tho second act with a
splendid solo and responded to a hearty
encore. Her short number gave a hint
that the operatic society has more In
dividual talent to display than there were
roles In the piece this time selected to
offer. In terpslchorean art, Miss Georgia
Gideon was tho star.
Tho show will be presented again to
nightthe last performance. It may be
Omaha's last chance to seo Chief Ddnn
and Oscar Lteben, as well as some other
local stars, as they have said they In
tend to quit after this year.
