Tour Ends
Miss Springtifne Gets
Enough of Winter, and
Turns Back to Dear
Old Broadmy's Glare
;iSS SPRINGTIME put mo
M
the shutters in Omaha last
night and today is merrily
wending her way over the
"moth ball" route to the
storehouse in New York. The abrupt
termination of the tour is 3ue to th
iindeoiablcract jhat patronage ac
corded the company was not sufficient
te render the venture profitable. In
alt respects the : undertaking was " a
worthy one. fThe1 company was good
in every particular, both principals
and lesser lights being such as would
adorn any musical comedy, while the
investiture was opulentand even
lavish. In every respect it was en
titled to be listed among , the most
pretentious ventures" of the kind, lut
it did not draw enough people to the
box office to meet the expense, and
therefore, gies'intp th$ discard. The
experience of its J promoters is not
such s .will likely 'encourage them-to
renew their efforts immediately. ; Un
doubtedly, war conditions have seri
ously militated against the expensive
theatrical productions in th west as
welUs in the cast. It costs too much
to keep these large organizations with
their heavy equipment of 'scenery nd
costumes on the road ... these days.
"Miss Springtime" has a record since
the beginning of its tour in the west
of receipts of between $8,000 and $10.
000 a week. Ytt, this was not suffi
cient to offset the cost of moving tire
show from place to place. ,
la this connection it way be per
mitted to refer to letters rccenfly ex
changed between Mr. Al. Gi Field
and Secretary McAdoo. .When the
e-overnment took over the railroad t
the latter wetk of December, one of
the earliestyannouncemcnts was that
theatrical companies wduld.no longer
' be given special baggage cars or other
similar accommodations. This news
naturally was disquieting and the
managers were cotrespondingly ,up
6Ct. , Mr. Field addressed the secre
tary directly em the topic, asking him
for iair statement of yhar policy
the government would pursue. In re
ply Secretary McAdoo stated that it
was the intention to afford theatrical
troupes on the toad every reasonable
accommodation. "Th people must
be amused," said Mr. McAdoo, and
with it made the promise that so: far
as bis administration of the railroads
is concerned, the managers would get
reasonable consideration at all times.
This, of course, is comfortmg. for it
means that communities t such as
Omaha wiU not' be entirely deprived
of the pleasures of the theater.
The-- radical '' mandate-tissued by
Fuel, Dictator Garfield has. .hit the
show houses in the terV(torv affected
a hard blow. Enforced Idleness for
a week and the closing of the theaters
one- m'ght. during . etch week for a
large part of what remains of the cur
rent season must necessarily require
a readjustment of all plans, the re
arrangement of bookings and routes
and, a general making, over of the
theatrical map. How far this will
affect thcimaller; cities, cannot be
eaid at this time, nor until the pro
ducers and agents lu.ve had oppor
tunity to,' re-arrange tbeir business.
It is reasonable, however, to think
that within a short time conditions
will hae been so adjusted that the
public may be told ""what can be
looked for at the theaters.
The change in policy at the Brtn-
'deis,: announced .through the news
columns last week, did not especially
surprise those v ho have- been . in
touch with the local situation, fail
ore of the stock company to attract
profitable pjtronage must not be
ascribed to the incapacity of the play
ers. Messrs. Le Marquard and Le
'doux had assembled a very capable
-;ojipany of players, who gave lntct-
Qie cf 'tot JVe Merry MiMs"
ligent and 'at times impressive inter
pretation to the lighter forms of the
drama. It Was very .unfortunate,
however, for this company that its
operations were so seriously inter
fered with by arrangements which re
quired interruptions from time, to
time that visiting organizations might
occupy v the 1 stage. This prevented
anything like the establishment of
the Urandcis players as a local organ
ization. Many did become attached
to the" company and , its individual
members and will seriously regret the
fact, that they are singing their swan
song this weik. ... Miss , Mary Hilt,
who was best known of all because of
her " former experience ' in Omaha,
leaves toOay for her home .in Kansas
City, where she will spend Hhe next
few months withher parents, who;
are not in good health. Mr. Mintern
has made no plans i his immediate j
future, jlor has Miss Hamilton. Other
players in the company are equaTty j
unsettled, but it is not probable that
they will be long without employ
ment, : iV -,CV" ,.,5 ." "
In going over to vaudeville, Messrs.
La Marquard and,. Ledoux are trying
something in'tfie nature of ' an ex
periment, The higher class of vaude
ville, as presented at' the 'local Or.
pheum, is well established in Omaha
under the direction ot. Martin ' Beck,
and hasten very successful from the
bginning; The so-called "popular
vaudeville,", as presented at the Em
press has also been a winner. Under
the "hew arrangement 'the Brandeis
will.give a quality somewhere between
the tyo grades that are now provided,
.offering bills of merit at a price that
should attract, a considerable patron
age. This sort of entertainment has
been very popular in other cities and
has engaged the attention of producers
to the extent that larger theaters have
been built especially for its accom-
Lmodatif.n. For. example, the owners
of the Orpheum circuit ire building in
Kansas City a third vaudeville theater
to meet wnat they conceive to be the
demand for: this quality of entertain
ment. - Vantages is well known
through6ut the country and Omaha is
almost thcHast city of any consider
able size in which this form of vaude
ville is not already established; The
condition here seem to be such as
would justify, the managers iu.iheir
new venture.
One of -the . interesting features, of
the performaiice of "Miss Springtime"
at the- Braindeis on Jr riday . evening
was to watch the .apparent, glee or
merriment of the chorus girls as they
danced on or off through the joyous
moments in which thev , took cart.
Each of these girls was. aware of the
tact mat on the-following night tlrtV
would take a train for New York with
the certainty, that when they .reached
there they had no employment, and
that there is nothing ahead oj them to
warrant expectation ot : securing : a
similar engagement before next fall.
It is not to be thought, that these girts
are so careless of, piaterial things, that!
tney ao not annreciate tne serious
aspect of their condition. Yet, in no
movement of face or limb, in no note
of-their voices, 6uld the close ob
server "detect any.sign)pf the clsud
thit certainly hung over them. It was
a really impressive" exhibition of. the
fievntinn of the jrtnr tn liia iri ut..-.
Ping that even the humblest of rlioie
who are engaged in the profession can
entirely give over or submerge, their
Jiersonal , feelings while pranoing be
ore the foot lights-' fjr.4be amusement
of the mu'tHude. Many traeedies arc
hidden while ccmcdies are being pcr-
formed, and this was not the least ofkBrittanv1 will he- shown . in motion
them. . - '

ihe modern minstrel show and High'
class vaudeville will appear at the
Boyd today for our days, .with daily
matinees. One of the features of the
Vaudeville section of the program is
the work of Musical Kirk, usiijg mu
sical instruments of his own make
and design.; In addition to Kirk, who
may jbe classed-as the musical come
dian, the list of end men is headed
by Ed Tolliver and Clarence Powell,
assisted by other capable comedians
and the Creole Beauty chorus is close
ly seconded by the large company ot
male voices. , -. - ;
' Fun is the keynote of iuccess in iihe
"Show of Wonders," the New York
Winter Garden's most pretentious of
fering. ' Not only has the manage-,
ment assembled one of the most nota
ble companies in the history of Winter
Garden shows, but some exceedingly
funny situations have been written
mto the book, ror example, a I'uil-
man sleeping car interior is shown in
which Charles Wright, as "Pansy," a
rotund, middle-aged and red-headed
lady, is assisted into an -upper berth
with the aid of a derrick , and rix
husky negro porters, only to discover
after being comfortably settled tor the
night Jhat he has gotten mjto the
wrong berth. Then again Eugene and
Willie Howard are shown in the char
acters of a telephone switchboard op
erator tfnd a patron. Eugene calls a
long-distance number as Willie, as the
operator, Orders his dinner, his order
being sadly ' mixed with Eugene's'
telephonic conversation. Tonr Lewis
as the grouchy husband of Pansy, try-!
ing to evade her, also furnishes a
number of extremely funny situations,
particularly so in s the scene where
Lewis as a life saver, discovers a trim
ankle of an exceedingly symmetrical
young lady protruding from behind a
beach parasol and up6n investigation
finds that the younglady Changed
places with his buxom wife. . But while
the "Show of Wqnders" is rich in
humor, the other essentials of AVintct
Garden success have not been neglect
ed. No more pleasing bit'of feminine
loveliness has ever been -offered the
public than dainty. Flora Lea, ,hose
work all through the performance is
relished with keen delighuby the audi
ence. And tliere is an. array of sing
ers and dancers and etnertainers that
reads like a pagefrom "Who's "Who
on the V Stage." There are also 15
scenes of more than ordinarysplen
dor, including the thiller, "Submarine
F-7," said to be the most startling ef
fect of recent years. !The "Show of
Wonders", will be the offering aVthe

By, HENRIETTA M. REES.
AST week we ipoke of tlje
three recitals which were
soon toroing, and of their
wide contrast and -variety.
ilJ But we did not mention the
fact that all three make their
greatest appeal to the audience by
exactly the same thing, and that is
the charm of the. small composition.
McCprmack we have already heard.
Yvette Guilbert and Mrs. MacDowcll
are soon to come, but in each of their
programs hc small composition
stands pre-eminent' . .
Did you ever see such audiences as
have turned out uvOmaha to hear
John McCormack? Is it because he
has a beautiful voice, or because he
is a splendid musician? Not at all,' al
though the quality of his voice and the
many musical excellencies of his sing
ing have a great, deal more to do with
his success than many seem to think.
It is because he is the foremost cham
pion of the small song. The great
general public knows that McCormack
will sing ballads in English; well ar
ranged fojk songs; simply, yet. well
written songs, witlv melody in them
expressing a bit of sentiment or' a
mood, and it turns out en masse to
hear' trim. McCormack caa and does
sing songs of larger form and more
musical intricacy; but it is because he
presents small songs and . the song's
the people love with all thT charm of
a masterly interpretation that he oc
cupies the prominent place in public
favor which he . does, today. ' '"Jhe
Littlest of All," a song by Tours,; in
his , last group, exactly expressed the
charm of the small "gem" in any
thing. Isn't gem a good word? Evert
the biggest genu are, really ' small
things. Some little songs are so beau
tiful that we could kindly stand them
if they were larger.
Yvette Guilbert, in her coming' re
cital, will bring to notice many of the
most delightful of . the French folk
songl. Many of. these are so small
and so simple, vet so- full of musical
beauty that whoever hears them can
not but delight in them. She provides
them with an atmospheric tetting. and
interprets them both ,by voice and act
ing so artistically that their charm is
doubled ; and' one wonders how she
could find so many lovely small longs
which are not better knewn. But
jt is, Jrobably because all the singers
are Isinging the big songs. k $..fv.y,
Mrs. MacDowell, at 'her recital at
the Young Women s Christian asso
ciation on February 2d, will interpret
many of MacDowcll's piano composi-
(.an. f i T"...nlt ntrt turn' A m a , n ' a
greatest composer and has composed
for orchestra and in many of the larg
er forms, excelling in all of them. Ye't
much of his fame as a composer is
based upon hi shorter works. "Tb a
Wild Rose," "To a Water Lily." two
of his piano compositions, are known
arid loved' by thousands, yet they are
just a few Jines of music, simple in
form, but full of beauty. His song
are among the finest oLmodern lit
erature, yet the majority of them are
just short charming bits of ; music.
They sound so easyT yet -they are
seldom supg because they are so hard
to sing welf. k ' '' . . .- , '. v
It is theay of the small composi
tion in music just as St is the day of
the short-story and the- playlet, The
sma' com.Pos,t'on1.,,lay s'Ple' J
may be difficult, .but many times it
requires more art to interpret it truth
fully, thay many of the longer anl
larger ones.. There is. a wealth of ma
terial in small numbers at hand for
the singer, the violinist and the piartistj
11 he will but look fpr it. One does
n6t necessarily have to play sohotas
and concertos all thetime nor. sing
arias to fulfill his musical destiny.
Many' times as many as two or three
.arias appear upon the same program
of some singers, then, a group of two
or three in foreign languages, , and
perhaps two or three insignificant
soigs in English at the 'close, and
then the singers wonder - why they
46-not. draw immense houses. There
are" sofiany beautiful smaller songs
which need popularizing just s much
as the1 "Prologue Jo Pagliacci'for
instance. The 6ong for itself," the
lovely complete, and compact piano"
composition, with which we are only
made familiar now and then, oujt of
a perfect mine, of treasure, (of Griegor
MacDowelt, for instance), the short
numbers for Jhe violin uch as Kreis
Icr and a few others write, these. are
the, kind of music of which the pub
lic cannot get enough, and which are
more than worthy musically. Many
an audience, if an artist can perform
these numbers artistically, will give
him the benefit of tlie doubt or take
his-word for the fact that he knows
arrd can play three or four concertos.
The concerto and. aria are all right
int their place, and it is a - com
meifcable ambition for students and
artists to . want to be able to sing ,the
biggest songs there; are, but -sometimes
in music, liker the ; man ; who
owned thi two pups, the three-mpnth-olcU
Newfoundland , and the .six-month-old
terrier, ''the littlest dog is
the biggest dog," in spite of its size. If
bnly more-, musical workers .would
ppen- their ears and hearts "to. the
charm of -the small composition and
bring its manifold beauties before the
public, that public might find, itself
a much more music loving body than
. "Great Songs of Great France,"- is
the title -Yvettc Guilbert gives to the
program "she will sing ou Thursday
evening January- 24, at 'the v B6yd
theater,' There s never a t'rne whjsn
America and France were so near to
each other, never a time when1 weso

people call. her with affection and with
reverence, too, is not only an artist-
she is a great woman, and this fact
adds the hnal needed ,note to a per
formance that is necessarily as per
sonal as hers. Her art. is more than
that of a diseuse, it is a complex crea
tion of temperament, personality, in
telligence : and . extraordinary ' charm.
A great actress, she has none of the
properties - and aids of which actors
avail themselves to give meaning to
their acting; a" great singer, she has
not a beautiful organ, with, which to
Clothe th verse of her song; a great
speaker, there alone site ; is endowed
with everything which can give speech
beauty, meaning and soul yet in all
three she is supreme. Those who un
derstarid the medium of her art, the
French language, will find in itre
vealedbv her, beauties never oefore
dreamed - of subfleties; never before
guessed at;, while "for those who do

has arranged a' program that will
appeal not only to discriminating

Mrs, Wilhelm, chairman of th program

answered our query of last week by saying
that thin club tried to engage Jascha,
Meifetz, the wonderful young violinist, wno
ha taken the east by storm, but that it
was impossible to 'obtain any dates this
season. In all probability he will be en
gaged by this club for next year, which is
a cause for great rejoicing. When the staid,
blase critics of the eastern musical centers
say, that a violinist eucb as he is heard
but once in a lifetime, it means that those
who are privileged to hear him will have
a treat in store. , V
