THE BEE; OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17t 1919 IS YANK SOLDIERS ACQUIRED OPERA TASTES ABROAD Effect Already Noticed In Au diences of the Chicago Opera Association Companni Pleased With Situation. It has been observed that since the war broke out and troops have been stationed in camps near large cities, especially musical centers, opera and other musical entertain ment have been attracting an entire- ly new set of patrons. The cause of this is due to the fact that thou sands of American boys, coming from those parts of the country where there is no musical activity, have become interested in music in a manner that is surprisingly en couraging. Singing in camps, under the di rection of well known song leaders, has already stimulated a fond de sire for a better class of music than was heretofore known. Managers of the opera houses in Chicago and New York noticed many new faces in the audiences last season. Soldiers Throng Audiences. Managers attributed this to the influx of soldiers-and sailors to the musical training they were receiv ing. Salesmen of libretti stated that never in their experience had they seen so many men purchase the story of the operas. Concerts and orchestral entertianments had many uniformed strangers facing them. And it was not only officers in at ttndance but enlisted and drafted men. ; In Europe the American soldier heard much more music in camp than at home. The French and Italians find more recreation in musical affairs than in sports. They seem to take more pride in the class of music. By icoming in contact with French a fld Italian soldiers, and thus being ijntroduced to their music, the American soldier, before he knew it, had acquired such a taste for the better class of music, that the ordinary "stuff" did not satisfy his growing artistic taste. Companini Is Overjoyed. Mr. Campanini expects much bet ter results from this new class of audience this season than ever be fore. The hundreds of thousands of soldier boys returning from France should have a wonderful effect upon the musical situation, and he urges that every community in the coun try take special pride to engage in better music in order that these boys drift not back again into a rut. Ho fully expects to find during the tour of the Chicago Opera asso ciation this fall, and especially in Omaha next week, a new audience. He feels convinced that the re turned soldier and sailor is sure to feel that this trip abroad has taught him more than the art of handling a machine gun and rifle. He fully believes that he acquired some of the European music, and he feels that he knows enough about good music to really enjoy it. Charges Conspiracy to Place Husband in Insane Asylum Charging that "evil-minded per sons" have conspired to place her husband, Frank Kreishutz in the insane asylum at Lincoln, Mrs. Elizabeth Kreishutz began habeas corpus proceedings to secure his release from the asylum in district court yesterday. ' The suit is directed against J. D. Case, superintendent of the asylum and has been set for hearing Oc tober 21. ' Mrs. Kreishutz says she is 52 years old and her husband is 59. They were married 30 years ago and moved to Platte county where by industry and thrift they acquired a farm and several thousand dol lars. Then they were induced to move to Fremont by the "evil-minded persons" and there the proceedings were brought by which her hus band was placed in the asylum, she says. "Disappointed" Police and Is Fined; Bottle Had Root Beer in It Charges of "disappointing an offi cer" and vagrancy brought a fine of $25 and costs to Theodore McCoy, fregro, 2107 Clark street, in central police court yesterday. It was a keen sense of smell that prompted the police to make a charge of "dis appointing an officer" against Mc Coy when he proved to them that a pint whisky bottle in his hip pocket contained root beer instead of liq uor. Police say he attempted to sell the extract as whisky. The arrest was made at Fourth and Davenport streets. Theodore paid his f.ne. Indian Soldier Accused Of Striking Army Officer Lt. Clarence L.

No picketing has been done since the recent riot un til today. The strikers deny statements -of restaurant owners that the strike is lost As evidence of their success they declare that nearly 30 restau rants have "come to terms" and that the membership of the Cooks and Waiters' union has been greatly in creased. It was the plan of the strikers to start a co-operative restaurant of their own, with cabaret features, but leaders of the strike say the difficulty in finding a suitable loca tion and the fact that nearly every one in the union is working for some "fair" house makes the plan unnecessary. Managers of restaurants which are members of the Omaha Restau rant Men's association declare that none of the restaurants in the or ganization has signed the strikers' demands.
