Mr. ' Sothern has, often played
Hamlet in Omaha, but never so well
as last night. This is not because
his. former efforts lacked either sin
cerity of purpose or earnestness of
effort, but through the very fact that
his steadfast application-to the role
has brought him much nearer to
realization of his ideal of the char
acter. It is not a mad Hamlet he
gives aus, but one who was sore
perplexed,' whose' mind and reason
held firm through the sorrow that
he' bore and who set firmly about
his- sclf-imposedi task, once he was
convinced his course was right.
Through it all he shows a-quality
of noble tenderness that is most be
coming. His parting with (Jphelia
is marked by a poignancy that must
convince any of the wrench his
heart- underwent when ' he resigned
his love ' that "he might pursue his
ve'ngance. Again, in the closet
seine, which he1 always has made
much of, Mr. Sothern nicely bal
ances" filial duty, and conjugal love,
and hold , evenly balanced his
great devotion to his. father with
an immense compassion and yearn
ing love for his mother, whose de
fault to his father did not destroy
that -'fond attachment' a jnan should
cherish for. his mother. This is the
most convincing of all his scenes, al
though . his little colloquies with
Horatio move with such depth of
feeling as ever serve to emphasize
the dreadful tragedy in which his
life has been 'engulfed.
: In other, moments, his conversa
tions ' with "Rosenkrantz and Guil
denstern, with Polonius, his advice
to., the players, ; his chat with the
gravedrgger, and his general de
meanor, the mood and word are
suited to the purpose with more of
exactness than, ever before, and
serve well his general desifc.i. In
every . way- his Hamlet- has im
prdved as it has advanced in ex
perience. Miss Marlowe- makes a demurely
appealing Ophelia modest, submis-sive,-and
maidenly. Hist such a mate
fas might well have been wished for
the prince of Denmark had. his life
been set in sunshine and not in
shadow. Her mad scene is finely
conceived ' and done with - no" evi
dence ' of ' artificially. Miss Kruger
plays the queen motfier with feeling
and good taste, and Miss Chippen
dale carries off her one opportunity
as the player queen with good effect.-.
But "Hamlet" is not a wo
man's play", the feminine roles being
incidental, serving . to explain and
adorn rather than to dominate the
a-etion. ' ' - - i
. In making his sparing excisions
of the text, Mr. Sothern has some
what foreshortened thf garrulity of
Polonius, dropping entirely the fare
well advice given to Laertes. Mr.
Peters has the part, and in its pre
sentation loses only such of its com
edy element as has disappeared with
the words that are left out. Mr.
Buckatone compensates for this by
his droll philosophy and indifference
to death in the churchvard rene
ivhich is given with an elaboration
seldom bestowed on it, but withal
most appropriately. ...... ,
Mr. Lewis as Horatio heightened
the gofcd impression- he, made as
Orsinb in-the opening bill. Hi voice
and mariner, carriage and delivery,
suggest great possibilities for thy
coming years. As Laertes Mri Stan
ford is also well cast. .'For the mat
ter of that, a word of praise should,
be spoken for the entire company,
for its. perfection at all points. .
Again does, the result .justify Mr.
Sothern's having abandoned the
heavy sets for. the elastic arid.serv
iceable - device, he ; now : employs
Quite effectively .is the needed "at
mosphere" produced and without de
tracting, frofn the. more 'important
feature, the '.intelligent illumination
of the play by the actors.- v.
"Twelfth Night" will be repeated
this afternoon, with the same cast as
on Thursday evening, and this eve-,
ning "The Taming of the Shrew"
will be given, with Mr. 'Sothern as
Petruchio and Miss Marlowe as
Katherine.

"Maytime," a beautiful story-'play

MUSIC
JOHN M'CORMACK sang at the
Auditorium last evening. That
sentence implies-that the vast
Auditorium was filled from pit to
gallery by the host of his admirers.
It implies that one of the greatest
singers before the public of the
present day appeared there in re
cital. It implies that a program of
songs was sung which included
numbers that would appeal to all
tastes, for all tastes were there to be
satisfied, songs which were sung in
the inimitable McCdrmack way. It
also implies unbounded enthusiasm
and applause. . .
The many excellencies of the sing
ing of John McCormack have been
commented upon so freely in his for
mer visits to Omaha that it hardly
seems fitting to re-enumerate them
here. He is -the ballad singer par
excellence. He sings the heart song,
the folk song and the ballad beauti
fully, simply, and the aria from
Handel and other larger-numbers
simply beautifully; so. beautifully, in
fact, that' the majority of the listen
ers who came especially to hear the
Irish songs and shorter numbers do
not realize that they are listening to
classics. ' '
The remarkable McCormack enun
ciation,, marvelous breath control
and glowing; charm of legato sing
ing which have- :been. noted in his
former concerts were all in evidence,
last evening. Mr. McCormack was
in splendid voice and gave of his best
to the audience, which rewarded
him, as usual, with ovations.
Mr. McCormack's share of the'
program was divided into four
groups. As usual,' these contained
many numbers new to concert-goers.
In the opening number the impres
sive and , rarely heard Handel ''reci
tative and aria from "Imperial Solo
mon," the nicety of phrasing, clear
ness and careful shading were such
as stamp the thorough musician.

OMAHA. SATURDAY JANUARY ' 24,. 192fr.
The long, clear runs with their deli
cate nuances were a delight.
His -second 'group brought iour
charming songs from various com
posers. La Caravane, by Chausson,
a French song in modern French
style, was descriptive and dramatic
and was. moreover, really a duet be
tween the voice and the piano. It
was intensely given. Two English
songs followed, a somewhat com
monplace song with a lovely accom
paniment. "Go Not, Happy Day," by
Hridge, and "When Beauty Grows
Top Great to Bear," by Watts, tine
in sentiment and composition. The
brilliant' L'Alba. Separa of Tosti.
sung with full McCorruack abandon,
completed the group.
"Dear Old Pal ef Mine," "All My
Life Is Empty," and "Roses in Pi
cirdy" followed as encores to this
group. . V
The Irish group included "The
Harp That Once;" "The NexJ Mar
ket Day," in humorous brogue),
"Bindemeers Stream," and "Druim
Donn Declish," the last a most in-!
teresting . song,- dramatically sung.
These songs, it goes without say
ing, were Sung asonly Mr. McCor
mack can sing them. The ovation
wliich followed won no less than
f6ur -encdres songs which ' have
made the ' singer dear to all sorts
of people -"Little Mother o' Mine,"
"Kitty Malonc," "I Hear You Call
ing Me," and Mother Macrae." The
exquisite song of Edwin. Schneider
(Mr. McCormack's accompanist),
with which, the last group opened,
won an: ovation-for the composer
as well .as the singer. It was fol
lowed by-"Thank God for a.Garr
den" and ".Ji! Morn of My De
light," by Lfea Lehmann-7-that thril
ling hit from ."A- Persian Garden."
As if, this were not enough one more'
was' added, a splendid war song,
"The Blind Soldier."
Although .'.'assisting . artist," Mr.'
Wonald McBeath was most enthus
iastically received. This splendid
violinist has appeared here with Mr.
M-cCorrriack on previous occasions.
He plays with-: a resonant, 'broad
tone and has a-most -attractive per
sonality, -His big work -of the even
ing, was in a Ballade, and Polonaise'
by Vjeuxtefnps, after which two .en
cores; were demanded-St. Saens'
"Swan," which Was exquisitely
played, arid" a dainty "Swing Song,"
by Ethel Barnes. -'
So much' has been said of Edwin
Schneider on -previous visits to Om
aha fhat.it is sufficient to say that
the accompaniments as played by
him were, just what. they should fie.

Omaha by Mrs. - A, L. Green, who

"Jack, -the' masher" is being sought

number of complaints were received
last' night that'a young man had. fol

homes and had attempted to pick
an acquaintance, by accosting thetn

homes.
The man is "described as being
about 24 years old, dark curly hair,
smooth shaven and wears a blue au

Police on every beat have been no
