THE COURIER. Jfcvfc". r ' "v r r c- 1 , .- ; - THE THEATRES. One entertainment at the Fuake aad one at the Lansing comprise the weeks attractioBB at the local theatre. A bet ter showing will be made next week. The war song concert at the Funke Monday evening was enjoyed by a large audience. Selections from war songs were sung by soloists and a large chorus under the direction oC Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond. A feature of the ent ertainment was the drilling by the university cadets aod the Light Infan try company. A considerable sum was turned over to the W. 0. A. as the result of the concert. Apropos of Sousa's forthcoming visit to Lincoln the following interview, pub lished the other day, is of interest: "All music is good when treated well. There is a piece of music we play 'The Critic's Dream. I should like any one to hear that before condemning popular music." "Is it such a beautiful example of the popular style?" was asked. "It is a common little melody 'Annie Rooney of the kind that you hear on hand organs," replied Mr. Sousa, smil ing. "But the man who wrote 'The Critic's Dream' has got it up just as Wagner and Beethoven would have arranged it orchestrally. He has treat ed the little theme classically, and though it is a popular melody, it would bo absurd for critics to turn up their musical noses at it." The bandmaster did not wait to give a definition of a musical nose, for he was evidently started on a pet subject, and went on without a pause, Baying: "Look at the 'Meistersinger.' No one would accuse Wagner of being unclass ical when he wrote it, and yet one cf the leading melodies of the opera is, 'Where did you get that hat?' I mean what I say, and if anyone doubts it let him look through the score; he will find it. There is a theme in 'Lohengrin' that 'Oh! what a difference in the morning' is almost identical with, and though peo ple do not accuse Gounod of being es pecially r opular, the -Soldiers' Chorus' from 'Faust' has caught on immensely to the words, 'Oh, my, we'll never get drunk any more." "Now you can take a catchy little tune like 'Daisy Bell' and treat it as you would a child of the slums wash its face, put on it a new frock, and it is found to have lost its identity, just as the catchy air, if you treat it classically, loses its iden tity." "And the new opera which you are expected to be writing," asked the re porter, "is it treated classically?" No; it is very, very comic," replied Mr. Sousa. "At least my librettist and I think so, though we do not know whether a long-suffering public will agree with us. It is called 'El Captain,' and will be produced in New York. Beyond that I can say nothing, except that I hope to finish it here." Canary & Lederer's "The Passing Show," will'come to the Lansing theatre May 24. The company will include John E. Henshaw, Charles J. Roes, Geo. A. Schiller, William Cameron, Seymour Hess, E. S. Tarr, Gus Pixley Vernona Jarbeau, Lucy Daly, Madge Mag, Minnie Miller, Lida Lear aad La Petite Adelaide, the child dancer. "Side Tracked" was presented at the LaBsing- theatre last evening. There is some catchy music in 'Our Flat." Lillian Lewis will not appear in Lin coln after all. Her season ended prematurely. The name Tisso is not, or rather was not, particularly well known in this country; but Tisso's company has this year won much fame in its American tour, and it is generally agreed that it represents the latest and best in Euro pean vaudeville. The performers are all foreigners, and American audiences are given the same entertainment that the same company lately put before the peo ple of Paris and London. The enter tainment resembles in character that given by the Hopkins' Trans -Atlantic company, with which patrons of vaude ville are familiar. It is, in short, a high class specialty show, with many per formers whose names ars well known on the other side of the Atlantic, if not on this. A feature of Tisso's production which will come to the Funke next Wednesday night, is the living pictures. Xhese pictures are given with the same elaborateness that has characterized their production in New York, and the people of Lincoln may expect to see living pictures that are in all artistic respects quite up to date and equal to anything yet seen in this country. A notable event of the coming week will be the production of Mrs. Mus grave's latest musical comedy, "Our Flat." Miss Emily Bancker will present "Our Flat" at the Lansing on next Mon day evening, May 13th. The story in brief is as follows; A very successful dramatic author falls in love with the daughter of a rich man. They are mar ried without the father's knowledge or consent, and of course are thrown upon their own resources. They begin life in a flat-house and furnished on the install ment plan. All goes happily until their slender income is exhausted; then their troubles begin. The Hat is over-run with creditors, the butcher, baker, etc., refuse further supplies; cook gives notice and the dressmaker threatens kADIES NEGK WEAR FOR HIRT WA1WT1 The Latest and Most Chic" Styles. GENTS CLOTHING AND FURNISHINGS. As now arranged "Trilby" will come to the Lansing theatre May 29. Next Wednesday Edouard Remenyi, the Hungarian violinist, will revisit Lincoln. His concert will be given at the Funke this year Remenyi's mas tery of his art is well known to all music lovers. His style is peculiarly his own, and to many, doubly enjoyable on that account. Remenyi arranges his pro grams in such a manner that the ordin ary audience can appreciate and enjoy the music. The violinist is assisted this year by a well known pianist and vocalist who are given an adequate share of the evening's program. No musician who visits Lincoln is better known here than Remenyi; he needs no introduction; he is sure to be accorded the customary warm reception. Mothers should see our line of boys suits.

At this point the father-in-law appears at the Hat with the inten tion of relenting, but unfortunately is mistaken for a money lender by the young husband who has never seen hiiu before. The young man proceeds to ask for a loan, and at the same time express es his opinion of the father-in law to the supppsed money lender. The old gentle man leaves without making himself known, but gives him a small sum of money. To make matters worse, half of this money is loaned to a friend of the young husband to get married on, and his bride turns out to be another daugh ter of the old gentleman. In the mean time the wife of tho young dramatic author has written a comedy, which is a complete sketch of the ludicrous in cidents of her married life, and she makes her father the principal charac ter. The play is accepted and produced by a most successful manager who is to call upon the author (whom he thinks is a man) to settle upon a price. Just as he is expected, the furniture com pany, having failed to receive their last installment, have all the furniture re moved from the flat, which leaves the young wife with an empty room in which to receive her visitor. She fur nishes her room in a most artistic fashion out of old boxes, baskets and kitchen ut-nsils with the aid of cur tains and draperies. The manager calls and mistakes the mistress for the ser vant and the servant for the mistress of the flat; to add to the complications, the husband of the other daughter has an entanglement with a woman who hreatens him with a suit for a breach of promise. He is pursued by her, when he'discovers that his father-in-law in tends to marry her which will make hia would-be wifo his own mother-in-law. Everything becones clear in the last act both young couples being forgiven and tho wife's play is a great success. Sousa's band will come to tho Lansing theater Tuesday afternoon May 14. With Sousa this year are Mario Barnard, soprano, and Carrie Duke, violinist, tho daughter of General Basil Duke, of Kentucky. NOTICE TO NONRESIDENT DEFENDANTS. First Publication April 27.
