THECOUKIBK. 1 Tho next attraction following "A Bowery Girl" at tho Lansing will bo Prof. Herbert T. Flint, the hypnotist who will commence a week's engage ment Sept. 2. Pror. Flint has appeared in Lincoln several times and is well re msnibered. "Cbimmio Faddon" is only one of a great many literary and theatrical mani festations for which "the bowery" is responsible, tho most dreadful of which is, perhaps, the plays in tho class with "A Bowery Girl," which was the open ing attraction at Boyd's in Omaha and tho Lansing theatre this week. "A Bowery Girl" opened at Boyd's Sun day night and came to Lincoln for one performance Wednesday. "A Bowery Girl" was presented with the following cast: Ernest Halcombe H. A. Burkhardt A. young clerk Nicholas Franklin Mark W. Cody An unscrupulous lawyer Patrick Haitian Geo. W.Thompson Ruler of the 4th ward Cesca Bertolina Edward Clifton An Italian padrone Swipesey John Daly A Bowery boy Augustus Hopfbrauer....Andy Amann Son of a rich brewer with a lik ing for thesociety of the Bowery Ah You Ed. Coles A Bowery Chinaman Officer R. II. Wilson Nora Hallinan Clara Thropp A leader in Bowery society Maggie Morrison Emma Sardou On the Bowery under crust Alicia Bertolina Helen Jones Wife of Cesca Agnes DeLorme Mamie Ryan A lost heiress Mrs. Franklin Georgie Lester A neglected wife Mabel Little Jess Her child Besides the people, there is some Bowery scenery, Bowery slang and Bowery songs. I beliere it was said in the advertisements that some of the members of the company were taken from the Bowery. I am not disposed to doubt the truth of this assertion. Clara Thropp, familiar to those people who remember Neil Burgess' "County Fair," and the recent Hallen & Hart vis itation, has a degree of cleverness, and her capacity extends beyond the possi bilities of "A Bowerj Girl." Andy Amann's efforts gave life and same in terest to the performance. The formal opening of the Lansing will be deferred until September 10, when Mr. Church's "Faust" company will give one performance. Word was received from John Griffith this week. He will arrive in Lincoln, with the re mainder of the company, September 1, when rehearsals will commence. Charles Frohman's Empire Theatre company which opened the Creighton Theatre in Omaha Thursday night, with "The Masquerade," will present "Liberty ' Hall" at the matinee this afternoon, and tonight the bill will be "Sowing the Wind." . "The Masqtteradert" was presented to a brilliant aueUeac at the opening of the Creighton Theatre Thursday even ing. The vivid scene at the opening of the Boyd several years age, when "Ala bama" was given, was recalled. In the Empire Theatre cumsaay are Henry Miller, William Feversham, J. E. Dod son, Robert Eaeeon, W. H. Crompton, Joseph Humphreys, E. T. Backus, J. E. Finney, Viola Allen, Ida Conquest, May Robson, Genevieve Reynolds and Ellen Gail. Seldom is a more notable cosapaay than this seen so far away from New York as Omaha. The play is by Henry Arthur Jones, and is a powerful dramatic story. In the third act iB one of the most striking and effective scenes to be found anywhere in current theatrical production. A wife and child are staked against $1,000,000. Sir Brice Skene has ruined himself on tho turf and he desires hi3 wife to borrow money from David Rcmon, an astronomer. In the third act she haB borrowed 0,000. Skene appears and discovers his wife and Rcmon making the usual protestations of affection. He suggests to Rcmon that they play the stake to bo his, Skene's, wife and child against Dave iJcmou' 200,000. They play and Sir Brice loses. The play is exquisitely acted throughout. Lottie Collins, who is in London, has made another hit with a song which promises to become another "Tarara-boom-de-ay" for her. It is called "I Went to Paris wi'h Papa," and posses ses a jingle which seemB to have made the aural tympanum of the Britons vibrate vigorously. The chorus goes: 1 went to Paris with papa, to see what kind tho Frenchmen are. Such fanny ways t hoy 'to sot, which English men have not. Yon really should to Paris go; you learn so Tory much, you know. 1 saw a lot in Paris that they never taught at school. Her arch ways seem to have caught the English public, who have forgiven her for her temporary desertion of the land of her birth, while she played hav oc with that dreadful tara-ra through out this country. A New York writer says: James Cor bett may be a very bad husband. It is exceedingly likely that he is, for he has learned how to be bad in that very ex cellent and thorough Bchool the stage. He may have been unduly intimate with the lady known as Vera. More unlikely things have been heard of in this extra ordinary world. He may have neglected pretty Ollie Lake Corbett, and brought tho tears of distress to her eye the eye that wasn't turned to business. He may have grown purse-proud, overbearing, arrogant and domestically pugilistic for such a case would be perfectly with in the bounds of possibility. But in spite of all these damning suggestions, these horribles hints of an insidious mental deterioration, my heart went out to him in sympathy when I learned that Mrs. Corbett, at the divorce bearing, ap peared in a neat shirt waist, with dia mond solitaires in her ears, a chatelaine and watch pinned to her waist, and a belt of open-work gold. To a man of Corbett's refinement this must have been gall and wormwood. Think of having to pass your life with a woman who in tha morning will sport a neat shirt waist and diamoni earnings. NOTES AND QUERIES Beginning next week The Courier will publish a Notes and Queries column. There may be a few questions con cerning etiquette that the editor of this department cannot answer properly. But there are persons in this city who cannot be puzzled by any question of good form. These people have consent ed to aid the editor of this column when the window sticks. When people who have made a life time study of conven tion consent to give to others the results of it, it is worth while accepting their offer. After all convention is a protect ion evolved in the alow development from savagery. It is the difference between borrowing and stealing. When prehistoric man granted anything that his neighbor had he took it if he were big enough; if not he stole it The modern requests the loan of any desired article in language elegant enough to effect its immediate transfer. It is the purpose of The Courier to disseminate, increase a knowledge of the polite arts so that in these dull times articles and cash may circulate (and be returned). Thus the place will have an air of great activity, and encourage the real thing to settle here. There are other questions concerning the traditions of the state, county and city that may take more time to answer but they will surely be answered. The state historical society is a constantly increasing source of source of supply. And there are many old residents whose memories are libraries of the infant ways and saying of the early Nebras kans. So just ask us a few questions anyone in the audience please.
