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.
