Since the giving Of the first enter

citizens Of Abilene and surrounding
country have looked forward with a
great deal of interest to each recur.
ring anniversary, assured Of the fact
that it would be both instructive and
entertaining. The entertainment
last night was hugely enjoyed by a
full house and none went away be-
cause Of their expectations not being
realized.
Bessie Kayanaugh" is an Irish
drama and truly depicts the hard
ships endured by the peasantry at
the hands Of the landlords and the
English landholders. There are
many bright and happy passages in
the scenes which somewhat relieve
the tension to which the nerves are
strung in the more tragic parts. The
repartees were very strong, being
charged with genuine Irish wit which
is noted the world over for its strong
points.
The following was the cast Of char

Miss Maggie McCool, who made one

Miss Julia McInerney, as Harry
Kayanaugh, the hero Of the drama,
Fhad very difficult part to act but
she did credit to her natural ability
and striking manner.
Stephen Purcell, the heavy villain
role, was ably carried out by Miss
Edna Lee, whose clear resonant tones
gave deeper meaning to the many
plots woven around her enemies.
Miss Stella Collins as Bessie Kav-
anaugh had hard part to fill, which
she did with much credit. Miss Iona
Sem, daughter Of Hon. M. Sem Of
Enterprise, made many admirers by
the manner in which she rendered
the character Of Kathleen Grace.
The entire play was evenly per-
formed and the Irish brogue, used to
perfection by most Of the players,
made some Of the audience think they
were back on the could sod"

no exception. Everybody went ex-

the assertion that none were disap-
pointed. The costumes were gotten
up entirely by the Sisters and were
decidedly becoming The tableaux
also were beautiful and well pre-
sented.

law appears at the Hat with the inten-
ton Of relenting, but unfortunately is
mistaken for a money lender by the
young husband who has never seen him
before. The young man proceeds to ask
for loan, and at the same time express
es his opinion of the father-in law to the
supposed 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 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 the young dramatic
author has written comedy, which is
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

Apropos Of Sopsa's forthcoming visit
to Lincoln the following interview. pub
l'shed the other day. is Of interest:
"All music is good when treated we'll.
There is piece Of music we play-'The
Critics Dream / should like any one
to hear that before condemning popular
music"
lis it such beautiful example Of the
popular style?" was asked.
1T is 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
Critics 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 popular melody, it would
be absurd for critics to turn up their
musical noses at it."
The bacdmaster did not wait to give
a definition of a musical nose, for he
was evidently started on a pet subject,
and went on without pause, saying:
Look at the 'Meistersinger' No one
would accuse Wagner of being unclass-
ical when he wrote it, and yet one CT the
leading melodies Of the opera is, Where
did you get that hat?' I mean what
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-
pie do not accuse Gourod of being es-
pecially popular, 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 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 classicaily, loses it's iden-
tity."
"And the new opera which you are
expected to be writing" asked the re-
porter. sis it treated classically?'
mo; it is very. very comic" replied
Mr.. Sousa. AT least my librettist and
l think 80, though we do not know
whether a long suffering public will
agree with us. 1t is called Ell Captain
and will be produced in New York.
Beyond that can say nothing, except
that hope to finish it here"

Next Wednesday Edouard Remenyi.
the Hungarian violinist, will revisit
Lincoln. His concert will be given at
the Funke this year. Remenyis mas
terry 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 manner that the ordin-
airy audience can appreciate and enjoy
the music. The violinist is assisted
this year by a we'll known pianist and
vocalist who are given an adequate
share Of the evenings 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.
