MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
:....::...n q ......:....:

The general and increasing popularity of
May Irwin was again emphasized at the
Grand yesterday afternoon when this clev-
er and in many respects delightful come
dienne opened her second engagement as
a star in this city. She reappeared in THE
Widow Jones'" in which she was immense
ly popular last season, and which is a
very laughable AIcNally comedy. 1t was
written for Miss Irwin. who has a strong
individuality and who must be supplied
with plenty OF slang repartee and a few
good situations. and with plenty of time on
the stage. She will do the rest There is
no other comedienne of this time who in
fuses her work with the apparent zest
that the public finds in Miss Irwin's act
ing. She wins first by her own enthusi-
asm, which is never gushing. but which
glows with spirit and merriment and she
sustains interest continually by avaiIins
herself of every point the play and the
audience give her. Her fun is infectious
and no one is invulnerable. The audi
ence yesterday seemed to know what it
was there for and was bent on thoroughly
enjoying a favorite. John c. Rice, a come
dien who knows the distinction between
eccentriCity and burlesque. is retained for
Billy Bike, and adapts himself to Miss
lrWins requirements even more effectively
than did fat Peter Daley. The company
is almost precisely the same as that of a
year ago. 1t is a matter of congratula-
ton that Ada Lewis is retained for any,
one else in the role of Felicity Jones would
be disappointing. 1t is to be hoped that
this gifted and conscientious artist may
some day have sufficient scope to really in
dicate her powers. Her work in the new
play to be given this week will be watched
with interest. Among the talented people
who make up the remainder of the cast
are Joseph VI. Sparks. Sally Cohen Hattie
Williams, George W. Barnun, Roland Car
ter, Charles Church, Margery Teal and
John James Jones. Miss Irwin sings sew
eral negro songs IN hec inimitable man
ner; Mr. Rice and Miss Cohen give their
startling dance, and, in addition to some
other excellent individual specialties, the
ensemble music is well done and the girls
look pretty and dress we'll
The Widow Jones' is pretty breezy and
sometimes suggestive. but it would pass
for an exceptionally bright and no doubt
harmless entertainment but for the dis
gustingly slobbery love making of Miss
Irwin and Mr.. Rice in the last act. A
woman as clever as Miss Irwin does not
need TO resort to this sort of thing.

be succeeded by "Courted Into Court"

This weeks attraction at the Ninth
Street opera house is likely to prove very
popular. It is Gus Hills Novelties. The
week opened yesterday afternoon with a
large audience and last night the theater
was crowded to Its capacity. The organi-
cation is familiar one and yet it changes
in features from year to year and has
much that is new each successive season.
The strongest specialties at present are
LadelI and Alvers. in an acrobatic. dane
ing and singing sketch, in which there is
a laughable mingling of the versatile tai
ents of two clever people; Leonard and
Bernard. in a rough. occasionally coarse.
but very amusing sketch: Frank Latona.

the grand achievements of organized labor.
But, you say, organized labor goes on
a strike. Yes, know it sometimes does.
And pray, who does not sometimes go on d
strike? Strikes are not always wrong.
But how shall we proceed with the
great work Of Christian civilization? We
have seen the two great essential forces
to our future progress, capital and labor,
and they confront each other, and many
good people fear that conditions will bid
them grappie. How to harmonize these
forces IS the greatest question in the
world to-day.
Let Us hastily look at three propositions
of. the argument tonight and see if we
cannot find the cause and source of all
this friction in society.
First, there Is the proposition that all
mankind is seeking happiness; second, that
the happiness which all are seeking is de-
percent upon the creation and distribu-
ton of wealth; third, that the law of econ
omy in the production and distribution of
wealth must Of necessity tend to reduce
all the elements of cost to a minimum.
Whence the Trouble Comes.
'T ask you, is it not apparent that our
troubles come from the application Of this
raw of economy in production and distri-
button OF wealth?
You cannot tear down this law of econ
oniy. 1t must go on reducing time and
is no going hack to the wooden mold
board plow and reap hook on the score
that it viii give labor TO a larger number
or more labor TO all.
One Solution of the Problem.
There IS but ore solution to the prob
lem. You must find a method of applying
this law Of economy, under which it Will
be blessing to all and injury to none;
and now l want to tell YOU You can do
that; you can do that through Christian
socialism. So long as one individual fur
nishes the employing capital TO employ an
other. just so long will the law of econ
omy in production and distribution operate
against the employed.
1T is useless to cry out against the
greed of wealth, for there are no limits to
human desire, and for that reason there
can be no limits to so-called greed of
wealth. Institute Christian socialism. Let
the active employing capital be held and
operated in the sacred name of all with
universal benefits TO all. Then you can ap-
ply the law of economy in the production
and distribution of that which underlies
the happiness of all without injury to any.
Then organized wealth and organized la
Dor will no longer disturb the peace of
society. The human drift is all in that
direction now and all should unite in hast
ening its growth.
ITO organized labor in whose thousand
council chambers this philosophy of life is
taught, 1 give my heart and hand. For
its every grief I have a tear; for its every
promise 1 have a hope. From the evils
of our competitive system I turn to wei
come all the promises of the coming
Christian cooperative commonwealth OF
man"
Next Sunday night Judge f. L. Scarritt
will speak upon the subject: Trusts, Their
Benefits and Evils" and the following Suns

Ice Floating Down the Missouri,

One of the effects of the warm weather
was seen yesterday in the large amount
of ice that was floating down the Missouri
river. During the cold weather large for
nations of ice gathered in the river here
and further up stream and when the tenn
perature rose so rapidly it broke up and
yesterday the river was flied with it
There was also a noticeable quickening
of the current and the ice went down
stream at a rapid rate. 1t was still run

Another delightful Sunday concert was
given at the Academy of Music yesterday
afternoon by the Philharmonic orchestra
As whole, the programme was not 50
well chosen as some others, but in the
main it was well played and it gave evi-
dent satisfaction to the large audience. 1t
opened with Svendsens Coronation
March, which is martial in spirit, but too
insistently declamatory to ever become
great favorite. Aubers overture La
Muette de Portico." is a composition of
life and color and was very expressively
played. The orchestral feature was the
"Freischutz' overture, although the most
popular number was, as usual, the string
music, which, in this instance. was Czi-
bulka's intermezzo, which is both familiar
and beautiful. 1t was necessary to re-
peat this number. Two pieces of character
music of great beauty were the Neapolitan
and Spanish parts of Rubinstein's Bal
Costume"
The soloist was Mr. Francois Boucher
who played Leonard's concerto. Mr.
Boucher's reputation in Kansas City is so
well established that it cannot be impaired
by the fact that he was not at his best
in this instance. His playing lacked clear
ness of enunciation and he was especially
unfortunate in his selection of an encore
number.
