new play, Is modelled on the experiences Of

special fascination for Grigsby as it did for
the immortal Lincoln. In this character Mr..
Russell, who has summoned all his ability
as a delineator Of the homely side Of life,
has made a genuine success.

MUSIC.


That Omaha has the reputation Of having
good music in most Of her churches IL
proved by the frequency Of compliments
from visiting musical people who happen to
be at the regular Sunday services. Tha,
one NAV chance to enter an Omaha church
and be entertained by a musical service OF
a high order without any special announce
ment being made beforehand that special
music would be given is a fact worth notice
The churches in which good music OF a
religious order Is used deserve congratu-
~lations, and 1t Is to the churches which one
must look nowadays for the support and
elevation Of the cause Of music. There are
actually a couple Of hundred singers en-
gagged locally In the service Of the temple
and many a good singer has received his
start on the road to fame through the
medium OF the church choir.
The clergyman who realizes the power OF
music, whether it be in a fine anthem, a
we'll written ''Te Deum,' a sympathetic solo
or a rousing congregational hymn, has
done something for the advancement OF
art and has assisted himself by adding to
his service an inspiration which does not
detract from his power, but rather serves
to set him off to advantage. The clergy
man who refuses to recognize the effects Of
good music on his congregation not only
weakens his own magnetism, but imperils
the success of his church.
The people are appealed to by music as by
nothing else, and a congregation which has
been induced to make melody in their
hearts and practice 1t with their lips will
doubtless be prepared to receive the seed
sown by the clergyman, and which we are
told should not be scattered on stony places
or among thorns.
The selection Of church music Is therefore
a most important mission. Many a good
sermon has been spoiled by an inappropriate
musical selection which has followed, and
many weak sermons have been atoned for
by the thrilling psalmody at the close.
Church music should be chosen with refer
ence to the service of the church In which it
Is to be sung. A digniled Episcopal con-
gregation would not be pleased by the in
PRODUCTION Of a male quartet singing an
adaptation Of some we'll known air. to sa-
cred words, neither would q suburban
chapel, where the congregation Is largely
composed of laboring people, be entertained
Gregorian tone.
A mistake is made somtimes by forcing
an appetite for classic music where there
is no inclination for the higher plane. AL
most any congregation may be educated to
the best Of music, II the course is gradual.
Interest Of a decided nature taken by the
clergyman in the work Of the choir will
stimulate the choristers to further effort.
The congregation should be required to do

At Boyd's for three performances, begin
ming with a matinee today. will be presented
one OF Hoyt's farce comedies, "a Contented
Woman" The piece. like all Of Mr.. Hoyt's
plays, s~atirizes something and the some
thing this time Is the much-talked-of New
Woman" who thinks that In politics she is
able to cope successfully with the sterner
sex. How she goes to work and the success
OF her attempt is brought out with all the
keen wit and native humor which distin-
guishes all the works Of this writer Of farce
comedy. The cast will be much the same as
last seen here. Miss Belle Archer will be
seen in the leading role; John l.. Kernel,
Bonnie Lottie. Henrietta Lee. c. P. Morri-
son. Arthur Buckouse. and others of the
leading lights have been retained, while the

engagement Of Fanny Denham Rouse, Arthur

dams. Prof. Leonidas' cats and dogs are
said TO be endowed with almost human in
stinct. They do everything, dance. count.
do somersaults, parachute jumping and q
hundred and one other things.
The costumes Of the Deltorellis are one OF
the features Of their acts. All the strange
fantastic and wonderful people seen in
children's fairy tale picture books are de-
picted In their costumes. Their playing on
a number Of musical instruments as strange
as their costumes Is said to be another
feature.
The act Of De Haven and Bonnie Maie,
two children, will doubtless prove to be one
Of the big hits Of the bill. These little
people, scarcely In their teens, do a singing,
dancing and cake walking act. The cas-
tuning Of their act is said to call for almost
as much attention as the act itself. Dimin-
utive Bobby Ralston. the dwarf comedian.
should prove a big ~favorite with the audi
ence. Ralston Is no taller than one of the
Rossow midgets, but has the body and head
Of a very big man. His size and comical
