MUSIC.
kaE,aTnrggalzr1Eia

1t has been so often proved that the people
Of Omaha are fond Of good band music that
1t is a singular fact that Omaha has not a
first-class band of its own.
A few gentlemen had conversation with
Mr. Bellstedt at the Her Grand hotel a few
weeks ago, and in discussing this subject
several names were mentioned of people
who would willingly make donation or say
$50 or Sl00 year toward the organization
of a first-class body of instrumentalists.
This may seen rather rose-tinted view
of the case, but it should not be. Many
rich men in Chicago donate large sums of
money to the Chicago orchestra fund, and
there are rich men in Omaha who would
be likely to do so for the accrung pleasure
to their families, their friends and them
selves.
Then there are many who would be glad to
do their share by taking yearly tickets for
So S15 or $50.
The fund should be managed by COM
mittee OF men who would be willing to de-
vote a little time to it. They would first
engage the services of some frst-class and
reliable man, like Bellstedt, for instance,
and then let him arrange for the engage
ment of the musicians, being responsible for
the musical part only, the committee to pay
all salaries, or have manager to do So as
well as to arrange for dates in the season
when the band could be spared
The results, in the way OF advertising
Omaha would be healthy. There could be no
more effective way of advertising the town
than by having fine band make it's western
tour annually, and a shrewd manager would
arouse great attention to the merits of the
city.
By these western tours a handsome in
crease could be made in the finances, and
the music fund could be largely enriched
by competent business management.
A field for such a scheme exists in Omaha
The western country is practically bandess,
as ii were, and If fine organization could be
found in the very gates of the west, much
business could easily be obtained by simply
working it up,
1t costs a lot OF money TO transport a band
of say forty pieces from the east and this
expense must be added to the legitimate
price of the entertainment afforded band
stationed here would have the advantage
over all competitors, that is OF course pro-
vided that the conductor was one of well
known ability. and one who could demand
attention all over the country by his writ
ings, arrangings, etc.
That 1t would be patronized by the people
of Omaha has been proved beyond all doubt
by the success obtained by all bands visit
ing the expositions. and notably by the
bodies of musicians under the leadership of
Fred ~ Innes at the Transmssissppi, and
Herman Bellstedt at the Greater America.
For instance. 10 resort to cold figures. Let
us throw out the afternoon Exposition con-
certs, excepting Sunday. That makes total
of eight concerts. These eight concerts
each have an attendance of say 24OO people
and that is easily low figure. The result
is actually l9200 people in one week, and
that at 25 cents a head, which was
the gate admission would aggregate
81, 500 per week. Anyone who has visited
the Exposition just closed will at once admit

There is no doubt that De Angels has
permanent hold on the affections OF those

logical sequence of a career ripened by
application to wide range OF comic opera

Always Of interest to playzoers. and to
many others for that matter, is the story
Of how any we'll known star happened to
go upon the stage. Especially interesting
is Miss Benefits story, told by herself as
follows:
Left an orphan when very young, l was
adorted by Mrs. Bennett, a wealthy New
York widow. When II years old / was
sent to one OF the well known aristocratic
schools for girls to finish my e1ucation
was not allowed to know what 1t was to
want for anything and had everything nee
essary to lead swagger seminary life and
to travel with a set composed Of girls of
the first families OF New York Mrs. Ben
nett died few years later and left her
money all to me. No guardian was APP
pointed and the will stated that the money
was to be put into my hands for imme-
date use. i did not have a single rea-
tive and you can imagine my predicament.
However, l went to live with a friend of
Mrs Benefits, who was very strict in
her religious belief. had been allowed
to live a free and easy life and now | was
compelled to observe all the strict rules
of the Sabbath. This soon became tiresome
10 me. l spent my money rapidly and
foolishy and 1t soon vanished. Tiring Of
my place of abode consulted some OF my
college chums and one Of them advised me
to go on the stage. The notion struck me
and applied for position and got 1t. This
was eleven years ago, and here / am to-
day.
How did I come to follow the fashion Of
men in dress? Well, l realized that now
adays IL an actress wants to be successful
she must be talked about"
Among the latest Nebraska aspirants for
histrionic laurels is Miss Pauline Maude
Oakley of Lincoln. now singing with the
Castle Square Opera company in Chicago.
Under the stage name of Margaret Owen
she is fast forging Ito the front and the
indications are that she will soon be sing
ing leading roles. Miss Oakley has for
some time been the understudy of Mary
Carington, the leading lady. She has
rich soprano voice and sings with fine feel
ing and dramatic force. Her studies were
finished in Paris, where she spent year
with good teachers. She has many personal
charms. Her figure gives her a fine stage
presence and she has a beautiful face
framed in luxuriant brown hair tinged with
gold In Lincoln Miss Oakley was always
a prime favorite not only on the concert
stage but in society as well.
