songs. You are not thinking OF the scene,
Of your acting. Of your costume. Your en-

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM

The annual reunion Of the Masons of the
Scottish rite held last week was one of the
most successful Of any in the history Of
the order. At the opening Of The re-
union forty-two applicants appeared for
initiation into the rites Of the Lodge Of
Perfection, while on the way they were
Joined by several who had taken the lower
degrees of the rite and other candidates
dropped out until there were thirty-eight
remaining to take the thirty-second de-
gree, which was conferred Friday after
noon.
The brilliant part of the reunion occurred
Friday night, when the banquet, at which
more than 100 members of the order were
seated, was spread. There had been be-
tween the publication of the original pro-
gram and the serving Of the feast a change
In the persons who were to respond to
tcasts and as finally carried out the order

in Pythlan circles. Some time ago a body
Of some forty knights visited Omaha from

to do so was accepted by Nebraska lodge

Al this reunion the degrees of the rite we're
conferred upon one Of the oldest Masons
In the state, and probably one of the old
est to receive these degrees IN the country,
Judge Eben X. Long. There are older men
in the order than Judge Long, and there
are probably in the state men as old who
have received the degrees of the rite, but
there is none so far as known who re-
ceived after reaching Judge Longs age.

Wednesday, April 1, the county camp OF
the Modern Woodmen of America will meet
at Omaha for the purpose Of electing dele
gates from the several camps Of the city
and an equal number OF a~lternates will be
largely represented. The Douglas county
delegation stands against any change in the
existing rates Of insurance, at least until
after further Investigation.
There will be a little fight, which 1t is
understood is already settled SO far as the
result locally is concerned between A. r.
Talbot of Lincoln and ]. G.. Johnson Of
Kansas, who are candidates for the ONCE
Of supreme consul. The Nebraska man will
meet with considerable opposition in his
own state, for the reason that he is the
choice Of the present head camp officers,
and is suspected of being in favor OF the
committee report which suggested a change
in the rate Of insurance. While the cham
pions Of Mr.. Johnson will make a contest
in the state, a majority of the members
believe that state pride at least will cause
the entire state delegation to the head
camp to line up solidly behind the Ne
braska mar.
There are several candidates from Omaha
for the position of delegate to the head
camp and It is possible that the election Of
delegates to the state camp will be infu-
enced to a considerable extent by these oan-
didates.

Mr.. Rosenbecker has many friends in
Omaha who remember very distinctly his
beautiful work with the Chicago symphony
orchestra, and l know that he will be earn
estly appreciated. His orchestra will come
to us fresh from a tour through the prin-
cipal cities OF Canada, where the conduc-
tors desk will in many instances be occu-
pied by the celebrated English musician
who comes over specially for the Canadian
festival-Sir Alexander C. Mackenzie. The
selection Of Mr.. Rosenbecker's Chicago
symphony orchestra for such an important
tour is sufficient guaranty OF it's ability and
merits.

Il was my privilege to accidentally meet
Mr.. Adolph Rosenbecker, conductor Of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra. in the office
OF the Bureau OF Fine Arts, Chicago, last
week. and he assured me that he is going
to give the Omaha musical people some
treats. Among these will be one or two
numbers which will be OF especial interest.

the people would like, l assured him that
any programs made by hIm-a past master
in the art Of program making-would be
accepted graciously by Omaha people, and
he said, We'll. they are discriminating and

In a large measure this conclusion Is ac-
eurate, but that Il is logically correct seems
debatable. Instead OF the actor giving the
solor OF his own personality to the different

Of the true artist to discover the real color
Of the character he is supposed 10 assume
and conform his individuality 10 that? One
Of the unpleasant features OF the American
stage has been Of late years. that people
have been going to see the player rather
than the play. II has been the same man
or the same woman doing the same thing
In the same way. the chief and often the
only difference In the parts being the name
on the bill. Each OF these several individ-
uals Is entertaining in his or her own way,
yet neither OF them has attained any meas
ure OF real greatness by a persistent repeti.
ton OF the mannerisms and expressions
whereby they Won their hrst success. To
some extent the play writers have been re-
sponsible for this, for they have written
plays to NJ these stars even as their tailors
and dressmakers have furnished them coats
