The Den" has been arranged in such
shape that when the May Festival is over,
both artists. orchestras and soloists will
unite in saying that the acoustics were
everything that could be desired. y
The audience will also be gratihed, be-
cause the sounding board is so arranged
that there will not be one spot in the whole
vast area, to which the tone-volume will
not be always accessible. In fact, speaking
from a purely outside point of criticism,
there will not be one flaw or one disad-
Vantageous seat in the entire auditorium.
This, ! consider. is a triumph OF acous-
tical skill.
A "shelI," as we call 1t. in professional
language. has been erected at great ex-
pense, and with wonderful ingenuity, to
throw back the sounds of both orchestra
and chorus, and everything has been hg-
ured out TO a mathematical nicely. Such
is the success of the scheme that when q
local soprano tried the acoustics last week
every tone and every word which she at
tered could be heard distinctly at the end
Of The building. Those who attended the
concerts on the grand plaza Of the Trans
mississippi exposition will remember the
magnificent effects Of the bandstand
erected there; the same results, multiplied
a hundred fold. and minus the noise, will
be experienced at the May festival.

Coming Events.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights Richard
Mansfield will preseht at the Boyd his mas
sive and magnificent production OF Shakes
peare's glorious tragedy, Julius Caesar"
II is said that the tragedy has never been
given with as equal pomp and finer cir
cumstaRces and that Mr.. Mansfield has
never before done anything so fine, either
as actor or producer Of plays. Neither
Richard III, Shylock, Brummel or Cyrano
have given meat for his dramatic genius to
feed upon as has Brutus. The fact is all
the more startling because. until Mansfield
defined the character in his own way, 1t
was not supposed that the role contained
such elaborate opportunities. Mansheld's
Brutus Is a patriot and a patrician whose
imagination becomes imbued with the
monomania for liberty. 1t possesses him
and converts him into q fatalist first and
then a fanatic, who works out the tragic
inevitable through murder, Authorizations
and suicide. Great as is his scene with
the consplrators in his orchard at night, In
the senate on the occasion Of the assassina-
tion, and In the hereculean Grafton to the
mob in the Forum, 1t IL nevertheless in
the quarrel scene, in the encounter with
Caesars ghost and in the death of Brutus
that Mansfield rises to the apex Of his
achievement.
OF course the mobs play an important
part, and Mansfield has provided 300 peo-
pie for the feast Of Lupercal procession.
the Forum scene and the battle scenes at
Phillip. The costumes for Julius
Caesar are said to surpass any ever be-
fore provided by this artist. There are
nine massive and sumptuous pictures Of the
Rome Of the Caesars in Mansneld's revival,
and they were all designed by Sir Alma
Tadema, r. A. The following is the order
Of scenes: A public place in Rome on
the feast Of the Lupereal; the orchard Of
Marcus Brutus at night; In the house OF
Julius Caesar next morning; a market
place; the Roman senate on the occasion
Of the assassination Of Julius Caesar; the
Forum; within the tent OF Marcus Brutus
in camp near Sardis; the wooded plains of
Phillip; the death Of Marcus Brutus. A
special train of ten cars brings Mansfield.

The attraction for this afternoon, to-
night and Monday night at The Boyd will
be Fred Raymond's The Missouri Girl" a
comedy drama bordering on the melo-
dramatic. The scenes of the play are laid
In the state Of Missouri and the Missouri
girl is the central figure about whom the
various episodes and strenuous action of
the piece ~revolve. Sadie Raymond, long
known as a favorite In comedy, melo-drama
and the repertoire, enacts the role OF the
Missouri girl, and her husband, no less
known, will be seen in the leading male
roles. The scenery Is said to have been
painted from actual scenes in Missouri.
One feature Of the. show is the Ozark
quartet, a singing organization said to
possess pleasing voices. The company num-
hers twenty people.

Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-26

The doors Will not be open. any night,
until s o'clock, as there viii be rehearsals
for a couple of hours previous TO opening
each night.
! The concerts will be scheduled to begin
at s:I5 or $50. as the directors may recon-
mend. But It would be advisable for
ticket holders to be in place at the hour
hrst mentioned.
Mr.. Penfold advises me that the season
tickets are going rapidly, and, inasmuch as
these tickets will soon be taken on the
market. I would strongly advise musical
patrons to hurry up and secure the season
tickets, in order 20 avoid spectators, who
are sure to grasp the opportunity 20 corner
the remaining season seats.
OF course. single seats will be sold, But
they will be few in number, Judging from
the demand for the others.
The season ticket costs $3.50. for every
thing, Nordica and De Reszke included AMI
the admission for the night on which these
two great artists sing, will be 50. s. and 81.
Some people have become possessed nf
the idea that the concert OF the 18th. when
Nordica and De Reszke appear. will be the
only attraction OF the series. This is not
correct.
Each Of the concerts has been arranged
so there will be a splendid program for
every evening performance OF the festi-
val. and likewise the Sunday afternoon.
While II is true that Nordiea and
Edouard De Reszke will be the climax Of
the festival. It must not be forgotten that
there will be no complete work presented
at that concert. and Il must be borne Ia
mind that the nights Of Thursday, May 7

A SECRET you SHOULD KNOW.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-26

I have heard pianos and pianos, but Of all
the wretched music boxes that ever insulted
a local audience that Of the Steckelberg
concert was a little the worst. With the
name of the agent in black type on vulgar
cardboard to catch the eye, it was a little
the worst violation Of good taste that has
occurred recently. Had one-half the gold
used in printing the name Of the maker in
letters which could be read q block away
been represented in labor of tuning, etc,
It would have been we'll. 1 complained to
Mr.. Steckelberg about IT, and IL seems
that-but, no matter, there was no excuse.
Miss Hoover was apparently much dis
tressed by a piano stool, also, one Of whose
legs was shorter than it really ought to be.
l cannot be accused OF Partially in this
matter of criticising pianos in public con-
cert work, for my friends, Mr.. Hospe and
Mr.. William Schneider. will remember that
other makes have been spoken Of when
things went wrong.
A city of the size OF Omaha should be
strictly up-to-the-moment in concert pianos.
The makers should furnish them, and they
should be taken care Of by local dealers.
Mr.. Simms, organist and musical director
or All Saints church, has again placed the
Omaha music-lovers and church-goers under
obligation to him by his announcement that
this afternoon he will give a program COM
posed largely of the works of Coleridge-
Taylor, that wonderful African composer.
whose career in London has been meteoric.
Mr.. Coleridge- Taylor is yet a very young
man, and his photograph shows him to be
a veritable negro; in fact, he looks like a
Zulu.
But his music-ah. there is where he
catches the people. There is a wildness, a
daring originality, a spice, a zest to It that
is charming. 1t is wonderfully unique in
construction.
Mr.. Simms has been gracious enough to
present this program of his music at this
particular time, because he believes It will
interest people in the 'Hiawatha's Wedding
Feast" by this composer, which will form
one of the chief attractions Of the May fes-
tival. A very good idea of the style OF the
composer will be had from listening to the
music Of this afternoon. These will be the
numbers presented "Jubilate" in F, THE
Lord is My Strength" 'Elegy'' (organ ysoIo),
by the Waters of Babylon" "Te Deum''

Mr.. Corbip then proceeds to speculate to
some extent as to what sort OF scenic en-
vironment the players OF Shakespeare's
time were accustomed to. 1t is admitted
without dispute that the Inn yards In
which the s~troIlers were won't to give their
productions absolutely preeluded the use
OF scenery, and the auditors we're required
by the very conditions to supply the scene
through Imagination, or to do what SO
many Of the moderns do. 'let It go at
that" But the Globe theater, as judged
from such representations OF II as are ex-
tant. gives external evidence OF a stage
adapted for the handling Of scenery; from
this Mr.. Corbin deduces the conclusion that
some sort OF a scenic adjunct was familiar
TO the players OF that day. His oonciud-
ing sentences are:

RUN DOWN BY AN AUTO.
George Miller Is Badly Injured by a
Reckless Chauffeur.

An automobile operated by a reckless
driverAan over George Miller, an employee
of the Union Transfer and Storage Com
Massachusetts avenue yesterday afternoon
and injured him severely. Miller was taken
to his home in a carriage suffering from
several severe scalp wounds and a badly
crushed foot, but the owner of the automo-
bile that caused the trouble never stopped
to ascertain the extent of his victims in
juries.
The machine was one of the "Red Devil"
type, but bore no initials and was going
so fast that it was impossible for witnesses
to the accident to recognize the driver. Mil
Ter is a teamster for the storage company
and was standing in the street repairing the
harness of his horse, which had broken,
when the unknown chauffeur ran him down.
The police were notified of the accident and
yesterday searched for the owner of the
auto but failed to locate him.
