What is Going on in the Stage World Briefly Told

some pretty complicated effects are
achieved. There are, for example. such
hings as Patrick Henry" a drama re-
nacting history. showing st. Johns
! Iurch, Richmond. Va. 1775. with the Vlr-
/ sinia convention Of that year in session
and the immortal orators eloquent speech
eliminating in "Give me liberty or give
me death" Present are George Washing
ton, Richard Henry Lee and a score of
other notable historical personages. Runs
seven minutes.
Then there is "fngomar." a forceful
episode from the m classic, reveal
ing the beautiful love story of the half
barbarian giant and the dainty Parthenia.
Runs ten minutes.
II you are after operetta you may have
" The Mikado,' the entire opera condensed
with striking ingenuity into two tuneful
and merry acts, one running eighteen and
another nineteen minutes. Produced with
a cast OF well-known opera singers, elabo-
rate costumes and scenery, orchestra, big
choruses." etc.
or If you are after something that is
both new and dramatic, why there's " The
sword Of Rome featuring the world
famous tragedlan, Mr.. ]. Montgomery Irv-
ing with a superb supporting company"
ANY OF these acts, including the films,
the phonograph attachment. the whole
machine In fact, the complete show, can
be packed into boxes for shipment to any
part OF the country. If the theater has
the machine already the films and records
can be shipped by themselves.
The cause Of the flicker, though every
body has been annoyed by 1t, is little I'M
d~erstood by the general spectator. It re-
suits from the use of a device to conceal
the downward movement of the picture
film as it passes before the strong light
that throws the picture on the screen.
To conceal this movement a shutter Is
used which alternately covers and un-
covers the filrn with the greatest rapidity.
Various attempts have been made to avoid
It's results. The shutter has been divided
into smaller shutters and subdivided, but
though the flicker has become less annoy
ing, 1t is still there.
The reproduction Of the various voice
records is an interesting part of the whole
process. They are originally made on wax
rolls. The record is made by a chemical
process etched on the insides of copper
cylinders.
Inside these copper cylinders hot wax Is
poured. When the wax has cooled 1t is
withdrawn in the shape of a wax cylinder

ture records, being merely a series of pho
~tographs, are printed like any other
photographs.
The extraordinary vogue of the moving
picture entertainment with it's accompani-
ment of Photographic reproductions of the
human voice has resulted in the springing
up OF a series Of related business ventures
nearly as widespread as the original bust
ness Itself. There is a regular literature
OF moving pictures now with booking Of
fices and all kinds of side issues.

Minna Gales Return to the Stage

Der the sensation created by the is
year-old girl who became leading woman
for the worlds foremost tragedian
within a year OF her stage debut. From
1881 to Booths last public appearance
in May, 1891. at the Academy Of Music
In Brooklyn, Miss Gale rendered. the
great actor worthy support, never miss
ing a single performance. She was most
admired for her Portia, her Ophelia, her
Lady Macbeth and her Parthenia in
'Ingomar."
Fol a considerable portion Of Miss
Gales period as leading woman for
Booth the latter was associated with
Barrett, as we'll as other stars above
mentioned. AS a matter of fact, Miss
Gales debut was made in 1886 as a mem
Der of Lawrence Barrett's company, and
she Joined Booth at the time the famous
combination was made. The virtue of
that all-star aggregation AS a training
school is attested by the worthy achieve
ments of its many graduates, but, at
the time, no one OF its members was
looked upon as more promising than its
young leading woman. In more than
one mind the robbing OF the stage of
Miss Gale has been considered one Of
the most pitiless blows that wealth ever
dealt the cause of art, and, II indeed it
is the late financial depression that has
recovered so able an artist for us, we
nay indeed be satisfied to prattle Of
silver Innings.

as much thought upon the cut OF his
clothes or the turn of a cravat as upon
the arrangement OF an actor drawing OF
a character. His The Thief has estab-
lished Mr.. Bernstein as the most inventive
and most resourceful of modern play
wiights. He has the finest sense for al
most mathematically built climaxes Of any
present day writer for the stage. Yet Bern
stein is anything but practically or scien-
tifically inclined. Rather is he a mystic
with a sharp eye. observing human nature,
but personally more subject to extra human
influences than any other person who
comes under his own microscopic eye.
This Bernstein will never content himself
with a name for one OF his plays until he
has found one of six letters or less. He
is sure no success can come to any OF his
plays II the title, aside from an article and
adjective, or some other qualifying word
contains more than six letters. Thus, the

The third question asked was: What
should the professional musicians and or
ganizations be doing for Omaha's musical
development which they are not doing?
And what, II anything. are they not doing
hat they should be doing?"
The reply TO this question from the Law
yer was that the musicians should as far
as possible set aside professional jealousies,
or keep them in the background. 1.-THE
public" said he, "can never be impressed
by displays OF Jealousy in any profession,
or in any business"
OF course, this is a charge which always
has been laid more particularly at the
door Of the professional musician. II is
perhaps quite well founded, especially for
the reason that at the very top of the
operate branch of the profession, there
come occasionally glowing accounts OF
rcubles with primae donnae, and mana.
geIial straits Of desperation.
One fact, however. should be taken into
consideration in Justice; and that fact Is
that the jealousy is almost always directed
against the best people and net otherwise
for the same reason that one always finds
the cudgels and stones that have been
thrown. very close to the tree which bears
the best fruit. The voice of jealousy is
sometimes heard, but do those who blame
the musicians generally for Il, ever really
stop TO consider the source? The question
OF standard" comes in. Those who arr
working for a high standard are not jeal-
GUS. 1t is those who are satisfied with less
that are.
TIL question was then asked: do you
think that the Omaha leading musicians
are largely free from jealousy, as a class
and that there Is a genuine spirit of sooc
will here that is very hopeful2' And the
