do a little, how easy to carry out any
plans we choose to make.
Below / append a paragraph which ought
to have the effect of rousing us:
Mrs. Herzog. president of the Matinee
Musical. has presented The Musical Courier
correspondent with the clubs year book.
Such an array OF artists as this organiza-
tion brings to Lincoln each year! CHANGING
over the list of the artists who have APP
pcared here in times past under the aus
pices of this club, one sees such names as
the following: Xaver Scharwenka, Fannie
Bloomfield ZeisleT. Edward MacDowell, the
Thomas orchestra, Schumann-Hein Jo-
Bauer, Myrtle Elvyn. etc.
How long, o Lord, how long?"
MARY LEARNED.
that the Tuesday Morning Musical club
has great possibilities in its makeup and
organization, has been patent for some
time. That It's sphere Of influence should
be enlarged has been suggested in this
column more than once. That II has
awakened to its responsibilities is more
than probable. May Its president nave the
support of it's membership and may q
strike out on large lines, is the hope OF
many whose names are not on it's regis
ter Of members.

The patrons of the Burwood who like
plays in which there is something Of
natural modern life. with much Of the
comedy and enough Of the dramatic to give
the play a tinge of excitement, cannot fail
to be pleased with clyde Fitch's Cowboy
and the Lady which will he played this
week. beginning with the matinee perform
ance today. The usual lavish staging that
has made the Burwood productions famous
In the realms OF stockholm all over the
country will be given The Cowboy and
the Lady" In appearance the Burwood's
new leading man, Thaddeus Gray, should
make a very picturesque cowboy; that the
part will be given a fine portrayal there
can be no question, as witness his excel
lent work during his inaugural appearance
In Shenandoah" last week. There will
also be matinees on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday.
Once more has the Burwood management
arranged with the executors of the estate
of the late Richard Mansfield for the use
Of his own original version of the student
play, Old Heidelberg Some innovations
are promised in the production.

Even II the shuberts are not Immediately
able to add Omaha to the list OF cities in
which they can operate independently, the
fact that the city is debatahle ground will
spur the Klaw & Erlanger faction to greater
efforts to hold public favor. and the proba-
bility is strong that Omaha will be lifted
out OF the dramatic doldrums and set
again into the fair track of the winds that
send the ship along at a SPANKING pace. So

I% atrical world at a rate that
suggests something OF interest
- for another season. While as
R1 yet the upheaval Is not of the
80 nature OF a cataclysm, the
symptoms OF a storm Of tornado violence
are present. The atmosphere has becn
turgid. sultry and surchsrged with
ominous heat. And now comes a flash
OF lightning that IL perhaps the overture
TO the overturning at last of the condi-
tions that have prevailed and the clear
ing. maybe, of the air of the theatsr-so
far as it's business aspects are concerned.
The Shuberts have withdrawn from the
New York Managers association. This
in itself isn't so much, for IT still leaves
the Shuberts free TO cooperate with the
syndicate" in outside towns. But the
Shuberts have formed a new New York
Managers neutrality-suspicious. that isn't
what II will be called. but hat will be its
effect-members of which are TO I've Da-
vid Belasco and Harrison Grey Fiske.
And this means but one thing, the breach
Of relations between the shuberts and
Klaw & Erlanger. The Syndicate sup
porters say there il to be no war, that
all is peaceful outside the great center
of American theatrical business and that
neither party has any notion Of entering
into competition or adopting disturbing
tactics. But the shuberts have already
given theater room 10 William Faver-
sham, who was put on the index Of ex-
communication by Mr.. Erlanger just be-
fore he sailed for Europe lately on his
vacation tour. This may mean much
or It may mean little. 1t is possible
that TX. q f." will pocket the affront and
proceed as II they meant nothing when
Faversham was put under the ban, but
in all human probability they won't, for
they are men who love power and are not
averse to a fight. So the Weisenheimer

It has been an open secret for some time
that the shuberts were looking for a rea-
sonable excuse TO break out again. Under
all the surface showing Of friendship and
good feeling has ranked the bitterness OF
having had to surrender at a time when
victory seemed to be theirs. Tit tight
money Of OF put the .Shuberts to the neces-
sity OF making peace on terms not quite
50 favorable as otherwise might have been
had. While the TX. & E." folks did not
publicly rub IL In on the Shuberts, they
did not privately omit to keep in full view
Of the late rebels the fact that they had
broken away and had come back. And one
thing has followed another since that time.
The easy way in which the vaudeville
rebels put II onto TX. & E." made the
~Bhuberts wish they had stuck, and the
sourse of the syndicate since then has
not furthered the thought Of peace. 1t was
a shubert play, as we'll as a Belasco play
and a Fiske play, that drew from Presi-
dent Burnham OF the New York Managers
association his noteworthy interview o n
the purity OF the drama, and 1t was Man
ager Burnham who finally afforded the
excuse for the Shubert withdrawal from
the association that is dominated by Klaw
q Erlanger. The pretext was slight
enough. but 1t was also big enough. and
the prelude to the general disturbance is
now being played.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-18

This ime the Shuperts are far stronger
than before, they have the theaters al
ready in operation; then they had to ac-
auire them, even TO build them. and they
will be able to secure much more extensive
financial support this time. They also have
a more notable list Of stars and general at
fractions, and with the combination of the
Belasco and Fiske attractions, will be
able to give the syndicate a real bat
tie. Omaha is interested this time
as It was not before. Then Omaha
had but one first class theater, and, while
the shuberts talked of building one here,
the prospect was not sufficiently attractive
10 warrant the investment. or their re-
sources were too much engaged elsewhere
to permit Of their putting up the money
needed here. This latter is very likely the
explanation. But now Omaha is to have
another fret class theater. and the Boyd
may PASS from the control Of the Klaw
q Erlanger agency. II is known that
several firms Of managers have been look
Ing UP the conditions on which the Boyd
may be obtained, among them the Shuberts.
30 It is not without probability that Omaha
may be at least a kirmish ground in the
conflict that seems certain. This would
be OF immense help in one way, for II
would send hitherward the strongest OF
attractions to be offered by the contending
managers.
