After all, it's right that this should be

The conditions are that IL you ever break

Washington senator who averred that

And which in turn was almost as bad
as the instance OF that gentleman who
effected an entrance into the orchestra Of
the New theater for a performance Of

at the door with the fact tina he was an
intimate friend OF the author.

long a time we have been told that the
play is the main point at issue on the
stage. A few years ago the manager dis
covered how very very wrong this is, and
saw by that great inward light, which al
ways nlumes the mental processes OF the
producing manager. that II wasn't the
play at all, but the manager. And so the
big type told US that we we're indebted to
Mr.. so-and-so. or to Mr.. Somebody Else

this time we have been kept posted on the

Of many hands came the deeper note OF a.
plauding shouts and cheers. For once ar

The sensitive theater reverberated with

their suppers, yield scarcely another such

Now over the spirit Of the manager
cometh a change; he tells us he isn't the
whole show. after all, and that the author
is entitled to some credit. And this begins
to recognize the play again. The man who
writes the play ls to have recognition as a
factor in the success OF contributing 70 the

his brain, the creature OF his imagination,

and the vizualization OF his thought is the
meat that clothes the framework Of its
bones. This has been publicly aeknowl-
edged by the manager. who now cheerfully
gives to the author such share of the pro-
oeeds resulting from the production Of the
play as speedily enriohes the writer Of a
really successful play.

Darcy. The American Lord" is divided
into four acts, the opening scene being laid
in Breuster's hotel in Elkhorn, N. d. When
the play opens there is a convention in
town to nominate a candidate for congress.
A nomination in Elkhorn is equivalent to
an election. 'Before-the-D Eaw-Pete' and
Texas" two Of John Breuster's friends,
mean to stampede the convention for him
In the meantime an English lawyer arrives
and notifies Breuster that he Is the lineal
des cendant Of Lord Breuster. The affair
is a Joke 10 Breuster. but on being told
he will not be hampered in the manage
ment of his estates he promises to go to
England. He becomes embroiled in an old
family feud and finds his little girl madly
in love with a young man, who in time is
to have a title to his name, and then there
Is his son making eyes and losing sleep
over a pretty English girl. To cap the
climax, Breuster himself becomes enamored
with an attractive widow. The settling Of
the various love affairs furnishes many
amusing complications. Miss Marie Drofnah
has, in the role OF Mrs. Westbrooke, the
widow in the play. excellent opportunities.

Now, don't rise up and tell US that Maude

doesn't answer the case. Many a man and

of an author whose name is no more known

youth who fired the Ephesian dome. We
know that somebody must be doing the

point OF consulting the bill Of the play and
looking up and down through a maze of

Omaha daily bee., 1910-04-17

The production will be both complete and
elaborate and the cast one Of excellence
throughout.
Charles Frohman will present Maude
Adams at the Brandeis theater Tuesday
evening and Wednesday matinee and even
ing in J. M. Barrie's latest comedy, What
Every Woman Knows" This simple an
nouncement will awaken anticipations of
pleasure in the minds of countless theater-
goers for reasons too numerous to enumer-
ate in space Of small compass. It seems
late in the day to speak of Miss Adams
as the most popular player in this country.
Reams Of white paper have been covered
with eulogistie essays that have lauded
the personality of the actress. her charm,
her manner and that innate something
which It has for 80 long been the fashion
to designate for the want of a better term
as personal magnetism Without entering
upon a dissertation Of the qualities which
have made for Miss Adams success, there
is no galnsaying that she stands in a
class by herself. Charles Frohman has
said of her that she is the one stage per-
sonality within his experience that has a
following that is absolutely loyal to her
in all that she undertakes. What Every
