The Passing o Terry
(Terry McGovern says he Trill leave the stase.)
Descend, oh, shades of Edwin Booth,
Of Barrett, Forest, oh,
Descend and plead In tearful tones
With Terry, lest he go.
The stage Is not prepared to stand!
A loss so grave, so great.
And people clutch the alr'ln pain
"When such they contemplate.
The footlights weep, the curtain droops.
The thunder, iron grim,
Gives forth a hollow, hopeless groan
At thought tf losing him.
Oh, Terry, think before you leave;
"VVouldst willingly depart.
And thus deprive the mimic world
Of all that's skilled In art?
"Woulost hie away from lime-light's glaro -
And lose yourself to view?
"Why, Terry, Booth, with all his fame,
A slap-stick was to you!
The stage will "creak If you decide
To don again the znlts.
It wobbles now, with Jeffries gone;
Tou out, it dimply quits.
Jim Hackett is both crude and rough,
And Faversham's a sham.
And Drew is lost in Olst&nce dim,
"While Frederick "Warde's a clam.
And Eothern turns a ..sickly green
And Goodwin goes abroad;
And James O'Xell will shortly feel
The prick of envy'a sword
In short, of all the lot, what one
Has ever swung his right
And smashed the villain's block, b'gee,
Each matinee and night?
Not one; and, Terry, if you'll stay,
Tou'll make a hit, we know;
Abolish swords and fight with gloves.
As Shakespeare's Komeo.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
A combination of light catchy music
and bright comedy, such as is provided
In "The Belle of New York," is hard for
the ordinary "provincial" playgoer to re
sist, however -wearying Its effect may be
on the blase first-nightersf of New York.
This explains the great success of the
present company, on its second Western
tour, and the two' big "houses It drew In
Portland. The patrons of the theater
looked lor the same kind of entertainment
Tvhen they bought tickets to "A Mod
ern Crusoe," and It was the disappoint
ment In not seeing it that mad them tell
their friends to stay away the following
night It is easier to please with comic
opera jot musical comedy than anything
else, -and -while It Is an expensive thing
to take across the country, there is never
likely to be any dearth of it. The com
pany that presented the "The IJelle of
New York" this year is not quite so
strong as It was last. Three people who
were missing and missed were George
Tallman, who played the role of Harry
Bronson, and who had a splendid voice,
even thought ne sometimes clutched for
notes he had difficulty in attaining; Flo
Perry, the vivacious little "Mame" whose
only fault -was that she -was so amusing
she sometimes distracted attention from
the other principals, and E. S. Tarr, who
played the father of the queen of comic
opera with an ease and humor which will
be long Temembered. The remainder of
the company is good, although the young
roan who plays Harry Bronson at present
Buffers considerably from lack of confi
dence in himself?
For a rip-roaring thriller, "Sporting
Life," which was the early week attrac
tion at the Marquam, is entitled to all
the prizes that are now hung. The com
pany is composed chiefly of actors who
are not afraid to act. that Is. to get
etrcnuous on all occasions, to defame each
other in clarion accents, and to kill and
maim whenever the occasion seems to
demand It, It Is withal brimming over
with that commodity known as heart In
terest, and that is why people cheer the
3ero to the echo and hiss the villian so
, enthusiastically. Melodrama seems to
be a sort of theatrical necessity, to fill
in now and then between comedy and
tragedy, hut it Is, perhaps, just as well
that there are other forms of amusement
on the stage "
The Tlvoll Opera Company, which will
tonight close an eight-day engagement at
Cordray's, is not a great company, but it
is composed of singers of far more than
average ability, and anything presented
by it Is sure to be well put on. That
Portland appreciates eucH an organization
has-been shown by the patronage, and
it is to be hoped that the company will
find, it worth while to take an extended
engagement in this city every year here
latter. Mr. Hartman Is a rollicking come---jdlan
who knows how to get the best re
Bults out of a song, and his assistants
are all entertainers who will find a wel
come in Portland whenever they choose
to return.
"A Honolulu Coon" pleased good-sized
houses at the Metropolitan all the week.
It is as .good as the average "colored"
attraction, but the thirst for that sort of
thing Is flying out with ragtime, and.soon
there will he few colored performers out
side of vaudeville or the minstrel shows.
ATTRACTIONS THIS "WEEK.
v"m Old Kentucky."
That standard and popular play, "In
Old Kentucky," will malce Its -annual visit
to this city Monday, Tuesday, "Wednes
day -nights, October 14, 15, 16. at the
Marquam Grand Theater. To most play
goers "In Old Kentucky" is as welcome
as the flowers in Spring.
While the story Is familiar to many, a
short synopsis of it will be of interest
It concerns the fortunes of an interest
ing group of people representative of the
mountain and blue-grass regions of Ken
tucky. The lonely, half-savage life of the
mountaineers, with their strong loves and
stronger hates, their bitter feuds rival
ing in Tindictiveness the Corsican ven
detta, yet elevated above bloodthlrstiness
by a sense of religious duty, is clearly set
forth and seems. It is said, all the more
unique and strange In contrast with the
peaceful, pastoral characteristics of the
blue-grass country. Numerous opportu
nities are given for the display of the
strongest passions. About the fortunes
of the hero, a handsome, chivalrous young
Kentuckian. is woven a web of love,
treachery, hate and revenge, from, which
escape seems Impossible. There Is the
cver-fasclnating story of the man whose
past Is shadowed by a great crime, and
whose after life is one great struggle to
evade the nemesis who pursues him. Many
scenes characteristic of Kentucky life are
introduced, genuine echoes from the plan
tationthe play, the frolic and music of
the darkies after the day's work is done;
the throng, the excitement and the ac
claim that attend the close finish of a
famous race, which, hy the way, is rep
resented In an entirely different manner
from any other race known to the stage.
The heroine Is an Interesting type a
young girl brought up In the mountains,
and to whom nature has given dauntless
courage, a great soul allied with charm
ing simplicity, shyness and true woman
liness. The Colonel is a Kentucky prod
uct, pure and simple Indigenous to the
soil. The plot is unconventional, with a
succession of natural and logical inci
dents, exciting, even sensational fornv
ing In their entirety a story of unflag-"
ging interest. The setting of - the piece
has attracted much attention. It is ap
propriate and beautiful, representing with
Tare fidelity genuine Kentucky scenes. No
drama of recent years has been more
generally commended than "In Old Ken
tucky," nor has any production met with
r" v -j y
such remarkable success. The original
company will be seen' here, including the
now famous pickaninny brass band that
is so prominent a feature of the play. The
scenery is all new for this season's tour,
and, if possible, is more elaborate than
heretofore- This is the ninth year of "In
Old Kentucky," and Its .popularity appears
to be greater with playgoers than ever
before.
Stuart Robson iu "Th.e Henrietta."
Friday night, October-18, and Saturday
matinee (only), October 19, at the Mar
quam Grand Theater, theater-goers will
have the first opportunity in five years of
witnessing that delicious, conception of
brilliant humor Stuart Robson's "Bertie",
the Lamb."
It has often been said that Bronson
Howard's comedy "The Henrietta" ha3
become a classic. Of all plays that have
been given the public, this seems to be
the most typically American. Wall street
gambling, speculation, the social sham of
newly-made American society, the aping
of English costumes, are all delineated,
Interwoven with satire, comedy, pathos
and tragedy. It is a fitting rival to Bron
son Howard's other success, "Shenando
ah," and it is estimated that in its 14
years' career it has been played to nearly
5,000,000 people. The height of enthusias
tic eulogy .has been reached in speaking
of the play. Critics have called it the
"greatest American comedy ever writ
ten," and they say "it will live forever."
In making the present revival of "The
Henrietta," Mr. Robson has been guided
by the desire -to produce this well-beloved
comedy in the most noteworthy manner
that it has ever been presented. He has
selected a company that Is by far a
stronger organization than was the noted j
cast that first presented it 14 years ago.
Four of the members of the company
have already been stars upon their own
account, and every one is well known to
theater-goers. Maclyn " Arbuckle, one of
the most sterling and impressive actors
upon the tage,. plays the role opposite
to Mr. Robson, of Nicholas Van Alstyne
"Old Nick of the Street-' Mr. Arbuckle
was last season himself a star in "The
Sprightly Romance of Marsac," and next
season will again head a company of his
own.
Mr. Rus Whytal, who appears as Nich--olas
Van Alstyne, Jr has until this sea
son starred in his own play of "For Fair
Virginia." Miss Dorothy Rossmore, Mr.
Robson's beautiful and stately leading
woman, was for a number of seasons
leading woman for Fanny Davenport,
and for the last few seasons gtarred In
Shakespearean and Sardou reportolre.
Miss Estelle Carter was also last season
a s,tar, playing Maxine Elliott's role in
"When We Were Twenty-one: Miss Ma-
rle Kealty, a noted beauty of the Celtic"
type, and Miss Laura Thompson, a for-,
mer Washington society belle, are among
the feminine members of the company,
while Clifford Leigh, the well-known En
glish actor; Joseph P. Keefe, a veteran
American actor, and Charles A Lane,
Roy Atwell and Charles Gilbert complete
the male personnel.
Undoubtedly nothing will Interest the
feminine portion of the audience more
than the elaborate gowns that wHl be
worn by the ladles pn the stage, yhelr
different roles Impersonate society of New
Yoikis upper set, and elaborate new crea
tions have been imported by each fem
inine member of the company, display
ing the latest modiste's art.
i
"Daughter of the Diamond King,"
at tlie Metropolitan.
Tonight, at the Metropolitan Theater,
how under an indefinite lease to and man
aged by George L Baker, will begin 'a
week's engagement of La Belle Laurette,
supported by Charles A. McGrath and a
competent cast of 20, in Charles A. Tay
lor's sunshlne-and-shadow play, "Daugh
ter of the Diamond King." The play
presents scenic pictures from the hills
of New Hampshire and the society and
streets of New York City. It is said its
popularity is due to its beautiful story,
and the simple way in which the story is
told. The company interpreting. the play
has, It Is said, been picked and culled to
fit appositely each Individual character.
So perfectly does the company, In Its
Interpretation of the - play, conform to the
author's Idea, one forgets one is witness
ing a play, that, In fine, he is gazing upon
a reflection of nature, and when, in the
first act, representing the wedding In the
schoolhouse, the old village schoolmas
ter says "Come, children, take your seats,
J '
fold your hands," to the accompaniment
of such detail as the clatter' and rattle
of slates and the closing of books, It is
no mlslmagination to take one back to
the time one sharpened slate pencils, or
had to stay after school for eating apples
behind the geography. This quaint scene
can be appreciated to its full only by ber
ing seen. Another good Idea In the 'play
Is the dear little sweetheart of school
days with her beaux and books. Their
joys and sorrows are felt in every human
heart who sees the development ot their
bliss and the bitterness ofN their sorrow
when the unveiling of the plot" casts ob
stacles across their path. The theme of
the play has to do with a young and hand
some American girl, the daughter of a dia
mond merchant Tesidlng In New York
City, who was formerly an African dia
mond king. One sees the gentle rustic
folk of the New Hampshire hills and the
blase smart set and Indifferent lower
classes of New Tprk. The wedding In the
schoolhouse, laying of the corner-stone
of the diamond palace, a Masonic cere
mony by electric light, the illumination A
of the diamond - palace, the Mardl Gras
Carnival, the rehearsal of the village
choir, and the arrest of the counterfeiters,
are some of the strikingly stirring scenes
In "daughter of the Diamond King."
The play Is conspicuous In that It has
no" shooting, noc murders, no red fire, no
vulgarity ands.no' profanity. Its situations
are strong, its. climaxes are not over
done. Five really Interesting vaudeville
acts are Introduced In- the Mardl-Gras
.scene. There" Is a grand chorus of chil
dren's voices. A quintet of singers sing
tho old songs to which everybody likes
to listen. Featuring the olio are the fa
mous Lenton trio of grotesque comedy
acrobats and hat-throwers, the New York ,
ladles' quartet, Fred Melville, John de
Gez, Frederick R. Seaton, and Ida H.
Wynn, the operatic singer. Judging from
the demand for seats for "Daughter of
the Diamond King," the play will un
doubtedly dp a good business at the Met
ropolitan all week, as It deserves.
"A Homespun Heart," at Cordray's
Monday night Hal Reld's latest play,
"AHomespun Heart," will open a week's
engagement at Cordray's, with a capable"
cast-' at the head of which is tho well
known actress, Alice Marble. The story
of the day is simple, but full of human
interest.
Tom Sanson, & well-to-do farmer, Is In
love with Marlon Markoe, his neighbor's
daughter, the pride of all the village.
His envious neighbor, Quire Moore, has
surreptlously secured a mortgage on the
Markoe farm, and his price for Its can
cellation is the hand of Marlon. Marlon,
true to her love, but in order to save, the
old home, consents to make the sacrifice.
She is prevented from doing so by her
brother Andy, whose mind has become
unbalanced by being thrown from a colt,
but whose lucid moments at times enable
him to outwit the villains who are plot
ting against the welfare of the family.
Squire Moore forms an alliance with
Senga Severald, an "adventuress woman
from the city, who knows of his plans
and has discovered that Marlon Is only
an adopted daughter and the rightful heir
ess to the finest estate In the country.
Marlon and Tom are married, the squire
takes possession and Tom provides a
new homo for Marion and her family.
Tom is lured to the city by confederates
of the squire and Senga, and placed on
board a sailing vessel bound for a two
years' cruise. Marlon follows in answer
to a decoy letter, saying he Is ill and In

fined in an insane asylum. The squire

innocence Is established and'all ends hap
pily. "The Babes In the Wood" Tonight.,
"The Babes in the Wood" will 'close
the engagement of the Tivoll Company,
at Cordray's. tonight. The comedy was
devised by Mr. Hartman chiefly as a
vehicle to bring out the strength of the
company In specialties, and it Is admirably
.adapted to its purpose. All of the mem
bers have an opportunity to do their best,
and the result is an entertainment which
is sure, to leave a pleasant and lasting
impression on the minds of the admirers
of the company.

SHE TOOK EAMES' PEACE
Shannali Camming the Siai; Soloist
of tlie "Worcester Musical
Festival.
The Worcester Music Festival has for
many years enjoyed the prestige of open
ing the musical season on the Atlantic
Coast. 'If not Indeed in America, "for the
festival has become an affair of National
interest. This Year, by a sort of spe
cial 'dispensation of Providence, the bright
and snlnlng flight was a singer particu-
larly well-known to Portland people
Shannah Cumming.
The inability of Emma Eames to fill the
leading roles at the festival might have
caused the management serious trouble
had not Miss Cumming been prepared to
come to the rescue. She had"been en
gaged to sing the soprano part in Cesar
Franck's- oratorio, "The Beatitudes," and
when the message ' announcing Mme.
Eames' illness was received the manage
ment asked Miss Cumming to sing also
the soprano part of the Verdi requiem,
which Eames was to have sung. The
selection of Miss Cumming for these two
most prominent soprano roles was a high
compliment, but it is one which her
friends all consider well deserved.
Although new to Worcester, she made
a profound Impression, says the Concert
Goer. The purity and volume of her voice
are no, less admirable than her vocal
skill and the fine musicianship which di
rects her efforts to most artistic ends.
Both In solo and ensemble she was almost
Ideal. In the "Requiem" her lovely voice
and fine art had full scope. The voice
itself is not large, but it is pure, and
therefore carries- well. Familiarity with
the score, absolute reliability as to in
tonation and attack were not the least
of Miss Cummlng's virtues.
The performance of the "Requiem" was
a distinct triumph for all concerned con
ductor, chorus, orchestra and soloists.
Verdi's work, with all its undeniable dif
ficulties, Is a grateful task to set a good
chorus. The opportunity to show Its met
tle was seized TVith assurance. It was
the sixth performance of this "Requiem"
at Worcester, but hard work had evi
dently not been shirked because of fa
miliarity. In delicacy of shaclng, in pur
ity of tone, In certainty ana clarity of
parts, old attendants at Worcester festi
vals say the work of tonight, has never
been surpassed. The test came early In
the very opening measures of the "Re
quiem," the pianissimo accompaniment of
the voices to the lovely melody of the vio
lins. Here, as in the pianissimo unac
companied "Libera Me," no greater del
icacy and beauty of tone could be asked,
and George Chadwlck, who conducted,
L deserves ungrudging praise for the
achievement. Such parts as the "Die
Irae," and that great double chorus, the
"Sanctus," were sung spiritedly, and the
tone remained always of fine quality.
."The Beatitudes" is Cesar Franck's mas
terpiece. It la over 20 years old, yet, Im
ported though it is, has been, given In
America only three times before the pres
ent production at Worcester. Four hun
dred voices, an orchestra of 65 and seven
soloists comprised Mr. Chadwick's forces.
Next to Miss Cumming the" best known
name among the soloists-, so far at least
as Portland people are concerned, was
that of David Blspham. The role of
Satan .devolved upon him, and he Invested
it with vivid dramatic power.
In Franco Franck has commanded blind,
enthusiastic devotion from a group of
radical young oomposers devotion such
as comes usually only to a genius who ha3
dared strike out entirely new paths. The
earnestness and vehemence of these devo
tees has compelled attention, and even In
this country, where the composer ls still
a new figure, sides have been -taken and
some critical blood split. In estimating
the significance of the Franck cult suffi
cient account has not been .taken of con
ditions in France during the last 0 years.
The sudden artistic renaissance In France
during this period Is one of the remark-,
able phenomena of the history of art.
French art is today, take It all In all, the
most vital and original In-" the world.
But the awakening, particularly In music,
came so suddenly and unexpectedly that
It lacked direction. These ardent young
spirits, demanding a new outlet for their
energies, must have a leader.. The digni
fied, admirable figure of Cesar Franck
furnished a rallying point. The leader
ship of the new French revolution, was
foisted on the Gallic-Belgian composer
after his own work was practically com
pleted. He has befen compelled to stand
sponsor for a school which he had no mind
to originate, and -with which he is by no
means entirely In sympathy. .
Special distinction was given the Wor.
cester Festival this, year through the pres.
entatlon of Chadwick's new work "Ju
dith." This work. Is described as "a
lyric drama," but it is in. the fullest
sense of the word, an opera, and suffered
In its presentation only through the' lack
Lof spectacle and-action which the huagln-
t&'tlon" craved," says the Review, of New
York. Meanwhile, the musical sense was
highly gratified, for there Is an abundance
of melody in the sol6 parts and much
individual work In orchestration. It may
be "said that "Judith" scored a decided
success, the chorus work especially be- j
Ing admirable. Therd are long passages
a capella, in the chorus, and others are
massive, withal simple.
At one of the closing concerts, Richard
Burmelster, the pianist, scored a tremen
dous success. His marvelous technique
and remarkable tone made his piano a
veritable orchestra. He aroused the large
audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm,
and was recalled time and time again. It
was a remarkable demonstration.
The festival from a financial stand
point, unfortunately was not a success.
A "Wagner Story.
Elsie Polko, a German writer, tells a
touching story in connection with "Der
Wanderer" and "Acb, WIe Ist's Moglich"
("How Can 1 Leave Thee") two Thurin
glan songs known all the world over.
"DOr Wanderer" was composed In 1S37
by Frledrlch Bruckner, father of Oskar
BrUckner, the 'cellist, and "Acb, Wie Ist's
Moglich" was the composition of Bruck
ner's friend, Kantor Johann Ludwig
Bohner, both of Erfurt.
In May,' 1S49, Wagner had to male his
escape from Dresden, and he arrived at
Erfurt, on his way to Paris, to be con
ducted across the frontier by Bruckner
and Bohner. As he was being accompa
nied through the streets In the moon
light ho stopped suddenly to listen to
some female voices singing "Ach, Wie
Ist's Moglich," and, to tho horror of his
friends, would not budge until he had
heard the last note. "I know the mel
ody," he said. "It is sung" everywhere.
Let me hear every line. What a beautiful
parting song! I wish I had composed It!"
As he took his seat In "the closed ve
hicle that was waiting impatiently to take
him further on .his journey, a soft voice
started "The Wanderer":
Wenn ich den "Wand'rer frage:
Wo willst du hln?
And all Joined In the refrain:
Nach Hause, nach Hausel
Bat at the last line:
Hab Kelne Heimat mehr!
A choking voice called out, "Da t-apol"
Then the horses started, and as the party
passed out Into the mOonllght, and that
lament "Hab' Kein Heimat Mehr!" (as
"I Have No Home Now") became fainter
and fainter, the lonely fugitive burled his
face In the cushions and wept Ditteriy.
Music In Politics.
Apart from its ethical and esthetic sig
nificance, music oftentimes acquires a po
litical value, says the Review. It was the
enthusiasm for Wagner's operas that led
the Parisians to assume a more friendly
attitude toward the Germans. At Munich,
as well as at Bayreuth, French enthusi
asts now outnumber those of any other
country. Several German orchestras have
In recent seasons visited Paris, where
they were received with acclamation. And
now comes the news that, for the first
time, a first-class Parisian orchestra will,
this Autumn, visit the leading German
cities. Edouard Colonne, the famoua con
ductor, recently stopped at Berlin on his
way from St. Petersburg to complete the
arrangements for this concert tour. This
emphasizes what some of our greatest
writers have long maintained, that music
influences in an infinitude of ways our
manners and characters.

"Where Throat Tonic Are Dispensed.
The noted baths at Salsomaggiore have
become quite popular with singers, owing
to the fact that Jean de Resske sojourns
there when ha desires a throat tonic.
The place, however, was not discovered
by the great Polish tenor, as It has been
famous since Tamagno sojourned there a
few years ago. The air In the inhalation
rooms Is Impregnated with brine, ozone
and iodine, which are supposed to make
a singer's throat so strong that indispo
sitions become impossible. The "cure"
takes about three weeks, after which M.
do Reszke and his wife visited their Pol
ish home. The Review.

Singing also the radiant soula of departed

Fain to revisit the world, of late so richly

Bearers and breathera of Joy, angels of song.

AEOLIAN RECITALS.
If numbers present and appreciation
are any criterion from which to judgo
success, then the "Wagner" recital la3t
Wednesday evening, at Aeolian Hall,
-was a most decided success from every
standpoint.
At this recital the music-loving people
were given a very rare treat. The selec
tions from "Tannhauser" on the Aeolian
Orchestrelle, by Messrs. Hughes and El
well, and on the pipe organ by Mr. Bruce,
were the best rendition of "Wagnerian
music that have been rendered In Port
land for some time, while the piano se
lections by Messrs. Hughes and Bruco
were perfect gems from the standpoint
of artistic Interpretation.
These recitals are given every Wednes
day evening and Saturday afternoon at
The Aeolian Hall, 333 Washington street,
and the public are most cordially In
vited to attend. Scats are free, and all
are welcome.
