y q ( ACURTAIY RISES AT BRANDEIS utiful Theater is Crowded on Its First Night. General Manderson, of First Who Spoke at Boyd Thirty is Chiet Omaha, of wealth and splendor, Thursday night saw the opening of the Brandels, “the theater beautiful.”” The playhouse was dedicated by expressicns of appreciation from the people it was bullt to plaase. The occasion was marked by that which be- spoke its significance in the history of the eity. Omaha saw and approved, ) Speakers representing the Omaha publie and others more persopally connected with the enterprise which produced this insti- tution of beauty and art addressed an audience representative of Omaba in Its civie attainments. There worda of praise for the achlevements of the Brandels family, and for the greatness of the eity in which they have achieved. The first night at the playhouse became an event of more than ordinary soolal im- portance. Barly the house was filled by tHe interested throng. It was an occasion of many congratulations and appreciations. The ampla lobby became a promenade for the sdmirers and for more than an hour Ahey strolled about to view the beauties of the house. The lobby was lined with gifts of flowers bearing notes of congratulation from the donors. There was coziness and welcome with all of the magnificence. As the first night crowd began to arvive hundreds of on-lookers lined the oppos #ide of the street to view the procession coming In. ‘When the curtain rose on the first act of ’ Arsens Lupin” every seat In the house ‘was filled. There was a burst of applause w“hd the play proceeded. Dedicatory Tributes, ‘With John L. Kennedy as master of ceremonies, the dedicatory speeches wore given preceding the performanco. Mayor James C. Dahlman, as representative of the city, delivered the omnlu address In words of tribute. “It is indeed a mu pleasure and a great privilege to be allowed to say & few words on this occasion,” sald Mayor Dahlman, “It is especially gratifying as chlef execu- tive of this great and growing city to be able to be here and see such a magnificent audience, which shows the great prosperity of Omaha. “These men who have made it possible to enjoy this occasion are certainly entitled to a great tribute. They have, by their energy and lorce, done great things for this city of ours and we can only hope this great playhouse, which stands here a mbnument to thelr energy may stand for ¥y to come so that thousands of others may enjoy the same pleasure we are enjoy- ing. “I want to pay In my humble way a tribute to the Brandels brothers who bullt this theater and I know I voice the sentl- ment of &ll here in wishing that they may prosper in the future and be able to bulld more great buildings in Omaha. S “We know that Woodward & Burgess, who are to manage this theater, will give us only the best t t and that they will prosper in thelr undertaking and that we may remember this joyous occasion.” General Manderson Speaks.

Tonight my mind goes back thirty years to a similar ocoasion. It was then that James B. Boyd, then mayor of Omaha, buflt the theater at Fifteenth and Farnam streets. Only you of gray hair remember the beginning of that structure there, the first theater In Omaha worthy of the name, ““The contrast of conditions then and mow' is notable. It was a stormy, ralny night, and, Incidentally the mud was thick when I was called upen to congratulate James H. Boyd and congratulate Omaha on the opéning of that theater. Think of it! Omaba had no paved wtreets, no waterworks. practically none of the things of life which we have long since ceased to regard as luxuries and now gonsider as necessitles. ‘“We have advanced much. Here In this theater we have the newest of our developments as a great city, ‘We of this community must heartily thank the mén who have bullded this perfect structure.” A mee Votes Praise, General Manderson read a resslution volg- ing the public's measure of appreclation. t was endorsed with striking earnestness, when the audience rose to cast its affirm- ative decision. The resolution waas: “On this opening night of this beauti- ful theater, we who are here assembled to enjoy ita freah delights, desiring to express our appreclation of the enterprise that has mdde our keen enjoyment pos- sible: Resolved, That this perfect building, rest- securly upon its seolid foundation, against damage by fire, Its ample ns of Ingresa and egress, its complete and spaciovs stage fitlngs, Its artistic decoration, its luxurious comforts for pat- rons and ita perfection in every detall, fills fully one of Omaha's need; affording to her people and to the strangers within her gates opportunity for culture, enjoy- ment and improving delight.

They have been too busy bulla- ing to do much talking, but one member of the firm will address you this evening," #aid John L. Keanedy in introducing the fioal speaker, Arthur D. Brandels, who spoke for himself, his brothers and their theater. “If this theater meets with your ap- proval, If It pleases you, it is most gratify- ing to my brothers and myself," sald Mr. Brandels. “It may be of interest to you to know that this 18 not the first play house that we have bullt.

He paid high tribute to W, J. Burgess, who Is the resident man- ager of the Brandols. He reviewed the hi tory of Mr. Burgess' connection wih the various theatrical enterprises of Omaha. “There has been a man chosen to manage this house who is most thoroughly fit. 1 doubt if one of his equal might be found. This man came to Omaha nineteen yoars' ago. Hoeginning with the theater at IMif- teenth and Farnam streets with L. M.

He then had the Empire theater on Douglas street, which he managed until he and the late W. A. Paxton, Jr., caused the Creighton, now the Orpheum, to be bullt. He then secured the oyd and we afterwards bullt the Bur- . Now we have this, the most beautl- ful theater In the west. I consider this truly an evolution which qualities him to fill this position, “I have been connected with W. J. Burgess for seven years and when he sold his interest In our affairs a few years ago he promised me then he would not again engage in the theatrical business except With me as a partner. ““We still control the Boyd, {n which we will have stock companies for two years at least, but to this house we will bring only the best plays. “It is appropriate this evening that we have the neme of a man who devoted almost his entire life to art—Charles Froh- man—and I trust you may be able to show your appreclation of his shows so he will be glad to send others." Those Who Planned It Mr. Woodward took occasion to give credit to T. P. Barnett of the firm, Barnett, Haynes & Barnett of St. Louls, architects, He sald that the theater followed out the ideas of Mr. Barnett. He also compli- mented John Latenser, local architect who has had the work in charge, as well as others who have been instrumental in bulld- Ing the beautiful playhouse. “The _citizens of Omaha should feel Proud {hiat they have such a strorg and progressive firm, which would bflnl about 4 This is the greatest effort this firm ever a tempted and it is Qedicated to & name Wwhich will go down to the ages as a house- hold word in Omaha. ““Credit must also be given to the people of Omaha, who demand art and support it, and aithough dedicated to the name of Brandels, it is really to the people of Omaha. This is the best house, the best dressed house and the handsomest house ever as- sembled in the west. Beautiful Interlor, The theater was on its first night com- plete in all of its splendor, perfect and finished in every detall. With the audience seated a plcture of rare brilllancy was presented. Walls of golden subdued tints in panels of rich|brocaded tapestry, deep mossy carpets of bulllon galoon, the dain- ty tracery of exquisite design In marble and plaster, a wealth of {llumination made the background for rows of handsomely garbed spectators. There was much of brilliance without garishness, richness without ostentation. The interfor in the style of Louls XVI. enlivened with here and there a touch of modernness, gave expression to all the beauty that the heritage from French art could glve. The courts of Louis ecould hardly surpass In elegance the spectacle presented last night In the theater beau- tiful. 8o great was the publio Interest in the event that hundreds gathered about the entrance and along the street to see all that was visible from the outside, The onlookers gathered an hour before. the house began to fill and lingered until long after the program of the evening was un- der way. The motor cars and carriages that brought the first night audience to the theater lined the streetz for a block around in all directions. In the lobby of the theater gifts of flowers to the people behind the enterprise were displayed in profusion and added to make the ensemble most beautiful. The tloral tributes were all of the magnificent order In varlous designs and consisted of huge horseshoes, clusters of azelias, Jack roses and American Beauties and vio- lets and lllles of the valley. Among the larger gifts to J. L. Brandeis & Sons and to Woodward and Burgess, were those sent by D. J. O'Brien, Charles Grotte, Albert Morrison, Mr. and Mrs, Herman Cohn, the department managers of the Brandeis stores, Leo Goodwin, the Omaha Electric Light and Power company, Johnson & Bilz, managers of the Gayety, and Mogy Bernstein. FIBLD NIGHT FOR OMAHA SOCIETY Soclety donned its best last evening to do honor to the formal opening of the beautiful new Brandeis theater. Such wealth of flowers and jewels has never been shown In Omaha until last evening. This was also the beginning of a new era In Omaha social circles. This was the first evening that neariy all of the boxes have been filled with people wearing the correct thing—full evening dress. Hereto- fore the majority of the feminine con- tingent has worn hats, especially in the boxes. But Omaha women have ever been independent In matters of dress. This 1s & local fad, but at last they seem disposed to fall In line with the greater clties. Exquisite jewcls were worn, many of of eonndtr‘blo value which usually safety deposit vault.
