| | - OW, after the famine, comes the feast. For the next few days Omaha is to have more *of good things than the folks s will know what to do with. " The list of ammsements from which to ichoose is such @s will puszzle i most of us to make a cholice as to which to see first. It is only to|be hoped, for the sake of the managers,/ that schedules can be so arranged that{the public will get around to see all. —_—— The announcement that Maude -Adams is to appear, at the Brandels theater Tuesday and’'Wednesday, May 4 and b, with matinee Wednesday, 1n a special re- vival of “Quality Street,” will unques- tionably pleass any number of people ‘who admire the actress and appreciate the work of the Scotch dramatist, J. M. Barrie. In the Jong and varied range of characters that Miss Adams has played it 1s only natural that some of them stand out with greater prominence than others. This is not always due to the merit of interpretation, but to individual liking of story and characterization. To & great many people two of Miss Adams’ characterizations will always stand out clearly and distinotly. These are Lady Babble in “The Little Minister” and Phoebe Throssell In “Quality Street.” The stories in which these characters were set made a strong appeal to all those who still had any sentiment and romance left in their heads. And no one will dispute that gray hairs often cover very youthful {deals. Phoebe Throssel! has always had any number of admirers. She is youthful, she is olde fashioned and trusting, innocent of the world outside her little village, and your young blade and your roysterer get a dif- ferent angle on the world when they come into ber presence. Her fascination is felt by youth of both sexes, and as has been intimated there is no age limit where sentimentality comes into play. “Quality Street”” deals with old-fashioned people, of & period of life long ago, and unfolds a charming love story in which Phoebe and the are the principal figures. The company surrounding Miss Adams is made up of prominent players. sl Lew Helley-At the Gayelys manly Valentine Brown | . < "z One of Maxim's Models. A¢ the Empress Hr&lenz Elsworth Dale At the Boyd Horn will play “Old Pop” Clark, one of . |the most unique characters ever visual- ized. For the regular “soclety” night mu- sical attraction on Tuesday evening Man- ager Burgess has engaged Mrs. Lena Ells- worth Dale for a second appearance. She will sing a program of her own selection. Three conspicuous features are to be presented as stellar acts this week at the Orpheum. One is to be contributed by Bickel and Watson; another by Brandon Hurst and company and a third is to be W. Horelik's ensemble. Comedians of the eccentric type, who for several seasons bore the funmaking burden with Zieg- feld's “Follles” are Bickel and Watson, the best known farceurs on the variety stage. Brandon Hurst and two assoclate players are to present a new one-act play by Edward Peple, author of “The Prince Chap” and “The Littlest Rebel. This vaudeville offering, alive with clever lines and a unique situation, is called “The Girl." The title character, by the way, does not appear. Two men and a male servant are the people of the play. Four- teen people, some of them the most re- markable dancers ever brought to this country, will appear in the pantomime story, “The Gypsy Camp.” The act ls known as W. Horellk's ensemble, Russian {folk dances and astonishing acrobatic |feats are some of the elements of the performance. Elsa Ruegger, reputed as the world's greatest woman 'cellist, { well known to music lovers of Omaha. On Zow Barnett in “The Red Rose,"” sup- ported by an excellent company, will ap- pear at the Brandeis theater for two days, May § and 9 At the Boyd this week Paul Arm- strong's study In applied crime, “The Deep Purple,” will be presented, the first | erformance being at the matinee this aiternoon, and the bill running all week, with the regular matinees on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. In “The Deep Purple” a complete set of thrills is pro- iued for each of the four acts, and a tale of gripping interest is unfoldel as the progress of some unsavory persons is noted. The principal figure is Gordon Laylock, from the west, who has L‘lled lis man and robbed his train, and seeks New York as a haven of rest from the pursuit of the western sheriffs, who in- tend sending him to prison. He there en- counters the New York crook in the per- scns of Harry Leland and “Old Pop” Ciark, who will do anything except “take a chance.” the curtain finally goes down, ‘ense delight of the audience. 'Frisc Kate, who s trylng to live “square;" #iliam Lake, a young mining man whose zome is in New York; Doris Moore, & girl ¥ho has been lured from home by Le- and, and who s saved by Lake and Kate, wre the other leading characters, and wround them move several police off} ials, all crooks but one, and Lake's nother and sister. Mr. I to the in- he role of Lake, Miss Gates is to play Frisco Kate, Mr. Lindholm will be Gor- ton Laylock, Mr. Price plays Leland, Vies Dewar plays Doris Moore and Mr. Laylock kills Leland before | her present tour of the Orpheum circuit {she 1s assisted by the remowned con- ductor, Edmund Lichtenstein. A plotiess | comedy trifie, “At Trouville,” is to be | contributed by Butler Haviland and Alice Thornton. *“The Girl from Milwaukee" is a vocalist richly endowed with a con- tralto volce.

Lew Kelly has es- tablisbed himself as one of the most pop- ular stars in musical burlesque. His crea tion of the“dope” originally concelved a | & bit, has developed into a comedy classic His magnetic personality and his success in impersonation have combined to make his name a byword ‘on the highway of { American show life. Mr. Singer has pro vided for Mr. Kelly ideal surroundings in cast and investiture and the “Behman low"” has always been complete in its appointments of color, music, humor. song and ensemble.

A beauty chorus and a male octet dis- tinguish some new and original con- certed numbers. In a scenic way, the pro- duction is sumptuous, while the cos- tuming is in replica of the Broadway musical show in color and variety. The human dreadnaught, Jess Willard, the man who brought the world's cham- plonship back to the white race, will ap- pear in three-round exhibition bouts with his eparring partners during the first seven performances Inclusive of next Wednesday's matinee. The bargain mat- inee prices extended to the ladies will be withdrawn until Thursday matinee owing to the tremepdous expense in presenting the Jess Willard party. This is Willard himself, in the flesh, not a moving pie- ture. e Miss Billle Burke has a mission in life It is to make people happy. And in “Jerry" she has the amplest opportunity she has ever had to do all the things she can do most easily in the furtherance of that mission. “Jerry” is the comedy by Catherine Chisholm Cushing in which Miss Burke will be seen at the Brandeis theater for three performances beginning tomorrow night, with matinee Tuesday. Charles Frohman presented her in it first at the Lyceum theater, New York, last season and she scored a big hit at once. This season she has been playing it to crowded houses all over the country. The “Jerry” of the play is a maddening little minx—"a girl an hour ahead of | time,” one of the other characters calls her—from Chicago. On a visit to her she meets and falls in love with a man twice her age, him. How-—the play tells. - “The New Henrletta,” a play by Win- | Bronson Howard's famous comedy, is be ing presented by an all-star cast which is as follows Nicholas Van Alstyne..Willlam H | Bertle > Thomas W | Rev.
