l . \ Omaha’s Youngest Actress at Brandeis; THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY What Empress and Hipp Oftfer for Week GOT ‘cold Lynch showed me how long my part waa but I told him T4 take it anyway.' No, dear reader. this was not the statement of a grown. up, blase actress, with a great deal of state experience from Maine to Kala- mazoo. It was the reply of golden- haired, blue-eved Hildegarde Lachmann of elght summers, who is to play Doro- thy in “The Real Thinz" at the Bran- dels next week. The query was to learn whether the heavy part would not over- tax her. “Aren't you afraid of stage fright on opening night?" “Oh, no!"” with a disdainful smile at the intervicwer's ignorance. ‘I've been on the stage since I was two years old. I've played in New York and twice in Omaha, in ‘Alias Jimmy Valentine' and ‘St. Bimo.'” This with the air of David ‘Warfleld casually mentioning that he had created the role of ‘“The Auctioneer.” Hildegarde is in the third grade at Central school and loves nothing bet- fer than to ®mo to Sunday school each week. BShe can converse in German as readily as in English and knows French well, too. for her mother is a French- woman, From her mother Hildegarde inherits her love for the stage and all that ap- pertains to it. Mrs. Lachmann played in French ané German thoaters before her marriage and wears with pride a pin in the form of the German .coat-of-arms which, she says, was presented to her on a velvet pillow by the crown prince of Germany. This was a token of re- gard because of her being injured in a mishap in a magical act during a per- formance when he was present. Hildegarde has a great deal of natural grace and beauty and can sing and dance well. Indeed. she won a $25 prize in a baby beautiful contest in New York. She loves to make up for the theater and her mother says she is an adept at the art. The money from the beauty prise and for her stage work goes to swell a very comfortable bank account for the child. ““What are wyou going to do with all your money?” she was asked. “Keep it." ““Well, aren't you going to celebrate after your week of hard work is over?”’ An enigmatic, Mona ILisa smile was the oniy reply. “Do you like to play with children?” he was asked. h, ves. Sometimes I lake to play older children. sometimes with with younger ones, and then with children of my own ago. Tt depends on how I feel,’ ‘was the pracoclous reply. The child is very fond of Mr. Lynch and on the occasion of his birthday last week Insisted on being permitted to step @oross the footlights to present him with & basket of roses. —_—— ‘“To negleet your children is criminal; to neglect your husband ls fatal.” These lines, the fragment of a dalogue in “The Real Thing,” aptly epitomise the motive of the play which the Pdward Lynoch Players will present at the Brandeis the- ater for the fifth week of their all-sum- mer season beginning tonight. ““The Real Thing” is one of the bright- est and smartest things that Omaha will have the good luck to see in many a day. Very briefly stated, the story begins at BIG FIELD OF ENTRANTS|Back to Nature After Thirty Years Hustling Railroad Freight Much Interest Centers in Farm Tractor Demonstration at Fre- mont During August. BARBECUE ONE OF FEATURES Twenty gangs. of from two to ten plows each are to be entered by the Par- lin & Orendorff Plow ccmpany, in the farm tractor demonstration at Fremont, August 9 to 14. This {s by far the great- €st number entered by any one com- pany. Although it was announced several days ago that the forty-one manufacur- ers that had entered the contest repre- gented B0 per cent more companies than entered last year, the entry list is by no means closed, and others are coming in. The Lawter Tractor company of St. Marys, O., was the forty-second to en- ter the lists, and it is said by the man- agement that at least Lwo new names are 1o be added. With some 300 acres of extra ground leaged for the demonstration work north of Fremont this year, with over 60 per cent more manufacturers entered in the contest, and with every indication that the crowds of visitors this year will reach 0,000, the promotors of the show are pleased with the prospects for this, the third year of the demonstration. The demonstrations is organized and promoted by the Twentleth Century Farmer of Omaha, under the auspices of the Fremont Commercial olub. Friday, August 13, is to be Omaha and Ak-Sar-Ben day. Neither Omaha nor King Ak-Sar-Ben have any terrors for Friday the thirteenth. On that day the only unlucky being is to be a big ox that is to be taken up and roasted by the Union Stock Yards company. of Omaha, for a barbecue during the afternon and evening. Many Are Coming To the OQuting of - The Business Men Merchants from the states adjoining Nebraska, particularly Iowa, are becom- ing Interested in the Nebraska business men's outing, planned to be held at Car- ter lake during the week beginning Au- gust 2. Many letters have come to Man- ager Dolan in Omaha within the last fow weeks stating that the writers desire to attend the outing and chautauqua, end asking for particulars in regard to the project. The local grocers’ association, the As- sociated Retallers of Omaha, and the manufacturers’ assoclation, have all sent fnvitations to their members, asking them to be sure to attend this outing and chautauqua, Tents will be provided at the grounds gp that thoss who care to make & permanent camping ground there during the week may do so. ““The purpose of the outing,” says Man- ager Dolan, “is not to take any action. or strive to bring about any restraint of trade, or regulate prices, but solely to bring about intelligent, harmonious co- operation aemong the merchants of the feet' when Mr. | saatasl™ | Theda Bara in"The Devils Daughter”-At the Hipp wife Kate have reached what Pinero de- scribes as ‘“‘mid-channel.” The marital sea is choppy and rough, the outlook is dowdy ‘“‘hausfrau’ panion. She has gone off in her tennis, bas given up riding, singing, reading, playing both on the plano and with her husband and has become a seamstress, cook and nurse. With the utmost confl- dence in her husband's love, she has dele- gated the unimportant duty of entertain- ing, amusing and interesting him to a thoroughly nice girl, Olive, whom he makes his “pal” to such an cxtent that she is laughingly known as ““Mrs. Gray- son's understudy.” It is apparent that the time for laughter Is about at an end when there appears Jess Lorraine, the wife's sister, a wholesome, fascinating widow, radlating charm, yet wise with the wisdom of all the ages since Eve's time. The husband goes away on his va- cation, and the widow seizes her oppor- tunity to foster, lead and carry through to a triumphant conclusion a revolution in her sister's whole life. Away go dowdy, shabby clothes, to bed go the children, out from the shop of the modistes, the milliners, the corsettieres, the bootmak- ers and the halr dressers come all the ao- cessories that go to make the well groomed woman, uncomfortable to the woman who had “let down,” but, oh, so becoming. 'And when the husband comes back at the end of his month he finds the ‘wife almost the girl he married, healthy, athletic, happy. and dressed—very much dreesed, and, more than that, apparently much interested in another man. The re- sult is inevitable. This other man, Tom Bradley, is really an old sweetheart of After having been in the traffic end of the railroad business for more than thirty years, Charles J. Chisam, assistant general freight agent of the Chicago Qreat Western for the Omaha territory, has resigned and hereafter will devote his time and attention to other pursuits, going to his ranch adjoining the city of Fullerton, Cal., twenty miles from Los Angeles. ‘The resignation of Mr. Chisam be- comes effective August 1. He will be succeeded by B. J. DeGroodt, division freight agent for the Chicago Great Western at Red Wing, Minn. Mr. Chisam began his raileoad career in 1884, accepting a clerkshiv in the of- fices of the Alton in - Springfield, -II'. The following ¥ear he was promotul to the position of local ageat for the same company. This position he held untis 1800, when he was promoted to traveling freight agent, in charge of tha lllnols territory. In 1895 he us:wms assistant general freight agent with headquerters In Peoria. This position he held until 1905, when he was transferred to St. Louls as ussistant general frelght agent in charge of all of the Alton's traffic west of the Mississiop! river. in 1900 when the Alton was taken over by the Clover Leaf road, Mr. Chisam was transferred to Chicago and placed in charge of the company’s coal, lum- ber and live stock traffic, being given the title of assistant general freight agent. When the Great Western was taken out of the hands of the recetvers in 1910 and 8. M. Felton elected president and Joseph W. Blabon, vice president, both formerly Alton men, they called Mr. Chisam, and appointing him assistant general freight agent, assigned him to the Omaha territory of the road to build up the freight traffic thak had been ocon- siderably run down during the receiver- ship. Reaching Omaha in October, 1910, Mr. Chisam started in to push the business of the Great Western and never for a minute has he let up since that time. He has had the reputation of working more hours in the day and more days in the week than any other freight offi- clal In the city. It has beon his aim to make friends and as a result he has built the Great Western up until it is now ome of the strong freight lines be- state to raise business up to the highest degree of efficlency and service for the publioc good. For this reason we wish the co-operation of merchants, manufao- turers, wholesalers, bankers, SAYS SALT LAKE CITY BELONGS TO ROTARIANS Secretary Taube of the Omaha Rotary club has wired back from Salt Lake City, saying. “We have had a splendid trip and the city is ours.” The Umaha Kotarlans occupled a car on the Union Pacific’'s special train that carried the Rotarian delegates from Chi- cago and the east lawyers, the time that Richard Grayson and his|jovfulness, but it is not of the woof of stormy, and all because the wife has be- come a mother rather than a wife; a rather than a com-|‘“The Princess Minstrel Malds," offering | | | Hilda Lachmann in" The Real Thing "~ At the Brandeis. | “the undertaking angel” as Joss describes | herself In the fairy story told to the two | little kiddies, and he—but that, too, is | another story.

In going to his California ranch, Mr. Chisam does not propose to remain idle He has it under a high state of culti- vation and planted largely to bearing walnut trees. On the ranch, with his wife, he will reside and direct its af- fairs. Sunday, July 18, 2:30 P. M. At MANDAN PAR (Take Albright car to end of line.) Wednesday, July21,7:30 P.M.
