BACK TO SIMPLE MOVEMENTS Attention dancers! Effete New York, which has been during the last few years in inventing difficult taking extreme delight dance steps on an average of each and every forty-eight hours, has re- lented, and no more will the strug- gling westerner be tormented by the dance fashion which has decreed he must learn the execution of a myriad of complicated and entangled steps before he dare appear on a dance floor. For New York, which has always in the past and probably always will in the future, provide the fashions in dancing, as it does the fashions 1in everything else, has sald there will ve no new steps this year. A, Turpin, who conducts one of Omaha’s leading dancing from eignt weeks spent in New York and the east and he brings the gladsome tidings home. Combination Sample. Mr. Turpin reports that the waltz, one-step and two-step in combination will include the entire repertoire of dance steps this fall. All of the new dances and new steps are of the simple sort, easy to learn and easy to execute, says Mr. Turpin. “In New York," says Mr. Turpin, “they are dancing three dance: They are the syncopated waltz, the slow fox trot and the one-step. The syncopated waltz is made up of the waltz step, stop-step and syncopated step. ““The one-step consists of the fan step, progressive turn, double-cut step and step-out. The slow fox trot is made up of slow walking steps, the two-step, cut-step and glide.” Few Changes in Any Dance. ‘The beauty of these dances con- tinues Mr. Turpin, “is the simplicity. All are simple steps and there are only thres changes in any dance. Another advan- tage is that there are no open positions in any of the 1915 dances and all pro- gression is around the room in the same line of direction and causes no contu- sion as was oftentimes the case with the former dances, which were gov- erned by no particular line of direction.” Mr. Turpin says that a new dance which is proving very popular in the east is called the Balboa. This dance is a combination of the walts, one-step and two-step and Is proving very popular among young and old alfke. ALL TOURISTS HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF STOPPING HERE The transcontinental raflroads termi- nating in Ban Francisco have granted the tourlsts the special privilege on their tickets of etopping off at Omaha on their return to the east.

Mr. Wessels, one of the big Chicago concert promoters, asked us if the Omaha public realized what is being done here in tho way of musical events, He spoke particularly of the Mendelssohn choir using its great organization to bring the best in music to Omaha; and now the Retallers’ assoclation presenting the highest paid artists in the world at stock company prices. ‘Undoubtedly, he re- marked, ‘the people of Omaha and vicin- ity aro tumbling over each other buying | these tickets, as the mere announcement of such a course at those prices in Chi. cago would sell out the Auditorfum in no time.’ “In re ard to Ms last remark I can say that from investigations since my return I don't think the Chicago Audi- torium patronage would have anything | on Omaha, as Mr. Nash, Mr, Belden and | myself, the committee in charge of pro- | motion for the Retallers' assoclation, are | delighted with the rush for these season | books and feel certain that by the middie of September we will not have a season ticket left to sell.

FORMAL OPENING CHRISTMAS Commissioner Butler, whose de- partment includes the city Auditor- ium, states that he has decided to It is probable these dances will not be started before Ak-Sar-Ben time. The floor will be gone over and the boxes taken out or moved back. “My idea is to give two or three of these dances a week and at least give them ® fair trial. They will, of course, be supervised and I would say that five cents a dance would .be a reasonable charge. The dances would be conducted something similar to those at Manawa,' ald the comm.ssioner, Manager Iranke of the Auditorium favors the proposition and believes the city would derive some revenus, which would be better than keeping the build- ing dark. Earns First Money. The Auditorium last evening earned its first money under municipal control, belng $125 for use of the building for a ball given by colored people. Manager Franke has gone to St. Louls and Chicago and possibly may go to New York city in quest of attractions. He expects to book “The Birth of the Nation", sald to be one of the greatest moving picture spectacies ever present- ed. Beveral Omahans who saw It in New York city Indorse it without re- servation. City officlals expect to make the next Christmas tree celebration in the Audi- torium serve as a formal opening of the building under city control. Plans will be made for an impressive celebra- tion on this occasion. Deserts Wife and Gets Divorce, but William ¥. Drinkle, arrested on charge of child abandonment, was ar raigned in police court and bound over to the district court with bonds fixed at $1,000, Drinkle deserted his wife early in March while was under the care of a physiclan and in a very delicate condi- tion. From Omaha he went to some small town in Jowa, sccured a divorce without her knowledge and had not ascertained how she was secur- ing a livelihood or contributed any money to the support of a son that had been born to them. He was arrested at the Union station last night and when searched at police headquarters one of his principal assets was a large flask of whisky, At the request of County At- torney Magney the bonds with which Drinkle will be released if anyone comes to his rescue will have to be ironclad and from a strictly responsible source.
