At the Orpheum HE FOUR Marx urothers and | their big company, who open for a week at the Orpheum with a matinee today In a one- act musical comedy, “Home Agnin," constitite one of the largest as well as funniest beadline productions playing the Or- pheum ofrcult. The plot Is lald fn tw> scenes, the first showing the return of | the Sehneider family from a Furopean Jaunt and the second, Henry Schnelder's villa on the Hudson. Each of the four ‘brothers has a role that fits his ability. Arthur Marx 1s “the nondescript.” leonard is Tony Caponi, Jullus Marx |portrays Ienry Schnelder and Milton IMarx has the part of Henry Schnelder's |milk-fed son. A speclalty fs Introduced i“ the second act by Arthur Marx, while Leonard specializes on the plano, and ‘clever dances are introduced by Roy Fees and Miss Billy DeRex. The Marx Brothers are on the last lap of their {tour of the Orpheum circuit and such {has been thelr success everywhere that E:na lo¢al management feels safe in em- {phasizing commendation of them. A feature of prominence among the Inéadliners of big-time vaudeville and one ‘that I8 so popular in Omaha as to need mo Introduction, is that given by Willa 1olt Wakefield, probably the most fin- ed “planioguist” on the stage.

The first is a funny ereluon‘ called “Copper at 64" and the second is “Poor Buttercup.” Aside from the rich comedy and witty repartee, there is a | sprinkling of delightful new and e-tchy‘ songs, with a refreshing array of pretty girls, who not only sing with strength, harmony and sweetness, but are well| trained and graceful dancers. Babe La! Tour, a pretty, winsome and vivaclous soubrette, is the support of Bert Baker, | the star of “The Bon Tons.” Then there | are Lucille Manion, Mabel McCloud, Rose Ford, Leo Hoyt, Micky Feoley, Sam Hyams, Mike Forster and many others.

Tickets Now—Auditorium Box Office PRICES: $1.00, $2.00 and $2.50 We've Always Had A “Sneaking” Suspicion that some of our ‘‘messages of hot air’’ would be held up to the classes in Rhetoric as ‘‘a horrible, living example of bad English.”’ Honestly, we once had the nerve to pull ads of this kind in a university town—a la Lincoln—where each and Virgil by heart,”’ where the newspapers contain sentences longer and more complex than those the budding-begin- ning student of Latin encounters in Caesar, and where culture reigns supreme, even the newsboys addressing you: ‘‘Wouldn’st thou purchase a newspaper, esteemed sir,”” but where, we are sorry to say, the last war they know anything of is the Civil. However, our business got o ‘“‘rotten’’ we had to hire a long-haired, spectacled youth of much brain and grammar, but no slang, to pre- pare our ad copy. Anyway, as Billy Sunday expressed it, “‘we are writing ads that appea! to the people of today,” and now that we have gotten the above remarks out of our system, we will proceed to tell you about our “bread and butter” for this week. Don’t you enjoy a story about regular, common human beings like yourself—you know where tliey ride around in “Fords” instead of automobiles with names of three syllables; where there aren't fourteen different kinds of flunkles parading around in uniforms bedecked with brass buttons, and where some ham actor does not pretend to spend seven or eight million dollars nonchalantly. Any- way what we are trying to tell vou is this—The picture we have on tap Sunday and Monday is called “The Turn of the Road,” and it's about a cuss who makes, well we'll say a hundred and ten dollars a month, who has a very nice wife and charming little boy, and who is as happy as a Lark on a June morning until the Vampire enters the scene in the guise of a girlhood friend of his wife's. Then the guy loses his head—you know how they do {t—tries to run away with this Vampire. (Question: Why do they always have black- headed women for Vamps?); something goes wrong with the auto (we presume so the director can put an extra punch in the picture), husband comes back to wifie with a hang-dog look on his face, and never goes out after nine o’'clock at night thereafter. It's one of those happy ending pictures. We also have two corking good pictures the rest of the week, but as it costs about a dollar a word to narrate, we can only say that TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY we offer Willlam Farpum, that likeable cuss, in “THE WONDERFUL ADVENTURE,” a thrilling mystery story, followed Friday and Saturday by a story of woman, wine and song (sounds like one of Pa Johnson’s Gayety ads), THE RECKONING, which is full of pep as well as interesting action
