Omaha additional charm As & remedy for In ! growing highbrowism, there is nothing better than an evening with Thurston He is not only a deft performer whose artistic manipulation is perfect, but he is also an entertainer with gifts as a llight comedian. He loves everything he does; he loves his profession and loves to work at it; he finds recreation in turn ing from one interest to another. He is never fdle, and the smallest undertaking is given the most minute attention. When one considers that Thurston is still in his thirties, his accomplishments seem all the more wonderful. Mr. Thurston will present to every women attending the Wednesday matinee a complete horoscope of her life free. | “A Pair of Sixes,’ comes to the Boyd |theater for three nights, beginning Jan. ary 18 It is by BEdward Peple, the | | author of “The Littlest Rebel” and “Tho | | Prince Chap,” and is in three acts The plot deals with the affairs of George B. Nettleton and T. Boggs John, | partners in a pilll manufacturing busi- | | ness, who are constantly at loggerheads, | each longing to be rid of the other, but | ,neither willing to sell out. Their lawyer | suggests a hand of poker to be played. { with the penalty that the loser shall | quit the business for a year and in the interval serve as a servant in the house- | hold of the winner. John loses and Net- | {tleton and the lawyer both feel he will break the contract rather than stick it out for a year. But he grits his teeth and bravely enters upon his duties as butler in the Nettleton household. He is found here performing his menial duties by his sweetheart, who arrives as the guest of the Nettletons. He cannot ex- {plain his position to her, and there is more trouble for him through the at- tentions of an eccentric English house- maid, who, pursues him for a husband This comical complication is developed through the rapid series of hilarious sit- uations and the fun ratties along until the unfortunate John's sweetheart take a hand in the game and rescues him from the clutches of his partner. The latter, too, I8 glad to end the agreement, for he has mistaken the sympathy of hus wife for the loser and believes that she is in love with him, and his assininity creates an uproarious entanglement of his own. | | { | i Therpsichore again at the Orpheum this week this time in a style of unusual qual- ity. The dancers are Muriel Worth and | Lew Brice. Formerly Miss Worth was in | vaudeville, as a solo dancer, and Mr. | Brice, on the varlety stage, was as- soclated with Sally Gonne, The new combination runs the gamut from trots to classical pantomime dancing. The other headline attraction will be a one- act drama, with the role of the South-| ern heroine entrusted to Genevieve CLff. “A Breath of Old Virginla,” is said to | be strikingly effective.

In ITH two performances today clo “The Battle Cry of Peace,” which has been show- at the Boyd. “The Battle Cry of Peace’ is a moving picture drama which embodfes | the idea of making war against war. The | preparedness agitation in the United | States makes this motlon picture drama of exceptional intorest. The idea of mill tary preparedness is convincingly set forth. Nothing less than a . gigantic declaration of war agamst war s the theme of “The Battle Cry of Peace.” In | the peace picture invasion is pictured on | & vast scale; thousands of soldiers are —_— roles which will win more patrons for “The Spendthrift’ a woman borrows $20,00 without conferring | with her husband.

No matter if you are the most rabid Allles supporter in Omaha, or the higgest German booster, you'll enjoy this pleture, It has noth- ing to do whatever with the present regroettable conflict, but is based on the romantic love story of a German prince at this historic old college. We don’t have to tell you the production has been lavishly mounted and produced—you already expect that. And our Keystone comedy-—your old friend Eddie Foy and his Foyites are featured and 'tis called “A Favorite Fool."” You've seen Bddie and his-no-race-suicide-aggregation #t the Orpheum, now come over and see the whole bunch in pictures, especially Keystones. This picture is also on Sunday and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday comes a wonderful combina- tion—the distinguished American actor, Frank Keenan, in a grip- ping story of the civil war, “THE COWARD," plus Fatty Arbuckle in several thousand feet of joy, “Fickle Fatty's Fall.” You'll never witness a more dramatic picture in your whole ““movie” experience than “THE COWARD,"” or a funnier one than “Fickle Fatty.” This is some combination, isn't {t—sobs for the sobbers—Ilaughs for the laughers. Friday and Saturday we offer a Metro masterplece, Emily Stevens, in “The House of Tears.” We knew fellows were sometimes jealous and girls were jealous—now then we are finding out that even film exchanges have a little of this same “bug,” so in order to keep every one in & happy frame of mind, we beg to state that we are still using Metro pictures every Friday and Saturday—that they are giving excellent satisfaction, and further that ‘“The House of Tears'" is accredited with being one of the strongest pictures ever released by any concern. We don't know what else we could add. JIimng " THE_THEATER OF QUALITY GARDE 1318 Farnam St. SUNDAY, JANUARY 0.
