Healey and{'™ PRESIDENT CONVENT OF MERCY ALUMNAE. To many of the local Swedish sing- ers ‘these words mean the realization of a long cherished dream. Ever since the organization of this union of singers in 1892 some one or several of the local society have at- tended the conventions and festivals in different parts of the country and they have always felt that some day the psychological moment would ar- rive for Omaha to extend its invita- tion to these singers and have the same accepted. And, sure enough, that moment ar- rived, when, four years ago at Duluth, the local society, “Norden,” captured the 1916 festival for our city. Feel- ing confident in Omaha's ability to stand back of them in their assertions, they let it be known that our eity was determined to play the' part of host to this convention in a manner that would be a revelation to the Amer- ican Union of Swedish Singers in their many years of festival experience. The date of the festival is\now but a few days ahead and the local sing- ers feel extremely gratified that every promise made for the pleasure and entertainment of the visiting singers will be more than redeemed, thanks to the splendid support given the local festival organization, headed by Messrs. 5. Simonson, Francis Sieborg and John Larson, fest president, secre- tary and treasurer, respectively. The various business organizations, the splendid press of the city and state, as well as musical societies and indi- Want New Trial of Kenelly Will Case A request for a trial has been made in the case involving the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Kennelly, who left her $50,- estate to hef nephew, John J. Dinneen, the former base ball player, but which will was declared invalid udge Wakeley's court, ther relatives of Mrs, Kennelly declared that Mrs. Kennelly was in- competent to make a will and that the will was made under undue in- fluence. Dinneen, year: old “Originals, CHARLIE CHAPLIN AT THE EMPRESS MONDAY Charlie Chaplin returns to the Em- press Monday in a comedy entitled “The Fireman."” In this feature Chap- lin is an heroic fire fighter and he does some of his best comedy, Beginning today the screen bill ‘includes “The Trail of the Thief,” with Winnifred Greenwood playing the part of the woman detective, * She finds the man who is waoing her is a criminal at the head of a band of desperate crooks. How the man is brought to justice is the story. “Preparedness” is a com- edy with George Ovey. “Nailing On the Lid” is the latest Vogue comedy. #fitunl Weekly No. 75 completes the ill, . » Beginning Thursday, “The Pilgrim,” a western drama of an exceptional theme, heads the bill. “John Brew- ster's Wife,” another number, is the nor{ of a woman who tires of the small town life and returns to the stage. Her husband is very' proud and he tells her never to return. In after years she prevents his bank be- mg robbed. He learns this through a letter, and his r’ride mcllin', they are reunited. “A Plane Story” is one of those funny Vogue comedies, “Reel Life” for the second release pictures of the Blackfoot Indians in their,na- tive habitation, an instructive and en- tertaining film, THREE BIG STARS ON STRAND BILL THIS WEEK st Three stars like William S. Hart, Tully Marshatl and William Farnum are enough to guarantee any program. This is what the Strand offers this week, with the result that there must naturally be a good show all the time. Sunday the attraction is William S. Hart in a tale of the Canadian woods, “The Primal Lure,” followed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with a thrilling story of Apache li¥c in Paris called “A Child of the Paris Streets” and co-starring Mae Marsh and Tully Marshall, while for Friday and Sat- urday William Farnum holds forth in “A Battle of Hearts." Each of these pictures are ex- tremely good and represent the lat- est word in modern motography, so you aye assured of a good program, no matter when you go. ago, played on the BEATRIZ MICHELENA IN “UNWRITTEN LAW"” Beatriz Michelena, who has been contributing to The Bee for some time, will be seen at the Strand Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday, June 20, 21 and 22, in her greatest screen success, “The Unwritten Law.” This drama, which was written by Edwin Milton Royle, is too well known to Omaha picture and theater-goers to need any introduction; suffice to say that in picture form it lends itself most adaptly to a pleasing visualiza- tion and sm ds the zudience through- out. Miss Michelena, who is one of the most beautiful actresses before the camera today, bas a part suited to her type of emotional acting, while the supporting company and settings are all that could be desired, In all it is a splendid achicvement of the art of motography.

In return for the splendid hospital- ity of the city the 50(? visiting singers stand ready to give their very best. For many months the societies consti- tuting' the union have drilled‘on the mass chorus numbers selected for this festival, under their respective direc- tors, the general lines of interpreta- tion for these numbers having been given by Director-in-Chief Joel Moss- berg of Chicago, and the rehearsal of the grand ensemble which will start Monday morning and will last until every wish of the director-in-chief is fulfifled, will find every singer perfect in his part and with observant CKC watching for eyery nuance that the baton may call for. Aside from this a dozen of the vis- iting choruses will appear in selections in t%e preparation of which they have put their very soul, anxious as they are to excel their aclomplishments at former festivals, In selecting vocal soloists for this festival one could hardly imagine a happier choice than Mme. Marie Sun- derius. soprano, of Boston, and Albert Lindquest, tenor, of Chicago. They have appeared numerous times at these festivals, wherever held, and are always in demand, they being richly endowed artists as well as most pleas- ing persons. ¥ The one. instrumental soloist en- aged for this festival is: Miss Corinne ?’nulson, well known not only in Omaha, which is the cradle of her artistic career, but also in musical cen- ters in the east and Europe,,she hav- ing filled engagements in the larger piano works with such organizations as the Berlin Philharmonic, New York Symphony and other famous orchestras. One of the grand ensemble num- THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; JUNE 11, L ok Joel Mossberg OIRECTOR- 1~ CHIES bers at this festival is the famous “Landsighting,” by Edward Grieg. The incidental solo in this number will ‘be_sung by Carl Norrbom of Sioux City, who is also director of the chorus from that place. Mr. Ernest Nordin, who has as- sembled and rehearsed the festival orchestra of fifty pieces, is himself an old-time singing festival enthusiast and director, he having led the local society, “Norden,” to glorious achievement at one of these festivals in the days when competitive singing was the custom, and a prize banner was carried home by the victors. Of Mr. Joel Mossherg, director in chief for the American Union of Swedish Singers, it has been said that “his heart as well as his baton beats for the boys.” Needless to say “the boys” are for him and with him in any musical effect he wishes to bring forth, and the results are gratifying to the boys as well as pleasing to the music-loving public. For the next few days the Messrs. Glooms_and Dull Cares may as well take to the tall timbers, for they will find no place to hold sessions in Oma- ha. The city will reverberate the smiles and songs of 500 happy sing- ers expressing love for home and folks, admiring nature and its beauty, making merfy in tales of adventure and humor, 3uickening the pulse of patriotism and reverercing the maker and keeper of all things—sentiments and passions that are common to all mankind, but in the expression of which through the male chorus litera- ture the sons of Svea occupy a place universally recognized as unique. . The general program for the Amer- ican Union of Swedish Singers' con- vention and festival concerts is as follows: Monday, June 19—Rehearsal in the fore- noon at the Omaha Auditorfum.

By M. J. WISEFELDT, Manager Mutugl Film Exchange. The people want to go “some- where.” It 18 one of our great Ameri- can habits. “Where will we go?” Since motion pictures have becom part of ou daily life, it is not necessary to make an ap- pointment with our sweet- eart, your wife, or anyone dear to you to attend the thea~ ter. You simply put on your hat and coat and go to the picture show with the family. 4 heart, your wife, or anyone dear to you to at- tend the theater. You simply put on your hat and coat and go to the pic- ture show with the family. This in part explains the astonishing attendance figures for the 18,000 mo- tion picture theaters in this country. But the motion pictures have not won all their patrons yet. This is true in certain localites. Probably there is a picture theater in your neighborhood which is not ap- Yu]mg to you. * What is the reason? s it the lack of good management? Does the theater suffer from poor ventilation? Have the managers in the past presented the cheapest qual- ity of pictures? There is a reason, There are thousands of successful, paying theaters, These are the theaters conducted under a strict business administration. Better pic- tures, better presentation and bet- ter theaters is the trend today. The motion picture theater that is not properly supported by the entire community must continually give bet- ter shows to succeed. Did you ever notice when attend- ing a strictly high class theater, that when you purchased your admission you were greeted with a pleasant smile and a “thank you” by the cashe ier? Then when you were ready to make your entrance, the doorman ac- cepted your ticket with a pleasant smile and a “thank you"? Being po- lite is one of the hardest things to instill in the minds of the attaches of a theater, and it is not that they checially desire to pe otherwise. n one of the leading theaters of Chicago, the manager every 8o oiten holds what he calls “politeness drills.” The attaches, from the car- riage attendant, ticket man, doorman and ushers are subjected to this drill. These drills have had a definite re- sult for it enubled this manager to “brush up” those attendants inclined to be careless and educate those who were not entirely certain of them- selves, Lack of courtesy is due to the man- ufer of the house and to no one else. If ¢the manager of the theater is on the job, and he should be, he cannot help knowing whether his patrons crees such expressions should be are greeted with “Thank you"” or ———— The Art of Presenting Motion Pictures “Pardon me,” when politeness de- crees such expressions should be used or whether they are gruffly greeted and rudely jostled about. The next time you attend a picture show, take particular notice of the caliber of subjects presented upon the screen,/ the music that accompanies the filth, the conduct of the employes and then, if it is not up to the stan- dard, inform the house manager. If he is a live wire he will be glad to receive suggestions that might tend to improve the comfort of his patrons and enhance the value of this enter- tainment. The best theaters request suggestions from their patrons; that is why they are successful. Note—Next week we will present on this page & special article written by J. E, Kirk, manager of Pathe Exchange, Inc., Omaha office, the subject of which will be “Spe- dlllli-l‘ on Programs.” DIVORCE PROBLEM ON GAYETY BILL TODAY Today at the Gayety the World Film corporation presents “The Perils of Divorce,” It tells the story of a man who sees another man kissing his wife’s hand. Of course she was mis- trusted by force of circumstances and divorced by her husband, only to find in later years, when it was too late, that she had ever been a trusworthy wife and mother. It brings up the perils of easy divorce getting. 4 In “The Evil Thereof” the pursuit of the almighty dollar is pictured in bold colors by the Famous Players. The story is a screen philippic against the evils of money that is spent only for self-gratification, regardless of the human cost at which it is bought. It is on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day. %riday and Saturday Louise Huff makes her first screen appearance in “Destiny’s Toy.” Miss Huff has joined the Paramount forces and will appear in many of their coming pie- tures. “HER MATERNAL RIGHT” AT THE FARNAM TODAY Kitty Gordon in “Her Maternal Right" appears at the Farnam today in'a World Film corporation feature play.

He later mar- ries a good girl, and she, learning of his shortage, forces the actress to make it up. Kitty Gordon is as good on the screen as she was on the legiti- mate stage. “PEG 0’ THE RING” IS AT .
