Omaha has had the oppor tunity of seeing the Smarter Set in its new musical comedy, "The Children of the Sun.” Wherever the company has shown, there has been an enthus iastic reception and a unanimity of opinion to the effect that it is the j best show ever produced by a colored company. The music, the dancing, comedy and singing were set to a riot <j£ beautiful scenery such as has never been seen in a race play before. To at tempt to congratulate personally the performers would be incomplete with out the mention of every member of the company, because each one meas ; ured completely up to his or her part | and performed it with a zest and per | fection that was pleasing and happy. As all of our readers know, the play was taken from the book, “The Chil dren of the Sun,” written bv George Wells Parker of this city. Not only was the name borrowed, but the mes sage was worked out with an abandon of music, laughter and song that brought it straight to the heart and i mind of every person who witnessed ! the play. The first act provides the theme—the search for the original | home of the black races—“The Chil dren of the Sun.” Upon the advice of a Japanese student, the party goes first to Japan. Abraham Washing ton's spectacular entrance into the scene, having fallen from the airship, brought a scream of laughter from the audience and it was continued as J be pursued his course in making the | acquaintance of Cherry Blossom, the I Japanese maid. The latter part was j taken by Miss Carrie King and she proved herself a deligihtful little char acter whose singing and dancing cap tivated the house. The Shinto priest bc-lieves that Ab raham is a god, but when he learns that he Is not a god, but a seeker of the gods, he informs him that the pre historic black men of Japan came from India. The delegation then starts for Indian and no more delight ful a conception could have been worked out. Fakirs, snake charmers, harem dancers, and beggars meet the I travelers, and show them a riotus I time. But India proves only one step in the journey and they are pointed toward Susa, the ancient capital of Persia. The Persia scene was artistically beautiful and historically great. Susa was called the city of lilies and the grove blossomed with lilies, while in the background was the city of clas sic beauty. The secred dance to the sun was here performed and It was a thing of culture, delight and sweet ness. It was here that the bandits captured the delegates and would have made life miserable for them had not the chief discovered Abra ham’s taisman which linked him as a brother. Then came the Egyptian scene which sohwed the statue of Memnon in the foreground and the sphinx, pyramids and long stretching desert in the background. Abraham and his brother, Gabe, reach the monument and are almost dying from thirst. Gabe leaves Abe at the foot of the statue and goes to seek water. When he leaves Abe sings, “What the Use?” a humorous song, tinged with comic sadness and filled with droll philos ophy. As he closes he takes out his talisman and tells it that if It was ever good for anything to prove it then. The thunders roll, the light nings flash and the statutes speaks. An unseen hand passes out food and drink and after Abe is refreshed and the party comes up, they are told to go to Ethiopia, wthich is the real home of the “Children of the Sun.’’ As they ■ ■iminiii ■fliaiaititaiaaaaaaiaataiiauaaia ••••tint For Sale ] 8-room house with bam; modem except heat, $3,000.00 = = —$500 cash, $30 per month. 2 6 rooms modem, except heat, $2,500—$250 cash, bal- E = ance $20 per month. 5 Apartment house bargain.

Miss Grace Howell, as the goddess, is a wonder ful dancer and her strict adheranee to the hieratic code of dancing marks her as a true interpreter of the spirit of Old Egypt. The final scene is the throne of Empress Zaudita of Ethiopia. It is a marvelously worked out conception and truly in keeping with the ancient glory and magnificence of the ancient empire. Here the empress receives the pilgrims, tells them of the story of ‘‘The Children of the Sun,’' and makes them members of her court. In "The Children of the Sun" a new pace is set for colored shows and a new standard of appreciation for the public. Wliile the humor of Abe was rich and screamingly funny, it as sumed a philosophy at times that was pleasing and deeply significant. C.abe, the foil for the witty ignorance of Abe. was a happily conceived charac ter. There was so much good in the play and so much art in the players, that it would require a volume to pay a proper tribute to each and to spell out the lesson that lay beneath the tinsel and fun. In conclusion it is worth wliile to mention that Mr. James .1. Vaughn, musical director, wrote out the music for the entire show and developed a wealth of ancient melody and har mony. Since there is practically no history or science of ancient music, Mr. Vaughn composed everything from imagination and all agree that his imaginatioa has served him re markably well.

Search of the attic of the White house execu tive offices for records which may enable his tribe to collect $5,500,000 from the government has begun by Chief Grindstone of the Pitt River Indian tribe of California. The chief, who has retained legal assistance in his efforts, said the money was due under treaties negotiated in 1851 by which the Indians gave up valuable lands, but failed to receive the stipu lated compensations, as the treaties were never ratified.
