GURANTEED ATTRACTION AT THE GAYETY THEATRE Old Man Johnson Puts Ills ‘‘John Hen ry” Under the Indorsement of ‘‘M ine, Momim and Song". In thorough accord with the policy of bigger and better burlesque institut ed by the Columbia Circuit for this season, is I/ewis Talbot’s "Wine, Wom an and Song” company at the popular Oayety for the week beginning Satur day matinee. In two big, colorful acts—“Hello Mars” and “Plantation Days” it is said to be brimming over with hearty laughs and tuneful songs. In all there Is a kaleidoscopic array of seven big scenes unfolded during its action. One of these occurs on the planet Mars, to which Bert Bertrand the chief corn elian has been speeded in an huge projectile. More “earthly” Is the dramatic spectacle, “Plantaion Days”, in which Uncle Tom, Little Eva and a certain hooded “klan” get all mixed up in clever burlesque with a comedy “kick”. Another company ensemble will be special incidents in two num bers with individual members of the chorus “stopping out" for favor with entertaining sisecialtles. Gertrude italBton will sing the prima donna roles and will lead numbers. Her singing of “Play in Your Own Back Yard” is declared to be a beauti ful conversation of a "crooning” song into sweetest melody. “Wine, Woman and Song” promises a bevy of chorus beauties and show girls that have created comment and admiration in other cities. The re ports preoeeding this organization are all favorable. Patrons of musical bur lesque may look with confidence to “Wine, Woman and Song” for pleas ing entertainment. Sunday night "Wine, Woman and Song” will present two separate and complete performances beginning at 8:30 and 11:30 respectfully. The oc casion for the 11:30 show Is to sup ply the annual New Year’s Eve mid nite performance for which the Gay ety alone has been famous Tor years, it having originated the midnlte show Idea many seasons ago. To make the event one to be remem bered until the next one rolls around, Old Man Johnson is preparing noval man and Umelv stunts that will be sym bolical of the death of the old year and the birth of the new year. “Wine, Woman and Song’’ will be the attrac tion and there will be a Jamboree of high Jinks and good fun that will be unlimited and It wouldn’t be surpris ing if the roof should be tilted a bit -1 by the enthusiasm and joy of tht 1 theatreful that will attend the Gay » ety’s watch-meeting performance. Tht , house will be open at 11:00; curtain r at 11:30—all will be out and over al . 1:45 Monday morning January 1, 1923 The demond for seats for the mid r night show has always been In excess ■ of the supply; It will be well to get tickets early rather than to take ! chances on being disappointed at the last minute. ' ladles' matinee at 2:15 daily all week starting Tuesday. Sunday’s ma in ee starts at 3:00 as will the gala i holiday matinee New Year’s Day. THE DEATH OP THE REV. MR. COSTELLO To Whom It Mav Conrern: This is to certify that the Rev. John H. Costello died In good and regular standing with the Spring Hill Baptist church. In a conversation between him and the pastor two days prior to his death he disclosed the following facts, “I am ready and willing to die and wish death would hurry on to re lieve me, because no one knows how I suffer with pain. My body has made mistakes, but that’s all right; rny spir itual body has corrected them.” His departing words wede: "Babe, babe,” speaking to Mrs. Sills, “1 am sick, I am sick, I am sick unto death.” With these words he departed this life. MRS. M. LACY, Secretary. REV. BRUCE, Pastor. ALLEN CHAPEL A. MU E. CHURCH 25th and R Street. Market 34'/5 .... O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Sunday being Christmas Eve was an interesting day with us. The morning service was not largely attended. The Sunday school program arranged by the Superintendent, W. M. Cortes, as sisted by Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Redd, proved a great success. The Christ mas tree that followed the program was a delightful affair. The pastor’s Booster Club was in evidence as usual. Mrs. Elizabeth Clark, the president, with her workers, Mrs. Ruth Redd, Laura Jefferson and Sarah Jones and their friends, made the pastor very happy by presenting him a neat ana much needed sum of money for one of his Christmas gifts, this sum being supplemented by personal donations from W. C. Mallord and Joe Redd. The pastor highly appreciates the sum given and all other presents he receiv ed through his church members and friends and the prayer of his heart is that he may prove himself worthy of their respect and Christian coopera tion. Sunday at morning and evening the pastor will preach New Year ser mons. Plan to attend church on the last Sunday of the old year. You will be made welcome. Mother Helm is much better at this writing. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH TO HOLD REVIVAL Beginning Sunday night, Dee. 31st, Bethel A. M. E. church on Franklin between 24th and 25th, will engage in a Great Revival. The pastor, Rev.

D., of Lincoln, a great preacher who needs no introduction to those who have been to Lincoln in the last year and heard him in our church there, will be in town Monday, Jan. 1st, and as sist in the meeting. It is not often that we are able to secure such a man, busy pastor as he is, to give his time in such a meeting, and we are glad to have the opportunity to present him to the people of Omaha. If you come early in the meeting we are assured of your presence throughout the meet ings without further urging. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST.

J., Dee 29.—{Crusader Service.)—A Klan of the Knights of the Invisible Empire received its char ter from the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan at a meeting ecently at 17 West Park street, without hin drance front two Newark detectives who were in the building but did not interrupt, the meeting. The meeting initiated seventy-five new members and heard a "message of world-wide importance" from the Imperial Cyc lops of the Klan. The new Klan was christened George Washington Klan, No. 3, of the Realm of New Jersey. At the same time, not very far away from the meeting of the Klan there was held an organizational meeting of the African Blood Brotherhood, one of the most militant Negro organiza tions in the country and reputed to have organized Negroes in their own defence at Tulsa, Okla. The meeting was held as a result of many com munications from residents of Newark to the Supreme Council of the organ ization at 2299 Seventh Avenue, asking that a Post of the Brotherhood be or ganized in Newark to meet the grow ing Klan menace. In response to these requests and communicaitions two organizers of the A. B. B. had been sent to Newark. It is said that fully fifty persons attended the meet ing which was marked with far more effective secrecy than was the meet ing held by the Klan. SOLDIER WHO INTERRUPTED SENATOR HITCHCOCK CREATING COMMENT Washington, Dec. 29—The gallery incident in the Senate when Lucius J. Jones, the wounded colored soldier, arose and attempted to ask Senator Hitchcock a question, has provoked considerable comment and discussion throughout the country. Practically all of the daily papers that have given mention to the incident sympathize with the wounded soldier, and many are they that declare the propriety of Jones’ action. The Hearst papers argue that it would be a good thing if the U. S. Senate rules were so amended that the public might ask questions from the gallery at special sessions. Lucius J. Jones, he convalescent wounded soldier, seemingly passes much of his time attending sessions in the Senate and since the incident just mentioned, he has received con siderable recognition from many sen ators and persons in the executive ana diplomatic families. Mrs. Sawyer, wife of General Sawyer and Mrs. Harding’s private secretary, have, as well as Secretary of War Weeks, had personal chats with Mr. Jones and manifested a very kind and friendly interest in him. JAPANESE STUDYING AMERICAN RACE PROBLEM Tokyo, Japan, Dec. 28.—Professor S. Konishi of the faculty of literature, Kioto university, Japan, who visited Hampton institute a few months ago, contributed to the October number of Taiyo (The Sun, one orf the leading monthly magazines of Japan) a six page illustrated article on "Race Pro blems and Education in the United States of America” and introduced to his friends ‘‘the admirable work of Hampton and Tuskcgee.” Professor Konishi included photographs of Gen eral Armstrong, Dr. Washington, Dr. Moton, Tuskegee campus, and two Hampton classrooms (girls studying science and hodys studying agricul tural chemistry). SHERIFF-ELECT ENDRES APPOINTS WRIGHT DEPUTY Sheriff-Elect Michael L. Endres has appointed Dudley Wright, a deputy sheriff. Robert Johnson was appli cant for this position and was slated for it, but his appointment was con sidered ill-advised. Wright has been a member of the police force and ought to make a good man on Sheriff En dren’s force. CHI8TMA8 BALL SOCIAL FEATURE The Christmas ball given by the North End Amusement club at the De Luxe hall was a brilliant social and financial success.

(<£) by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Swiftly the fog rolled In over the cove. Like a chill, yielding blanket it pressed down on the little village. The men who had been out in their boats came to shore and prepared to spend the time repairing nets and doing the numerous odd Jobs that were left for Just such weather. In one of the larger houses in the village a husky young fisherman stood for a moment at the window, looking Into the grayness. After a while, with a shake of his head, he turned away and again put on his oilskins. “Now, surely, Tom, you're not going out again in this fog. I never did see such an uneasy boy in my life.” “Well, you know. Aunt Myra, I can see just as well in the fog. I've got fog eyes, you know,” and with a luugh he was gone, leaving his aunt shaking her head. Swiftly he reached the beach, and pushing off the light dory, skillfully threaded his way among the boats and put out to the open sea. It did seem as though he hud a sixth sense of di rection, for there was no hesitancy in the way he drove the boat through the dimness. "I guess Ned Bentley won’t tackle this kind of work today. He’ll take the road to Mary's and I'll beat him by over an hour. He can't slip any thing over me.” The stillness would have been un canny to anyone else but a born sea faring man, for there was a peculiar quality about it, unlike any land still ness. Suddenly Tom’s trained ear noted a sound, a steady, slow pulsing on his left. "One of the liners coming in," ha murmured to himself, and again he dreamed his dreams of being one of the gold-braided officers who trod so proudly the decks of the great ocean ships. A sudden riffie of wind and a light lifting of the fog. Aguin the stillness, the throbbing of slowly moving en gines, and the noise from the power fully wielded oars. Then came a stronger breeze than before and this time the fog lifted clearly for a mo ment. In that instant a picture leuped clear on the sea. Slowly the great ■hip came on, and under her bows, like a pigmy crouched at the feet of a j giant, was a tiny boat. Swiftly it slipped into the deep trough mude by the ship, balanced ernzily for h second, then overturned, and its one occupant was beneath the oncoming bows. In an instant Tom knew who was In that boat, even though he was too far distant to see the face clearly. So Ned had taken the chance and lost out. Fate had taken a hand In the game and had played on Tom’s side. There was nothing he could do, he argued. There was no reason why he should risk his own life on a fool’s errand. It wasn't possible that anyone could be swept under those great bows and live. So he rowed steadily on, but hi« strokes had somehow lost their power. The ours moved slower and slower, then stopped, and the boat drifted. Tom battled alone In the fog and silence. Then suddenly shaking himself as though to drive off some unwished for power, he turned the boat buck. After ward It seemed for him that for hours he had rowed through the fog, calling Ned's name and searching the dim waters. Then he had found him, drugged him into the boat, whether dead or not, he did not know, and hud rowed with ail his might to Mary's home. It was night when Tom opened his eyes In a quiet, unfamiliar room. He could hear a fire sputtering gayly near by, and the gleam from a softly shaded lamp came from another room. There was a soft movement near him and a warm, gentle hund touched his. He turned his head and gazed into blue eyes near his own. He was amazed to see the tears gather while he gazed; It must be that Mary consid ered him little better than a murderer because of the time he had lost getting to Ned's rescue, and she was crying because of It. “Is—Ned—” He stopped, unable to ask his question. “Ned Is alive and well, thanks to you, Tom. You saved his life and risked your own getting him over the rocks that night. You got him nearly to the piazza, then slipped and struck your head. Ned comes every day to ask for you. and I think he likes to see my cousin, who Is here with me, too,” and a tender little smile touched her mouth. "Every day?” Tom repeated. "How long have I been hrfre?” "You've been here five weeks, Tom, and, oh, how thankful I wus when the delirium left you. It was terrible to hear you rave about that night.” Tom groaned. If he had raved about that night she would know Just how he had felt. It was impossible for a girl like Mary to cure for a man who 1 bad had black, murderous thoughts In bla mind. Soft fingers drew his hand from his eyes. He turned his head and looked Into the face beside his pillow. y' “Mary,” he gasped, answering look In her eyes. ,* There was a sudden movement towards the bed. A soft mouth touched his. A form darkened the open door for an Instant, then Mary’s futher drew softly back and chuckled to himself, “Guess the boy'll get well fast now." Don't sneer at the man who fails, but remember that he at least dared to try. Hope is the mainspring of effi ciency. A nation is no better than its home life, and its home life is no better than that nation’s womanhood. We are so busy keeping the wolf from our door until we haven’t time to let is the Angel. - —- — ■■ - ^ ; 31 liHIIIM I Reid—Duffy Pharmacy j 24th and Lake Sts. | Free Delivery Webster 0801 | *• T.
