"Prince Ali” comes here highly rec ommended as the greatest seer and mind reader that has ever appeared in this country. He has just recent ly completed successful engagements in the Grand Central theatre in St. Louis and the Garden theatre in Kan sas City and Downtown theatre of Omaha. Prince Ali will answer any ques tion pertaining to the past, present and future. In answering questions there is no hesitancy on his part and he answers them with lightning speed.

Miss Clark sings capably, dances clevery and wears stunning costumes with an original I style. Another burlesque favorite, Fred ] Falls Binder, is the principal come dian with the show. He is well known as the little Hebrew With the nervous hands and feet, and his work is characterized by its individuality. Thelma Hane, saucy brunette with a boyish bob, and Ruby DeMilo, dash ing soubrette with a charm all her own, are other features of the show, while the Smith sisters, Pearl and Gladys, dainty entertainers, and a group of pretty, shapely chorus girls, complete the cast of women. A quartet of singers, dancers and comedians, Billy Kelly, Jack LeDuc, Pat McCarthy and Jean Houston, do their share to make the production one of the speediest and most enjoy able to visit Omaha this season. Novel and scenic settings and un usual lighting effects make the eigh teen scenes in the show a veritable kaleidoscope of color and charm, while costuming has been done also upon an elaborate scale. Clever lines and a series of humorous situations add to the quality of the attraction. The Generous Model will appear every night, and there will be a spe cial midnight show Saturday night.
