Is to be presented at the American this week. when Miss Lang and the Woodward players will show for the first time In Omaha "The Widow's Might," a very clever three-act comedy. It Is full of good lines from start to finish, tells a good story, and shows that the widow really knows how to do things even If the man In the case thought she didn't. The leading role Is one that will give Miss Lang some excellent chances, and Mr. Uurkhardt and the other members of the company will also have good parts. Mr. Woodward has been giving personal attentions to the production, aud Is confident the patrons of the theater will enjoy his efforts to give them another good comedy. The first performance will bo on Sunday afternoon. Mutlnees will be played on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as usuiiL "The Man Krom Home," In which William llndge comes to the Uoyd next Thursday and Friday nights. Is widely accepted as one of the very best examples of American dramatic writing shown on the stsge In recent years. Its authors, Llooth Tarklngton and Harry Leon Wil son, present the seemingly paradoxical proposition of writing a purely American comedy and having its entire action take place In Italy.

Cohan to in clude the popular author and composer's stirring "American Ragtime" for the list. Starting tomorrow, there will be a la dles' dime matinee daily. . i Nothing heretofore attempted haa de monstrated the advancement of the mov ing picture as has the picture of Dante's "Inferno," now belug shown at the Hoyd theater. These pictures, posed In Italy, by Italian artist of fame, follow with such fidelity the Inspired poem of Pants that they seem to cany the auditor lu reality through the "Inferno" of the im mortal poet. Dante, at the age of iS. finds himself In the midst of a dark and gloomy forest, which means that he Is i beset by doubts as to the mystery of life. He attempts to reach the summit of mountain, hoping to find Joy and peace, but Is barred by a panther, a lion and a she wolf, symbolizing lust, pride and avarice. ' He then meets Virgil, a pious poet, mho tells him that Beatrice has sent him to conduct him safely through the "Inferno" on his -way to Purgatory and Paradise, and then the Journey bejrlns with the moxt realistic scenes that It would be possible, to Imagine, following' the great poet's ver sion with unerring fidelity throughout the Journey. Danto's recognition of many he has known on eath is a pathetic object lespon, beautifully portrayed. The pic tures are shown twice dally at the Boyd at 3;lo and 8:30. with special music and a most Interesting and instructive and en tertaining lecture. I $ At the Krug all week starting today "ST.aUah's Own Company" will be on view, and tho patrons of Manaser Frankejs popular theater are promised an enter tainment that In many respects equals the offerings In the lilgh-prlecd houses throughout the country. The services of George Totten Bmlth, one of the leading young American writers, were enlisted to evolve suitable vehicles for the enter prise, and "A Dross Bchearsal at the Folies Bergere" and "The Unkissod Oriental" are the titles of the two skits that resulted. The scenic artists and the costumera were given carte blanche to properly furnish the company . with an equipment that would be second to no other organisation. A carefully selected company has been engaged. Including Nora May, 1-eath Koeney, Mae Rose and May Belle, four exceptionally handsome and talented women. The comedy ele ment Is In the able hands of Harry Bent ley, Lew Christy, Tom Barrett. Lew Seeker. Ralph Bamone and Ike Wall. Vaudeville specialties will be given by MUe. Vortex, Bcntley and Christy, Mae Rose and Barrett and BelL A chorus of twenty selected American beauties will prove one of the most pleasing portion of the program. Zallali, the remarkable Kgyptlon dancer, will positively appear at every performance.
