For the next few days Omaha Is 'to have mora of cood things than the folks I j 'l, lll know what to do with. The Hat of amasements from which to choose Is euch Cia will pussle t ' most of us to make a chofco as to which to see first. It la only to be hoped, for the sake of the managers.; that schedules can be so arranged that the public will ret around to see all. i The announcement that Maude -Adams is to appear at the Brandels theater Tuesday and .Wednesday, May 4 and 5, with ma tinea Wednesday, in a special re vival of "Quality Street." will unques tionably please any number of people who admire the actress and appreciate the 'work of tlie .Scotch dramatist, J. M. Barrle. la the Jong and varied range of characters that Mlas Adams has played It Is only natural that some of them Stand out with greater prominence than others. This is not always due to the merit of interpretation, but to Individual liking of story and) characterization. To a great many people two of Miss Adams' ' characterizations will always stand out clearly and distinctly. These are Lady Babble In The Little Minister" and Phoebe Throssell in "Quality Street" The stories In which these characters were set made a strong appeal to all those who still had any sentiment and romance left In their heads. And no one will dispute that gray hairs often cover very youthful Ideals. Phoebe Throasell has always had any number of admirers. Bhe is youthful, she is old fashioned and trusting. Innocent of, the world outside her little village, and your young blade and your roysterer get a dif ferent angle on the world when they come Into ber presence. Her fascination Is felt by youth of' both sexes, and as has been intimated there is no age limit where nntlmentallty comes into play. "Quality Street" deals with old-fashioned people, of a period of life long ago, and unfolds a charming love story in which Phoebe and the manly Valentine Brown are the principal figures. The company surrounding Miss Adams Is made up of prominent players. Zoa Harnett in "The Red Rose," sup ported by an excellent company, will ap pear at the Brandeis theater for two days, Msy S and 9. At the Boyd thla week Paul Arm strong's study in applied . crime, "The Deep Purple," will be presented, the first I i-rformance being at the matinee this lUernoon, and the bill running all week, ith the regular matinees on Wednesdsy, Thursday and Saturday. In "The Deep I'uriile" a complete set of thrills i pro Uj! for each of the four acts, and a tale of gripping Interest Is unfoldej aa the progress of some unsavory persons Is noted. The principal figure is Goidon I. y lock, from the west, who has LMled I Is man and robbed his train, and feeks New York as a haven of rest from the pursuit of the western sheriffs, who in tend sending him to prison. He there en counters the New York crook in the per sons of Harry Leland and "Old Fop" C.ark. who will do anything except "take a chance." Laylock kills Iceland before the curtain finally goes down, to the la '.ense delight of. the audience. 'Frisco Kate, who is trying to live "square;" Vllllam Lake, a young mining man whose rome is in New York,; Doris Moore, girl a ho has been lured from home by L nd, and mho Is saved by Lake and Kate, ire the other leading characters, and iround them move several police offl Ula, all - crooks but one, and Lake's nother and sister. Mr. Lynch will have he role of Lake, Miss Gates Is to play Frisco Kate. Mr. Llndholm will be Gor ton Laylock, Mr. Price playa Leland. Visa Dewar playa Doris Moors nd Mr. rauie Adams Connif to tht 2rf?vJ' JZ&Zeu Emtrorth Dais ' At.thcBoid. Horn will play "Old Pop" Clark, one of the moat unique characters ever visual ized. For the regular "society" night mu sical attraction on Tuesday evening Man ager Burgess hss engaged Mrs. Lena Ells worth Dale for a second appearance. Bhe will sing a program of her own selection. Three conspicuous features are to be presented as stellar acts this week at the Orpheum. One is to be contributed by Blckel and Watson; another by Brandon Hurst and company and a third is to be W. Horellk's ensemble. Comedians of the eccentrlo type, who for several seasons tore the funmaklng burden with Zleg f eld's "Follies" are Blckel and Watson, the best known farceurs on the variety stage. Brandon Hurst and two associate players are to present a new one-act play by Edward Peple, author of "The Prince Chap" and "The Littlest Rebel. This vaudeville offering, alive with clever lines and a unique situation, la called "The Girl." The title character, by the way, does not appear. Two "men and a male servant are the people of the play. Four teen people, some of them the most re markable dancers ever brought to this country, will appear In the pantomime story, "The Gypsy Camp." - The act is known as W. Horellk's ensemble. Russian folk dances and astonishing ' acrobatlo feats are some of the elements of the performance. Elsa Ruegger, reputed as the world's greatest woman 'cellist, is well known to music lovers of Omaha. On ber present tour of the Orpheum circuit she is assisted by the renowned con ductor, Edmund Lichtensteln. A plotless comedy trifle, "At Trouvllle," is to be contributed by Butler Havlland and Alice Thornton. "The Girl from Milwaukee" is a vocalist richly endowed with a con tralto voice. She la aa attractive. It is said, as she Is mysterious about her Identity. Two Japanese athletes, the Terada brothera, are to offer their un usual perch act. On top of a balanced pole held by one of the performers, the other does some of the most hazardous feats Imaginable. Once again the Orpheum Travel Weekly will project interesting views In motion pictures of quaint and curious countries. Manager Johnson of the Gayety an nounces for the week starting this after noon the engagement of Lew Kelly and the new edition of the "Behman show," the superb organization which inaug urated the policy of burlesque at the Gayety five years ago. Lew Kelly has es tablished himself aa one of the most pop ular stars in musical burlesque. His crea tion of the"dope" originally conceived aa a bit, has developed into a comedy classic. His magnetic personality and bis success in impersonation have combined to make hla name a byword 'on the highway of American show life. Mr. Singer has pro vided for Mr. Kelly ideal surroundings In cast and Investiture and the "Behman allow" has always been complete In Its appointments of color, music, humor, song and ensemble. The book thla sea son la entitled "Nobody Home.-' Lon Hasrall and Ameta Pynes. favorites of previous years, are s Misted this sesson by Jean Irwin, a comedienne, charm ing In manner and beautiful In volse. Harry Van, Vincent Mack, Jim Ten Brooke, Corlnne Ford and the great Martelle. A beauty chorus and a male octet dis tinguish some new and original con certed numbers. In a scenic way, the pro duction la sumptuous, while the cos tuming is in replica of the Broadway musical show in color and variety. The human dreadnaught, Jess Wlllard, the man who brought the world's cham pionship back to the white race, will ap pear in three-round exhibition bouts with his sparring partners during the first Sflven (performances inclusive of next Wednesday's matinee. The bargain mat inee prioea extended to the ladles will be withdrawn until Thursday mstlnee owing to the tremendous expense in presenting the Jess Wlllard party. This Is Wlllard himself, In the flesh, not a moving picture-Miss BUlte Burke hss a mission In life. It Is to make people happy. And In "Jerry" she has the amplest opportunity she hss ever had to do all the things she can do most easily In the furtherance of that mission. "Jerry" is the comedy by Catherine Chlsholm Cushlng In which Miss Burke will be seen at the Brandels theater for three performances beginning" tomorrow night, with matinee Tuesday. Charles Krohman presented her in it first at the Lyceum theater. New York, last season and she scored a big hit at once. This season she has been playing It to crowded houses all over the country. The "Jerry" of the play la a maddening little minx "a girl an hour ahead of time," one of the other characters calls her-from Chicago. On a visit to her relatives In a staid Philadelphia suburb she meets and falls In love with a man twice her age, who has been engaged to her aunt for twenty years. But that makes no difference to "Jerry." Bhe wants him for her husband snd she gets him. How the play tells. "The New Henrietta," a play by Wln- chell Bmlth and Victor Mapes, founded on Bronson Howard's famous comedy, Is be ing presented by an all-star cast which Is as follows: Nicholas Van Alstyne.. William H. Crane Bertie Thomaa W. Ross Rev. Murray Hilton Maclyn Arbucklo Mrs. Cornelia Opdyke Miss Amelia Bingham Agnes Gates Miss Mabe.1 Taliaferro Mark Turner James J. Ryan Rose Turner Miss Eileen Krrol Hattle MUs 7.?ffte Tllburv Watson Flint F.dward Poland lr. George Walnwrtght. .Arthur H. H'll Mustcrave Malcolm Rralley Hutchlna J. II. Huntlev Edwsrd Bud Woodthorpe Few and far separated are the instances wherein a playwright has bu tided upon a foundation so solid that a dramatic super structure msy be placed upon It In after years without risk of endangering the strength of the original handiwork or marring Ite appeal. When Bronson How ard added "The Henrietta' ts his list of dramatic successes he had William H. Crane and Btuart Robson as a Joint In spiration In creating the characters of Nick Van Alstyne and Bertie the Lamb, respectively. During a decade and over these two famous exponents of all that AMI SEMBNTS. fUJKf ALL WEEK Here's the Sops LEW KELLY H BEHMAN SHOW .
