STAXCHFIELD. who represented Ilajry Kendall Thaw In the fight that won his freedom, has brought on ' himself a storm of indignation from the actors of the coun try oy reason of a remark he Is quoted by tne New York Tribune as having made during the course of the Thaw hearing. Mr. Stanchfleld Is quoted having said: "Any sane man would ob- IJet to bis wife being on the stage." Letters sent him by the Actors' Equity association, asking for a disavowal of the remark have not been replied to, so it is accepted by the actors that he did use the offensive words, and therefore their 'protest That any sane man would use the words so ascribed to Mr. Stanchfleld I seems beyond comprehension. Making full allowance for the xeal of an attorney, pleading the case of his client to the utmost of his power, one can not find tin that situation warrant for an unsup ported slander on the women of the theater, nor Is it easy to understand why the . remark has. not been . withdrawn. .That some men and some women con nected with the theater have done some 'things very wrong is admitted; but, what profession or c ailing is free from similar aocusatlons. So far as the facts In the case are concerned, the slander is as 'much justified against any group of so ciety In which men and women co-operate as It la against the men and women of the stage. The protest of the Actors' ' Equity association is Justified from every standpoint, but the actors may feel cer tain that the opinion voiced by Mr. Stanchfleld is shared by very few of his fellow citlsens. The American actor has established his profession on too high a ' plane to be severely injured by a slur of that nature, even if it be publicly ut-tert. Alia Naxlmova is coming to the Orph- ieum for the week beginning next Sunday In "War Brides," a most dramatic and effective one-act Play, dealing- with woman's part In the war. It created a 'senaation in the east last spring, and while It was promised for presentation In Omaha, the demand in the larger cities was such that it did not get west. The Orpheum management baa the cele brated Russian actress and her own com- :pany coming here. Nazimova plays the character of a simple peasant girl, a ! brido whose heart was torn open when her husband was called away to war, And the very eoul of Nazimova seems to I In the Interpretation. "War Brides" was written by Marlon Craig Wentworth and was printed in the Century Maga zine. Shortly afterwards Nazimova pre- senud the playlet in vaudeville at the Palace theater. New York. It was a premiere not likely to be forgotten by any of those present. The applause which awarded Nazlmova's efforts lrew com parisons with the greeting of Bernhardt on the same stage. For a month, Nazi mova remained at the same theater, but the flrnt matinee decided that vaudeville would make enormous Inducements to retain her. The tremendous appeal of War Brides" led to the organization of a second company, but, of course, Nasi, moza could not be duplicated. The Orphei m circuit has been successful, how. ever, in bringing Nazimova to the west, while the second company Is playing- the east. The opening event at Boyd's theater will be the presentation of the New York Winter Garden musical extravaganza, "Dancing Around," which will ba shown at that house on Friday and (Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon. Octo ber 1 and I. Al Jolson heads the huge organisation, and will be seen In his original creation of "Gus,'' a black-faced individual, whose duty It Is to sing songs ranging from coon-croons, to sentimental ballads, and to make tile listeners for get that there is such a thing as a plot In "Dancing Around." The story has to do with the mad flirtations of an offi cer of hussars with an unknown woman with whom he has fallen in love over the telephone. There is a compact to meet at a masked ball, and he is to know her by means of a beauty spot upon her lily white shoulder. Inasmuch as every lady present is similarly adorned, there are numerous complications before the true lovers meet, in Jolson's support will be found such well known entertainers sut Frank Carter, Kitty Doner, Harry Clarke, Zella Call. Wanda Uyon, Fred Ijeslle, Ted Doner, Queenle Q'ueenan, Frank Holmes, Raa Bowdin, Mae Pealy and dozens of Broadway's stunning show girla A feature of "Dancing Around" is the derated, Illuminated runway, which extends from the footlights to the rear of the Boyd theater auditorium, upon hlcb the pretty girls parade and fie Boyd Week Starling Sunday.

Ah the Empress Eva Ifozart indulge in piquant frolica It Is from this point of vantage that Jolson will be heard in him various song hits. Robert Edeson In "a big production en titled "Alortmaln" is seen at the Btrand today and tomorrow, toeether with the ! late.it Puthe weekly, and a corking good j comedy. Mr. Kdeson Is one of America's i foremost actors and in the title role of Mortmain presents one of the most won- derful characterizations of his brilliant career. An especially attractive musical pro gram will be offered by Carl Lamp and h's Strand Theater orchestra, also by Miss L'sher at the piano. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday comes Theda j liara In "Two Orphans," and Friday and Saturday Wm. Parnum in "The Nigger." The demand for moving pictures that depict historical secenes. educational and instructive features keeps the. exhibitors j on the alert to secure such pictures. Mat-, ager Burgess of the Boyd has secured Captain H. J. Lewis, San Francisco's pioneer Chinatown guide, where for the last twenty-three years he has conducted tourist parlies from all parts of the world through this effervescent com munity, describing their mode of living, customs and the progress made by these people in the last few years, who has gathered together 6,Ktt feet of moving j Inures all authentic scenes from, this quarter, and with the descriptive lecture which he gives affords an opportunity to the public to take a trip through Chinatown with the captain at the Boyd, starting today, running continuously from 1 o'clock to 6 and T to 11 p. m.

Anyone connected with a "showshop" is naturally the most pessimistic cuss in the world, because he has seen fellow after fellow come in and try to open this or some other theatre on a "shoe-string" and leave town in the middle of night owing everybody for forty miles around. Honestly, we couldn't put in a long distance call, send a telegram, much less buy five cents worth of any thing when we first hit Omaha without giving a line of references a mile long- but thank goodness today the world looks very, very bright to us (as does also the front of our theatre) because the good people of Omaha have literally eaten up our style of entertain ment. When we first started remodeling, folks asked us if we were not going to run vaudeville, and we said 'No" there's only one Orpheum circuit in the world you have a house here, and what's more there's really only one good popular priced vandevilje circuit in the west and that is booking the Empress with mighty clever shows, so what ghost of a show would we have along vaudeville lir.es, but with all due respect to each and every picture show in Omaha, and there are some mighty good ones, too, we saw an opening for a house of the caJiber of the STRAND we backed our judg ment with our money, and you are now backing us, so as "Bill" Shakespeare says:' "All's well that ends welL" Any way, back to our program for this week we change every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. Today and tomorrow we have ROBERT EDESON you know blrn better than we do, so what's the use of telling you about him In a thrilling Mystery play Mortmain. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Theda Hara, the orLglnal vampire woman you know the kind every one hates In a new role a sweet, unsophisticated girl in "Two Orphans." while Friday and Saturday your old friend Wm. Farnum offers "The Nigger" for your approval. YeB, we ntlll have Carl Lamp and his STRAND Theater Or cheHtra, and the little ludy who plays the organ so nicely MJm Usher and believe us it took some load off our mind when we secured such a "find" in the way of an organUt.
