Given in a Classy '
Way at Gayety
- Pretty Gertrude Hayes, with her
sparkling wit, pleasing personality and
charming figure carries off the lion's
share of honors in "Follies of the Day,"
Barney Gerard's musical extravaganza,
which opened Its week engagement last
night at the Gayety.
The lines of the show are practically
the same as last year, but Miss Hayes
has managed to brighten It up even more,
and a record breaking crowd of first
nlghters were not stingy with their ap
preciation. The "Follies" present two burlettas,
one "Hot Dog" and the other "What
Does the Publlo Want" , '
In' each Mr. Gerard Yias daringly re
moved himself from the threadbare,
slap-stick variety of shows that lose
patrons of burlesque every day. "Hot
Dog" Is a laughing farce about a vendor
of succulent Wienerwursts, and "What
Does the Public Want" Is a skit that
illustrates an argument between Oscar
Hamraersteln, David Belasco, Al Reeves
and George Cohan. Each character en
deavors to produce his own Interpreta
tion of the public theatrical desire, and
between the four the effect is most pleas
in. George Murphy has the part In the
show made famous by Sam Sldman, and
he gives a creditable performance. Ann
Propp la a daring little creature who
wins friends easliy, and she received
many encores. Others to score were Ches
ter Nelson, Elsie May, Dorothy BeVber,
Edith Malvore. Jack Smith. John Wil
liams and Mildred Laurie.
The chorus girls are well chosen three
of them especially.
Gerard's show calls for an enormous
amount of expensively beautiful scenery
and some novelties in brilliant costumes.
It is not exaggeration to say that it is
one of the very best shows on the
Columbia circuit
Kansas Harvest
Hand Loses Roll
And Ring for Girl
As has oft been remarked heretofore,
nd as G. M. Moore of Lawrence, Kan.,
learned to his sorrow last night, the
course of true love Is a rocky road in
deed. Moore worked all summer in the
harvest fields of South Dakota and when
he came into Omaha yesterday the first
thing he did waa to buy a diamond en
gagement ring for the girl down in Kan
sas whom he some day hopes to wed.
The second thing he did is what forced
the above conclusion upon him. It waa
to attempt entry Into the ranks of the
aviators.
- He entered a lower Douglas street sa
loon and peeled a $5 bill off his roll and
announced that he wanted everybody to
soar with him. "Take this money, bar-
creature. I want to bl-plane beer for
the bunch." He laughed loudly at his
wit, and the bar-flies laughed with him
A few . moments they were laughing at
him, because one of their number had
"touched" Moore for the ring nd for the
roll, which contained about $48.
Detectives Rich and Psanowakl after
wards arrested Frank Gran and R. Mes
ser in connection with the affair. Doth
Mien denied that they took the stuff.
CREIGHTON ENROLLMENT .

the Bachelor of Science In medicine de
cree. Ths University Gleo club will begin
practice today. Father Wise will again
to In charge and Prof. Henry Bock will
be the director. Many of the old mem
bers are back and there la no danger
of lack of material.
The new gymnasium is progressing
steadily and will begin to rise above the
ground before long. The heavy cement
foundation have been set, and tho pool
is nearly excavated.
HAPPENINGS IN
THE MAGIC CITY
Omaha Library Board May Start
Museum on South Side to
House Relics.
TWO AUTO THIEVES PURSUED
The Omaha Library board, acting under ;
suggestion of former President Gene
Mayfleld of the now defunct South I
Omaha Library board, and several other
prominent local residents. Is about to
provide for a small museum at the local
library building at Twenty-third and M
streets. For several years, local citizens
have been working for sm-h a depart
ment, but, for obvious reasons, have
failed.
The abundance of relics, heirlooms of
local families that will soon become Im
mensely valuable, along with the old
skeletons and Indian fighting weapons
dug up In the last few years by Robert
Gilder and others In the region near
Child's Point and the creek below the
Magic City, have furnished considerable
argument In themselves to originate a
local museum.
Since the death of Balthaa tetter,
owner of the Jctter Brewing company,
whose hobby It was to gather and ac
cumulate valuable relics, the Idea of such
a department at the local library has
been Increasing. An attempt was made
several years ago by Mr. Mayfleld to
originate the department under the South
Omaha Library board,, but for financial
reasons the start proved a failure,
"I have every reason to believe that
the venture is a sure thing 'this time,"
Mayfield said yesterday. "The Omaha
Library board appointed a committee
some weeks ago to investigate the mat
ter and reported favorably. I understand.
Action will probably be taken during the
coming week by the board authorizing
the expenditure of enough money to
carry the thing through."
"We have evary reason to predict suc
cess In the plan. The offer of Bruce
McCulloch to donate free his collection
of Philippine relics as well as the Balthas
Jetter collection would alone warrant
a success In the venture. Hundreds of
other contributions would follow these
as soon as the museum has become an
actuality."
The most striking relic unearthed by
Mr. Gilder several years ago In the re
gion about Child's Point, where Indian
tribes were supposed to have gathered
for conference in prehistoric years, Is
an entire skeleton of a man, an Indian
presumably. This is now resting, un
pointed. In the local library.
Bold Theft tn Office.
A bold theft, displaying considerable
cleverness on the part of the thief, was
executed last Friday night, when the busi
ness place of J. L. Duff, real estate and
fire Insurance man with offices at 2312
L streets. Just outside the center of the
downtown district, was broken Into and
several checks on different firms and
South Side people taken out of the safe.
On September R, a Sunday evening, the
home of Mr. Duff was broken into and
the keys to the office and the safe were
taken. Last Friday night the same
thieves, evldentally, secured access to
the safe by means of the keys. They
were able to unlock inner doors of both
the office and the safe. Entrance was
made by breaking Into the back window.
Police are keeping; a close1 lookouts for
the thieves. Several thefts of the same
bold character have taken place In the
last two weeks.
, Miss San Talks.
Under the tutorship of Miss Saxe of the
"Billy" Sunday party, some 100 girls,
mostly students of the South Side High
school, are meeting weekly at the First

Auto Thieves Pursued.
At the sight of Motorcycle Officer Bert
Hiatt rounding tho corner of Railroad
avenue and W street, coming directly
their way, two young auto thieves, Ed
Pabln and Louis Chalbrad. South Side,
drove the stolen car in which they were
riding directly Into the Union Pacific rail
road yards on the west side of the avenue,
coming to a halting atop after they had
smashed Into the fence.
Jumping from the machine, they at
tempted to make their escape from the
speed cop by running swiftly down the
railroad tracks towards the county line a
few blocks below. Hlatt pulled his gun
after vainly calling upon thern to stop,
and was about to fire when Leo Chandler,
Twenty-fourth and U streets, a friend,
rounded the next street corner and at a
signal from Hlatt stopped Pabln with a
quick smashing blow. Chalbrad escaped
In the scuffle. Arrest followed, but it was
several minutes before he recovered from
the shock of the blow Chandler had dealt
him.
The car belonged to Charles Bancroft
and had been stolen.

CHILDHOOD TALES
THEME OF PARADE I
Gorgeous Iloats Constructed for Ak
Sar-Ben Electrical Parade Have
This Central Idea.
FESTIVAL TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK (
j
Instead of putting on a perform-
nee of the "Isle of rrp" at tho Pen
Monday night, Ak-Sar-Den knights
will bo busy dolnn committee work,
perfecting the big fall festival, which
will begin September 29. just one
week from Wednesday.
From all Indications, it will bo the
best assembly of festivities ever de
vised by the loyal henchmen of the
king. Samson, that august lord
high chamberlain, who in private life
answers to the name of "Pad"
Weaver, announces that he already
has been advised that thousands of
Qulvora'a subjects throughout the
realm are preparing to attend the
gala events, and that the weather
man has smiled upon the enterprise.
"After harvesting this fall's bumper
crops," Samson declares, "the whole
countryside tributary to this city will
make the Ak-Sar-Hen festivities their
mecca."
Preparations for the merry carnival pre
ceding the coronation of tho new king
and queen are well tn advance of schedule.
Those few knights who have peered be
yond the curtains whisper the glad tid
ings that never before have such gorge
ous and magnificent floats been con
structed for the parades.
"Talea of Childhood" will be the theme
of the beautiful electric parade, which I
will grace the city's brilliantly lighted
streets, October 6. Many of the floats
are already finished, Artificer Qua Knnxe
says. 1
Work is being pushed on the street1
lighting, snd the main entrance arch for
the carnival grounds Is already well
along toward completion. It stands at
Fifteenth and Howard afreets, south ot
which the King's Hlghwsy will be
situated.
A second main entrance will be placed
at Sixteenth and Jones streets, In order
to accommodate many from the south
side. The colonnade of bright lighting
posts from Fifteenth and Douglas streets,
soutn to the main entrance of the carni
val grounds. Is also ncailng completion
and will make Fifteenth street a veritable
"Great White Way." There will be
many more lights and street decorations
than In previous years. Contract Agent
Zlmman of the light company states.
Every king and queen of Ak-Sar-Brn
during the last twenty-one" seasons wil.
participate In the wonderful auto floral
parade, the special daylight feature of
the festival. The main Den will bo
given over entirely to the decoration of
ths autos entered In the beautiful page
ant, which will occur the afternoon of
October 6.
Tickets snd Invitations to the corona
tion bsll, Friday evening, October 8, will
probably be delivered by messenger, Tues
day of this week, Samson says. They
are almost ready for distribution, and
work on the coronation stage and other
preparations at the Pen are also well
along. Kdlcta to the ladles of the court,
concerning the posts of honors they are
to fill, will be sent out after the Invita
tions are delivered.
Thirty-seven carloads of show attrae-
tlonst-elghteen or twenty good shows, ln
stesd of the usual ten or twelve will
comprise the Highway features at this
year's carnival, "Dad" Weaver saya He
has booked the C. A. Wortham Combined
