NE of the most popular legends
In English history Is that of
the outlaw, "Robin Hood,"
the story of which forms the
basis for the plot of the opera
"Kohln Hood." which the Da
Koven Opera company will present at t"is
Brandeta theater Tuesday and Wednes
day, December 28 and 29, with matinee
Wednesday.
The story of 'the opera, as written by
Harry P. Smith, deala with young Robert
of Huntington on the day that he at
tains his majority, when he comes to
claim hla title and estates from the lord
high sheriff of Nottingham, who haa been
appointed his guardian by Richard, the
Lion Hearted, tben at the Crusades. lie
haa won the prise at 81. Bartholomew's
fair as the best archer and has attracted
the attention of the outlaws who Infest
Sherwood. The wily sheriff hopes to
pass his dupe, Ouy of Olsboume, off for
the real earl of Huntington. Knowing
that Ouy will divide the estates with
him. he also wants to marry Mm to Lady
"Marian Fltswalter. his wealthy ward.
who haa been commanded by the king to
marry Robert, though she has never seen
htm. fihs disguises herself as a page to
have a look at her 'future, but Robert
detects the disguise and they fall
mutually In love with each other. When
ha claims his estates, he is repudiated
by the sheriff, the king then being at the
Crusades, and la Invited to Join the out
laws' band, which ha does.
Maid Marian la kept under lock and
key by the sheriff until she agrees to
marry Guy. Meanwhile, the sheriff, Ouy
and some of his man, start for the forest
to capture Robin Hood, which they suc
ceed In doing, as he Is betrayed Into thelp
hands by Alan-a-Dale, a young tlade,
who is Jealous of Robin's playful atten
tions to his sweetheart. He Is brought
into Nottingham and confined In prison,
but Will Scarlet, his trusty friend and
the armorer who has been engaged to
forge his chains, makes them so slight
that Robin escapee, previously having
changed places with Friar Turk. Ha fills
the rhapcl where Marian la to be married
to Uuy with his foresters and, at the
time fjr the wedding, recaptures hts
bride. A herald from the king. Just re
turned from the wars, brings full pardon
to him and his band; and disgrace to the
wily sheriff and Ms dupe.
Mr. Smith baa thereby given plausible
reaaun for Robin becoming aa outlaw,
bit in other respects sticks very Closely
to tlie legend. The part of Sherwood
Forest sill standing contains many
landmark of the olden day. There Is a
giant tree there called the Major Oak,
within whose hollow trunk aa many a
nlxteen persons may be aqueesed and
reven have breakfasted there. A long
and beautiful drive leada to another
famoa oak known aa Tho Shambles,
where tradition has It that Robla was
vont to hnn? the deer ha killed to dry
end perhaps he did.

Patrons of th popular Oayety theater
will welcome the announcement that an
entirely new show la In the field of
mualcal burlesque and will be seen In
Jean Bedlnl's "Puss Puss,' which is now
appearing at that theater. Thia play
house has presented many good shows
that have been new In this popular field
of amusement, but here is said to be
th beat of all. It I considered that the
first requirement of a successful bur
lesque attraction Is Its chorus, and In
this "Pus Puss" excels, Jean having se
lected from over 800 applicants, the
twenty-five that filled the requirement
necessary for a choru girl to have,
namely, beauty of face, and above all. a
voloe. Next to consider I the versatility
of the principal, who. of course, aupply
th comedy. Th coatumlng of this or
ganisation Is wonderful; the scenic ves
ture Is aa good. If not better, than tb
majority of th so-called 22 girl shows.
So everything taken Into consideration.
"Pus Puss " should give satlofactlon and
play one of th moat euccessful engage
ments at the Oayety theater thia seaaon.
Next Thuraday Just after 1 (noon). Mir.
Beldlnl will endeavor to Impale a fork

constitute our program this week, vrhich is one of the
strongest we have offered since the STRAND has been
opened.
Sunday and Monday comes Robert Mantell, the eminent
American actor, supported by Genevieve Hamper, In a modern
society problem play, "THE UNFAITHFUL WIFE." While Miss
Hamper has only been seen in one picture so far, she has estab
lished herself In the first ranks of motion picture actresses and
Ler portrayal of the unfaithful wife in this production is a work
of art. Mr. Mantell has a role that fits him wonderfully and the
entire picture has been staxed on the grounds of the beautiful
summer home President Wilson has selected for his honeymoon.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we present the Famous
Players Film Company's biggest and most widely heralded spec
tacle. "THE ETERNAL CITY," featuring Pauline Frederick.
There 'are eight parts to this wonderful production which was
made in the identical spots in Rome and London where Hall C&lne
laid his brilliant novel, and this production ran for months at
the Astor Theater, New York, at a dollar admission price. While
this Is one of the most expensive pictures ever shown in Omaha,,
no change in admission price will be made, and we wish each and
every picture fan in Omaha could witness this most wonderful
of photodramatic spectacles, where for the first time in motion
pictures the Vatican Gardens, the Coliseum, St. Peter's, the Castle
of St. Angelo's and many other historic and Impressive spots In
the Imperial City have been used as stage settings. Dramatically,
artistically and educationally we present "THE ETERNAL
CITY" for your approval and consideration as one of the best pic
ture bets of the season.
Friday and Saturday comes debonnoire, graceful Wm. FAVER
SHAM in a thrilling mystery story, "ONE MILLION DOLLARS."
No expense has been spared to make this a truly wonderful of
fering, and we know you will like this picture from start to fin
ish 'tis so different, yet so engrossing and gripping. This is our
Christmas offering and we know you will not be disappointed.
In conclusion, we wish you a Merry, Merry Christmas, a Most
Happy New Year and assure you we appreciate more than we can
express your patronage which has enabled us to make the
STRAND a success, and not a failure as so many "wise" ones
predicted. We truly have much to be thankful for and we want
you to know it.
