PATTY PLAYS FAR BELOW FORM
Central High. was forced to bow to the
St. JosepTi High in the flirt defeat admin
istered to the locals on the borne floor
this season by the reore of 28 to IS.
Omaha outplayed the Missouri team at
every angle when !t came to taking the
ball down the floor, but there the good
work ended. Coach Mullgan's hopefuls
bombarded the basbets from the rail of
time to the firing of the gun at the end
of the second half, but it was of little
use. The ball would notp ass through
the magic circle.
On the other hand St. Joseph wasted
very few shots and established a ieaa
by the end of the first half that the
locals were unable to overcome.
Both Omaha guards. Grove and Logan,
played brilliant games and each suc
ceeded in locating the basket, Logan gar
nering two and Grove one. Logan proved
the live wire on the team( covering the
floor In great fashion. A large amount
of credit must be given to Captain Payn
ter and Maxwell. Paynter put up the
scrappiest game ie has plsyed this year,
and the same can be said of Maxwell.
Patty continued to shoot in hard-lack
form and failed to ring up his usual
quota of baskets and missed a large num
ber of free throwrs.

"classy" burlesque. "The "Strolling
Players," deliver the goods, not bnly
as regards wardrobe and scenery, but
slso In the way of singing, dancing, a
continuous and hilarious joke-feat and
pleasing features of the different sort.
A chorus that la full of dash and vim,
and a large roster of clever principals,
mskes the show a winner from start to
finish. Billy Mosscy heads the comed
ians with a roly-poly tins of laughable
capers. Harry Crawford Is an elongated
comic, who contributes much to the fun.
Vat and Ernie Stanton are a mighty
popular team In their "daffydll" stunts,
freak dances and songs, which are
strongly applauded. A comedy male
quartet also Intersperses bits of amuse
ment. Among the wonir'n Jeanelte
Mohr makes a big hit with a scream
characterisation, thai of a "snow owl"
In the travesty on prison life. Ina Hay
ward leads a number of popular
choruses. She and her sister Maude Hay
ward, win approval in a skillfully dona
specialty. George Grainger In an olio act
sings a number of popular songs In a
fetching way. The chorus Is a typical
Spiegel one, and several of the girls, espe
cially Rose AllsrJ, the left end "puny,"
attract particular attention with their
good looks and winning ways.

KREISLER COMING
HERE THIS MONTH
Great Violinist Fixes Tuesday,
March 28. for His Recital
at Auditorium,
HIS ACTIONS PLEASE PUBLIC
Word hag been received from Frits
Krelaler's management to tha effect
that the serious Illness In Mr. Krels
ler'a family which necessitated th
postponement of his long anticipated
and much heralded concert in Feb
ruary had now taken such a turn as
to permit Mr. Krelsler to again re
sume his tour and that he will posi
tively appear In Omaha Tuesday eve
ning, March 28.
Sympathy (or tne Nsa,
Much sympathy waa expressed for Mr..
Krelsler and his family, and great admir
ation waa elicited for Krelsler, the man
whose determination to be with his in
valid wife during her days or anxiety
waa sufficient reason to postpone his en
tire tour. The general publlo realises
but little of the enormous expense at
tached to postponing a tour which is being
borne entirely by Mr. Krelsler himself.
In each city the printing bill alone runs
well Into the hundreds column, and the
advertising and promotion expense must
all be duplicated. In the present Instance
the personal profit for the entire season
will be practically wiped out, but without
complaint or dispute Mr. Krelsler assumed
Ihe expense rather than leave his wife at
the critical moment.
Mr. Krelsler Is not only tha greatest
living artist on his chosen Instrument,
but is a man, a soldier, a husband and
a scholar, combining the highest qualities
of manhood without any of those eccen
tricities so frequently found In great art
ists. His simplicity of manner and the
spirit of good fellowship with which he
meets his audience, put his hearers at
once In a frame of mind ready to receive
his wonderful music, (
lirelsler'a Programs Models.
Mr. Krelsler's programs are never dry
and uninteresting; never filled with the
merely technical, enjoyable only to tbe
Studied violinist. They are gathered front
the entire musical literature searched out
with the Idea of pleasing tha ear as well
as tbe mind and while many tlmea tha
superlstlve of technical obstacles are met
they are conquered with such apparent
ease that the audience Ig never on edge
as to the ability of .the artist to make
tha beautiful subservient to tha technical.
The management anticipatea tha great
est audience ever assembled for a musical
vent in Omaha. and-It would seem im
portunate that those who have not al
ready secured sVats should do so at one.
