AT THE
"Over the Top" at the Boyd.
Here is a Shubert "girl show" in
which the girls are not the principal
attraction. This sounds somewhat
paradoxical, when one recalls the
emphasis laid on the girl end of any
Shubert "revue," no matter how pre
tentious or simple. In this the girls
have not been neglected, not. by a
jugful; they are there in multitudi
nous variety, but the bisr features of
the show come elsewhere than in the
chorus. Justine Johnstone is all the
advance man has claimed for her, and
that is some compliment, for Iwhat
the advertisments did not say about
her had better be left unsaid- She is
beautiful, she is sprightly, and within
her natural limits she is quite an
entertainer. The Oakland sisters, Ma
Belle and Mary Eaton, Betty Tierce,
Rolanda and her dancers, Fred and
Adelaide Astaire, Aleen Bronson and
Joe Laurie, Zd Wynn, Ted Lauraine,
and Allen Craig are some of the
others in the company, ind all seen
eager to do a full stint at the task of
giving the customers satisfaction.
And with the help of one another and
the really worth while chorus, they
succeed.
Ed Wynn is droll: he' admits it.
He introduces his old-time trick hat
in one of his scenes, where it fits
properly, but he does a lot of other
stuff in his own way and easily
collects the 125 laughs he says he is
under contract to produce at each
performance. Bronson and Laurie,
the "pint size" pair, have some good
stuff in a new dress, and certainly
make the time they are on the Stage
pass quickly. The Astarires have
really arrived as dancers, and gave
their old Omaha friends and a lot of
new ones a treat in the way of rapid
agile movements, gracefully done.
They have a "whirlwind" movement
that deserves the name, Ma-Belle
and Eatori, well known and equally
well liked, still deserve the popularity
they have achieved by their graceful
dancing. Rolanda and her "neo
classic" crowd are conservative as to
costume and spendthrifts as to
musclar exertion. Their contribution
to the evening's proceedings seemed
to be what the onlookers desired, for
they were enthusiastically applauded.
One could scarcely expect to see more
of them... Allen Craig has a sweet
lyric tenor voice, and uses it in a
manner that gained for him 'much
admiration- Ted Lorraine and Betty
Pierce- do not have much to do, but
it is done very well, while the Oak
lands contribute one graceful dance
and assist in a number of other move
ments, and are worth while wher
ever PUt. ,s ,, -.. . ... ., '
Elaborate scenery, pretty costumes.
and goodlooking girls fill in whatever
interstices the principals leave. It
really is the biggest and best show
the Shuberts have sent here in a long
time.
Vaudeville at the Orpheum.
Eccentricity vice with variety in
the vaudeville program offered this
week at the Orpheum. The three
Weber girls count 'em Grace,
Carrie' and Laura, a trio of nimble,
vivacious, dashing acrobats and tum
blers'," do some clever work. There's
a snap to their every movement. Al
lan bhaw is among the few slight of
hand performers who can really enter
tain. His coin tricks are accompanied
by a running fire of jnonologue.
"Look," he warns the audience, and
then pours a hat full of coins from
an apparently empty palm. Will
Oakland, who possesses a voice that
won applause bv rounds, assisted bv
John Carmody, presents a skit en
titled "Danny O'Gill, U. S. A."
Foster Ball, .in a character study,
"Since the Days of '61," is a scream.
One glimpse of the civil war veteran
as he reclines on a park bench starts
applause. He is on his way from a
Grand Army of the Republic reunion,
and for a palsied(told soldier, unsteady
on his pins, this one has been "going
some." There's a bit of blood and
thunder to the comedy-drama,
"Camouflage," as presented by a
company of seven W. H. McDougal,
Grace Monroe, Margaret Vinton,
Gerald Rogers, Ben Harrison, Edward
Porter and Edward Nainby, The scene
shows a modern counterfeiter's work
ship in full operation, followed by the
raid or government men. The peri
scope and some trick scenery makes
the drama quite realistic, The Stan

"stunts" are intermingled in the
vaudeville offering at the Empress
theater for the first half of the week.
Hill, Tivoli girls and Hall, a "mixed"
quartet, head the bill. Their act is
a combination of dancing, cycling
and the impersonation, in a laughable
manner, of a dog. The latter is not
the least attractive number in their
offering. Something new to vaude
ville is presented by Brady and Ma-
honey m Ihe Cruise of the Dough

AMERICAN LABOR
MEN UNDER FIRE
ON TRIPTO FRONT
American Boys in Excellent
Spirits and Anxious to Do
More Fighting, Says
Seattle Leade. .
London, May 12. The American
labor representatives, who have re
turned to London after a visit to
France, were under fire several times
on their trip to the front, but none
was hit.
'William Short, president of the
Seattle Federation of Labor, said to
day: "Tlfe American boys seem to be in
excellent spirits and anxious to do a
lot more fighting than they have been
privileged to do thus far.
. "Everything we have seen in France
and Great Britain has emphasized the
conviction we had when we came
here, that America must get into this
with both hands and both feet. She
must use all her resources and send
over the greatest number of men pos
sible. We know Germany can be
whipped, but the sooner America
sends all the resources the sooner the
job will be finished. It is not going
to be finished until that is done, and
every day lost, every man withheld, is
merely causing unnecessary sacrifices.
'That is the message we are going
to take back to our people. We know
Great Britain and France have done
more than their share. They have
done all they can do and much more
than they ought to have had to do
without the aid of the whole civilized
world. This has been a fight for
civilization from the beginning, and
the greatest mistake of the whole sit
uation has been the failure of America
and other countries to recognize this."
Discusses Irish Situation.
George Nicoll Barnes, labor com
missioner, presided this afternoon at
a great meeting in Kensington theater
under the auspices of the national war
aims committee, held to welcome
Martin F. Ryan, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, and
Miss Agnes Nestor, president of the
Women's Trade Union league of Chi
cago, who are members of the Ameri
can labor mission.
Mr, Barnes said that the letter of
General Frederick B. Maurice to the
press, charging the government with
concealing the real facts of the mili
tary situation, was an incident which
soon would be forgotten. There was
a far more grave question in the sit
uation in Ireland.
"It might seem that while we are
fighting for small nationalities and
leaving Ireland alone, we are rather
inconsistent," Mr. Barnes continued.
"Things, however, are not so sim
ple as they look when seen from a
distance. Ireland has two units and
they are as widely separated in ideals
as it is possible for two people to be,
and the difficult problem is to harmon
ize oublic feeline in Ireland and at
the 6ame time uphold unity in the
United Kingdom.
. "Labor is in complete sympathy
with Irish national sentiment," the
speaker asserted, "but the problem is
the most difficult one that could face
any government."

FOR WHEAT OUGHT
TO SELL FOR LESS
Hoover Advises Local Food Ad
ministrators to Investigate
Prices Which Seem
. High.
Based on the present price of con.
barley and oats, substitutes made
from these grains should sell at rea
sonably lower prices than wheat flour,
and cornmeal should be selling at the
mill door at not over 25 per cent less
than wheat flour. Oatmeal should
be selling at even less proportion.
These advices came yesterday to
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator for Nebraska, from rte--'
bert Hoover, United States food ad
ministrator. -
Mr. Hoover requests the Nebraska
official to investigate any prices which
seem out of proportion and to report
them to Washington, if necessary, for
summary action. , Hopver advices
are: 1 ' '
"At present prices of corn, barjey
and oats these millers are or should
be offering meals and flour from
these grains at prices considerably;
below wheat flour, in fact cornmeal
should be selling from the mill door
at not over 25 per' cent less than
wheat flour and oatmeal even less
ration.
Prices Too High. '
"White corn flour or barley flour
should be selling at not more than
10 to 15 per cent below wheat flour.
There is, therefore, absolutely no
justification for' present levels in
these substitutions. Retailers should
not take more than 16 to 20 per cent
on the sale price for handling thest
products.
'The wholesale maximum margins
have been fixed as per our bulletin
of April 6 at not over 10 per cent in
bulk; therefore with these criteria to
guide you we would be glad to have
jvru iv'ivn up aiijr if iv.ca llfdUC l
higher levels. . ,
"Where dealers still have stocka
bought at higher levels than thest
prices every step in the chain of re
tailer, wholesaler and miller should
be prepared to justify their prices at
reasonable and any failure to so justi
fy should be recommended to us for
summary action. The time has now
come when the readjustment to the
price) of these grains should have
taken place. We are requiring the prin
cipal corn millers to report to th
office by telegraph, weekly, the prices
at which they purchase corn and the
prices at which they are quoting
products and we are directing them
to make duplicate reports to you,"
Agents to Get Busy.
"But without waiting for these re
ports you can take the above ap
proximate levels as being indicative
and instruct your county and city
agents to make a drive on the reduc
tion of prices to proper levels as the
maintenance by millers and dealers of
the price levels which were due to
shortage in railway transport , last
winter has now become ill many "easel,
simple extortion. Where dealers have
paid more than present prices they
run risks of spoilage In endeavorinff
to hold material for prices. at old
levels and the first loss of reduci'iisr
prices is the smaller loss."
"Tire matter of prices applies not
only to the substitutes themselves,
but to products in which they are
used,", says Mr. Wattles.
"Mr. Hoover has stated that even,
in the price of bread, the present price
of substitutes does not justify a rise
in the price of bread. Bakers in some,
states have claimed that they are en
titled to a higher price for bread and
his statement came in response to
that claim."
