GEO. NrIBLO
One of the funsters with the accelerating musical revue, “Step On It” at
Omaha’s popular Gayety twice daily Thanksgiving week.
HUH THANKSGIVING MENU
Gayety Has Great Reason to cele
brate Holiday Week.
George Niblo and Helen Spencer
will be featured members of the “Step
On It” company that Hurtig & Seamon
send to the popular Gayety theatre
Saturday matinee to open a week’s
presentation of musical burlesque
that promises to be superior enter
tainment even when measured by the
best standards of the Columbia circuit
offerings. “The Isle of Wlia Wha”
will form the principal vehicle for
laughter, but there will be comedy I
novelties in scenes and stagecrart; i
brilliant vaudeville interludes and a
horus ensemble that will add great
ty to the entertainment value of the
completed program.
Coining into burlesque from the big
time vaudeville George Niblo and He
len Spencer bring new methods and
3nappy ideas to entertain. Niblo is a
■amp comedian of the type the late
Nat Wills created in vaudeville. His
methods are clean and inoffensive and
t is declared that comedy of the most
wholesome kind has made Niblo as
much a favorite in burlesque as he
unquestionably was on the vaudeville
circuit.
Helen Spencer is a fast-working,
good looking, agile and high spirited
•omedienne who made an excellent
nusical comedy reputation before she
entered vaudeville enroute to her pres
et station as a featured member of
he ‘‘Step On It” cast. Nliss Spencer
will work in special' scenes with
Niblo, will lead numbers and also af
ford her own style of entertainment
In various interludes as the show pro
tresses.
l,eah White, prima donna, comes to
burlesque from • vaudeville. She Is
known as “The California Song Bird” !
and has created favorable attention
for her fine appearance, nice ward
robe and pleasing voice. Anna O’- j
Donnell, soubrette, will sing and
dance her way into the public’s graces
just as she has been doing in other
cities with ‘‘Step On It”. Versatile
Juliette Belmont, who sings, dances
and plays skillfully on the violin, and
Kdith Lamond, a dainty little blond
who dances and sini^ wttb becoming
grace-Snd charm, are two members1
if this big company who are sure to j
find great persona favor writ hthe
fans.
Sunday's matinee and the grand
holiday matinee Thanksgiving Day
tart at 3:00.

Sunday was indeed one of the great
est days spiritually in the history of
Allen Chapel. The Spirit was much in
evidence at the eleven o’clock service.
We didn’t go back to Pentecost. But
we prayed Penteco.-t down to us. Men
and women wept for joy while they
shouted “Hosanna in the highest” by
the means of songs It made some of
us exclaim in the language of St.
Peter, “Lord, it is good for us to be
here. If Thou wiit let us make here
three tabernacles.” We are expecting
a big day again Sunday. So come
and worship with u when you are not I
going anywhere else.

By Augusta Matnge in The Negro
World.
Our Father, great and good Jehovah,
Who’s own Son to mortals came,
And whom saints adore in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy holy name.
Now we lowly kneel before Thee,
As we pray, “Thy kingdom come,”
And we humbly beg for mercy
As we say, “Thy will be done.”
And forgive us, Lord, our errors,
And transgressions of Thy laws,
.As we too forgive our brothers,
Who offend us without cause.
Lead us all from out temptation,
Lest we fall beside the way,
Bui deliver us from evil,
Save us for the perfect “Day”.
To Thy hand all power and glory,
Angels round Thy throne attend,
And forever In Thy kingdom,
We adore Thee, Lord, Amen.

PEOPLE TODAY ARE BETTER
FED THAN WERE ANCIENTS
So Declares Italian Investigator
Who Has Been Making
Study of Foods.
When all the world la complaining
of what It costs to buy a good dinner,
as compared to the days before the
war, an Italian Investigator has com*
forward with the statement that never
before have the [>eople been aa well
fed as at present.
Signor I'edraz/.oll baa analyzed th*
descriptions. In old writings, of the
hundred-course banquets of the Mid
dle ages, and the recitals of whole
cows prepared for the feastera. H*
finds undoubted exaggeration, and
aays that when such things did hap
pen so many people sat down to the
meal that each Individual portion wa*
very small. Such dinners also were
given only In >ears of plenty, but
more numerous than these were the
lean years. Then the people were
thin and pale, and at this time orig
inated the expression, “Tighten up
your belt.”
The Seventeenth century was the
golden age for food. During these
years potatoes, tc-a, chocolate and cof
fee were Introduced Into Europe.
Rome claims to lie the birthplace of
“Cafe au lalt." Ambulant Creeks used
to sell coffee from buckets In the
streets of Romo.
The Romans Immediately used thl*
for mixing with milk, and so popular
proved the drtnl that It soon spread
to the whole world. The first coffee
house to be opened In Rome was. In
fact, called “II caffp greco," and It may
still he seen In the picturesque Via
Condottl.
An Idea of how bad was the food
In Middle ages may be had from tb*
writings of Tasxnal, In whose ver*e
various menus are described. When
the food was not of poor quality In
Itself, the predominant note In Its
preparation was not with regard to
taste, but to display. Spices also wers
very much In evidence, and the dishes
often were so highly seasoned as to
be neither wholesome nor agreeable.
8lgnor Pedrazzoli prepared • dish ac
cording to an old recipe, hnt the r*
ault was Impossible. No one coaid
eat It, and It was medically unwhole
some.

Enough can not be said of Madam

Grower. I was very much discouraged
with the many hair oils until better
than one year ago I began Madam
Lawson’s treatment which has proven
a success, for my hair was then three
inches long and breaking harsh and
falling with an itching scalp. But
now I have an abundant growth of
