Bert Bertrand, who is featured in Hebrew comedy, Harry S. I^Van, his first assistant, and Nate Busby, a black-face funster of droll manners, will carry the laugh impelling incidents while a bevy of attractive beauties, headed by Ger trude Ralston, Betty Burroughs and Viola Spaeth, will contribute the ne cessary elements of vivacity that makes burlesque favorite entertain ment with the whole family. Bert Bertrand wrote the book and Max Ferhmann supplied new music for "Wine, Woman and Song.” Ber trand’s style of Hebrew comedy has gained for him increasing popularity with the burlesque ‘‘fans’’ for the rea son that his methods are original and his “Jew” a unique creation in stage business. Harry S. LeVan presents an eccentric style of comedy, featur ing a routine of dancing steps that are said to be decidedly out of the ordinary. Nate Busby, Jimmie Wai ters and Otto Johnson are other men of versatile ways in entertaining. But, after all, burlesque would be less attractive if mere man was in the ascendancy throughout the show, for beauty of female face and figure lends a charm that even good, hearty, clean comedy cannot entirely supplant. So it is that Gertrude Ralston, Betty Burroughs and Mliss Spaeth, while they are attractive and talented prin cipals, will be backed by a chorus of 20 singing and dancing girls to em bellish the musical numbers. Costuming of unique design, fabric of costly sheen, and style that will supply eye-filling pictures for spec tators is depended upon to especially please the women patrons who now throng the daily matinees. Scenery in glittering profusion, stage pictures of pleasing brilliancy and arrays of sightly scenes will make “Wine, Wo man and Song,” according to advance promise, measure up with the most elaborate productions of the season. Crowded into two acts and eleven scenes will be twenty-one musical numbers and an appealing array of vaudeville specialties to vary the en tertainment and fill the measure of snappy amusement to the brim. Ladies bargain matinee at 2:15 on week days. The Sunday matinee and the grand holiday matinee Thursday (Thanksgiving Bay) will start at 3:00.

TO THE LOVERS OE MUSIC Don’t fail to hear the wonderful ser mon on "Music” at Grove M. E. church, Twentysecond' and Seward streets, Sunday, November 26th, 3 p. m.—Adv. - - ' 1 I THE PASSING AWAY OF MRS. ELIZABETH CLABK By 0. J. Bnrckhardt A star of unusual brilliancy and great Christian magnitude and influ ence, has been removed by “that reaper whose name is death.” This star ha-3 reflected a ray of light upon each life that was blessed to be as- , sociated with her. She was a strong j Christian, a loving wife and a kind j and patient mother. She was even1 dutiful to her church and pastor. As a friend there was none truer. The passing away of this splendid woman | j has caused sadness and gloom to hov-' ! er over the entire community. She ; has left a vacancy that will be hard i : to refill. She is not dead but sleeping, To awake the resurrection morn. There is no death, but stars go down, To rise upon the fairer shore And then in heaven’s jewelled crown They will shine forever more. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST Rev. E. II. McDonald, Pastor Sunday School was largely attend ed. The superintendent was absent i on account of illness in the family, j The pastor’s theme in the morning was “Is Your Heart Right.” In the evening, “God is a Man of War.” The Choir rendered special music. Among the visitors who worshipped were: Miss Stratton of the Y. W. C. A. A. and Mr. Washington of Lincoln. Special services next Sunday. The Public is invited. TABLE MANNERS IN ARABIA A* Might Reasonably Be Expected, They Are Primitive In the Extreme. Manners vary according to time and locality, so they say. B'or instance, In Arabia a young woman's table eti quette is judged by the skill with which she scrapes the dish with her finger and conveys the results to her month. American relief workers. Writing from Ismld, Turkey, give an account of a family luncheon party of a half-dozen Armenian girls who had been rescued from Arab harems that Is a most enlightening glimpse on man ners of the Near East. “It was during some games we held that the girls who had been in captlv- j lty among the Arabs acted out the na tive customs of their former masters. They ate without fork or knife or | spoon from a common dish placed on the ground In their midst. One girl J showed us how the Arabs eat hot food. With her finger tips she smeared the | food around the edges of the plate with : a circular movement, blowing her fin gers from time (% time. When the dish I was well smeared, she scooped up the | food with the same circular movement | and carried It Into her mouth. She j can eat thick soup thus, and more quickly than you could with a spoon. Tile soup running down her wrist was j licked off hurriedly and another scoop ful taken, for there was a circle of girls around the dish, and the slow ones lose out.’’ Severe Chinese Punishments. It is enacted in the laws of China that “If a mandarin, on the strength of his power or credit, steal the wife or daughter of any freeman, he ^hall be imprisoned for the usual time, and then put to death by strangulation” The poor man so, sinning Is bea^i and imprisoned only. The heaviest punishment that can befall the woman la castigation and sale. And in no Instance can she he sold but to n man who binds himself by the most sacred of *11 Chinese oaths to treat her kindly. In some provinces she may be sold, not by her husband, but by , the Judge before whom her offense Is • proved. 5 A Chinese who forgives a wife who .* has not kept her marital vows, re- *s eelves 20 strokes of the bamboo. A •: man who connives at Ills wife’s frailty 'i Is most severely punished. — 3 - ,i Matinee Dance Thanksgiving after- J noon, 2 lo (i p. m.. Dreamland Hall. •: —A x ; l I > i j!
