GAYETY AGAIN SCORES
Retain of the Show That Did the
Gayety’s Biggest Business Last
Season is Better Than
Ever
Lew Talbot’s presentations of “Wine
Woman and Song” twice daily next
week at the popular Gayety theater
promises the return of a show always
popular on the Columbia “Wheel”
and, this year, made more attractive
than ever by new scenery, costumes
and mirthful scenes. 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.

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.
