"A COUPLE OF MILLION" WHICH
HAD ITS PREMIES LAST
NIGHT, FINE COMEDY
From Thursday'8 D&is
Last evening the premier perform
ance of the clever comedy drama, "A
Couple of Million," was offered at the
Parmele theatre under the. auspices
of Cass chapter, Order of DcMolay,
by a splendid cast composed cf a
number of the talented young peo
ple of .he community.
The play itself wa.s one made
largely for laughing purposes and
kept the audience in a very pleasant
humor from the starting of the Iribu
lations cf "Bernis Bemniington" to
win his uncle's millions to the final
curtain when the lure of the rose
garden brought the fitting finale to
the story of laughter and love.
The story of the play briefly i3
that cf Bemis Bemmington of New
York, suddenly falling heir to the
two million dollars of his Iste la
mented uncle, and the unpleasant
conditions that hedged in the full
f.llment of the provisions of the will.
The rele cf the leading man was
carried in splendid shape by John
Lyon, as the heir of the millions,
while his friend and legal advisor,
"Jeremiah Wise" was portrayed by
Harry W. Smith and in this role Mr.
Smith added lustre to his previous
stage appearances in this city and
proved a real hit in every way in .
the part.
The role of chief fun maker of
the play was in the hands of Ray
mond Ccok as "Tiny," otherwise,
"James Patrick Burns," the office
boy of Hen. Jeremiah and later the
assistant of Bemmington in Opaloopa,
Alabama. Mr. Cook was the bright,
outstanding star of the evening and
his interpretation of the character of
the oP'ice boy was most phasing to
the auditors and Lis offering was en
thusiastically received.
As Professor Noah Jat&-the vil
lain, of the story. Otto- Tril.ity, was
very pleasing and while the charac
ter was one cf middle age, this young
"man m"de a very effective man of
knowledge and villany as v,ell. The
effcrt3 of Prof. Jatb to destroy the
chances of the hero to 'capture the
fortune and the lady of his choice,
wns one of the dramatic features of
the play.
The leading character of the gent
ler sex was undertaken by Miss
Thelma ITudcon, who brought to the
role of "Fay Fairbanks" a pleasing
personality and stage presence and
throughout the play her character
wa3 delightfully given. As the aunt,
who despite tho approachinc of the
middle age period, longed for the
love of April days, Mrs. John Lyon
proved a rerl hit and her experience
in the line of stage entertainment
wes most effectively shown In the
various tense situations of the play
when (he 'prtur.es cf the hero were
at ttake.
Mi- Gwenerve Smith, as "Sammie
Bell Porter" divided the honors of
nvch cf the comedy situations with
Mr. Cook rnd was an excellent sup
porting Tiara"tr. A Ce-rvirrvc M-"-Gully.
Miss Nellie Mae Cobles was
an ideal stenographer of the type
most frequently found In the offices
and carried her prt v.-ell in every
particulnr. Little Miss Blanche Braun
as
rink," the little darkey miss,
was winsome and pleasing and show
ed much talent in her work.
In the three last acts cf the plasv
the scenei were la id in the southland
and in theso Raymond Rebal as
"Squire Piper" and Fred Warren as
"Beverly Loman," the county sheriff,
made their - appearance. As the
squire, Mr. Rebal wa; typical of the
old drowsy southto.vn magistrate
and Mr. Warren as the daring and
intreoid officer c? the law. In the
second act of the play, the cotton
pickerc composed of Harold Fitt,
Harold Uenrer. Stewart Chase. Jame3
Vv'aricn. Karl Wurl and Harold Smith
made their appearance and assisted
Percy Fields in his two very clever
blv f?fP roner,, and this feature
served to keep the close attention of
the audience.
The specialties of Mr. Hugh E.
Wallace of Omaha, in song and of
Mcssrr George Dove: and Percy Field
in black face were both highly en
tertaining and well received by the
large audience. Mr. Wallace is one
of the most talented vocalists of
Omaha and his work was in his usual
pleasing style. George Dovey is al
wavs a real treat on the ctage and
In this act with Mr. Field added new
trhtmphs to his record as an enter
tainer. .Little Miss Charlotte Field was
most clever and winsome in the two
songs that she oiTered and it Is to
be hoped that this little lady will
continue to develop her exceptional
talent.
The orchestra under the leadership
of Miles Altman furnished some very
.lAnc-fnAp r Kara Ycs Pnro t Tl A TPTf OT-
J t CM? 11 O ' I IX U m KJ -
mance1 and after the first act of the
'play and the only regret was that
they did not allow tne auaience more
of the music.
As director of the shov Mr. Percy
H. Field has proven himself an ex
pert in his line and his excellent
work with the young people has re-"
suited in whipping them Into the,
best of shape. i

The home .cf M. Fanger, former
PlatUmoutb' .merchant, and now" a
resident of Omaha, seems to"have
teen , picked upon by the second
story workers of the big town as the
house was visited by burglars a few
nights ago, the second time in three
weeks. The unwelcome visitors made
away with a number of articles of
-value from the Fanger home and
have so far eluded capture. The fre
quency with which the homo has
been raided by burglars has caused
the family more or less worry and
they are kept constantly on the look
out lor the nest visitation.

jlr. Commander and Comrades:
Your service bureau begs leave to
submit for your consideration the
following report oi its activities and
acconmlishnients durins the year of
1921.
Scope cf This Report '
In submitting this report covering
tii,e past year's activities of your
service bureau it has been deemed
best net to bo into a deta:": n?te
ment showing the various claims and
applications which have been acted
uoon, for a great many reasons.
therefore this report will be found
to cover in a general way only the
results of the activities of your ser
vice bureau. Furthermore your se-
erty of herein making certain rec-
faciiiate the prompt adjustment of
i,imc nt m-n nn-nrx
lieved v. ere meritorious and worthy
( c attention on the part of the U. S.
Veteran's Bureau, believing that in
order that the. men who were re
ally entitled to compensation and vo
cational training, should not be re
cu'red to wait for attention, while
claims which were cot deserving of
assistance were occupying the atten
tion of the Veteran's Bureau. It has
also been the policy this bvreau
to inform all worthy ex-service men
of their rights under the Vocational
jiena Diiitation Act as passed ana ap- :
proved by congress and to this end
v.'e have had the most splendid sup-
Port of the Plattsmouuh Jou-nal. No
wortny comraue nas ren reruea tne
!'st attention we h: ve been able to
lender, mert f because of the fact
that he v.-a a member of the Ameri
can Legion,' but we have endeavored
to assist both members of the Le
gion and non-members in the same
manner. No charge has been made
for an.y service rendered to any ex-
vico comrade, it being the opin-
n obtaining tne attention ot tne
ing loans to worthy comrades, who
were in immediate need of financial i
assistance during the pendency of
the' adjustment of their claims, and
also in granting contributions to
such men who were not in a posi-
tion to renav the loans. In the mat-
ter of acquaintance and informing
tabled service men of their rights
a vote of special thanks is due to
the Plattsmouth Journal.
VICTORY MEDALS Your service
bureau has been able to assist in the
obtaining of 103 Victory Medals

In view of the fr.--t that m many;

getr. to a certain point where tue
United States Veteran's Bureau re
quests certain information which is
impossible to obtain and thus stops
the progress of tlie c:r.:ra. yoiir . ;-r--.'ce
bureau would recommend that
the delegates to the next stat3 con
vention be instructed by the local
port to do sll in its pov- .o obtair

requesting the U. S. 'Veteran's Da
ta appoint enough

ment oOcers ar? now in the field,
the number is far inadequate to sup
ply the need and no regular time
being set when these men are to visit
the various towns, the men do not
know when the placement officers
arc to visit their cities ;;nd there
fore the opportunity for efficient ser
vice is greatly handicapped.
Conclusions
It has been a real pleasure to be
able to assist in the adjustment of
the. various matters coming before
the service bureau in behalf of dis
abled comrades and others, and al-
though there has teen several claims

RESTAURANT 13 ROBBED

The town of Union which has
b?en visited by burglars' so often
that the residents have .lost track
of the number of times, was again
i
n cl
and
nicked by tho burglars last night
the restaurant of Earl Merritt,
tho nlace selected for looting. The
callers made their visit after the
closing hour when the peaceful resi
dents of the town were in -slumber-Innd
and made their entrance to the
building by raising a window in the
rear of the structure and then pro
ceeded to ransack the restaurant. A
large quantity of canned goods, to
bacco and cigars and one pound of
real country butter was the total of
the gcods stolen and in real money
amounts to close to $100. There has
been no clues unearthed as to the
robbers.
Recently the Farmer's Mercantile
Co., of that place, was also robbed
and shortly thereafter the discovery
wa made of a large number of ci
