Drama League
On Friday afternoon at 4 p. m the
Drama league will present Ruth Drap
er at the Brandeia theater. She has
been called an immensely gifted act
ress, with a great dignity as an artist.
In her original character sketches.
She presents and enacts little
eamen^ of character that one minute
hold her audience tense In pathos, the
next minute laughing at the foibles
of easily recognized society types. As
she herself Is a member of the well
known Draper family of high social
standing, and as she first gave her
sketches in the drawing rooms of so
ciety she would find no obstacle in
such representations, but the marvel
is that she portrays the crudest of
gum chewing factory girls with equal
■ facility.
There was a touch of domestic sa
tire in "At an Art Gallery." with
1 the family making its rounds la
! boriously while tho little daughter
picked the numbers out of the cata
logue. And throughout she holds the
active co-operation of the roused Im
aginations of her audience.
Her Omaha program is announced
as follows:
part 1.
fa) A♦ an Art Exhibition.
(b) Three Generation* In a Court of
Doineatfr Rflatlon*.
