What

Offer
(( HEYENNE DAYS.” one of
the most elaborate, thrilling
and at the same time laugh
able performances depicting the wild

six-act vaudeville bill at the World
theater. A company of eight cowbya
and cowgirls. with unridabie
bronchos, trained horses and a funny
mule appear in the novel offering
which is one of the biggest attrac
tions of its kind in the varieties.
For those who dote on harmony
singing the Exposition Jubileo Four
will more than fill the bill. Howard
and Jean Chase, well known in the
legitimate field of theatricals, offer an
uproarious one-act farce called
“Help,” a laughable story of a girl
who wants to become a business
woman and finally induces her stern
father to give her a position in his
office where she meets a woman
hater. Ryan and Ryan, popular art
ists, offer an entertaining program of
song and comedy closing with eccen
tric long shoe dancing. Arnold and
Florence present a variety of novel
ties, including, song and saxophone
selections. Hazel Stalling, “The Bird
Girl,” is a whistler of uncommon
ability who introduces popular melo
dies. On the big World organ Arthur
Hay's will present “Red Moon.” The
feature photoplay stars Viola Dana
supported by Cullen Landis in a
humorous screen story called "Love
in the Dark."
Two stellar attractions will be fea
tured in the Orpheum show which
opens for the week, with this after
noon’s performance. John R. Hymer,
who collaborated in writing the ex
tremely popular play, “East is West,"
will appear in fantastic comedy,
“Tom Walker in Dixie,” as one of the
headline attractions. This offering
requires a cast of 10 players. A com
edy playlet called, “The Speeders,” is
to he the other headline offering. This
is a musical production with an ar
ray of singing and dancing girls. In
this offering the principal fun-maker
will be the eccentric comedian, Jack
Mundy. Edward Pressler and Blanche
Klaiss, one of the featured acts, en
tertain with song, dance and music.
A pleasing musical act, “Fireside
Reverie.” is to be presented by’ El
frieda Wynne and Georges Simondet.
They present a program ranging
from favorite old songs to modern
ballads and operatic airs. The prin
i ipals ijie assisted by three other vo
calists and a pianist. “Profiteers in
Fun," Hurst and Vogt, are a pair of
comedians of unfailing effectiveness.
Erie Aardo, the eminent concert
pianist, is making a limited vaude
ville tour. He is making this his first
visit to Omaha. The Herberts are to
give a thrilling exhibition of comedy
gymnastics. Their daring feats are
performed with extreme rapidity.
Once again the cartoon comic, Aesop s
Fables, will be a screen feature.
Topics of the Hay and the Pathe
Weekly will also be shown on the
screen.
John Davidson is to come next week
as the heatiliner of the Orpheum show.
Surrounded by a company of 12
American actors, he is to appear in
the absorbing drama. "Circumstantial
Evidence," by Harrison Armstrong.
Mr. Davidson appeared with Doris
Keane in “Arsene Lupin.” the first
offering ever to be presented in the
Brandeis theater. In his present vau
deville offering there is not a woman
in the cast. It is a court room drama
which presents a tense situation.
The bill is to have three featured
acts; George AVhiting and Sadie
Burt in "Several Songs;” Bert Fitz
gibbon, the “original daffy dll;” the
Flying Henrys. sensational aeriallsts.
-%
Stone and Pillard are at the Oayet.v
to present “The Boys From Home,” I
as the principal burlesque features of
Joe Hurtlg’s “Big Show.” Both Mr.
Stone and Miss Pillard have individu
ality of method and their united ef
forts have ever been unfailing incite
ments to merriment and good cheer.
Burlesque without a chorus would be
"something else again.” and "The
Boys From Home" is stfrirtly bur
lesque. Joe Hurtig has selected a !
bevy of graceful dancers who can also
sing In harmonious unison. Lavisl^
expenditures for scenery and costumes I
have been made and stage settings,

ing has entertained and mystified
thousands of theatergoers. This sea
son Mr. Lovett has augmented his of

Etta Leads Her
Girls Through Many
Stunts Off .Stage
For most players In burlesque,
the stage of the Gayety theater Is
large enough to encompass all of the
details of an entertainment but
George Stone, Etta Pillard and “The
Big Show" require not alone the
stage but the boxes, aisles and foyer
of the orchestra (o give full expres
sion to the animation and verve that
everybody in the big company dis
plays.
Matters go along in the usual way
as the first-half of the burlesque pro
ceeds until, in one scene, the chorus
girls are lined up with their hands
on each others hips ready to proceed
with what college boys style “The
Snake Dance^’ Etta Pillard taks the
lead and for a few measures of lively
music the string of femininity weaves
in and out of the entrances used by
players.
Then they start to disappear seem
ingly for good when the door that
leads to the stage from a proscenium
box bursts open and out trots Etta
Pillard with her string of girls follow
ing on. Meanwhile the other end of
the line is leaving the stage with all
of the other principals now a part of
It and George Stone bringing up the
rear.
Miss Plllard lias now reached the
side aisle and freeing herself from the
hands of the girl behind her she
starts doing "stunts”—cartweels,
handstands and high kicking. The
orchestra leader has now turned
'round' for the performance Is being
given in the aisles of the theater, in
stead of on the stage.
Miss Plllard leads her girls across
the hack qf the house, behind the or
chestra seats, down the center aisle
and t«uk again—always shouting
with glee as she cavorts or "cart
wheels” her way bark to the stage.
George Stone, at the end of the line,
is following down the aisle perform
ing other "stunts” of a comical na
ture. When the company Is uguln
lined up. the stage la filled and there
ends the most unique "finish” a bur
lesque "first part' known fo the
amusement world.
