Former Senator
Welcomed Home
Chamber of Commerce Gives
Luncheon in Honor of Re
turn of Omahan.
-— /
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, former
L’nlted States senator, was officially
welcomed back to Omaha and private
life at an Omaha Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday in the
chamber dining room.
Mr. Hitchcock was presented by W.
F. Baxter, who represented the cham
ber as chairman. Mr. Baxter com
merited on the fitness of the welcome,
called attention to the reputation
gained by Mr. Hitchcock during his
lengthy term In public oftlce and ex
pressed the belief that the ex-senator
is well-fitted to hold even more re
sponsible posts.
v Glad to Return.
Expressing happiness over his re
turn to Omaha, Mr. Hitchcock called
attention to the metropolitan charac
teristic^ of this £lty as compared to
those of the same population in other
localities. He traced the fundamental
causes of Omaha's growth to, first of
all, the Missouri river, and, second,
to the establishment of the I'uion Pa
cific railroad and the resulting es
tablishment of other railroads.
He warned his audience that Oma
ha should take steps to retain Its
commanding situation as a railroad
center In view of (lie proposed merger
plan. He also urged the development
of territory tributary to Omaha as a
means of Insuring the continued
growth of Omaha.
Deflation Predicted.
Then, turning his attention to in
ternational 'affairs, Mr. Hitchcock as
serted that this country “is to a very
large extent dependent for its pros
perity on conditions in all parts of
the world.” He declared the United
States is producing a large surplus
which it is not able to sell because of
the Inability of European countries
to buy. He advanced the theory that
this country must face another della
tion period in the near future, and
closed by urging some participation
by the United States in world affairs
to restore the prosperity of the
world.

talent photoplay.

park Saturday and Sunday in order that the crowd there may be tire

Home talent plays used to he quite
the thing. Now home talent motion
pictures seem to ho getting a grip
on the amateurs' fancy. Benson is
an example of this. A few years back
the high school students and the
younger folk would have picked a
popular downtown opera house to
stage their home talent show But
now they go out and contract with a
| film company to depict their celluloid
j tragedians and comedians.
Paul Monroe and Grace Vodica are
playing the leading roles in the ama
teur play. Of course there must he a
villain and in this particular play
the long whiskered, grouchy-looking
individual is "Doc" Connelly, lie
plays the part of the Irreconcilable
father who won’t give his ear to the
