Marriage f ircle Play by Author From Nebraska on Boards at Chicago Theater Writer of Harvard Prize Play “Believe Me, Xantippe," Gets Showing for His Latest Opus. Frederick Ballard, former resident of Havelock, NPb., author of the Har vard prize play, "Believe Me, Xan tlppc," has given another play en titled "The Rainy Day.” to the pub Frederick Ballard. lie. He Is also author of the piny, "Young America," which had a buc cessful run. IIIh comedy, "The Rainy Pay," had Its premier showing October 7, at tho fort theater in Chicago, under tho management of II. H. Frazee. Here are some of the comments rnnde in regard to this new play: Charles Collins of the Chicago Kve nlng Post states that evidence sub mitted at the Initial performance Is encouragement for "The Rainy Pay” to continue Its well doing and to strive onward and upward. It conlslna plenty of laughs, both for tho sentl mentallsts and the cynics, said Mr. Collins The critic describes the play hy Mr. Rallard ns one of those things In which the small town, after Illus trating tbs amazing virtues of sumo l of Its Inhabitants and the surprising dishonesty of others, blossoms In the last art into commercial glory with everyone rich and happy and the vll lalns repentant. Mr. Ballard writes, although the scenes of the play are laid In Illinois, the “life stuff' la from Nebraska, J.ut that he had his reasons for not laying those scenes In his native state. Amy Leslie of the Chicago Dally News writes that Ballard’s play haB the charm of a perfect story, rich, unctuous humor and a cast without a flaw. “Mr. Ballard writes plays which like tough going, and 'The Rainy Day’ rides the waves of guess work with dashing belief thnt things might he worse and probably will be before they are better," writes this Chicago critic. Mr. Rallard attended the University of Nehrnska before he was a student at Harvard. He Is the son of Dr. and Mrs. C. 1-'. Ballard of Havelock. Lillian Oish, who Is making "Ro mola’’ now. plans to follow It with a screen version of "Joan of Are.” Two Nationally Famous Artists to Sing in Omaha Within Five-Day Period Soon Q _ __ Events Sponsored by Tuesday Musical Club and Business and Professional Wo men’s League. Omaha is favored of the musical gods the latter part of this month and the first part of next. * Within the period of five days, be tween October 30 and November 4, local music lovers will be privileged to hear two singers of more than na tional prominence. They are Ftosa Ponselle, soprano, and Slgrld Onegin, contralto, of the Metropolitan Opera company. Miss I’onselle will appear in con cert at the Auditorium October 30, under the auspices of the Business and Professional Women’s division of the Chamber of Commerce, which successfully sponsored a series of cor certs here last year. Mme. Onegin will appear at the Rrandeis theater Sunday afternoon, November 4, in the first of a series of concerts sponsored by the Tuesday Musical club. The story of Rosa Ponselle Is one of the romances In the history of American music. Within a year, she spanned the gap between the vaude ville stage and the Metropolitan Opera house. Nor did she begin her operatic career In small roles. Instead, Rhc was coupled with Enrico Caruso in a Verdi's "La Forza del Destlno.” That was only two years ago. Since then she has sung the role of Rezla in Weber's opera "Oberon;" the role of Rachel in FFalevy’s “La Juelve;” the title role of "Aida,” and the role of Santuzza in Mascagni's “Caval leria.” On the concert platform. Miss Ponselle has duplicated her triumphs of the operatic stage and the great demand for her services throughout the country is a tribute to her art. Mme. Onegin's musical history was related in some detail In this column last week. For the rest, she possesses a contralto voice of surprising beauty, superlatively trained. Following her debut in Europe, she sang a niche for herself 4n the ranks of the Metropolitan Opera company, and has become Increasingly popular as a concert artist. From const to coast, her concert appearances have evoked the most flattering comment. Other concerts to be sponsored by the Tuesday Musical club during the season Include the appearanco in Omaha of Maier and Pattlson in a two-piano recital, with Emil Telmanyi, Hungarian violinist; the Ukrainian National chorus, the Minneapolis Sym phony orchfstra and Jacques Thl 1 baud, French violinist, in Joint recital with Pablo Casals, violoncellist. Concerts under the auspices of the Business and Professional Women's league, In addition to Rosa Ponselle, will Include Tandy Mackenzie, tenor. January 22; Chernlavsky trio, Febru ary 14; Jeanne Gordon, contralto. April », and Relnald Werrenrath. baritone, April 15. The Dane* Russe. from the Nut cracker suite by Tschalkowskl, will be offered by the orchestra at the Rialto this week, as part of the mu sical program. In point of sheer beauty, this suite probably ranks with any music ever written. Tbo Dance Rusee number Is a typi cal native dance, which, In spite of Its brilliancy, Is overshadowed by the composer's inevitable melancholy. It Is well worth hearing, and Omahans are fortunate In the possession of an orchestra of sufficient Instruments tion to permit a reading with no voice neglected. Another number on the Rialto's musical program this week Is tho overture "Marltaija" by Wallace. This overture, the best known work of Its composer, was first presented In Dondon In 1864. It found Instant recognition and has held the stago ever since by virtue of Its simple and melodious character. In addition to the orchestral num bers, Harry Brader, director, will play a selection from “Smilin’ Through," by Arthur A. Penn, as s violin solo, with piano accompaniment by Frank Strawn. The popularity of this selection Is holding Its own. not only because nf Its Intrinsic merit, but from Its as soclatlon with the play starring Jane Cowl, and the motion picture version which featured Norma Tnlmadge. Tickets have been placed on sale for the Joint concert of Stanley Jan NEIGHBORHOOD THEATERS GRAND -----* I6!h end Blnney HERBERT RAWUNSON in "THE VICTOR" J Letovsky, plnnlst, and Albert Spill man, to be given at Jacobs hall, Uni versity of Omaha, Thursday night, October 25.

Dlsbrow, baritone; the West string quartet -and Mrs. Raymond Davis, accompanist, will appear In a benefit concert for the American Legiorf, un der the auspices of the Swedish Mis sion Alumnae association, at the Brandels theater, Wednesday, Octo ber 31.

Song Composers at the Rialto Two popular song writers, Clyde Hager ami Walter Goodwin, will ap pear at the Rialto theater starting today and continuing throughout the week. ' Back In the Old Neighbor hood," their latest composition, bids fair to be one of the most popular numbers they have ever written- and It Is reported to be sweeping the country on a wave of popularity. Other popular numbers they have written are "That Wonderful Mother of Mine," ‘'Indiana." "Peaches In Georgia," and others. During the-ir engagement at the Rialto theater, they will sing their own songs and Introduce some new and original comedy creations.

CKlFFlTH'fl Well Known 5uccr«» “DREAM STREET” With Carol Drmpater AI«o “l.calhrr Puihera*' | 200 Good Coats 15c Creative Talent Is Needed for Film Land Samuel Goldwyn’s remarkable "cry to America for freshly creative Im agination'’ uttered in a New York newspaper recently, created a turmoil in film producing circles. That the man who, a few years ago, pinned his faith and a great deal of capital to the practice of filming published works of famous writers should come out in open condemnation of the prac tice, In an appeal to the unknown au thors of America for fresh story ma terial, is a fact calculated to startle many other producers. "I have looked heretofore to es tablished authors because they are Itelieved to be trained In the Instincts of drama and story telling," says Mr. Goldwyn In the article mentioned. “But now I feel that the unknown author is the one I, and the rest of the motion picture industry, need. The novice, whose plot sense far ex ceeds his feeling for words, will be the giant of the cinema of the future. “Robin Hood” Billed at Apollo and Mueller ____ "Robin Hood,” merry robber of the rich and hefriender of the poor as pictured by Douglas Fairbanks, re turns to Omaha for another showing on the screen this week.
