Miss Ponselle is a native Amer ican singer, who has achieved equal success in opera and In concert. Her tour this season Includes engage ments from coast to coast. She Is the first of five artists who will appear under the auspices of the women's division during the ft season. Her program follows: Aria.

Jean Duffield will be accompanist. The program is promising. Rachmaninoff's Prelude In G minor, not quite so well known, per haps, as the prelude In C sharp minor, which, at the present moment is reposing at the cleaner's, recover ing from an attack of bagginess at the knees, will be presented as part of the musical program this week by the Rialto theater orchestra, under ^ the direction of Harry Brader. Sergl Rachmaninoff Is one of the outstanding figures in contemporary music. He Is both a conductor and virtuoso, and considered as either— or both—he stands in the foremost rank of this century's musical per sonalities. In London, in 1899, he appeared In the triple role of com poser, orchestraf conductor and pian ist, which he since has repeated many times. The other half of the musical pro gram will consist of the Mignon overture by Thomas. The musical style of this composer Is easy, fluent and brilliant. This overture is wide ly known as a concert piece and Is typical of the French school of his period (he was bom In 1811, at Meti). All the composers from Brahms to Grainger appear to have been shuf fled, and a fetching program dealt for the joint concert of Mrs. W. Dale Clark, soprano: Harry S. Disbrow.

Western Boundary Columbia Wheel Here Did you know that Omaha is on the western boundary of the Colum bia burlesque circuit? Patrons of the Uayoty theater are fortunate in seeing some of the largest shows of the circuit because full week stands have always been the policy for bur lesque here. Shows follow their lead er as the spokes of a wheel revolve around its hub, and that Is why the initiated call the Columbia circuit a ‘wheel.” Of the theater where Co lumbia shows appear nearly half the number are owned by subsidary cor porations of Columbia; others are leased and others are simply ‘‘book ed" by Columbia. The main house is the New York Columbia theater. Columbia territory is bounded by the . Missouri valley, the Atlantic ocean, ! the Ohio river and Canada. There, are 38 shows now playing In more : than 40 cities and towns. It is the i 22d season of Columbia burlesque. To ! make sure that the burlesque offer ings here are kept always suitable for family diversion, "Old Man Johnson”, manager of the Gayety theater, cen sors every show at Its opening per formance and watches closely throughout the week that nothing transpiring on the stage shall offend the audience. There is also an offi cial committee of censors traveling from show to show throughout the season. Through their persistent ef forts "burlesque" of the Columbia kind means something vastly differ ent from the burlesque of long ago. J. Herbert Mack is president of the Columbia Amusement company, and Jules Hurtig of Hurtig and Seamon, is vice president. Helene Chadwick announces her re tirement from the screen to become a Los Angeles real estate operator. We thought the competition w-as even tougher out there in that line. Frances Nash?

It is the brilliant' flaming genius who captured America in "Passion” and in "Gypsy Blood’.’ that returns to the screen In "The Spanish Dancer,” they declare, and the superlatives fly thick and fast in extolling the merits of the picture. It is no secret at all in the film world, that film men and the fans were a little disappoint ed in her first American pictures, but in "The Spanish Dancer,” it is de clared by enthusiastic press agent and critic alike, that Pola has achieved another success. The story, “Don Caesar, de Bazan,” was originally purchased by Para mount with the idea of starring In Xt Rodolph Valentino. His refusal to complete his contract, gave Miss Ne gri the opportunity to seize upon it tor herself. Antonio Moreno, who signed a new contract with Para mount this year, received the part which was intended for Valentino and plays opposite Miss Negri. Pola »(tri. Graves Players Coming Next to the Netv Empress E. C. Coleman, general manager of the Graves Bros, attractions, has just completed arrangements with the World Realty company, operators of the New Empress theater, for an in definite engagement of the Graves players In a series of standard mu sical comedies starting Sunday, No vember 11.

Miss Mayo Is supported by musical comedy artists of reputation, and will open their season here with a com plete presentation of “Flo Flo," orig inally produced by John Cort.

Grand Program. Sunday Monday and Tuesday— May McAvoy in “Her Reputation." Wednesday and Thursday—Johnny Hines in “Sure Fire Flint.” Friday and Saturday—Lon Chaney in “The Shock.” Beauty Objects to Melodrama. One of the 12 prize winning beau ties who are taking their first picture plunge in “Maytime," was standing timidly near Karl Struss, the camera men, as he gave Instructions to a group of electricians. "Kill the sun!” shouted Karl, Indi cating a large sun arc. A beautiful brow' was puckered In fear. Struss ground for several minutes In silence. 'Kill the twins!" he ordered, thrust lr,g » long arm In the general (lirec tion of the lights that answer to tbi* name. The new screen player backed away, her face pal*. “First it's the son, then It's the twins,’’ she palpitated. "Is 'Maytime’ going to be one of thoce terrible murder pictures?" Babe London, capable and corpu lent comedienne, has sworn off cer tain sorts of comedies. She has just completed “Kidding Katie,” a bur lesque on reducing one's weight. Hor ror of horrors! At the end of making the comedy she discovers that she has actually lost almost 30 pounds. Never again, declares Babe. She needs that weight, for it means a heavy pay check.

EDDT, The Good Old Days We ran across Hobart Bosworth over on the Metro lot, all done up In a boiled shirt, the other afternoon, and we were glad of it because It was a dull day and Hobart is always good for a colyum at least. Wo had no more than got nicely squared away In an overstuffed chair than Hobart began to talk about the old Sellg days, when he and Tons flnntschl worked together for so many pictures. It was in the heyday of the rough and ready western, and Colonel Sellg liked ’em. One day, though, they decided to make a tremendous dramatic version cf Damon and Pythias. It was to be a knockout. They got started on the picture, and then they ran Into some sort of a pinch, and they had to wire Col. Sellg for instructions. This was the wire they got hack: "Damon and Pythias old stuff stop Stake a good Western stop Exhibi tors like them.” So, said Hobart, they took Damon and Pythias and made it into a west ern and called It Steve and Dave and It was one of the biggest money makers the colonel ever had. Movie Stars Got Less. "It was a lot different in the old days,” sighed Hobart, sitting on the net in his other suit, with gold leaf nil over the walls and expensive rugs on the floors and high-priced technic ians falling all over each other In an effort to have everything Just right. •Eva Novak came over and sat down beside him. She was all done up In a white evening gown, cut high in front and low behind, and white and glittering like a Christmas tree. Hobart absently patted her hand. "In those days me and Tom—Tom Santachi,” said Hobart, "only had two costumes. One was hair pants and two-gallon hat,-and the other was rubber boots and slickers. First we’d go down to the beach with our rubber boots and slickers and make a sea story, and then while our costume was drying out we'd dust off our hair pants and two-gallon hat and make a hair pants story. "Why.” he said suddenly, rousing himself, "that picture, ‘The Sea Wolf.' all cut and ready to be distributed, only cost *9,000!” And that kind of floored us, because “The Sea Wolf” must have grossed a million or two, and for all we know it's running yet. Kind of Touchy. One of Hobart’s ^favorite stories. Is about Art Acord, who has kind of dropped out of sight here lately, and his first dress suit. It was over on the old Selig lot, and Art was fresh from Oklahoma, or wherever It was he came from, and he was Just a big raw-boned cow boy who felt lost without his horse and a few assorted plain and fancy cows to punch. "They dressed him up In a dress suit,” said Hobart, chuckling to him self, “and I’ll never forget It. He was supposed to come quietly In a door, and they gave him his cue and there was a little pause, and there he came, sidling In sort of crouched, and sidewise, with his hand up under his coat tails, and sticking out of his hind pocket was just about the biggest six-shooter you ever saw. "He was going to use it on the first man who laughed at him, and believe me, nobody did."
