FOR NOVEMBER—THE BANNER MONTH OF MOVIES

LSigrid Onegin, contralto of the
etropolitan Opera company, will ap
pear In concert this. afternoon at 4
at the Brandeis theater under the
auspices of the Tuesday Musical club.
Mme. Onegin sang the title role of
Carmen, opposite Caruso, at the age
of 20. It was her first appearance in
opera, and she had been given two
days' notice.
Her appearance in Omaha marks
the opening of the season fdr the
Tuesday Musical club.
The next concert under Tuesday
Musical club auspices will be the ap
penrance at the Brandeis theater on
November 22 of Guy Maier and Lee
Patttson, ih a two-piano recital, joint
ly with Emil T.elmanyl, Hungarian
Violinist. The public seat sale will
open November 19.
Stanley Jan Letovsky, Omaha com
poser-pianist-conductor, has com
pleted a new polonaise, entitled
“( l Polonaise Fantastlque."
The number is dedicated to Theo
doi it .osevelt and his Rough RIdtrs.
Mr. Letovsky plans to play the com
position at his next public appear
ance.
While the polonaise rhythm is of
Polish origin, the present composi
tion is somewhat Spanish in spirit,
and full of vigor. The melody is
broad, and has striking contrapuntal
contra sts.
Mr. Letovsky also completed
recently a symphony in C major,
from which orchestral parts are now
being copied. It is possible that
Omaha may have an opportunity to
hear this symphony read some time
during the coming winter.
It would be a tremendous step for
ward musically if Omaha possessed
an, orchestra available upon occasion
the performance of a score of this
sort, even though it were only once a
month during the season. Omaha
has the material at least for the be
ginning of a symphony orchestra in
its musicians’ union and in the
studios. Very creditable symphony
concert*, everything considered, al
ready have been given.
Two things which militate chiefly
against the life of such an organiza
tion are the difficulty of assembling
all the players at one time for re
hearsal, and the fast that the con
certs must be given between the hour
the moving picture musicians leave
the pit in the afternoon, and the hour
when they return, early in the eve
ning.
A permanent symphony orchestra
is not possible except by grace of
guarantors, or popular subscription,
which is the same thing in a dif
ferent form, or endowment. But if
there be any method whereby mu
sicians otherwise employed may also
become available for monthly sym
phony concerts, then, by all the gods,
let It be sought out.
Some of the ballet music from
“Sylvia” by Delibes will be played
this week by the Rialto theater or
chestra, under the direction of Harry
Brader, as part of Its regular pro
gram; to wit, the March and Pro
cessional of Bacchus.
Delibes, in spite of his other names,
"Clement." “Philibert,” and “Leo,”
was a composer of fascinating grace
and charm. His first ballet, “La
Source,” was produced in 1866* Other

" “Ashes °/\fengeance "
I*
IT IS with great pride that the Strand Theater an
nounces the coming of Norma Talmadge in her most
majestic masterpiece, “Ashes of Vengeance.”
“Smilin’ Through,” “The Eternal Flame,” “The Voice
From the Minaret,” “Within the Law”—magnificent pic
tures all—big pictures in which Norma Talmadge made
firmer still her foremost position in the hearts of an
admiring world.
Yet these are dwarfed in drama, in romance, in spectacle
by this splendid production.
Never before a picture like this; and, perhaps, never one
as great to follow.
The masterpiece of a star supreme!

which will be presented by him at the
Brandelg the week commencing Sun

Patricia O’Hearn took the Fail

up to the Sh'ubert offices, smiled
and inside of three hours was re

appeared in the revue two weeks
when she was summoned to the part
played by Fay Bainter in “The Kiss
Burglar." Then she become one sea
son the leading woman of “Up in the
Clouds” and last year had the impor
tant title role of “Lady Butterfly.”
Then deciding she had acquired suf
ficient self confidOTice and that elu
sive but Invaluable thing, “stage
sense,” she walked herself quietly
into the John Golden office, took the
pledge from appearing in musical
comedy ever again, crossed her heart,
and landed the richest plum of the
Golden roster, the role of Mrs. Tom
my Tucker in the "First Year.”
“I suppose," said Patricia, “any
girl hearing of this will say a stage
career is a cinch; but In getting

place heel to toe, to reach from Fall
River to New York.”

An Embryo Barnum.
Frank Borzage was busy directing
scenes with half a dozen youngsters
of the street In his new picture "Chil
dren of Dust,” which comes to
Omaha this month.
One of the juveniles had a bright
idea for some diversion between
scenes so went Outside and found
some children who were anxious to
see the studio.
"Wanna git In?” questioned one of
the urchins.
"Sure—how kin we?”
“Gimme a penny an’ I'll take yer
troogh—yeh kin see Brozn-gee and
all the acters—they're makln' real
movies from Noo York.”
Soon the director noticed that his
gang of Gramercy Park youngsters
had mysteriously grown from six to
nearly 36.
“Hey Bunny,” he yelled to his as
sistant. “where’d this regiment come
from?”
Then Bunny went on a still hunt
for a hole in the wall, but came upon
the youthful financier working his
Barnum speech outside.
Sol Lessor returned on same ship
Declares American pictures leading
the field in Russia and big trade pos
sibilities there for them. Wonder If
they are going to pay American prices
in Russian rubles.
Rose Says That
Ladies Are Her Most
Unrelenting Critics
"Ladles are attending burlesque
with their eyes upon the gowns we
wear,” says Rosa Rosalia, prlma
donna of "Queens of Purls” at the
Gayety theater, "but they demand
more than gowns. Ladies are my
most severe and at the same time
most appreciative critics. In any line
of stage work the actress has a more
exacting audience than players In the
movies, for Instance. We must not
alone wear stylish gowns, but we
must be able to really act our roles
and sing, because we are present in
.person and not In shadow. Any ordi
nary looking girl can be dressed up
in clothes from some great modiste
and she’ll be a treat for the eye. Not
every moving picture actress has
talent, but if she is good looking and
well dressed, she has something with
which to compensate her admirers for
any lack of talent. But In burlesque
we must not alone be well dressed,
but we must be at our beat, artistic
ally and physically all the time.”
Buster Keaton boasts a full-length
comedy in "Hospitality,” without one
foot of trick phtography.
With the Reviewer.
"The During Years," a heart Inter
est tale of a modern youth’s life, is
entering the Omaha territory this
month. Melodramatic In story char
acter, the cast Interpreting the story
has brought forth a touch of sym
pathy In their roles that makes the
film better than a straight melodrama
of the wages of sin theme.
Charles Emmett Mack, loaned for
the picture by D. W. Griffith, por
trays the leading role In a way that
speaks well for his future. Mildred
Harris plays the part of the dancer
who lures the boy away from his
homo life into a gay whirl of cabaret
levels. Mary Carr makes her usual
excellent mother and Clara Bow of
“Down to the Sea in Ships" fame, is
the adoring sweetheart who awaits
his return‘home.
Ten years ago Harold Shaw made
a historical romance of the South
African republic. Because of other
contracts he was forced to refuse an
offer made this week by Premier Jan
Christian Smuts of South Africa to
make another picture under the
auspices of the government.
Sidney R. Kent, genera! sales man
ager for Paramount, wired Adolph
Zukor that "The Ten Command
ments" of Cecil B. De Mille’s would
gross $10,000,000 In f-evenue. Sidney
evidently thinks well of the picture.
REEL REMARKS
By I ho M. P. Kditnr.
■'Revelation." which, with Alla
Nazimova, was one of the greatest
films of Its time (eight years ago),
is to he made again with Viola Dana
In the lead.
Anna Q. Nilsson, who has recently
finished "Ponjola ” which is coming
to the Omaha Rialto In November,
hag been awarded a part In Richard
Walton Tully's new film, "Flowing
Gold."
B. P. Schulberg. who pays .many
salaries as the pi -ducrr of Preferred
Pictures, comes forward with the
statement that actors are worth all
they can get. That's Inviting the
whirlwind, we should say.
Gloria Swanson is looking for some
one to play the role of a newspaper
man in her new role, "The Humming
Bird." Again we ask. are newspaper
men so scarece, or does the thought
of earning a movie salary numb them
all?
Conway Tcarlc says that every vlsi
tor at the studio during the making
of Norma Ta madge’s ‘Ag*-s of Venge
ance" cost the company $100. Time
stiff cit-nt to Introduce a visitor to the
star, cost $150. Oh. boy.

“Look, papa! They forgot to put ^
the back in that dress!”
All the humor, drama and thrill of the great
est characters fiction, stage or screen has
ever known.
With the original stars; a follies show; a style
show; dazzling beauties; all the stuff that
makes a picture wonderful.
If you liked it on the stage don’t miss it on
the screen. It’s better, bigger, greater, fun
nier than ever before.
