Parade Farnam Street Docks
The Farnam slreet docks in 1S50 -17 girds in coals, capes, street
dresses, street suits, cost unies, knickers, and tennis sort- i stringed or
chestra—1,500 spectators—put them all together and you have the M. 11.
Smith style show, staged for out of town merchants here for Spring
Market week.
"Dame fashion has her traditions," declare the managers . r tin- en
tertainment. "She does not forget. Now and then slip reverts to tire
master fashions of former days anil repeats them. Tire presentation of
The Maids of 19T.0’ is based on this tradition—on the belief that some
day in a succeeding generation the styles of 1924 will be repeated, per
haps In 1950.
"As a fitting background for this revue, we present a 1950 scene
showing (he river front and the docks when the Missouri river waterway
plan has been completed—a step that will mark one of the greatest strides
in our history toward the upbuilding of a greater Omaha."
Endless Variety.
The last hurrying spectator is seated, the orchestra plajs s lilting
tone, and a tall, slender gir l cornea down the runway that ts in the M. K.
Fmith auditorium. -She is succeeded by another, and another, all clad in
the latest styles. The number and variety of costumes are apparently
endless. Sport coats, sport dresses, traveling dresses, street dresses,
silk dresses, wash dresses, wool dresses, enough dresses for every woman
in the audience.
The women in the audience hurst into applause, the men, unless they
are out-of-town buyers, make sure that their poeketbooks are In a safe
place.
At last the procession ceases, the curtain is drawn, and r.. .1. F.etg
of Burgess-Nash. with Mrs. Helen Hendrikson, step out before it. Borg
dives into an enormous suitcase that has been handed to him and pulls
out yards and yards of green silk. He rapidly proceeds to encase his
model, putting a pin here and there, and In five minutes he has pro
duced an evening gown. A dark green fan, a diamond sunburst and
pearls complete the picture.
Fashion's Evening Robe.
Another swoop into the suitcase ami he lias a great .-trip of carmine
silk which, under his-fingers, becomes an evening robe for Mrs. Hendrik
son. That comes off, then the gown, and with light green silk ire fash
ions a pair of pajamas.
Berg and Mrs. Hendrikson quit the stage, bowink to the vigorous
applause, and the 17 models reappear. The show goes on until the styles
change to bathing suits. Seventeen bathing suits of seventeen different
colors and seventeen different styles. The music stops. The curtain is
again drawn, and the M. E. Smith spring style show has completed its
1924 run.

"The farmers are feeling bctt"r and

Cash Business Increasing.
"I'p in our territory the farmers
are putting the money they get into
their pockets, and for this reason
cash business is increasing very rap
idly," said J. A. Anderson, Rosebud,
S. I). "The prospects for spring and
summer business are exceptionally
good. The banks are gradually get
ting over their slump."
"Money is not really easy to get,”
remarked O. K. Adcock, McGrew,

sugar beet farmers are either just In
the process of liquidation, so that they
soon will he ready to spend, or are
making plans for next year's crop.
One good sign Is the fact that a num

"Laugh and the world laughs with
you" in an old hut true saying and it
would set in as though tin* entire pop
illation of the United States were try
ing to rush into the theater to laugh
with K<l YV.vhn "The Perfect Fool"
who opens at the Hramteis theater
ti night for mi engagement of three
nays. Wynn's offering is clean-cut
;nd classy, without an Innuendo to
muse a blush to the cheek, a drop to
the eye, or a discord to the car. It is
11 "daintily different" entertainment.
True Hii t*, is "Kd's" right-hand bower
in ilie fun making, aided and abetted
by Flo Newton, John Halo, Arthur F.
Burcklv, Xydia D'Arnell, Kstello Pen
ning, Anita Purnian, Kdna llamcl,
“That Girl Quartet," the .Misses
Keyes, Kerratl, Kirkwood, and Field
ing, the clever little Meyako Trio, and
Wynn's Wynn-ing, Wynn-some chor
us of charm and beauty.
Harry .1. Conley, the wise-cracking
rube comedinn, is at the Orpheurr
this week in his rural classic, "Rice
and Old Shoes . Mr. Conley's rustic
delineations hear no earmarks of bur
leaque. They are real arid true tc
life. In any village in America you
might find the character he portrays
The plot has to do with a motorcycle
and a proposed marriage. Conley
proposes to take the girl down the
road to the church on his motorcycle
and she must marry him or walk
back. The lightning and scenic ef
fonts at the climax provide a real
novelty.
Five very attractive girls are prom
Inent In "Jlappy Days" at tiie Gave
ty—Kitty Glasco, Fay Tunis, Mahel
McCloud. Mildred Campbell and
Gladys Darling. Columbia Buries
quers are famous for fine dressing, but
the ladies of Omaha who want the
newest thing in fashion will have
their eyes filled with beauty as they
gaze on these girls—these manikins
that sing and dance and do lota of
things most entertainingly, beside*
wearing fine garments.
