Elliott Dexter Comes to Omaha
to Renew Former Friendships
Played Here Eight Years Ago
With E\a Lang Sloek
Company.
There are few actors who have
higher Meals than Elliott Dexter,
noted screen star, who arrived in
Omaha lust evening prior to his week’s
engagement at the Orpheuni theater,
commencing Sunday. Mr. Dexter's
tour originally did not Include Omaha,
but he insisted that it l>e Included
because he wished to he back and
visit his many friends.
Dexter was the leading man with
Eva Dang and her ^tock company that
played at the American theater, now
the Strand, about eight years ago.
Mr. Dexter, who was born In Gal
veston, Tex., began his career In a
stock company In that city,"but soon
setTiut for New York. Then began
years of Invaluable experience gained
in association with such famous
nrtlsts fyt John Drew, Margaret
Anglin, lllanche Dates, Henry Miller
and Mtirle Doro, for whom he was
leading man.
Actors of Mr. Dexter’s ability and
attributes — handsome, virile and
suave—were in particular demand for
moving pictures, and he was one of
I he flAt artists of real stage achieve
ments to he lured rfo the silent drama.
He appeared In a long list of Para
mount pictures, some of which were
“Adam’s Rib,” "The Afafirs of
Anatol,” "Flaming Youth” and “The
Kant Set.’. After this extended
career in the' movies Mr. Dexter is
back on the stage, "fn vaudeville, in a
one-act play which he wrote himself,
for a title for which he is offering
Orpheum patrons a prize. Always
through his triumphant career he
has kept his ideal uppermost. He
believes in the innate goodness of all
mankind and that no one
wholly lost that he may
generated. As a result his person
ality and his beliefs are reflected in
his work.
Playwright Blames Prohibition
for Lack of Theater Attendance
The theater may die—for the
lack of a drink.
The movies have injured the the
ater by creating a "movie eye."
The theater has no future be
cause there is no money in it for
the playwrights.
Those were the three outstand
ing statemente of Cosmo Hamilton,
speaking to members of the Drama
league at the Brandeis theater yes
terday.
The playwright gave one of the
gloomiest addresses heard recently
in the theater. His roll was much
better suited to Shakespeare's
gloomy prince of Denmark.
Hamilton blandly admitted that
he has written 29 to 30 plays. He
did not say what type of play any
of them happened to be but, judg
ing from his talk, they ikust have
all been the gloomiest of dramas.
I Foresees Kailio Plays..
The playwright is an attractive
individual. He possesses a charm
ing manner and a personality which
is very similar to that of his
brother. Sir Phillip Gibbs. All this
he Impressed upon his audience
between his volleys of gloom.
“There is one consolation In the
theater now," he said. “The radio
does not Interfere.
"As yet it hasn't realized its pos
sibilities. It is but a child.
“But when it finds out what an
amazing thing it is—what will be
the use of the stage?
“Half-hour plays will be given over
radio. Actors and actresses will be
chosen by their voices rather than
their physical attributes.
"I give you five years for all this
to develop and then the producers
of today will have retired and the
theater, with the exception of a
few uptown in >Je\v York, sub
scribed to by people determined to
be old-fashioned, will be closed.
“Everything points to this state
of affairs," the speaker continued,
gloomily.
“How do you expect a man to pay
$3.30 for a seat in a cold-looking
house In the hopes of seeing a play
which Is possibly none too good
when that man is entirely sober?
“If that same man had had a
drink when he went to purchase the
ticket he would be more Inclined to
spend his money. He also would
be more satisfied with the play
which he saw.
Takes Hap at Belasco.
“As it Is, he will go tQ a movie,
hear jazz music and taks his pleas
ure with the multitude.
“But one thing holds the theater
out of the ruck today,” Hamilton
added. “That Is the Theater guild
and the Dittle Theater movements.
“The artistic sense of the theater
today Is almost deplorable. Wit
ness Belasco and his three unmen
tionable plays. "The Dove. “The
Harem” and “Badles of the Night."
“There would be no theaters in
the world if every country should
embrace prohibition.”
The sauve playwright bowed his
way from the stage. His task of
broadcasting gloom for the benefit
of theatrical personages was over.

Scrotims of Lad Attract Cre\y
of Freight; Injuries Be-,
lievod Fatal.
Tom Welch, 16, Cliftonvllle, la., suf
fered the loss of both legs last night
when he fell beneath the wheels of a
freight car.
The boy had ben riding beneath
the car and is believed to have at
tempted to alight while the train was
in motion.
The accident spelled finis to the
long planned adventures of the boy.
He had left his home In Cliftonville
‘o see the world. The fact that he
had no funds hindered his not at all.
j There were numerous automobiles on
the road to Auburn and from ’there
he could easily take a train.
The method of stealing a ride chos
en by the boy was to slip under a
freight car onto the rods and there,
stretched out In a none too comforta
ible position, ride to his destination,
Omaha.
All went well until the train was
entering Omaha.' Then came the acci
dent.
T. L. Page, 2.r>37 North Sixty fourth
street, and William Culey. 2119 Pop
pleton avenue, members of the train
crew, heard the boys shrieks and
went to investigate.
They found Welch lying in a pool
of blood partially under the train.
The youth was taken to the Lord
I.ister hospital. There his Injuries
were attended. I.ittle hope was held
out for his recovery.

president, represented her in court.
She is living with her parents,
Thomas told the judge.
"She has had enough of married
life and she thinks she’ll never, never
marry again,” Mr. Thomas observed
to the court.
"I'm afraid ehe may change “Iter
mind in years to come," was the
judge's observation. "Most of them
do.”
But he indicated he will issue a di
vorce decree in her favor in the near
future.
MORNING STROLL
NETS BITE BY D.OG
Luke Lavins, who occupies a suite
in an Kast Douglas street hotel, was
taking his morning walk through
Jefferson square, Saturday, when he
approached a dog.
The rear end of the dog was friend
ly and Luke jumped to the conclusion
that the front end would be the
same.
■'Helo', Prince. How are ya, Pete.
Good old dog, Roger,” said Mr.
Lavins, entending a hand to pat the
quarduped upon the brow.
Whether the flog resented the
liberties taken with bis cognomen or
what will never be known.
What is positively known by Mr.
Lavins, extending a hand to pat the
canine was decidedly unfriendly.
Lacerated fingers, which he had
drr-sed at Centra! police station, left
no doubt about that.
“I’m offa doggs,” quoth Luke.
"I always liked ’em, too. But no
more, not after they go and treat me
like that."

EVERY man, woman and child
wants to have strength and
correct weight. It means the joy
ct living. To he minus strength

fighting-power in the body. It
often means you are minus nerve
power, minus red cells in your
blood, minus health, minus vitality.
It la serioua to be minus, but the
moment you increase the number
of your red-blood-cells, you begin
to become plus. That’s why S.S.S..
since 1S2$, has meant to thousands
of underweight men and women a
plus in their strength. Your body
fills to the point of power, your •
flesh becomes firmer, the age lines
that come from thinness disappear.
You look younger, firmer, happier,
and you feel it, too, all over your
body.
More red-blood-cells! S.S.S. aids
Nature in building them by tbo
million! There are no unproTen
theories about S.S.S., the scientific
results of each of its purely vege
table medicinal ingredients are ad
mitted by authorities. Begin tak
ing S.S.S. today. It will giTe you
more energy, vitality and vigor and
a more up and going appearance.
