Aa though fully realizing that the final engagement of the season was at hand and that another opportunity of enjoying really first-class theatrical amusement would not present itself within the next three months, Omsha playgoers turned out ln full force Thursday night to aee a new and much talked about musical comedy, "When Reuben Comes to Town." There was not an available seat ln the theater after 8 o'clock and an hour later there was no more atandlng room to be sold, a condition that ha. existed but very few time, during the season. A. for the play and performance, the large audience aeemed to find much to laugh at and they were quite liberal with their applau.e, all of which would Indi cate that they were pleased. The piece is one of those musical farces without plot or purpose aside from that of causing peo ple to laugh. There are some bright line. In It, a little catchy musla and some really clever burlesque. The company is small for one of Its kind and as a whole rather ordinary. There are tew good volcea in the cast, but some beauty of both face and figure ln the chorus. One of the redeeming feature, of the performance ia the rapidity with which the fun 1. kept going. At no time does It drag or 1. the audience allowed to lose interest ln the performance, even though the dialogue la not alwaya Interesting. The final perform ance of the engagement and of the present season will be given tonight, when the same piece will be offered.
