TITE OMAITA DAILY IVEE: SATT7HDAY, FEBRtTARY 21, 1003. COMEDY CLUB IN THE CRITIC Bnooessfnl Amateur Psrformance at the Creighton University Auditorium. SOCIETY APPLAUDS EXCELLENT ACTING Varefnlly Prepared and Well Tre ented rrn Win Mirk Kindly Commendation from the Ijirite Aodlfncf, If the chief function of comedy la to create, laughter, the presentation of "The Critic" by the Omaha Comedy club at Creighton university hall laat night achieved the full purpose for which It was Intended. The youthful actors entered In telligently into the spirit with which Rlcfiard Brlnsley Sheridan sought to make ridiculous the bewlgged and silken-breeched ultra-refined critics and gentlemen-dramatists of his day. They succeeded In paint ing on the humor without daubing It and by subdued and legitimate methods kept a breezo of smiles and chuckles and loud guffaws abroad in the large audience all the time. "And the merriment was not at the expense of the actors, but was ac credited properly to the roles they played and the funny things the play-people did and the awkward gesture they made. The announcement that It was to be the chief society event of the kind of the season was no false prophecy. Society filled th auditorium to the last seat, to the total exclusion of almost everything else. It was kindly In Its applause and generous of tho. appreciation bestowed upon the first real "production" of the Comedy club. The organization has not been very long In existence and Its member kre debutantes, or Vhat answers to debutantes among the members of the sex that wear mustaches or will some day. Wlae la Choice of Play. Wisdom and good sens was shown by the club In the selection of Sheridan's "The Critic" a an Initial play. It 1 pure comedy straight through, flavored with quiet but stinging satire directed to certain efforts made to elevate or disintegrate the tags, according to the point of view. "The Critic" Is almost good enough and certainly Is old enough to be a classic, and Is a play within a play, showing a re hearsal of a "heavy" drama by "Puff," a well-meaning but short-sighted gentleman author, and witnessed by "Dangle," a pa tron of that sort of thing, and a gimlet eyed critic, "Sneer." Inasmuch as the actors have, by permission of the author, cut out such parts of the play as they like, the result la a 'ludicrous combination of nonsenso, bombarded by the atlll more funny comments of Dangle and Sneer, as they sit in a box, and the efforts of Puff to. make the rehearsal a "go." Mr. Harry Doorly, as Puff, had tho lead ing mala role, enacting it with far more than ordinary skill. The part was hard to do Just right, as it had to combine the essence of gentility and politeness that never forgets Itself with the annoyance of the author who sees the child of his brain carved to pieces by dull actors and stupid friends. Mr. Rex Moorehouse, as Sneer, the critic, disdainful and burning for the attenuated unattainable, waa cleverly dextrous with Inflection and man nerisms. 'In the part of Dangle, Mr, Bob Burns clearly showed that the former gen tleman felt perfectly able to weigh and consider the drama, without In the least knowing what It was all about. Mlaa Hltchcock'e Dual Role. Miss Margaret Hitchcock, by the retire-m7?-?iM.i?"-'.uHn Hol4rde .pA,cotint ot. the- dangerous sickness of a relative, played the part of Mrs. Danglu, a well as thAt of pnndant. for which she was oast. 1 the former her denunciation of her hus band for his Interest in plas. players and critics, was neatly done. Whether she looked the prettier In high, . powdered coiffure and stately gown as Mrs. Dsngle orHn the simpler guise of Confidant was a HuosUoo. but she exacted all there was foiij praise from both the roles, making about as automatio a Confidant as even the Inspired Puff in his most inspired moments would ,have been, 1 Miss Oretcben Crounsa In the heroic role orTllburnta did skillful travestys that to Mr. Puff seenvjd the most exalted things of their kind out of Olympus, but which tho audience thought delightfully funny. Bhe wore beautiful gowns and was charm ing. As with ail the other actors, what she did was carefully removed from the realm of the overdone. In fact, the free don) from rant and conscious effort and slap-stick methods was one ot the most satisfactory features. . What the Others Did. Mis Bessie Towle was a petite maid and Miss Anna Bourke and Mis Mary Holdredge were dramatic as tho two nieces who would murder poer Whlskerandos. Tha latter was portrayed by Mr. Lawrence Brinker and was almost too funny to bo alive. His death was a horrible example ot what awful things might happen on the stage If imagination Is given free play and allowed to forget the study ot human na ture. , Mr. Wlllard Barrows as Lord Bur lotgh and as Beefeater was heroically limp and slaughtered Whlskerandoe with due respect to the absence ot the location of vital organs under the armpits. Mr. George Mclntyra as Governor Tilbury Fort was a man of pensive gloom and grand pathos. Mr. Vernon Chase as Sir Walter Raleigh and Mr. Tom McShane as Sir Christopher Hatton kept the desire to laugh at high ebb while they were upon the stage, while Mr. Conrsd Young as Master ot Horse and Mr. Paul Haskell as Prompter did all that was possible with brief lines and sudden and short appear ances. The play was given under the direction of Mlsa Arabel M. Kimball, 'who has evl- Omaha People PRAISE PARACAflPH. dently expended a great del of careful and efficient work upon the club members. The stage management was excellent, snd act 1 was true to Its time, 1799. snd dainty as to appointment. It showed the breakfast room of Mr. Dangle. Minute attention had been given the matter of costuming and as a result the apparel was rich and taste ful and exact. The costumes were by Theodore Loeben and the music was fur nished by Letovsky's orchestra. t aut of Character.

Twice every year, on Washington's birthday and the Fourth ot July, Edith Helena, the sweet singer at the Orpheuin this week, sings "The Star Spangled Ban ner," and. In conformity with this pa triotic custom, she will sing It tonight, for the first time on a vaudeville stage. Miss Helena first sang the grand national song five years ago. Just before the declara tion of war with Spain. It was at a con cert in New York City, and she so aroused the patriotism of the audience that they cheered her again and again. Then she sang it the night before the Seventy-first regiment left New York for the front, 1,200 strong. In August of the same year Miss Helena vra at Montauk Point, and she saw the same regiment, wasted and thinned by fighting, hardship and disease, march by from the transport to the deten tion camp. That night she sang "The Star Spangled Banner" again, but tears were In her eyes, and hundreds of officers who, bare-headed, stood at attention, were pro foundly moved by the wondrous music. Mrs. John A. Logan put her arms about the beautiful young singer and kissed her while she thanked her in a tear-choked voice. In the spring of 1900 Helena'was in San Antonio, Tex., and was asked to sing at a reunion of confederate veterans. She sang The Star Spangled Banner," and by her side on the opera house stage stood a white-haired man who had been a member of Jefferson Davis' cabinet during the re bellion. The former boys in gray stood while the song was sung and when it was finished voiced their delight with an old time rebel yell. Then came a request from Oklahoma City, In July of the same year, for Helena to sing the song at the second annual reunion ot Roosevelt's Rough Riders. She went from San Antonio to the reunion and there sang "The Star Spangler Banner" to an udience of 10,000 people. Theodore Roose velt stood beside her as she sang and his lips moved with the words. ' A sergeant waved the torn battle flag of the Rough Riders over the heads of the singer and Colonel Roosevelt and the people" cheared again and again. After the song Colonel Roosevelt said to Miss Helena: ' "I have heard that song all my life; it is a familiar to me as the Lord's Prayer, but I wish to say to you that never before have I really heard it sung." A golden key to the. City of qklahom was presented to Helena and-when she took the train for Tefas she warf escorted to the depot by 1,000 Rough Riders, and cowboys, who, ns the cars moved off, gave ber a part ing salute of honor with their six-shooters. The next Important occasion upon which Helena sang "The Star Spangled Banner" was at. the opening of the republican na tional campaign in Louisiana in October, 1900. For the first time since before the war of the rebellion. "The Star Spangled Banner" was heard In public in Wew Or leans. She sang it for 5,000 people in the old Washington artillery armory there, and the scene was one never to be forgotten. Men stood with the tears streaming down their cheek and at the end went wild with excitement and enthusiasm. One old white haired man, who had worn the stars of a general in the confederate cause, escorted Helena to her carriage and as he bade her goodnight bent over her hand and with trembling voice said: ' "Madame, I wish to thank you for what you have done this night. You have sung that song back into my heart once more." And so before she went on the vaudeville stage Bdlth Helena got to be known a "The Star Spangled Banner" girl, and very proud i she of the title, for she loves the song above all others, and she sings It with all her soul in ber voice. Evidence from home to better than a thousand mile away. Hundreds of people are dally ' using Paracamph In our city with marvelous results, v Mr. O. H.

OMAHA VIEWERS EXPAND SOME Decide to Extend tho Jarlsdlctloa ot Their Clob to Comprise the Vicinity." After two hours' debate the Omaha View Improvement club adopted a new constitu tion ' and bylaw Friday night. The im portant changes in the constitution are the transferlng of the authority of filling va cancies which may occur in the official list of the club from the club vote to the pre siding officer; also the Increasing of the honorary membership fee and the extension of the club' Jurisdiction. Heretofore the club has represented only Omaha View district. The new constitu tion was amended to read "Omaha View and vicinity." -Much objection was made to the change. As the Jurisdiction now stands the club has taken upon itself to improve the entire Sixth ward. This will meet with objection on the part ot the North Omaha Improvement club, the south boundary ot which is in close proximity to that ot the northern limits of the former boundary of the Omaha View club, while the Pralpect Hill club's interests will not conflict with those ot the Omaha View club's future ef forts. It was the prevailing opinion that the club will soon lose its prestige, aims and identity and be engulfed In the ad vancing strides of the two other organlia- any part of the body. W would not be without it la our bom for any considera tion." Mr. r. M. Hawes, Hit Howard street, Omaha, says: "Having secured a bottle ot Paracamph from tyuhn Co.. druggUU, and given It a thorough trial, I find that It I all that Is claimed tor It and a moot valuable household necessity."

Owing to the resignation of Treasurer O'Donnell, President Callahan appointed A. J. Storey to complete the unexpired term. It was reported that the Omaha View school building would be provided with the proper Ore escapes at once. The club w.ll make an effort to secure from Mr. Reed, the owner of the strip ot land on Thirty-third street which caused a Jog la the highway, a deed given to the city, which will permit the proposed exten sion of the street car line along that thoroughfare. Inasmuch as the Omaha View district is now without a sewer, with the exception of the private sewer owned by the school board and extending from the -Omaha View ehoolhouse, it wss snggested that step be taken to secure the necessary Improvement it possible. It was suggested, ss an al ternative, that connection be made with the new sewer which Is to be laid lalo the AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA f ublio School Teachers and Janitor Will Be Faid in Cash. FINANCES OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Fiscal Tear W ill loae with Large Decrease la the Flootlnar Indebt edness of Board Macla City- Oosslp. Secretary Lott of the Board of Educa tion has announced that there is money on hand to pay the teachers and Janitors In cash for the month of February. In this case there will be no necessity for Issuing warrants. Thus the Interest will be saved to the taxpayers. While the district had something over $3,000 on hand, Treasurer Howe secured from the state apportion ment enough to make the payments In cash on March 1. It Is understood that the school district overlsp 'wl:i be less this year than It was twelve months ago. This year on April 1 the present board expects to have not over $30,000 overlap, as compared with $56,000 a year ago. Now 116 teachers are employed and at the same time last year only 103 were engaged In teaching. In addition to cutting down the over lap some ot the members of the board as sert that sixteen new rooms have been built and that provision has been made for the large increase in the enrollment. In May the school district will have the money paid In by saloon keepers for the annual license unless Laverty secures a restraining order from the courts prevent ing the board from using this money for the purpose of educating' children. Ac countants who have gone over the books of the board say that the records are in excellent sbspe. Christian Association Kates. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock Rev. C. W.
