EGRET1TLLT Indeed did Omaha

3. A. Wolfe of the Wolfe Btock company ha.
arranged for the use of the Knur theater,
and will there Install his company for the
summer. The length of the run Is Inde
finite, but the season opens on Thursday
evening with the play first offered here by
Mr. James CNrill, "The Manxman." Mr.
Wolfe Is a mannger-actnr of many year,
experience, and his organisation Is one
that Is well known In the east. In the
company which opens on Thursday Mr.
Prank C. Long will be the leading man.
He Is an actor of much experience In

being at Cleveland. Miss Grsce Huff, who
has already had an Introduction to Omaha
people, will be the leading woman of the
company. Herbert Dobbins also known
here, an actor of ability, will be the heavy
man. Charles Archer and My Shannon
are to do the "character.," and Miss Nellie
Long will do the Ingenue. Mr. Wolfe him
self will do the Juvenile., and Fred C.
Frlnk and T. Ashton MacRae are to be the
comedians of the organisation. Mr. Wolfe
Is arranging for a good line of plays for
the season, and promise, some new ones,
among them Kdward Milton Royle's great
success, "The Rquawman." He expects
to take "The Virginian" on Its first trip
through the smaller town, of the west
during the coming season, and may
produce It at the Krug during hla summer
engagement. At all events, Mr. Wolfe
promise, to give plays that will be clean
and Interesting, and expect, to merit
liberal patronage.
With the passing of the winter season,
and th. cloning of the theater, for the
summer term, come, the perennial cry for
a better stage. This mean, better thing,
on the stage, and the answer Is "Not yet."

How far this pernicious Influence has had
an effect on the affairs of society at large
cannot be told, or even guessed at with
any degree of accuracy, but tt certainly
has been bod. It cannot help but be evil.
Young people, whose minds are not yet

then the end Is not far off. For year, the

sign of decadence that we no longer tol-

can do a service to the publlo by making
it unpopular to offer any play whose action
deals solely with those vices which police
authorities ln all ages have battled against.
In one way the managers themselves have
