' The Heir to the Hoorah" Is coming back
to the Boyd, atlll under the direction ot
the Klrke LaBhelle company, and with the
old orlg-inal production. Thla Is a typical
American play, presenting contrasted
studies of types of the east and west, tell
ing a story full of tha warmest of heart In
ternet, and yet overflowing with the rlcheet
of genuine humor. The condition of Joe
Lcy. owner of a tremendously rich mine
and head over heels In love with a woman
who has married hlrn for his money, Is
not a very pleasant one, but ha wins his
way out and In the end haa the love of his
wife and tha friendship of his partners. It
la through tha "heir" that this la largely
brought about, a fait that adds to tha in
terest of the drama. The characters ara all
types, and each Is esaential to the success
of the drama. The first performsnce will
be given on Thursday evening, and the
play will run until after Saturday night,
with a matinee on Saturday afternoon.

production used during the long runs of
the piece at the Grand Opera house, Chi

company will return to the Boyd.
One general note haa sounded through
all the expressions of regret and sorrow
for the death of Richard Mansfield. It
Is admitted by all writers that wa have
no one to take his place as a producer.
Some have gone so far as to say that we
shall not again look on his like. Thla
Is probably accurate enough ln lta final
analysis, for true genius Is of Itself, and
varies constantly In - Its manifestations.
One Mansfield la probably all wa will
have, Juat as we had but one each of a
long number of men and women who
have made themselves stand out strong
In the annals of tha world. Other actors
of genius will come, lighting many
characters with the luminosity of. their
Intellect and shining with radiance ln
their firmament. But Mansfield will be
missed mora by the present generation,
for he waa tha only one of his Rind ln
America, . England has one or two
actor-managers who produce on a liberal
scale, but we have none now. It was
this that made Mansfield Invaluable to
the stage. He produced at least one new
and worthy play each year and on an
elaborate scale. He was not niggardly
In his expenditure of time, thought or
money. Whatever he did he did with a
lavUhnees that sometimes seemed prod
igal, but always with a correct artis
tlo appreciation of the verities. Then,
more than all this, and probably hla
greatest service to tha stage, he declined
to allow himself to ba confined to a
single theater. Whether any one 'city of
America contains people Interested In
the higher forms of the drama enough
to have held Richard Mansfield busy sea
son after aeaaon will always be open to
argument. He never thought to put It
to the test. He 'limited his time ln the
larger cities, and each season travele
far throughout the length and breadth
of the land, carrying his wonderful pro
ductions of the best plays to the follks
who could not have seen htm had he
stayed 'lii one theater acason after sea
son. While he was an earnest advocate
of a state-controlled theater, regarding
It as One sure way to develope the best
in the drama, he would not venture to
restrict himself to one place for acting.
Tear after year he went from ooast to
eoast, and east, wast, north and south
knew him and hla plays. Ha put on each
piece tn Its entirety wherever he stopped
to alay. Omaha had "Peer Oynt" with
exactly the same wealth of detail that
marked It at Chicago or In New York,
and this Is true of all his plays. In this
regard Mansfield waa the greatest of hla
time, snd hla passing leaves a gap that Is
not likely to ba filled. Ha was our ose
really great actor-manager.
t'astasr atveats.
Beginning this evening, for three nights
and a special matinee on Tuesday, the
Boyd will present the tuneful, melodic,
satirical extravaganza, "Miss Pocahontas."
with all the song hits, the spectacular ef
fects, the beautiful costuming and scenery
that made It such a success during Its run
In Chicago. "Miss Pocahontas" Is In two
acta and three soenea. The first act shows
the banks of tha river at Jamestown and
the second act. In two scenes, a toreat
clearing and the magically built city of
Chief Powhatan. The music Is by Dan
Sullivan, the popular Bong writer, with sev
eral additional numbers by Augustus Bar
rett, and la of tha catchy sort. Soma of
tha anngs are: "Every IJtUe Bit," 'Whis
pering Shade." "Dear John." "I'm tha Girt
Who Kissed tha Man Who Klaaed the
Blarney Stone" and "Mamma. Come Home
U Tetir Pappooea. Walter Jonea beads
song In characteristic fashion. The con
cluding feature will bo the projection by
the klnodrome of a series of the latest mo
tion picture Ideas.
Most flattering was the reception given
twentieth century vaudeville during Its in
itial week at the Burwood theater. This
particular brand pf vaudeville has come to
stay, If tha dally Increasing crowds may
be used as a criterion by which to Judge.
No one expected so much for such small
prices of admission, and that the surprise
waa a happy one Is shown by the fact
that each day of the last week has wit
nessed a larger attendance. Particularly
noticeable was this at the matinee per
formances. As a return for the generous
patronage accorded, the management will
offer a still stronger bill for the week start
ing tomorrow matinee. Heading the bill
will be seen Don Leno's Boys and Girls, a
complete musical comedy company pre
senting the Jlngly, slngy comedietta, "Ex
amination Day at School." Special scenery
Is carried for thia act. Not only of Interest
to scientists, but to the general public, will
be the demonstration at every performance
by Captain Henry of the wonderful possi
bilities of wireless telegraphy, tha Invention
of Marconi. Captain Henry waa formerly
a resident of Omaha. "Tha Walking Dele
gate" la tha title ot a sketch to be pre
sented by Harry BooVer and company. It
Is ssld to be one continuous laugh. Bar
ney Williams will do his share of the en
tertaining by means of a monologue. Two
more beautifully Illuminated ballads, to ba
sung by Walter Spencer, will find apace
on the program, as will O. D. Paddock,
comedian. Tha Burwood's own "unusual"
moving pictures will round out this bill.
