Fine I'erformance of the
Comedy,
The rich comedy and tender pathos of
"Rip Van Winkle" have rot yet lost their
charm. Smiles and tears chase each other
with the same unceasing procession
through the play as of yore, and the In
dignation .aroused by Rip's Irresponsible
vagabondism7 Is as earnest as the sorrow
for his mishaps Is genuine. Immortality
Is certainly the part of this tender tale of
folk lore, for It goes to a spot that the
more Involved discussions of human affairs
can not reach. It Is humanity In Us
plainest. That Is why people continue to
laugh and cry and feel Interested beyond
the ordinary In the play. -That is why
Thomas Jefferson Is doing a good work In
keeping It alive for a generation that did
not know his revered father. It la a
worthy undertaking. And, after him, will
come another comedian of taste who will
hand It on, and so It will go on and on,
because It contains the elements that will
please as long as men and women have
hearts to touch and tears to shed.
Mr. Jefferson follows his father very
closely, feeling that a certain amount of
reverential fidelity to the example of the
still well remembered master of the role
Is proper, yet he gives some little touches
of his own personality. Without departing
seriously from any of the traditions of the
play for It has grown to be traditional
In some respects he holds it fresh and
crisp as If offered for the first time. But
In doing this he preserves the atmosphere
perfectly. No effort at moderating It in
any way is noticed. His conception of
Rip is good and his way of rendering the
part is such as gives It in its best light.
His parting with his family at the end of
tho second act Is especially a strong piece
of acting. In drunken dignity, mortally
offended by the righteous aspersions of
his wife. Rip stands In the doorway and
proceeds to prophesy what follows with a
gravity that Is almost ludicrous, saving
the scene from the effect that would fol
low a wlfe'a driving her husband Into the
storm under any provocation. His return
to his home is almost made an effective
bit of comedy.
Miss Maggie Moore Is very well cast as
Gretchcn. She has avoided the temptation"
to make the wife of Rip, a virago, and
makes her a loving, gentle helpmeet,
whose patience has been sorely tried by a
worthless scamp of a husband, who would
land In the divorce court In about a min
ute In this day. The rest of the company
Is well siuated and the performance as a
whole Is worthy.
The Boyd theater waa well filled last
night by an audience that enjoyed the
show Immensely, and applauded the work
of the actors with great enthusiasm. The
bill will run till after Saturday night, with
a matinee, on Saturday afternoon.
"Are Yon Crasyf" at the Krnar.
The musical farce, "Are You Crary,"
drew a good house Thursday night at the
Krug theater. Jack- Freahman, a lawyer,
has for his first client a woman, Angelina
SmIUiers, who glvea him a large retainer
to find her "affinity," She furnishes him
with a good description of him and also
his photograph. Jack disguises himself and
palms himself off on her as the affinity,
and the ruse works well until the real
affllnity shows up. Many ludicrous situa
tions are presented before she discovers
the dual character of her affinity. Some
good musical numbers and specialties are
Introduced during the play. Frank Dam
sel and Francis Parr made a hit with
their burlesque opera selections, and Mar
garet Gallagher did some meritorious
specialty work. The Teddy Bear chorus
was unique and the singing was good. The
play will be repeated Friday night.

NOTES ON OMAHA SOCIETY
Dance and luncheon at Country Club

BALL OVERSHADOWS ALL ELSE
Other Social Functions Shrink to Sec
ondary Consequence Compared
with Coronation Cermoaln
Vlsltlns; Girls Entertained.
All other social amusements were secon
dary yesterday In comparison with the Ak-Sar-Ben
ball. Never has society mani
fested more genuine Interest or tried to
make out-of-town visitors have one Joyous
good time as they have this season. It
would seem that a repetition of the same
event year after year would find society's
Interest waning, but there has been a mar
velous revival of Interest this year and
the new features of entertaining the out-of-town
maids by a committee of the
prominent women of Omaha has contrib
uted largely to making the week a pro
nounced aoclal success. The out-of-town
maids of honor arrived Wedneaday morn
ing, the day of the electrical parade. In
the evening they were honor guests at
1 numerous window parties, followed by sup
pers at the various homes and clubs;
Thursday they were honor guests at lunch
eons and In the evening the board of lady
managers for the ball gave a large dance
for them at the Country club. It proved
a delightful affair, about 100 guests being
present. It also afforded the desired op
portunity for the visitors to become ac
quainted, so that they will not feel like
strangers at the ball. Friday, this same
committee, which Includes Mrs. Joseph
Cudahy, Mrs. Luther Kountze, Mrs. J. R.
Beoble, Mrs. Victor Caldwell and Mrs. Jo
seph Barker, jr., gave a luncheon at the
Country club. Their guests were seated at

REPAIRS TO WATER PLANT
Improvements to Be Made Engaged
Time of Officials Home (10m
the Cast.
E. M. Fairfield end A. B. Hunt of the
Omaha Water company returned Friday
morning from a trip to the east, where
they consulted with the president of the
water company regarding necessary Im
provements and repairs to be made to the
plant. The company haa Installed four
new boilers this year and two of them are
Just being put into commission. Work on
them was started in February. Repairs
and improvements to officers' and employes'
houses at Florence are being made, but so
far the company has given no orders re
garding the construction of a second line
of main pipe from Florence to Omaha.
Thla Improvement is believed by local offi
cials to be one of the utmost Importance,
and they hope to have authority to pro
ceed with thia work.
While company officials are busy talking
of improvements and possible extensions
the Omaha Water board Is not Idle. There
will be a special meeting of the board Sat
urday night at the city hall to consider
the proposition for a bond issuo for a new
water plant. It is not probable that final
action will be taken Saturdcy, the chair
man of the committee dealing with the
water plant experts predicting an adjourn
ment until rlext week, by which time the
report of the special engineer will have
reuclied Omaha. This report was prac.
tlcally formulated during the visit of the
experts to Omaha last month and the mat
ter waa placed In the hand of M. L. Hol
man of St. Louis to be put into shape for
the water board. It Is expected that the
report will ahow a detailed plan with an
estimate of cost considerably below that
fixed by the appraiser as the value of
the Omaha Water company plant. On
this report the board will consider the
proposition for a bond issue to cover the
cost.
Twenty days' notice Is necessary for an
election to vote on a bond proposition and
there will be time enough after next
Wednesday to this purpose. Member of
the Water board are not backward In pre
dicting that a request for a bond issue will
