satile and veracious press agent's word
for UT If we do wa can comfort ourselves
with the thought that we wars given the
opportunity because, to quota hi M(t3.
submitted, but not printed: "Messrs. Maw
A Erlanger. who have operated upon a
gigantic mm, have found that their stock
of vaudeville novaltle. waa ao larg that
there were not theater, enough devotod to

to houaa thorn. It therefore became neces-
sery to organise touting companies and
place them In some of the lest Important
cities between metropolitan engagements.
Thus it la that town, the .tie of Omaha
will from time to time have an opportunity
to witness and enjoy these varied entertain
ments which It ha been Impossible to gtva
them In tho past. True. It I. that these
town, have enjoyed a form of .o-calted
vaudeville, but It 1. equally true that no
other condition, than these could Influence
Messrs. Klaw A Erlanger to give to cltVt.
of this also (meaning Omaha) an oppor
tunity to witness such aa aggregation of
entertain era."
Tt wasn't to make a coHoctton of to-rent
J.ice that the K. H troupe ramped at) 7
week at the Boyd, doing "twa a day' It
wivs to give Omaha folks a chance to sea
"real" vaudeville, such sa they had never
before seen. Weil, In at least on act this
was true, Never at th Orpbeam. during
Ha nine years of operation In Omaha, ha.
such an act aa that of Hawthorn Burt
been exhibited; In the good old daya of
Mickey Mullen's or Billy Moloney's, this
pair might have played Omaha, but no
where else. Another novelty was "Jimmy"

Choir bad not sung In Omaha lor two
years, but had learned no new songs In tho
Interim. The Labrakans and the Ollnser
ttls were at the Orpheum last season, but
were offered here last week as "European
importations," while Wlllard and Bond are
familiar names to patrons of the vaudeville
in the west for many years. Of all the acts
oa this bill so flamboyantly announced,
only on was new, Hardeen, and he offered
no novelty. Ills brother, Houdlnl. has
a'lown here all the tricks with handcuffs,
don much mora neatly and expeditiously,
and tbo trunk "mystery" haa been done
by many "Illusionists." So, In tho end, one
Is forced to conclude that unless it was
