As Abbe Bonaparte, a dear old German
priest. Mr. James O'Neill, known to the
stage for years in such vigorous roles as
Vlrglnliis and Monte Crlsto, came back to
Omaha Sunday night and won from a
moderate sized audience an enthusiastic
curtain call for his strength and lovable
ness. The old. kindly man, wise enough
to know that the simple homely life ho
leads Is the best for himself and the
young people under his care, is a part
which Mr. O'Neill fits himself Into with
success, und the few times when the fire
and dash which made hint famous In more
heroic parts came to the surface were
made the more expressive by his passion.
The priest has the blood of Napoleon the
great In his veins, and when his imperial
nephew Rends his troops to aid a scheming,
worldly woman in obtaining from the
abbe a foundling whom she claims as her
child the man defies his "little nephew
Napoleon, '' and his instruments, and re
fuses their offers of advancement, and
honor for the happiness of his home and
his children. The girl waif whom he had
raised from Infancy is dearer to hlni than
all that the Parisians can offer, and their
very kindness makes him distrustful and
alert. With the soldiers he assumes a
commanding air that brings obedience and
prompt action, in spite of their com
mander's orders. Mr. O'Neill makes the
ahbe a rvpresentatve of the Napoleon
keenn.ss combined with a nobility and
kindliness developed from long and loving
service to the needs of ills parish and the
little flock of children who have no other
parent.
The supporting cast is thoroughly compe
tent, and Stephano, the girl's fisherman
lover, and Adide, the foundling, whom the
Parisian woman claims as her deserted
daughter, are as pleasantly handsome a
pair as two peasants could be, and play
their parts as young, open-hearted lovers
with fine enthusiasm. The rest of the cast
is well chosen, Mr. James O'Neill, Jr., be
ing a most shivery man of the world, and
Isabel Sherman a masterful clever woman
of fashion.
The. play Itself, while It develops at the
end of each act a stirring and artistic cli
max, makes a few false steps which lean
to melodrama In some places. In Mr.
O'Neill's own role the melodramatic lints
are handled with a repression that takes
their theatiic effect from them. To those
who are romantic enough to enjoy a play
in which the vllllan and the Vlllianess are
plainly marked and robbed of their prey
by a truly manly old hero, "Abbe Bona
parte" offers a very attractive entertain
ment. The scenic effects are not varied,
but they are beautiful, and the atmosphere
of quaint costumes and wild island peasant
life gives an excellent background for the
action. Mr. O'Neill has a role which gives
him every opportunity to act and hla act
ing is well worth Beelng.
"Mra. Temple's Telearram" at the Bar
wood. The Burwood Stock company in "Mrs.
Temple's Telegram," a comedy In three acts
by Mrs. Frank Wyatt, under direction of
Frank Bacon. The cast:
Jack Temple William Grew
Frank Fuller John Todd
Cuptaln Sharp J. Lane Connor
Wlgson Frank Bacon
John Brown Edward Cllsbee
Mrs. Jack Temple Lorna Elliott
Dorothy, her sister Pearl Stearns
Mrs. Frank Fuller Sibyl Beyers
Mrs. Brown Jane Jeffery
Director Bacon Is surely trying out the
Burwood Stock company as to the ver
satility of Its members, and Is affording
each week further proof ofthelr capabili
ties. !t would be hard to Imagine any
two plays further apart than "Romeo and
Juliet" and "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," for
they are at opposite poles, yet the very
creditable production of the sad love story
told by Shakespeare Is followed by an
equally creditable production of a light
and breezy tale of an episode in modern
domestic life. The comedy presented this
week is a merry tale of how a Jealous
wife didn't trust her husband and got lied
to most gloriously for her pains; of how
the liar was trapped In his own verbosity,
and of how everything came out right In
the end. And some mighty amusing com
plications crop out here and there along
the way, affording an endless amount of
fun. So that, whereas, the Burwood last
week was heavy with sighs and damp with
tears for the fate of two fond lovers,
this week it will ring with the merry laugh
ter of folks who enjoy the predicament into
which the Individuals concerned In the play
have fallen because they were not entirely
frank with each other.
Mr. Grew Is the hUBband who gets caught
over night in the Ferris wheel, and Mr.
Todd is the mendacious friend who gaily
goes forth to lie the husband out of his
scrape. It is a real pleasure to listen to
Todd as he reels off his Plckletonlan fic
tion, he lies so gracefully that one almost
suspects him of having practiced. But his
local standing for probity is enough to
exonerate him from any such suspicion,
therefore he must be credited with being
a very good actor in the role. Mr. Grew
does a little sidestepping of the truth also,
and does it well. Mr. Bacon has one of his
low comedy roles, and that is enough to
say. He is always god for them. Mr. Con
nor and Mr. Cllsbee are also In the cast.
Mis8 Elliott plays the part of the Jealous
wife with nervous animation. She has a lot
of really hard work to do, too, for Mrs.
I Temple changes mood with almost every
! Bf.ntr.nre she utters, reoulrlnir the actress
to shift will kaleidoscopic rapidity through
almost the entire gamut of emotions. Miss
Elliott Is delightfuly vivacious all the way,
and makes the part most charming. Miss
Jeffrey has a comedy role that gives her
a splendid opportunity of which she avails
herself, and Miss Sterns has a fine chance,
too. Miss Beyers has the best part she
has yet played and as Mrs. Fuller redeems
the promise she made during her opening
week.

Vaudeville at tile Orpheom.
A good hearty laugh is thrown In with
every number on the bill at the Orpheum
this week. Serious moments are not en
tirely wanting, but they are few and far
between. The program Is made up with a
view to provoking mirth and all the differ
ent methods of making comedy are re
sorted to.
In the topllner Is presented a miniature
musical comedy In one act. with all the
usual accompaniments of comedians and
pretty chorus girls. "Paradise Alley" is the
name given to the brief production, and the
escene is laid in that famous alley on the
East Side in New York. Opporunity Is
given Miss Marguerite Haney for several
sprightly dances and tuneful songs. In
w-hlch she is assisted by Eddie I.ane. Wil
liam P. Burt has a "Dutch" comedy part,
and John Walsh accomplishes the same re
sults In conventional Irish dialect. The
chorus of alley maidens Is good, both to the
eye and ear.
First place on the bill as a pure funmaker
will be given to that old veteran of the clr.
cus rang, "Slivers," or, as ho Is named on
the program, Frank Slivers Oakley, who
has made the whole country laugh In his
one-man base ball stunt with Barnum &
Bailey's circus. He uses the same stunt
on the stage, but has Improved and en
larged It and It has been made better all
around. He is assisted by Artie Nelson, a
clever tumbler. The Majestic trio of col
ored singers and dancers, open the bill with
a lively skit along conventional "coon"
lines, and scored an unusual success for
an opening number. Tom Armstrong and
Miss Ella Verne were likewise successful
In getting the applause, chlfly because of
Mr. Armstrong's original comedy work. Mr.
Henry Keane and Miss Olive Briscoe get
considerable fun for the audience out of a
satire on the' "Trial Marriage," and Charles
Wayne and company have a "morning
after" act full of low comedy of a laugh
able character. Llepzlg, billed as the
