Nothing; but tha mer riest of comedy will be offpred, save for the first two nights, tvhen the bill at the Krug will approach the serious. At the Boyd one of the best of American conceits along the lino of comedy will be presented by a company that ought to fairly make a snap. The Ilur wood has for Its bill a farce comedy that has stood the test of a gooA many years, and at the Krug the Inst five days of the week will ba turned over to musical com edy. At the Orpheum the vaudevlllo bill will have a deep comedy ting, and thus the spirit of the occasion will be re flected at the theaters, and the merry makers will find nothing there not In keep ing with their mood. This Is correct from a managerial point of view, and probably also from the point of art. It Is recalled that a couple of seasons ago a manuger thought maybe art might be called op during the carnival time at Omaha, and ao he sent hither a star whose a huso name is writ high amnog classical actors, and he regaled the few who attended his performance with extra Illustrated pre sentations of some of the greatest plays in the realm of the stage. But as a financial success K was a glorious failure. The public would have none of the serious at that time, and the star, perhaps, still suf fering from his disappointment, has reso- ! lutely set his fiu-e against Omaha since J and threatens to do so forever. But he ' only paid the penalty of offering the public j Shakespeare when It wanted Georg? Cohan. How do we know? Well, the next season a Cohan company In a Cohan play at the same theater did a business that Is held up to the eyes of grumbling agents and managers when they undertake to say that Omaha Is not a good -show town. Tills Is the season for coined y, and the Omaha manager knows It. sands of dollars. Unfortunate Investments sent him back Into the shpw business, a poor mun, but with the name old play that delighted so many thousands before. He Is again piloting "My Sweetheart" through the country, and his old friends are glad to see that his tour Is attended by some thing like success. And still another old timer will burst upon our gase some time during the winter, for Minnie Palmer has returned to America from England and Is breaking Into the vaudeville game. It is not known how soon she will reach Omaha, but It Is pretty certain she will be out this way If she can make her act stick. SALOME OF TUB MIDDI.K AiiV.H Like Her of the Twentieth Cenlorj Rhe Danced. Once upon a time there was another Salome. Not like the paSHlve Instrument of Bible story, much less like the perverted Jade of modern Invention, but a real once upon a time Salome; haunting, wistful naively grotesque, was the Salome of thu middle ages, half ghost, half goddess, half Christian, half pagan, to be pitk;d, feared and conciliated. This Salome Hans Chris tian Andersen might have made kin t the Marsh King's daughter or Barrie, might have made her a grown up sister of Feter Pan. The daughter of Herodlas made as deep an impression on the Imagination of the early middle ages us she has on that of the twentieth century, but with this differ ence, that now fancy is burdened with weary knowledge of human degeneracy, while then it soared wild and credulous through the spirit world. In those old days man had not been long separated and was not completely weaned from his heathen gods. The church had only succeeded In tearing them from their high estate and transforming Uiem from adored beings Into malign creatureB. Tho church either became or was frjni the beginning in.lul- ence In the city of two links that bind the gent, and It prudently ullowej wiiat tt present with the past. One of these, James I could not prevent, that heathen and Chris O'Neill, Is about the last of his school of, tian tradition should here und there run aetlng. Not that he "lags superfluous on together. the stage." On the contrary. It la hoped Simple folk wished to he on th a.tfe aide, that he will be sr-ared to delight us for j and In the popular mythology there waa a many years to come. But his coming turns I gtrange mixture of Greek, Teutonic and the mind back for many a day, to times Chrlstiun personages. There was even a The last week waa notable for the pres- and kisses. The head shuddered nt her touch and tha dead mouth mlraruounly blow upon her with such power that she was whirled Into space, there to hang, flit and dance round anil round forever, the bride of the whirlwind, never to touch earth or t j soar bej-ond earthly trouble. Herodlas In her airy wanderings had distinguished company. There was Pinna, the wild huntress, and the Oermnn Hnlda, both like herself doomed to ride the storm, and together with Hcrndina the leaders of the "furious host." In their train swept thinpa to make men cover their heads in mortal .terror. There were suicides display ing their wounds, creatures riding two- legged horses, men tied on wheels, others running without heads or carrying their legs across their shoulder. There were specters of Individuality, such as tho gray horse bearing a mun booted and spurred, In a long clonk, with a bugle over his shoulder, but no head, or the hunter with face set In his neck, who, followed by dogs and women, rode a headless black horse and yelled "hoho! hoho!" There were restless ghosts with a hls ,tory, like the lndy of rank with twenty four daughter who had so passionately loved the chase thnt they had so often paid "could they but always hunt they cared not to win heaven." that one day the daughters were nil transformed Into hiiunds and the mother doomed to hunt with them forevermore. There was thp damsel who loved the chn so selfishly I that in her wild tiding she played havoc with the peasants' crops and was con demned to ride the slorm to all eternity. There were witches In the forms of cits and geese, there were polilins and wlll-o'-the-wlsps, but most blond curdling f nil were the piteous walling sou's of Infants who had died unbiptls.'d. From this grim eomrmy. from this weird revelry, ft on hrr frantic spouse, the whirlwind, poor Herodlas had a brief respite. Krom mldnipht til cockcrow she might fit In an onk or a hazel tre and breed on her hapless love and helpless sin. One other consolation was hers, the hom ngn of a half admiring, half fearful public. Ilerchatd and Worms gravly ptntes thst In the twelfth century one-third of the whole world worshipped Herodlas. The learned Jacob Grimm, who c: Mected much folk Irre for the Teutonic mythology, says thHt in the earlier half of tile nine teenth centi'ry the whirlwind was In Ger many, still accounted f ir by the dancing Herodlas wliirihr; r.r.u.id i:i the air.

Clark when he was young and as sprightly as any of the boys who are now slowly mak ing their way to the head of the procession, and a little more than emphasises tha fact that time la fleeting. Mr. O'Neill Is still a most capable romantic sctor, and as painstaking aa to detail as he was once dashing and debonnair. H haa lost some of the agility of hla youth, but the old fire still burn fiercely, and at times he flashra cut with the fresh vigor that marked him as one of the greatest In a time when to be grest among America's romantic actors was really to be great. James O'NeHI, like Joseph Jefferson, has made for hlmaelf a place In the annals of the American stage that la all his own. The other old-timer waa John R. Rogers, whoso claim to fame lies In the furore he created almost a generation ago by his unique methods of advertising a star. At a time when the outre was looaea upon by the enterprising showman as absolutely necessary, and wits were constantly racked for aome new and striking way of pre senting an attraction, Rogers placed him self well In front of his kind. In city after city, as he progressed across the country, sppeared on the bill boards: "Walt "for me; 1 am coming. M. P. M. 8." It wasn't long till this came to be understood that Minnie Palmer In "My Sweetheart" was the ob ject of this unusual method of advertising. It wouldn't get a second glance, nowadays, but It did then, and a stream of gold poured steadily Into Rogers' pockets. From the United States he went to England, where he had even greater success, and at one time was worth several hundred thou- cult of Isis still lingering In the mldille age. The devil was aa yet a person of no Importance. Ills peculiar function was exercised by the deposed gods who, hurt and indignant, lost their sociable chatact-r und became dark and dreadful powers. As men no longer honored them by their ministry these fallen deiths became evil spirits wandering and hovering In the all.

Only slie was not called Salome in mediaeval legend. but Herodlas, hrr mother's name.

We have had so many ill-chosen American plays in the last few seasons that it is a J. y to Americans living In London to get a drama that does home-made playwrights Justice. The play has been a Joy to most of the Knglish critics, too, apparently, for most of them have accorded to It pretty hearty praise. The general verdict was: Rather crude, but genuine and virile Crania. straightforward and effective. We tan only hope it will not share the fate of "The l.lon and the Mouse," which, although It as a failure financially, came within an nr of succeeding here and al most certainly would have succeeded if It had been done hy actors more used to Knglish ways and accents. "Paid In Full" was produced at the Atdwyeh theater last week with an English company, excepting Paul Arthur, the "Jimsie Smith." who has been in Knglsnd so long that most play goers here have forgotten his American origin. He gave an admirable Interpreta tion of the wise, good-natured, self-made "Jlmsle." The part of big, tough Captain Williams was entrusted to 1ouia Calvert one of the finest character actors on the Knglish stagei and be made the best of it, which Is saying much. Owing ti H. V.
