able to be here and see such a magnlfloent
audience, which ahows tha great prosperity
of Omaha.
"These men who hav made It possible

the beginning of that structure there, the
first theater In Omaha worthy of the name.
"The contrast of oondltlon then and
now is notable. It waa a stormy, rttlny
night, and, Incidentally the mud waa thick
when I wa called upon to congratulate
James H5. Boyd and congratulate Omaha
on the opening of that theater. Think of

O. IX Woodward of Kanao CUy spoke In

behalf of the Burgess & Woodward
Theatrical company, lessees and managers
of the new playhouse. He paid high tribute
to W. J. Burgees, who Is the resident man
ager of th Brandols. He reviewed the his
tory of Mr. Burgess' connection wMh tha
varloua theatrical enterprise of Omaha,
" hare ha been a man choaen to manage
this house who Is most thoroughly fit
doubt If on of hi equal might be found.
Thl man came to Omaha nineteen years'
ago. Beginning with tho theater at Fif
teenth and Farnam streets with L. M.
Crawford down to the time when the firm
of Woodward & Burgess built the Bur-
wood he has been connected with Omaha
theaters.
"After Mr. Burgess' first Omaha theater.
the Boyd, burned, he leased th Academy of
Muslo and that burned. He then had the
Empire theater on Douglas street, which
he managed until he and the late W. A.
Paxton. jr., caused the Crelghton, now the
Orpheum, to ba built. He then secured the
Boyd and w afterwards built the Bur
wod. Now wo hav this, the most beauti
ful theater in th west I consider this
truly an evolution which qualifies him to
rut thl position. '
I hav been connected with W. J.
Burgess for seven years and when he sold
hi Interest In our affairs a few years ago
ha promised me then he would not again
engage In the theatrical business except
with me a a partner.
"W still control the Boyd, In which we
will have stock companies for two years at
loast, but to this house we will bring only
the best plays.
"It is appropriate this evening that we
have the name of a man who devoted
almost hi entire life to art Charles Froh-
man and I trust you may be able to show
your appreciation of his shows so he will
be glad to send others."
Those Who Planned It.
Mr, Woodward took occasion to give
credit to T. P. Barnett of the firm, Barnett,
Hayne A Barnett of St. Louis, architects.
He said that the theater followed out the
ideas of Mr. Barnett He also compli
mented John Latenser, local architect who
had th work in charge, as well as
others who have been Instrumental in build
ing tho beautiful playhouse.
"The cltlsene of Omaha should feel
proud that they have such a strong and
progressive firm, which would bring about
the building of this great structure. Thl
is the greatest effort this' firm ever at
tempted and it 18dedlcated to a name
which will go down to the age a a house
hold word In Omaha.
"Credit must also be given to the people
of Omaha, who demand art and support
It, and although dedicated to the name of
Brandels, It is really to the people of Omaha.
This Is th best house, the best dressed
house and the handsomest house ever as
sembled In the west.
Beautifal Interior,
The theater was on its first night com
plete in all of its splendor, perfect and
finished in every detail. With tba audience
seated a picture of rare brilliancy was
presented. Walls of golden subdued tints In
panel of rich i brocaded tapestry, deep
mossy carpets of bullion galoon, the dain
ty tracery of exquisite design In marble
and plaster, a wealth of illumination made
the background for row of handsomely
garbed spectator. There wa much of
brilliance without garlshneas, richness
without ostentation.
The Interior in the style of Louis XVI.
enlivened with, hare and there a touch of
modernness, gave expression to all the
beauty that the heritage from French art
could give. The courts of Louis could
hardly surpass In elegance the spectacle
presented last night In the theater beautiful.
So great was th publlo Interest In tba
event that hundreds gathered about the
entrance and along the street to see all
that was visible from the outside. The
onlookers gathered an hour before, the
house began to fill and lingered until long
after tha program of the evening waa un
der way. Th motor cars and carriages
that brought the first night audience to
the theater lined the street for a block
around in all directions.
In the lobby of the theater gifts of
flowers to the people behind the enterprise
were displayed In profusion and added to
make th ensemble most beautiful. The
floral tributes were all of the magnificent
order In various designs and consisted
of huge horseshoes, clusters of aseltas.
Jack rosea and American Beautlea and vlo
leta and lilies of the valley.

Society donned Its best last evening to
do honor to th formal opening of the
beautiful new Brandels theater. Such
wealth of flowers and jewels ha never
been shown In Omaha until last evening.
This waa also tha beginning of a new
era In Omaha aocial circles. Thla was the
first evening that nearly all of tha boxea
hav been filled with people wearing the
correct thing full evening dress. Hereto
fore th majority of tha feminine con
ttngent haa worn hats, especially In the
boxes. But Omaha women hav ever
been independent In matter of dress.
This Is a local fad, but at last they am
disposed to fall In line with th greater
cities.
Exquisite jewtls wer worn, many of
them being Christmas girt, and thl waa
th first large and formal occasion when
they could be worn. Other wore antique
jewels of considerable value which usually

"Arsene Lupin," Is a Trench play; that
accounts for tha fact that its hero does
some things tn a way that would have
been much more lmprooslv If they had
been done a trifle less theatrically. But
Lupin Is Just about what Raffles would
have been If Raffles had been born In
France and of French parentage, Instead
of having been the product of far-off Aus
tralia (a fact that was revealed sometime
after his escape through the clcck.) In the
matter of the management of tha final
escape Arsene docs it extremely vell, but
with such a Gallic flourish as more or
less detracts from the effect that would
have been achieved If It were cjnductod
with more Ango-Saxon directness. But
it Is the fact that Interests us, and not
the method, nnd that Arsene Lupin finally
escapee the law as personified by the de
tective, certainly gratlfie all us g)cd,
honest citizens who sat out In front and
who never stole anything In all our lives
of colorless honesty. That he was gjingT
away with the girl he loved, who was
also a thief, mukes It all the more cer
tain that he wauld devote his talent to
wrys of industrious mediocrity. So, let
him run.
