His supporting company oonslsts principally of those who were In the original rast. but the management has made a few changes to strengthen the per formance for this season's production.' One" scene shows, the school exterior, an other the school room, and the third a home of on of the pupils. Catchy songs and dances are Introduced In each not. the kind of songs whPh the gallery takes up almost on the Instant. In addition to 'Lucy Anna tu." "Merry-Go-Round." "Heckle Stay In Ytuir Mark Yard" and "I'd I-nve You All Ihe More for That." which met with such' favor last ear, a number of new songs are included this year which will he heard here for the first time. In cluding several compositions by lierniun Tlniberg. One of the beautiful electrical effects of "School Iays" is In the finale of the second act. It Is a merry-go-round scene and is decidedly one of the most striking mechani cal stage effects ever seen In mimical com edy. Within the twinkling of an eye the desks In the school room are placed to gether and are whirled around with the children upon them, while streamers of ribbon held up by the chorus add to the effectiveness. "School Hays" Is under the management of Stair and llavlln. Miss Lang Is coming back to her own this week at the Uoyd; which is to say she will come nearer to playing her own beautiful self than she has for sometime. The bill for the week Is "An American Widow." a comedy of three acts, in which Miss Lillian Itussell was once seen In Omaha. It tells a clever story In a clever way. and will also afford a chance for Miss Lang to show the women folks some of her new Purls frocks, which she re celved direct from Worth's last year and haa not yet had a chance to show. Several "ocstume" plays In succession have inter fered with the display of fine gowns on the atae at ti e lioyd, but this Is to be made up for In "An American Widow," which Is essentially it "di-eas" play.

Dally matinees. ti With a bill the eclipses all yet seen at tl-.o American, this handsome theater, will inter upon Its third week today with several features. Hob Fltzslmmonn and hi.i wife will delight Omaha with a clever sketch entitled "A Men's a Man for A' That." Appe.arlng with the former heavy weight champion of the world Is his hand some wife. Julia Clifford, a star In the oper atic' world. Mrs. FltJslmmons sings with clarity and range of tone heard only when a real star sings. The sketch affords the famous forulshman to give an exhibition of bag punching and this scene ends with a powerful blow that sends the bag sing ing over the heads of the audience. The ex-champion makes a standing offer, open to any blacksmith In Omaha, that he can make more horseshoes In .an hour's time than any man In the trade. . One of his most cherished mementoes Is his membership In the union. Before Fltsslmmons awoke to the fact that he had the making of a champion, he was a blacksmith in Aus trullu. and It was here, while In a speed contest, that he was first "discovered." Among the other attractions Is Miss Sadie Sherman, who will appear in her original sketch "Thoto-Types." Dave Rafael is a ventriloquist of international fame who will delight the audience with his two pigmies. Oairlty sisters have a dancing and alnging act that is decldely novel and far above the average. Leonard. Clancy Twins are laugh producers above par. They have some decldely clever parodies. "Thw Jolly Giiis," wlio are Just what for its second week In burlesque. Sunday afternoon and remain until Wednesday nlgiit giving two shows dally for the four days. "The Jolly Girls" Is a true musical extravaganza, which has for its feature numbers, two burlettae. entitled "The Fly ing Man from Mexico," and "An Irish Pa ha." interspert-ed la an olio that would In Itself he a vaudeville attraction of suffi cient merit to warrant the appreciation of the public. The burlettas offer unusual op Hrt unities for pretty scenic and electrical iffects. The musical numbers give the pretty chorus girls opioi tunltles to appear to best advantage and the cemedians keep the audience convulsed from the time the curtain rise until the finale is played In the burletta "An Irish Pasha" each member of the company Is given an op portunity to appear in a congenial role. The music Is bright and jingling, the com edy crisp and full of mirth-provoking situ ations. The coaiumes are gorgeous and these are tnhancfd bv the biilllant stsge nettings and i.nl.me eUcirUal effects, al together making up utie of the liemt bills on the burlesque stage. In the olio are Tom Kennedy, the Irish comedian: the three AimxtrongH. .sensational comedy cyclists: Ktta Victoria, Heat rice Harlowe, the crea tor of character auiigs and several other oomedlans and comediennes. - The attraction at the popular Gayety theater the coming week will be the "Mara thon Girls," Phil thertdan's new all-star oompany, to a production that Is said to be the moat pretentious that this energetic manager has t attempted. The rollick- Ing. two-act musical farce. "Craxy Finance" will be presented, and Ed Morton, singing comedian: Hastings and Wilson. "The f-uriatics "; Alfred K. Hall, eccentric come dian and dancer; Fyvie Dench. 1 Australian contralto: Carrie Cooper, dainty comedjenne: Mark Adams and. Louis Kashmnn, German character comedians, will Interpret the various roles and Introduce specialties through the performance. The many musical numbers hove been selected, not only because of their popularity but also for their fitness for the comedy, and the large company of ringing and dancing girlies will wear a varied assortment of modern and attractive costumes. Today's -.nattnee will open the engagement and starting tomorrow there will be a ladles' matinee daily. . $ An innovation will be inaugurated at the popular Gayety next Saturday night, the plan bring to give an entire evening of "amateur acts" and a few choice photo play subjects. Unlimited fun Is possible at an amateur contest, the contestants being looal aspirants to stage honors. Omaha has a world of would-le vaudeville stars and their talents will be Judged by the audience, and cash prizes awarded ac cordingly. These amateur contests will he a regular Saturday night attraction and there Is every reason to believe that they will eventually become the rage, the same as they have In many theaters In the east, where one night each week Is set side for the embryo thesplans who, in giving their version of what is entertain ing, do some outlandish, most ridiculous things, that evoke veritable waves of laughter. No ban will be placed on laughs. Vou may laugh until you faintand you undoubtedly will. KEEPING THE MIND ACTIVE .Many Wnincn I iiconarloaalY Isle the Habit of Mental l.aslnesa. Drift Wednesday is sewing day In many house holds, and on that day very often the mother finds herself silting alone in the sewing room with a great pile of mending at her feet, remarks the Hoston Herald. She has plenty to do and her fingers 'fly as she works, but how often her mind Is quite empty and her ideas float hazily by, coming from nowhere and going nowhere I She may be planning nut some details of her housekeeping or Idly turning over In her mind events that have passed or are to come. She may be nourishing old grievances or sorrows, but In nine cases out of ten she is not actively occupied mentally. When the sewing is done she leaves it with no sense of having accom plished anything except that. This mental laziness Is the result of a bad habit, that is all; the mind is happier when It Is occupied If she but knew it. If she had only learned to "commune with herself during those long hours when she is alone, she would have found the silence not lonely, but full of augg. S'.lon, and the work not tiresome, hot restful, brie would have seHeii on the last button and folded up the last garment with u sense of re ireshment instead of Weariness. Few women consistently follow out a train of thuught and arrive at a logical louclusion. They dream, they ruminate, they drift, but they do not actually think. Happy Is the woman whose mind U to stored with poetry that aa she sews she may converse with the great spirits of all time. Happy is the woman and happy la the household of which she Is the head, for she is sure to be serene, self poised and full of wise thoughts. I f Vim m r a , . i, m t .k. . . . L.
