Cssasjr Liked.
For a woman who baa sprat several
years full of labor and achievement In
trying t ihow the people of Omaha the
true artistic successes that can Ins attained
by an Intelligent stock companr when
headed by a capable actress. It must have
ben gratifying to receive such a welcome
aa Miaa Eva Lang received at the Ameri
can Saturday night when the Woodward
Stock company opened the aeaaon there.
Her flrat appearance on the, stage was the
signal for a hearty moment of applause
and she replied In a clever appreciative
little speech. At the close of the second
act she almost disappeared under a heap
of bouquets that were thrust upon her
dozens of roies and every other gorgeous
flower In magnificent dusters.
The other returning members of former
ajilcs were given a like greeting. Mr
Clinton TusUn. who did valiant service
last winter, came first upon the stage and
was not allowed to buttle a single bit be
fore he had thanked everybody 'or thank
ing him. Miss Katherin Sheldon was com
pelled to make a speech and Mr. Corwln
Luskmore, who la playing villains In the
very pink of villainous manners, waa re
membered enthusiastically for his work
during the summer with Lloyd In graham a
players.
. la m Beawtlfwl Haase.
The beautiful theater which will make
an attractive and worthy horn for the
Woodward company thla aeaaon was
packed to the roof trees. Miss Lang will
never receive a more convincing proof of
the fact that Omaha theatergoers have s
warm place for her In their hearts and a
real apt -eciatlon of her accomplishments
Tha company opena In Tne Chaperon, a
,m e comedy, it la Just the sort of thing
hat Mlsa Lang doea particularly well be-
cause of her poise, her charm and her In
fectious humor. She pulled up several
scenes that verged perilously near the Im
possible, and the company supported her
In lightness and spirit.
The moat Important of the newcomers,
Mr. Harry Burkhart, succeeds to the diffi
culties of a lopg line of capable men who
have taken the masculine leada In the
, "Woodward Stock company. He has voice
VtW a presence, a good laugh and a real
idea of what the audience expects of him.
Ha will not leap Instantly Into the greatest
popular favor, but we venture to predict
and hope that he will get the appreciation
ha deserves for his strength and per
sonality. Charming faces are not new in the com
pany, but Mlsa Lotus Robb la a discovery
aa an Ingenue, and la a aweet and most
agreeable surprise. Mr. Robert Hall Rus
eell displayed a pleasant voice In an Inter-
negated song. Mr. Macdonald, Mlsa Ade-
acter actors with promising gifts. Prom
ising not because they are untried, but be
rause they augur well for future produc
tions that Omaha la to see. Mlsa Blanche
Moulton and Mlsa Jean Marco were good
In their light comedy parts, which tested
them only slightly.
From every standpoint tha new company
la well balanced and well selected.

were of interest to people of ail classes
and interests.
Prof. Grummann appealed to the schol

fond of the drama and to those who are
interested In the problems of the day aa

able that his subjects for this year will
be equally popular and as the lecture room
at the library building will seat only 12
