And when It Is added that his sinpers can ring', that his dancers can dance, and that his comedians are really funny, the story of the evening is about told. "The Red Rose" Is extensive in every way, and to particularize means to exhaust the vocabulary of praise, so the task will not be undertaken. The best way to get a full notion of what Is offered is to at tend at tho Brandeis while the company Is holding- foi-th there and see for your self. It has three long acts, each stuffed full of the prettiest of pictures of girls and men, with songs and dances and humorous sallies, and all telling a really connected story of life, and love in Paris, In whins, students, the nobility, and the Americans who visit the French capital. Miss Zoo Burnett Is the hard workinsr member of the company; she has not an idle moment, for when she Is not on the Ftage slngins In a captivating way, or Canclng in a way still mbre fetching, she Is In her dressing room Inwlly setting into another sown, more stunning than the last. She wears about a dozen dif ferent costumes, all of tho latest, and scmo that are cilmoHt daring, but every one an exquisite creation; incidentally. she has the hats to go with them, and If it is only viewed from a sartorial standpoint, her performance Is a distinct hit. But Miss Harnett can sing wonder fully well, and dance beautifully, so she Is a real treat. Miss De Von Is a saucy soubrette of a dashing sort, and Miss Ellsworth In troduces herself to us as another female comedian of quality. Kach of theso young persons can dauco and sing. And tWa statement goes . for the whole feminine contingent of the company, the same counting well over a score of pretty Klrls, who are given the opportunity of appearing in many differing garbs, all charming. Mr. rrascona slugs with a single fault; his tones are sweet and pure, but his enunciation Is such as to prevent any. ne from catching a word of his songs. The men are well selected, and the male, chorus Is especially strong. Song hits and dance numbers that bring demands for more abound, in fact "The Itcd Rose" Is even more than the advance notices iiromlued, it is as good a musical piece as has been presented hero In a long time, or as is likely to be seen hero this season. Its reception at the' Bran dels last night was most enthusiastic, and It ought to be very popular during the remainder of Its time In town. The en gagement lasts till after 'Wednesday night, with a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. Blllr" at the American After having teamed for two weeks on serious drama patrons of. the American theater enthusiastically welcomed ' the change to farce comedy Sunday after noon, when the Woodward titock com pany began a week's run with "Billy." "Billy" la what might be called a screaming farce. The play Is built around a couple of sets of false teeth, the own ers being Billy llargravc, a foot bull hero and Mrs. Moane, tho mother of Beatrice, with whom Hargrave is In love. Sam Kustace also loves Beatricu. When all uro voyaging across the Atlantic Eustace poisons Mrs. fc-loane usalnst Hargrave by painting him us a fait young man and fickle. Hargrave proposes to Beatrice and begins with a confession that he has false teeth. Ono of the crew awkwardly bumps against him, knocking him down. Ho loses his teeth, lit flees in embar rassment. Beatrice thinks the confession to abruptly ended was to have been a confession of a "past." Hargrave, des perate for teeth, steals those of Mrs. i-Uoane while she bleep. Kustace, to win favor with her, endeavors to find the thief. Hargrave's ' lost teeth are put up at auction. Ho is determined to have them and Kustace, thinking they are Mrs. Sloane'a, makes u contest. The bidding starts at fn, jumps quickly to hundredj and finally the teeth ure knocked down to Hargrave at $l.tx. He eplaln"to Beatrice. She apologist.. fur doubting him and all imlu well.

MUa Lam as a stubborn, pretty, sweet. ount; tlrl, , finds herself In a part well suited lj her. Seldom has she appeared to LttU-.- ad vantage. Mis Blanche MoiiHon offers a splendid piece of character uetln in her portrayal of the mother of Beatricu. MLss Lotus Itobb makes for Hargrave tl.o sort of later that any fellow might like to have. Miss Jean Margo, the stewardess, mukiM the most of a CJernsan character und does all that could be required In Ipihllnf up her side of several side-splitting scenes with Hargrave. Frank Jones, the new comedian of the Woodward company, plays the boatswain and offers ample proof that Manager Woodward made no mistake whin he picked hjni for a good actor. Robert T. Preaton.

Bni'lrsiiuc nt the Cjcyety. Sam Howe'B menu for the pr?5.-nt sea son imparted a very laiste assortment f enjoyment to the audiences at the Oayety yesterday. Sam Howe calls his organi zation "Love Makers." Mayhap they are; but yesterday they were fun makers. It Is a good show, with such a sprinkling of all sorts of burlesque that It Is very easy to enjoy. Ohapcly girls swimming In a huso tank of water brought out a nolxy demonstration of approval. Two trained dceis, tho property of Frank demon, drew a small wagon about the ttage, and though they have but recently been broken to drive In harno.-s, they acted as though they had been pulling wagons for several years. Sam Jlowe himself, with a brilliant group of chorus girls and much attractive scenery about him, led the love-making contingent cn a merry chaso through two high gecred acts. The olio is strong with one coon singer of merit. For Tuesday night Munuger Johnson announces that election returns will be reported from the stage of the tJayety.

Outnlde of the three stars, the work of Frank L'enlthornu was especially com mendable. Tho stupid young English cuptaln, who Is in reality a clever do tectlve, was excellently portrayed by him. Mr. Denlthorne was a member of tho Woodward fitoel; company In Omaha for two seasons. Tho story, as already hinted, hlngos on the faculty of Ilalston for imitating hundwrltlng. Ho and the baron perpe trated numberless frauds through this talent. Tho two are exposed through the coming to Fngland, at the request of Captain Hedwood, the detective, of Louis Percival, who had lost JCW.ilflO through a forgery hi America. Percival was an old friend of Halston and was once engaged to Mrs. Halston.

Vaudeville nt the Orplieiim. Mere mention of the fact that a musical act Is topping the bin at the urpheum this week cannot by any means suffice to convey the assurance that any such pre sentation Is good enough to serve as a headllncr. llut 11. A. liolfe is among the congress of virtuosos In what the autVor Is pleased to style "The Holfonlans." He Is the producer of many vaudeville acts, among which Is "The Courtiers." recently playing ut the Orphcum with tremendous succers. "The Holfonlans" appear In a lawn fete on a Virginia country estate. They play ami they sing, and everything Is done gracefully, exquisitely, magnifi cently. Holfe, too, by the wn'. Is known ns America's premier cornetlst, and he fully sustains his reputation with his marvelotm performance. Madamo Hesson comes with her F.ng llsh company In a dramatic, playlet, "The Woman Who Knew." The lines are finely drawn, though tremendous In effect, deal ing with passions that bring on divorces, and though highly dramatic, there Is a burst of comedy at tht climax that lifts the audience from tears. It sounds like a bit absurd, but It la true, that at tho matinee performance Bunday a man, a big hearty fellow, went Into such paroxysms of laughter that he cried, and It was necessary for his friends to carry him out of the theater. This happened when Chick Kales, the comody piotean entertainer, was presenting his conception of "A Country School Enter tainment." With remaikable versatility ho makes seven changes of character so rapidly that the audience Is astounded. Aside from showing wonderful Ingenuity In quick changes he gives the most laugh, able performance seen at the Urpheum this season. Ills art runs nearly thirty minutes, and still the audience does not tire of him. Wero, an Italian musician, gives a per formance with that novel Instrument, the piano accordion, lie deserves the encores he received Bunday. Jack Connelly and Margaret Webb appear in a musical ub- Hinility, "A Htormy Finish." This act is great. John Helmorn and Miss olive Adair give "Scenes ltehtnd tho Hectics." It la full of comedy and goes big. Mae Kae ami Levering tlo some novel work as trick bicyclists, exploiting an entirely new line of comedy. llnrlesqne at thn Krna.

Pren nan'a talk was accompanied by motion pictures of tho series, and everybody who was present was pleased with the story and the views. The National league umpire Is an added feature with the "Yankee loodle dliis," a show that has much merit because of a strong set of principals and a very nice looking bunch of girls, who are dressed In pretty costumes. Harry Seyon Is a successful fun producer. Then there are Lew Heynolds and Pam llawley, two onmndlaiiH of more tlmn burlesque talent.

It is such a state ment as cannot be made by any other dealer in Omaha who has sold any quantity of other makes of high priced '. automobiles for any considerable length of time. We want you to read this carefully and con sider how much it means in assured satisfaction to the purchaser of a Pierce Arrow. Here it is: There is not one man in our territory who over bought a Pierce Arrow, no matter how long ago he bought it, nor how high his f inanoial standing, but who still owns that same Pierce Arrow with the exception of one party for whom we disposed of his car at the highest price that has ever been paid for a second-hand car in this territory to enable him to purchase a higher powered Pierce. Such men as buy Pierce Arrow automobiles could not be induced under nny circumstances to continue to use a car which in any way failed to absolutely fulfill its intended purpose of giving dependable1, uninterrupted daily service to its owner. In the continued ownership of a car so good, so responsive to every demand, o creditable in appearance and m low in upkeep costs, these men have found the one great factor of economy iu motor car buying, that is, they have avoided the high rate of yearly depreciation which usually is a source of greater expense than all items of car maintenance combined. Our entire year's allotment of Pierce's will be delivered on definite schedule and we have but few open delivery dates between now and April 1st. Part of these cars are coming through with closed bodies. We shall be pleased to have you call at our sales room, 'phone or write us if you desire further information. H. E.
