tory Coirari Karlnrted from Tom
ptlatloa to ilve Fair Basis
for Comparison.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb.. lec. 9.-(Speolal.)-A
ycur ago, Herbert Totter, a graduate of
tho University of Nebraska, under the
direction of Chancellor Avery, secured
statistics from a number of typical In1
stltutloni (state and private), In order
that a basis might be secured for com
paring feea at Nebraska with Institutions
of equal rank, or with those whom Ne
braska aspires to equal in quality of
work. Mr. Potter submitted his figures
to the various Institutions for revision
and correction. The data secured Is be
llcvod to be very nearly correct up to
January 1. 1911.
In order to give a fair basis for com
pnrlson of cost in these Institutions, those
- fixed fees have been compiled that are
ili.irged of students In the general col
leges. The professional colleges and the
laboratory courses have been excluded.
Incidental, tuition, library. Infirmary,
vand other fixed fees, per year:

Chicago (approx) SO
Colorado 15

May be remitted In case of poverty.
Engineering students,
To those paying laboratory fees, $t.
In addition to the above it goes with
out saying that all of these Institutions
charge fees for material consumed in the
laboratory. Thus, in Nebraska a student
pays a flat fee of $5 for chemistry 1. In
Ohio ha, would pay for a similar course a
flat fee of $2 for the use of gas, water,
etc., and in addition to this he would buy
a card for $5 on which the value of the
material used would be punched. Thus
at the end of the semester he might have
a balance due him, or ho might have used
up several cards. In the University of
Wisconsin the deposit for a course In
chemistry runs from $15 to I2G, with a re
turnable balance. Experience shows,
however, that the cost la higher than In
Nebraska, the reason being that the stu
dents have more and better apparatus
to work with. In addition to the tuition
paid at Yale, a full course in chemtBtry
cost! a laboratory fee of S45. In Harvard
the chemistry fee Is from 112 to (26, and
students are liable to go much above this
amount for the use of material and for
breakage.

Aa much entertainment for the money

Is provided by "The Echo," which be
gan a week's engagement at the Bran
dels with a belated matinee yesterday
afternoon. The train schedule between
Katifaa City and Omaha lived up to Ita
reputation, and the result was the show
was late getting into the village. A good
natured crowd waited for It to commence,
and enjoyed It all throughall but one
man, who weht back to his hotel and
wrote a letter to the editor. Insisting it
was an outrage and an insult. He es
pecially complained that the musical di
rector of the company rehearsed the
house . orchestra, carefully explaining
tho score and the cues, before the per
formance commenced. Awful, Isn't It!
"The Kcho" has a plot and something
of a story, but the plot has so little to
do with the affair that It may be
neglected by the public quite as much
as it is by the company. The pro
ceedings are mostly song and dance, al
though some clever comedy Is sprinkled
through. The one fact that Is Impressed
on the beholder is that the song and
dance element is splendidly cared for.
The singers ' can sing and the dancers
can dance, and the rest of It doesn't
count for a great deal, aa musical- plays
go these days. And, lastly, it is clean
throughout.
Blanche Deyo Is shining in the stellar
capacity, being both a songbird and a
danseuse. showing herself a willing
worker in both departments. But It Is
Caroline Dixon who gets the big ap
plause for singing; sbe has a lyric so
prano voice of sweetness, range and
power, seldom excelled, the purity of her
tones being remarkable. And Marie
Sabbott, young and pretty, floats through
her dancea like a bit of thistledown
wafted by soft breezes. Misses Lyd-
yard and Fletcher are also dancers of
unusual attainment, and Messrs. Mc
Bride and Cavanaugh claim a good deal
of attraction for their conn .butlona in
this line, of endeavor.
Franker Woods Is funny; i. , loo, adds
a grotesque dance to heap uo high the
measure of goodness afforded. Herman
Hlrachbertf ia also funny and adds much
to the pleasure of th. performance. And
the others, the chorus Included, work ef
fectively together to the general success.
You'll hear some new airs whistled on
the streets today; they come from "The
Echo," much of the music for the piece
having been written to encourage
whistling. Tha audiences of Sunday will
be the pioneers but will be joined by
many others before the week la over.
Arrangements were made yesterday
whereby the engagement of the com
pany was extended to Include the en-
tiro week at the Brandels, with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
the balance of the week. Tonight's bill
will be "Macbeth."
The Cobmrn Players at Boyd'a.
Shakespeare's comedy, "Taming of the
Shrew," ably was presented by the Co
burn players with Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Douvllle Coburn In the leading roles, at
Boyd's last nlgflt. A mere handful of play
goers witnessed a production that was
worthy of a crowded house. From time
to time those who were there laughed and
applauded vigorously. The company re
sponded to numerous curtain calls after
each scene and act.
'Taming of the Shrew" is a star's play.
The greater part of the burden of the
production rests upon the shoulders of
ihose who carry tha roles of Petruchto and
(Catherine, the shrew. For those who
play the other parts there Is compara
tively little to do except provide detail
and character background of a quality
high enough tqmeet the demands of the
stars. These minor roles appeared to be
enacted by persons who had studied the
characters, and had rehearsed with con-
tclentlous care.
Mr. Coburn's interpretation of the char
acter of Petruchlo, who does not woo aa
a babe, who tames his wife by outdoing
her in "shrewishness," Is done with a
spontaneity, a freedom from ataglness
that always Is highly pleasing and too
seldom is found.
Mrs. Coburn, as Katherine, makes the
change from the unconquered and sup
posedly unconquerable shrew to the hum
ble and .obedient wifo Just aa gradually
aa the play demands It shall be done.
In the succeeding clashes with her hus
band her spit-It weakens, but not too
perceptibly, not enough to afford the
husband reason to believe she has been
"tamed." Only In the last scene, in which
sbe tells the other women Just how a
wife should conduct herself toward her
better half and why Is she thoroughly
subdued.
D. C. Perclval plays Petruchlo's ser
vant, Urumio, with the drollery which
one must believe was contemplated by
the playwright. Miss Beatrice Harron
as Blanca, George Gaul as Blanca's
lover, Leopold Lane'aa Baptlata and Era.
klne 8a n ford as Vlncentlo are effective
In their respective roles. The stag set

The Coburn players remain at Boyd's
"A Stranger In a trana I. and' at
the American.
Complications almost Innumerable de
velop when tho American Indian Jack
Thorndyke was to have brought back to
England from his cattle ninth In Buffalo,
N. V., falls to appear as per schedule.
This, g a nutshell. Is "A Strange In a
Strange Land," the offering for the week
of the Woodward Stock company at the
American. Thorndyke never had a ranch,
but he wished to lemaln In the good
graces of his aunt, Mrs. Barton Hoi
combe, whose was tho power, if she de
sired to withhold from him for ten years
more the fortune his father had left him.
When the Indian he had hired to play
the part failed to appear Thorndyke got
a friend to become a "redskin" for the
time. Uncle Charley picked up a real
Indian and hlird him for the same Job.
Neither knew wh:it tho other had done.
Complications enough developed, but a
detective also chose to play Indian for
a while, which made things a great deal
worae. Tho arrival of Alice Wellington,
of no leas a place than Omaha, doubled
the troubles of Thorndyke, for he knew
she could see all sorts of funny things
In his story of ranch life and massacres
in Buffalo. Needless to say, they wed
in the last act.
The pi try Is well staged and well acted.
Austin Webb makes an excellent Jack
Thorndyke. Miss Lang is a charming Miss
Wellington, but duos not dominate the
play to the exclusion of all others. Miss
Blanche Moulton aa Mrs. Holcombe, Miss
Lotus Robb as Grace Thorndyke, Miss
Jean Margo as May Holcombe, DeFoiest
Dawley as the leal Indian, Kail Gaidner
and Robert Preston aa the Imitations all
carry difficult parts satisfactorily. Frank
Jones as Uncle Charley and Harry Ken
neth as Dr. Boiler are among the niuBt
successful laugh pioducers.
Vaudeville at the Ornbeuiu.
"The Son of Solomon," a beautifully
staged and well acted sketch, la the chief
offering at the Orpheuin this week. The
play la presented by Hubert Herbert,
assisted by Thomus A, Kverett and Miss
Margot Williams, The story la of a father
trying to act the part of a mother aa
well aa a father to hla two children. The
boy geta Into bud company and gradually
becomes a criminal, while the girl stays
at home with the father; the boy at
tempts to rob the house and is prevented
by his sister; the father and son be
coming reconciled, the son giving up
the life he had been living. Herbert, In
the part of the lather, is very good, his
funny sayings greatly offsetting the
somber features of the act.
James P. Conlln, Lillian Steele and Ed
die Carr, presenting "Fresh From the
College," were well received. The act,
while for the most part musical, has a
bit of comedy mingled in that Is very
good.
The Three Leiglitons In "A One Night
Stand in Minstrelsy," offer a bit of com
edy that ranka among tho beat. They
sing "Steamboat Bill," the song that
has been ao popular of late and which
was composed by the trio. The Six Am
erican Dancers are a decided change
from the usual dancing acts. The cos
tumes of the dancers adds much to the
act.
La Arenera and Victor In the dance of
the "Love of tho Rose." Is a little out
of the ordinary dancing sketches. La
Arenera is one of the few dancers who are
able to dance from the end of their toes
to the tips of their fingers. Roy Cum
mlngs and Helen Glndvings In a comedy
act were heartily applauded. Henry
Cllve, assisted by Miss Mai Sturgi"
Walker do some good magical work.
Bnrlrvnse at the Krutr.
Heralded as a bunch of pretty merry
making chorus girls, who could firmly
establish the claim of Missouri to the
tlt'e of the only and original "show me"
state, the "Girls from Missouri" upheld
their reputation and "showed" crowded
houses at the Krug Sunday afternoon and
evening. F.va Mull and Mildred Cecil
are two mighty attractive burlesque of
ferings. Also, they are supported by a
chorus which would be considered much
tetter looking If the two stars were less
pretty. The "models a la carte" drew
a "wh-e-e-w" of approval from the audi
enceparticularly fiom the masculine por
Hon of it. Eva Mull. Margaret Clemlns
and Mildred Cecil were continually called
back after their specialties until the
audience desisted out of mercy to them.
A combination of musical nonsense,
elaborate costumery, pretty stage effects,
new songs and up-to-date parodies and
humorous interpretations of old stand
bys completes the makeup of a very
entertaining show.
Burlesque at th" Unyriy,
The World of Pleasure company at the
Gayety theater this week Is amply capa
ble of furnishing' an evening of pleasure
that they demonstrated Sunday after
noon and evening. The show Is hlgh
c'ass extravaganza. And It is an enter
tainment with a delightful continuity,
wherein it differs from . many classed
with it. From the start the ahow travels
with snappy swiftness, dramatic n dents
catchy aongs and gorgeous costumes and
artistic omission of them, compelling at
tention and applause. Some of the songs
are "The Rio Grande Grind." the "Yid
dish Colleen," "On the Boulevard," "I'll
Go the Route WJth You." "JVhat's tho
Use of Money" and some parodies by
"Plonsky" and "Plncus," which In some
Instances surpass the original and be
cause of the humor In them always get
ft gladder hand. "Plonakf" and "Pln
cus," Will Fox and Harry Marks Stewart,
off the stage, were called back to repeat
and continue their parodies so often that
at last they refused to sing more for fear
the entertainment would lap over Into
Monday morning.
The company carries Its own aoenerv
and depicts In the first act Coney Island,
which lends a brilliant background for
the preaentatlon of fascinating songa,
dances and dialogues.
