These fig ures submitted at the Investigation Fri day resulted Ih a row between A est stent City Engineer Csmpen and A. A. Alter, promoter 1a the employ of Mr. Fanning.

Mr. Artsr said the figures submitted were accurate, but that those shown Prldsy were unintentionally Incorrect, as some of the bide were cer. rted ever from the previous year, 1907.

The enly way it could be I nc retted in alt or volume of sound would be to take It out of doors or pat It Into a clrcua tent. It has some very good features, though; It is remarkable for Its tpectacular effects, although the verities have been In some measure sacrificed in order to provide for the spectacle, especially In the battle scene A gentleman from Texas, wne sat through ths plsy hut night, said mors powder waa burned in Ihla one scene than was consumed during the satire time ef the Madera rebellion along the Rio Grande last spring. Another extremely realistic picture is the awakening of the oonboys on ths round up: the early morn ing rising,, ths hastily matched breakfast, tbs trip te the remuda en toot with saddle ; In hand and the return, mounted on a broncho that vigorously resented the op eration, affords a very exact picture of what actually lakes piece In real life on the range. But It is not all spectacular, and some very good acting goes with ths show of pictures. Rspley Holmes Is Just as picturesque in the role of "Slim" Hoover aa Edmund Day or Macklyn Arburklo ever could be, and rolls bit cigarette with hand much mora deftly than did either. Miss Henius It very goon as Echo Allen, and Mlts Macauley It a charming soubrette. Mr. llsrris larks Just a Hills of being convincing In tht earlier momenta of the play, but gets better aa It sore oa. And each member of the company might oe names lor tpertal commeadatton tor soma bit of ex cellent acting contributed te make the whole a good and attractive performance The Brsndels theater last nlaht hel more people than had aver paid ta got within It walla before It was Uteraily paimea, lipeteird and down, and the enjoy ment of all was apparent from ths unstinted applause thst fallowed not enly the curtains but ths points" made by ths plsyers. Burlesque, garbed so as to wsaeniDit Its rest character. That is "Around the Clock," a little bit of nothingness which beaan a two days' stsstun at the Boyd last evening, presenting Its motley enter tslnment lo a very falr-slsed houts. which la many Instanoee seemed ihorouchly te anjey the harlequin of Blllle Ritchie and a few ef his mala supporters who were fully aa funny aa their principal. In ear ing that Ritchie la funny it should be ststsd thst there are several degrees of fun; Jutt how funny Rltchis Is esa not be recorded here. People last evening laughed at him sometimes-ao It Is ssid here that he la funny. Probably none of the audience went te the Boyd expecting a thoroughly re fined entertainment, so none of them were heard to complain; most of them re tained their seats to ths conclusion of the performance, too, which to another bit of evidence tending to prove that the audience enjoyed the show. It Is fully the equal of sny of our burlesque menus. Indeed, the chorus reschea a higher plane then most of thoas that come this way. They are garbed In pretty costumes. Ths show ttseir Is not poorly stsged. B'.llle Ritchie is thrown Into ths role of a "drunk." He attracts attention maluly through tossing chain about and hurl ing himself Into the trmt of men and women. Ritchie's Intoxicetlon seems t, fed lout, for at one time there wore three "drunks" upon the stage, one of there being a yoang society woman whe came In smoking a clgaret. and thea wound up by singing that delightfully refined little song. "Ooh. La La." Let It be remembered, though, thst "Around the Clock" Is good burlesque. Tandeellle nt the Orsheam. Pat Rooney and a pretty, talented girl. Marion Bent by name, are chosen by Martin Beck as the large letter due for the Orpbeuta program this week. And the audiences yestsrday let Mr. Beck's choice suffice, although the pair'e very clever iketrh. "The Busy Bellboy," did not greatly transcend two or three ether aumbart of the entertainment. . Ta be Mnnt, the entire MS tbla week le better when the Woodward Stock company opened a week of The Right of Way" Sunday afternoon. The approval was forthcoming. Elliott Dexter "made good." I Mite Lotus Rebb, a charming young ae Itresa, who made herself popular In Ju j venllea in the Woodward company, played la lead and triumphed. These were the j featurea af the opening of "The Right of Way." ... Sir Gilbert Parker's novel Is one that waa difficult of dramatisation in the firat place; tn the second, the character of Charles Steele ts one that Is extremely difficult of satisfactory protrayal on the stage. It Is no easy chore to make a sue ceta of the role of a man who la so near and yet so far from a contemptible thing. It la comparatively easy to play a bad man and to play a good one, a strong ur a weak; ta play ana that la weak and strong nt one time and bad and good, yet with the strength and ths good slightly dominant that la work for an actor. Mr. Dexter is a keener virile actor. From bis flrxt appearance the auditor fetls a satisfying knowledge that the man la strong. He known he will be equal to the demands of the play. He does not need to fear nor doubt about what the evening will develop. Mist Rebb takes the part of Rosalis admirably for an actress of her youth end one moat af whose experience has been In roles more purely Juvenile. She Is a thoroughly lovable. Innocent, trust ing girl, full of faith so strong and love so strong that they are proof agalast every power that possibly could attack. Of the other players John Ellis figures most prominently. Aa Joe Portugais he has opportunity to produce a fine piece of character acting. He makes the rough riverman, who murdered in righteous wrath, was saved from the gallows by Charley Steele, and repaid him with a life's alaviah devotion, a thoroughly like able fellow. Altogether. "Ths Right uf Wsy" Is a satisfying pity, well stsged and well acted. Bnrlesqae at the Krng. For pure burlesque pleasure "Kiss New Tork. Jr.," offering at the Krug for the current week, has mors to resommend It than any company that has been present at thla playhouse during ths present sea son. There la much talent la this cast. Ths Frank slaters, for Instance, present a song and joke number that msrits mors thsn the burlesque stage. Most of their Jokes are entirely new, which Is aa steel that TS.oromoifs lha act ta any audience. "The Awakening." a Parlsiea act In which the Apache hi done. cornet elose ta being the best Intsrpretatten of Psrls Apache lite that Omaha has ssen. "The Watermelon Trust," another number of the olio, la thoroughly enjoyable. "A Mother s Last Wish" drew a strong hand. More than the usual number of songs are rendered during the Pi oar eat of ths show. One of the ace net Is laid la a hotel snd ths other pictures western life at a place "Fifty Miles from Denver." West ern characters Introduced Into this last act tickled Sunday's audiences with thslr funny doings. A quintet of male votes produced so many encores that the matinee performance waa extended fully fifteen mtautss longer than schedule time. Bartesqee at the tiayety. Qua Kay and Al Herman of ths "Big Oa lsty Company" showed thslr ability to spring soms local Jests at ths Gaytty yes terday, which far exceeded the attempts of any ether burlesque eomedtans seen la Omaha sa far thla season. Both are evidently closs readers of the Sunday papers, for soma vary timely Jokee were sprung, one oa the new court houts bringing rounds of applause. Ths scans of ths fun sketch is lsld at a Florida health resort In which ths usual comedians fall In love and are found out The show, aa the whole, abounda with plenty of pretty girls, daaallng eeetunast, catch r musts and well arranged lighting effscts. Al Herman's peculiar laugh and his rendlttee of "Ragtlms Violin." ane of the new song hits, are the featurea, In the olio, the MaJasUe Musical Four hold the attention with everything from folk songs to ragtime oa instruments from a cornet to a bagpipe. Wllkam West and Beulah Benton give a eery artistic slngmg and dancing act as ths seoead part of the alio. ! ALBERT WOLTER EXECUTED Slayer of Kuth Wheeler Dies in Elec tric Chair at Sing Sing.
