W, EL Chambers, Omaha's arbiter of
ths art terpsiohorean, struck a snag
Thursday night In the rehearsal of "The
Jolly Musketeer," when he objected to
one of tho dances as verging on ths
notorious "turkey trot"
Ths board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben
had witnessed ths danos a week before,
had decided It was not a "turkey trot."
that It was perfectly proper and had
christened It the "Lleben trot," In honor
ot Oscar Llcbcn, one of the principals in
the dance.
Mr. Chambers wss supposed to have
charge of ths chorus. When he said
things about the dance he and Oscar
nearly. went to ths mat and tho vocal
battle that ensued used up about ZZ
pages of Mr. Webster's dictionary.
Rather than havs the board of governors
called In to settle ths matter, however,

Mr, Lleben will havs entire charge of
his own dance, but will not attempt to
give Mr, Chambers suggestions on any
