Sam Howe's "Love Makers"
When Sam Howe's Lots Makers come
to the Oayetty theatre the week of
September 29, it Is not at all unlikely
tbat patrons ol that house will get the
Impression that they are In the wrong
place . For, according to advance an
nouncements, the popular Hebrew come
dian has this season gone the limit In
providing a show that will measure up
with the best standards set in the higher
price theaters in the country. Mr. Howe
has had an entirely new travesty writ
ten, which he calls "The Marriage Car
nival,", and he is said to have produced
It with live superb sets of scenery of
the kind that has hitherto been seen
oDly In the big Broadway productions
of musical comedy. Moreover, the cos
tuming of the show Is described as the
limit in expensive finery and to Include
gowns of every known country, from
the dignified train to the chic, saucy
apparel of the boulevards In Paris:
Among the other Bplendld scenes, there
is one that represents the harem In the

1 A good show Is always looked for
iwben Clark's Runaway Oirls Is an
nounced at the popular dayety theatre.
This company with a lot of new up-to-date
ideas will be here this coming
woek. Tills staaon Manager Clark
claims to have the newest, freshest, most
Artistically and thoroughly equipped ex
travagance1 organisation on the road.
He backs his claim and arrests the pub
tolo attention by presenting an original
musical comedy in two acts, the "Maid
'of Montesuma,". It is said that the
show has more laughs thart any other,
popular price musical attraction on the
I road. There Is no time lost in meaning
less dialogue and Instead there Is a rapid
succession of funny scenes which keeps
the audience In a constant uproar. The
chorus numbers twenty-flvs ladies well
trained after the manner of the rollick-
ling Broadway SS;ow Girls. The chorus
iof the Runaway Girls is conceded to be
the best' ever seen out of Greater New
Tork. The production , Is most elabo
rate and one of the best ever given
jby the Runaway Oirls, as Mr. Clark hs
.Introduced some new ideas In electrical
ieffects and the scenlo mounting Is out
,of the ordinary. This comedy , caste Is
'headed by the Burke Brothora. Charley
and John. Don't you remember how funny
they were? Haven't seen them for
ten yearsT That's right. They'vs been
playing the vaudeville theaters sepa
rately, but they're together again this

tion. Mr. Cooper ("a coupla thou"), who
is the star of the organization, Is tho
roughly well known through the work he
has dona In the Jersey Lilies company
In pant sca-Tona, and It Is said that In
the now show Mr.
Cooper Is funnier
than ever before.
He retains the
character of Gus
Oroutch, but It has
been entirely re
written for the new
play. Throughout
the two acts , of
"The' Blue Rose"
there are said to be
Innumerable scenes
and situations that
are Irresistibly fun-
,ny, and the musi
cal numbers, which
are original compo
sitions, are de
scribed a being in
keeping with the
traditions of the
musical stage, which Insures plenty of
lively music of the kind that is so popu
lar nowadays. Mr. Cooper has surrounded
himself with such well known performers
as Luola .Cooper, Leslie Claire, Dolly
Webb, Lottie Blackford, Tom McRae, Rob
ert Algter, Billy Walsh and Frank Lynch,
and these talented entertainers also ap
pear in an attractive x and diversified
vaudeville bill. Walsh, Lynch ft Co, will
be seen In their famous act called "Huok
Ins Run," In which they have been emi
nently successful In all ot the larga
vaudeville houses of the country. James"
B. (Blutch) Cooper and Lucia Cooper will
contribute their well known and highly
amusing skit, "The Misfit Postman," and
the Webb sisters will appear In a charm
ing singing and planologus specialty.
Others In the organisation have effeotive
parts to play, and there is a large care
fully chosen chorus of twenty-four pretty
girls. From descriptions that have pre
ceded this show it may be taken for
granted that a performance of unusual
merit and enjoyment may be anticipated,
A feature popular with the women of
Omaha will be the dime matinee every
week day.
, f Al Reeves
1 Al Reeves' "Big Beauty Show" comes
to the popular Gayety theater week be
ginning Sunday, September 1. Mr. Reeves
always baa succeeded In presenting an
entertainment of , an unusually higlworder,
and according to the present season's
announcements he has apparently ex
celled any of bis previous efforts. , Ills
company Is undoubtedly the best that
:be has ever bad, including, as It does,
such well-known people as Andy Lewis, a
comedian of splendid abilities, who for
several seasons was at the head of his
own organisation and whose popularity is
almost as great as tbat of Reeves him
self; George Scott, who hss a fins record
of successes to bis credit baa been iden
, titled with some ot the most Important
productions that have been mads In this
country; Zelia Russell, the beautiful piano
soloist; Annetta, a graceful toe dancer
and all around clever vocalist and per
former, Lucille Mannlon and Blanche
Martin, who are firmly established among
th best leading women in extravagansa.
Al Reeves Is a host in himself, but when
he oomes surrounded with such an organ
isation of genuinely talented entertainers.
a performance of rare enjoyment may
confidently be looked forward to. Mr.
i Beeves has always made a special point
j of securing an extraordinary assemblage
of pretty girls for bis chorus and dancing
. ballet and In this particular be Is said
to have excelled bis best previous efforts
In this respect This forecast ot Mr.
ifieevet' offering Is a dear Indication of
.the efforts which he baa and Is making
,to improve the tone of this form ot en-
itertalnment so that It may appeal to all
.classes of theater goers, and the forth
coming performance will be watched with
i all the more Interest on tbat account
iThe "Four American Belles" will be a
,blg added feature. This act created a
.furore In Europe. Sisters De Graff will
,be seen In a new specialty. There will be
,a holiday matinee on Labor day and a
.ladles' 'dime matinee each week day
, thereafter.

famous "Knickerbockers." This season
this superlative organization comes to
Omaha for the week starting Sunday
matinee, September 23, the initial week
of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, and with
so good a show in Omaha that week as
Is the Roble company,, it will cause that
week to be even more enjoyable than
customary and should do much toward
Increasing the enjoyment ot Omaha's
visitors.
That surpassing comedian, Roger Imhof,
whose "Casey, the Piper" is a veritable
Celtic classic, la still with the Knicker
bocker Another always acceptable en
tertainer Is John E. Cain, who will be-
seen as "The Goekwar of Caroda" In the
travesty to be presented by this admir
able organization. Mr. Roble has always
prided himself on the feminine contingent
of his attraction and by no means will
this season be an exception to his In
variable rule. He has secured a beauty
chorus o freal beauties. Still another
feature will be the original Lingerie
girls from the Theater Marlgny, Paris,
whose dancing wll be found to be the
Ideal of grace and posture. Earl Flynn,
Nettle McLaughlin, Max Fahrman, Mar-
celle .Ooreene and Gertrude Lynch are
among the principals who have Important
roles to portray during the action of the
travesty to be presented. Each day dur
ing the engagement there will be a ladles'
dime matinee. '

The Trocaderos
"The t Dukes," .a Merry Milltaire
Musicals satire comes to the popular
Gayety week of September 15. Manager
Charles H. Waldron has set a pace this
season with bis hew Trocadero company,
whlcfc will make merry going for all
those Tianageri who wish to breast the
tape with him in the race for popularity
in the' extravaganza field. He has
a sure winner in the Trocaderos
and patrons of the Gayety theater may
anticipate one ot the greatest treats In
the shape of a musical entertainment
ever presented at popular prices. Man
ager Waldron has simply transported
an entertainment to the stage, whioh
Is In every way eligible for presentation
before the most critical high class audi
ences in the oountry. The words ','Bur
lesque Show" cannot be applied In their
accepted sense to this magnificent en-
tertalnmrttt, which Mr. Waldron will
give to the publlo at the popular prices.
It Is a 13.00 show on the Gayety circuit
and Is bound to create a sensation
wherever It appears. It has all tbe merit
necessary to Insure its success. The
travesty Is not of a slap-stick, horse
play, "ad Mb" style of skit tor years
foisted on patrons: It Is a musical com
edy with good plot, charming story,
laughable situations, comedy Incidents,
jingling musio, dainty girls, and all the
accessories and settings that go to make
stage pictures at all times Interesting
and entertaining. No detail baa been
slighted. A glance at the names of the
principals alone shows the character
of the company: Frank Finney, Bam J
Adams, Minnie Burke, Norlne Holmes,
Murray J. Simons, John P. Grlffltth,
Edith Shaw, Elsie Leslie, George Bren
i, Harry Mantell, Camilla Folardeaux,
Corlnne Ford, and the famous Boston
Beauty Chorus. There will be a ladles'
dime matinee every week day.

palace of the Khedive of Egypt This
sumptuous apartment concerning which
so much has been written, is said to
have been reproduced with remarkable
fidelity by Mr. Howe, actual photographs
of the plaoa having been used by the
naifitM in Vii nrV nf FADroduction. The
those who have seen It Includes every
detail of decoration that is In the or
iginal with all ot Its Oriental splendor,
Including the dim lights, tbe heavy tap
estries and draperies, the massive couches
and the rare exotics that are placed
around In profusion. Another scene Is
a perfect replica ot a famous cafe In
Paris with a lively cabaret show going
on. Mr. Howe is said to nave tne nest
part that he has ever played. It Is that
of a rich Hebrew who has married a
celebrated French actress who cares only
for his money. She has several "affairs"
with other men and it is on account of
these that Iky TJmsky encounters all
sorts of difficulties, Intensely serious to
him, but highly amusing to the spec
tators. Miss Florence Bennett plays the
actress and this charming , comedienne
is said to shine more brilliantly in this
character than In anything that she has
hitherto done. There are many other
widely known comedians and singers in
the cast and a genuine "beauty chorus"
ot twenty-four exceedingly vivacious
girls. Among the former may be men
tioned Vera Desmond, Stefl Anderson,
Bessie Rosa, Harry Prescott Fred Nolan,
Albert Marks, Billy Arlington and But
ler Mandevllle. There will be a ladies'
dime matinee every week day. On par
ade days and nights the performance
will start after the parades have passed
the popular Gayety.

Chas, Robinson's Crusoe Girls
,flM ? V 2 4 & a..: ,..'V'-.-i 5'
That'Manager Charles Robinson of the1
"Crusoe Girls" company, which Is to
be the attraction at the popular Gayety
theater week of October with the cus-
ca's foremost com-
inces, does not do
things by halves is
evident from the
fact that this sea
son as In the past
he has surrounded
bimself with tbe
best talent avail
able. He is sup
rounded by a cast
called :' from the
cream of vaudeville
and musical com
edy and the salary
list looms up tn
conspicuous figures.
In addition to Mr.
Robinson, wtoo him
self Is . recognised
tomary dally mat
es one of Amert-
edlans, the production can boast of
the services et James Francis Bulllven,
late star of the "Prince of Pllsen" com
pany; Ltbby Blondell, undisputed queen
of extravagansa;
Manny and Faloo,
audevllle beadlin-
ers; Frankle Mar
tin, known famil
iarly as the "Cab
aret Doll Sou
brstte"; Davs Rose,
the Italian jester;
May Bernhardt
pocket edltolon of
Eva Tanguay, and
Freda Lehr, "The
Girl with tbe
Golden Vajce." Two
capital satires are
offered, namely,
"In H 1 S Son's
Place," and "Cob en
and tbe Oay
Widow."
Some time ago
prediction was made
tbat extravagansa, as offered by mana
gers ot the present day was on the decline.
There seemed to be some; ground for
this Impression in view ot the poor shows
presented, but the line of comparison
was apparently only confined to the in
ferior productions' where vulgarity and
horseplay formed the only redeeming
features. Vlsijtors to the "Crusoe Girls"
entertainment will be given an oppor
tunity to see tor themselves Just what
a good show, modelled after the style
of performance given by Lydia Thomp
son, really la The company ' is com
posed of fifty talented people Including
a champion beauty chorus of twenty-five
captivating damsels. Mr. Robinson Is
still the leading comedian and bis ef
forts to gather the best supporting cast
In the circuit has been rewarded- In ample
fashion. Two travesties, pretentious and
tunny enough to pass muster even "on
Broadway, and entitled, 'In Hla Son's
Place", and "Cohen and the Gay
Widow", respectively, will be presented.
The pieces move at a lively rate of speed
