I A B tertalnmiMit nt tlio tlie
I 1 atcr which has s&thcred to
Ii I It tho support of a numerous
U5ftFfcl body of peoplo who llko to
LyTOKJ laugh and not to think when
they ko to the theater. In the evolution
of the amusement world no branch of
It has shown such remarkable Improve
ment as nan the burlesquo business. It Is
not so many years ago that peoplq looked
on a burlesque as something to be spoken
of In whispers, and tho men who patron
ized It wero thought to bo on tho rood
to perdition. It la true that the old stylo
of burlesquo was a raw production. It
catered to tho lowest Instincts In men
and Its general tone was degrading. All
that Is changed now.
The men who produce burlesque havo
come to realize that there Is a large
audience waiting for tho clean show and
the production of good taste. Tho Colum
bia Amusement company haB been re
sponsible for attracting to Its theaters
un entirely new class of playgoers and
giving people something to laugh at that
Is not Insulting to their sense of decency.
ThlH company Instructs its local man
agers to watch each show that opens and
order cut from the lines or action any
thing that would offend.
Of course, burlesquo 1b not catering to
a highbrow taste and the laughs come
from situations that appeal to everyday
people, but there, is no more to offend
In the average burlesque as we see It
at tho dayety In Omaha than would be
found In' the 2 musical comedy with
f&mouu stars and a cultured audience.
There are some clever peoplo In this
work. Strangely .most of tho real talent
teems to bq In the male part of tho show,
The women are mostly content to look
well and- sing a song. Hut there are
Dnvo Marlon, Pete Curley, Abe Reynolds
and Dan Coleman,, who can give you as
hearty a laugh ns can Sam Uernard or
Veber and Fields. These burlesque com
edlnns aro all "Daves" or "Dans," Just
as In the Weberfleld days. Warflcld was
"Dave Warfleld." And, speaking of tho
creator of "Peter Grim," the burlesque
fle)d , was the Incubator of tho now fa
mous Dave Warflcld, of Joe Weber and
Lew Fields and Sam Uernard.
Nowadays the Gayety attracts many
women wholesome, self-respecting
women who want a good laugh and are
not afraid that they will be declassed
by going to a burlesque show. Perhaps
the matter of getting the women to' come
to a burlesquo. show has had much to do
with cleaning It up. for It Is true that
women will not tolerate anvthlng In the
playhouse that savors of Indecency. What
ever the reason? burlesque has earned Its
new audience and Us success by rising
to the situation and reforming Itself. The
Oayety, because of Us Incessant fight for
clean shows, and the admirable result of
Its policy, Is entitled to pass up the word
"burlesque" and In Its place use the
better word, ''extravaganza." Cleanli
ness has made the lady patronago at all
performances an Immense Item.

With Ita organization of a year ago
little changed, the Aborn English Grand
Opera company returns for Its annual
engagement beginning tonight- at Boyd's
theater, where It will give seven dif
ferent operaa during the week. Tho or

conductor, with a larger chorus and or
chestra than formerly, and elaborate pro
ductions for the seven operas of their
repertoire
They wilt present Offenbach's fantastic
opera comlquo, "The Tales of Hoffmann"
Sunday night and Wednesday afternoon;
Glacomo Puccini's "Madam Butterfly"
will be the offering Monday night; a
second Puccini ploce, "La Boheme," Is
scheduled for Wednesday night; Verdi's
"II Trovatore" ' will be the Tuesday and
Saturday night bill; Donizetti's "Lucia
dl Lammermoor" Is to bo given Thursday
night; Wagner's "Lohengrin" will bo the
Friday night program, and I lumper
dlnck'n fairy opera, "Hansel and Gretel"
lo the selection for tho Saturday matinee.
"The Tales of Hoffmann" and "Madam
Butterfly" wero given finely by this
company on Its last appearance here, and
will bo repeated with tho same staging
and equipment. "La Boheme," which in
Europe, is Just as popular as tho same
composer's "Butterfly" and much more
melodious, has been heard but a couple of
times here. Tho two familiar works by
Donizetti and "Verdi havo been given here
a number of times, and are repeated on
account of their unfailing drawing power.
"Lohengrin" is not unknown, but has
been heard hero but little, and so is a
wolcomo revival. "Hansel and Gretel"
has never before been given In English
here, and Is consequently a novel featuro
Of the Aborn repertoire, scheduled for
Saturday afternoon' on account of Its
strong attraction for children an well as
for advanced musicians.
"The Fortune Hunter," which comes to
the Brandels theater at a matinee today
for four days, Is replete with no lesi than
t three pairs of lovely lovers all In various
stages of love's throes. There Is a very
pertinent and ttmely Idea In the story.
It has to do with the superfluity of
i young men who know how to do every
thing but make money, The cities aro
' overflowing with people anxious to
get married, but they are afraid they
; cannot make both ends most. The de
spised country town Is the solution of the
I problem. There are always more girls
than young men In-these places and some
of them have more money than they
need, so go there and marry one of these
girls. They are pretty and good an!
with the money, and what morn have yoil
'any right to asj.
In presenting Donald Brian as the star
of that dainty and delightful romantic
oDeretta. "The Siren." at the Brandols
j theater on Friday and Saturday evenings.
with a matinee on Saturday, Charles
Frohman has been very fortunate to re

penchant for writing humorous verso.

and gets Into trouble for writing things
considered highly seditious by the em
