DAVID BELASCO Presents
, ii. M A1 tA comcH In for some lltllo
f prominence in ono of Now
I 11 I York's newest plays, "A Itlch
BiMMui Mtin's Bon" written by
IWuUMI Jamea Korbea, who Is the
author of "The Chorus Lady,"
In which Hose Stnlil mado n tre
mendous hit. and "Tho Traveling- Bales
man," which waa one of the comedy sup
cease ii few years bade. The central
characters of "A lllch Man's Son" are tlio
Plummera of Omaha, Nebraska, U. 8. A.
Mr. Plummer, It Is Inforred from the ro
views written by tho New York critics
after the opening of tho play at tho IIor
rls theater, was tho head of somo InrKo
industry In Omaha, which business boinR
disposed of to the trust; the family
abandons tho metropolis of Nebraska and
goes down to New York to break Into
society, Mrs. Plummer, It seems, does not
fit In well with her surroundings and shy
at tho things the social set of Fifth nvi
nue does In the greatest of our cities.
Anyway aho longs to bo back in Omnha
In tho West Farnam district and to havo
her snug, cozy llttlo homo again.
Probably Mrs. Plummer la - not so dis
satisfied with Now York because of her
own position, but because her son Is trot
ting into ways of oUicr rich men's sons,
who blink their eyes at the lights of the
Great White Way. The boy goes tho pa.
Ho Is arrested for automobllo speeding
(that nukes him eligible to do other
things In and on Broadway); then he falls
In lovo with his father's secretary, mar
rying her in tho last act. Is it any won
der Mrs. Plummer wants to return to
Omaha, where tho son can marry In the
back yard If ho chooses?
Vvhen Martin Heck riiado arrangements
with Charles Frohman for the appear
anco of ICthel llarrymoro over the Or
t pheum circuit ho achieved u remarkable
triumph, for Miss llarrymoro vies with
Maudo Adams a"a the foremost American
actress. Mine Barrymore'a engagement
will last only twelvo weeks, however, and
nt tho end of that time aha returns to
tho legitimate stage. As soon as alio
reaches Chicago alio will road over a
manuscript of a ploy written by Hodden
Chambers, and If aho approves of the
production she will atar in it at once.
The majority of theatergoers are fa
miliar with Mlsa Uarrymore'n brilliant
career. She waa born In Philadelphia
and spent much of her childhood under
tho. care of her grandmother, Mrs. John
Dr.ew. She was graduated from tho 8a
cred Heart convent in ls9l and soon
afterwards went on tho stage. Her first
pluy was "The Uauble ffliop. After she
creatod tho rolo of Prlacllla In "itoso
maty." Miss liarryraore's namo meant
more than that aho was tho niece of a
famous uncle. In 1897 she went abroad
to Join Henry Irvlnga company and ap
peared with him in "Tho Bells" at tho
Memorial theater at Stratford-on-Avon.
Among Miss Barrymore'a greatest buc
cesnes are "Lady. Frederick," "Mia Chan
nel," "Sunday," "Alice Sit by the lire"
and "A Sllco of Life."
Miss Harrymore . la presenting "The
Twelve Pound Look" at the Orpticum' this
week.
Tuyjr Marshall, who is atarrlng this
season in "The Talker,", a now. play. by
Mari&n Fairfax will be seen' at. tho Boyd
theater November 26 for three nlghta.
"The Talker" la the, first .of a trlology
jf plays which Mlaa Fairfax has written,
The play deals with the race-old question,
tho ethical and economical adjustment of
the sexes, and showa the necessity of the
wife, to bo something more to her hus
band than merely a bromldlo character.
Mlsa Fairfax's other plays deal with
the dignity -of , labor, and that whatever
the man's calling may. be, whether, he Is
a dlKTKer of drains or An nrtfann In tmM
and silver, he Is entitled to careful con
sideration. The third play strikes Btltl
deeper, as it concerns those who are
starving- for human sympathy and affeo-
tlon.
i nquestlonably MUs Fairfax writes
with a more trenchant pen than must of
our preeent-day dramat'ata. Those who
have been fortunate enough to read her
works bare been surprised, with her
power and Imagination. Among all the
women dramatists none have shown tlx
remarkable skill for which Augustus
Thomas is famous, unless It is Marlon
Fairfax.
Theatergoers of this town have a treat
In store for'them thla week when Mooru
and Smith oomo to the Gayety with their
own big company of sixty fun furnishers
lu that fantastical musical whirl In two
big screams. "The Merry Whirl." Mooro
--id Smith have the distinction of being the
ut ir-atprs f the dance steps which they
"1 1
do In "Lead Mo to That Beautiful Band."
This aong has boon sung from coast to
coast. Among tho many big aong hits
duo special mention In tho show are,
"When You Walts With Me," "Tho Paris
Push," ning; tho Wedding Bells," "Ha
vana Bay," "The Mun With tho Money,"
and "Play, Play, Play." Tho company
comprises somo sixty members. Including.
tho famous silk-stocking chorus 'tliat was
the talk of Now York and Chicago. Sup
porting Mooro find Smith are such well
known favorite as Km II Dufault, Lillian
Fitzgerald, Mabel DcNord, Kddle Foley,
Bob Leonard and forty others. The en
gagement opcnB with today's matinee,
and starting tomorrow there wilt be a
ladles' d I mo matlnoe dally.
Tho woek starting today nt tho Ameri
can Hlppodromo will be known na "Qual
ity Week," nnd oven a casual glanco over
tho array of Hytono vaudeville booked
for your entertainment will both cosily
and quickly impress one that there will
bo no difficulty In substantiating the
claim. Tho bill will be topped by Whyte,
Pelzor and White, who give oasuronco of
offering Bomothlng different than la or
dinarily presented by travesty artists.
Tho two Nellos, than whom there ore no
more skillful manipulators pf odd ob
jects, will demonstrate their adroitness,
and Kllna aardner will oblige with n
pleasing series of songa and Imitations.
Purpoaely fori tho children, a clientele
which la being doveloped at tho rate of
from 200 to 600 "first-timers" each week,
tho management has booked Kurtla Ed
ucated Boosters, a flock of barnyard
Homeos that have been taught to perform
a routine of stunts not only funny, but
truly remarkable. For fun, patrons will
bo turned over to Logan and Ferris,
whose twelvc-mlnuto sketch, "Tho Two
War DogH." Is said to bo replete with
many a merry quip and Jest. As usual,
the Hlpposcopo, 'which long ago was con-
reded as presenting the best moving
pictures in Omaha, wilt offer the latest
Universal films, tho Universal Weekly,
which Is a pictured compendium of world
over happenings being displayed every
Wednesday nnd Thursday as an extra
feature. "A Daughter- of the "Redskins,"
will bo tho two-reel Bison feature film
subject all week.
"The lloso Maid" la ono example of the
Vlenneso operetta wllliout a prince for
Us central figure, liver since the Intro
duction of these imported musical enter
tainments princes havo played tho lead
ing roles. A Viennese opera without a
prince as tho hero Is something or a
novelty. But "The Koso Maid" not only
has no prince, but the princess In the
cast is not tho heroine. That honor Is' rc
served for the pathetic little rostyclrl who
triumphs over ull tho court ladles and
carries off tlio hero as her own sweet
heart. This latest success by tho pro
ducer of "The Spring Maid" is filled with
musical surprises. Its romance, its mualo
and its gay scenes oil combine to make
such a charming entertainment that it
ran through the entire summer on Broad
way, establishing a new record for light
operas In New York. "The Itwe Maid"
Is now booked for a brief engagement at
the Brandels on November 27 and 23, and
every music lover will have an oppor
tunity to enjoy the fascinating work
while its melodies are still new and be
fore they have been photographed and
nanaorganeu u ueatn on me street.
Using the insurgent movement in con-
gress as a background, William C. dsJjtarty will give a sketch called 'The
Mllle In "The Woman" has written
play full of gripping Interest, which
created a sensation In New York and
Chicago last season. The genius of Da
vid Belasco, the great master of tho
stage, has made the play one of tho
most interesting theatrical productions
In recent ytars The story is of intense
Interest, dealing with a theme of unusual
atiength, tho loyulty of woman to
woman. The characters aro iH r.eal
men and women and tho story, whllo
slmplo and straightforward, la full of
surprises, holding the Interest In a man
rfor unusual In modern dramas. To say
that the production la worthy of Mr.
Bclasco's genius Is to say nil that can
be said. Thla unusual play will bo an
early attraction at the Brandels theater
Tuesday evening, November 26, with a
powerful Belasco cast, Including James
Seoley, Hugh Dlllman, Marian Barnoy,
Hardee Klrkland, Howell Hansell, Hal-
lett Thompson, Homer Granville, Peter

tion ut Brandels theater, commencing
with a mutlnco today, for four days.
Tho piece will bo presented by Churles
EX Barton's far-famed "Smart Set" com
pany, with S. II. Dudley- In tho stellar
role. Dudley la a colored ntar of repu
tation and thla season' lila sponsors have
provided him with a ploy that should
more than help him to retain IiIh present
popularity. Tho cast la composed of
fifty people all well vcracd In the art
of terpslchore, music, harmony and fun
making propensities. Tho action la con
fined In three acts, with all tho scenes
laid In Buckrpe Beach, a- watering place
In Virginia. The production Is flrst-clasa
in every respect nnd should havo a
profitable engagement In town. Matinees
as usual.
All of tho desirable elements In high-
class burlesque will be presented at the
Krug theater for tho week commencing
with the usual mutlneo today by tho Guy
Wldowa company, an attraction that la
new from tho rise of tho curtain to the
drop at tho closo of the show. Two
farces, "A Night In a Cabaret" and 'The
General's Wife," constitute tho two parts
of tho show. "Heidelberg" Is led by Jo
seph Ilotello and "I ,'Wnnt You to See
My Girl," Max Bitter's specialty, la fol
lowed by tho Hitter-Foster trio of ccpen-
trld comediennes and dancers, and tho
cabaret bill will close with tno sensation
of tho two continents, the "Five Alac
rons." The second part is a one-act musl-
cal dopo dream constructed especially for
persons with "that tired feeling," In
which John Hart takes tho part of "Gen
ernl Dope" in a musical comedy entitled
"The General's
The appoaranco of Kthel llarrymoro at

soon as tho tickets wero placed on sale
