"The I.ittlcl Iteltvi" an mo liniii- ileln, "The Littlest Kobe!," a play In four acts. by LUward Peple: under the direction of Al H. Woods. The cast: Lieutenant Colonel Morrison. United States cavalry Judson Langlll The General, United States army Hugh Jcffry Forbes, his adjutant Charles Gasklll Lieutenant Harris. Morrison's aid Bernard Kane Sergeant Dudley of Morrison's coni- mand r James Telfer Corporal Dudley, his brother . George L.

Helen Bcott Virgie, Ids child viola Savoy Uncle Billy, a slave Martin Reagan Sally Ann, a nurse Lotta M. Savoy Jecms-Henry, a "runaway", .Ed Stephens "The Littlest Rebal'' is the chronicle of events of two months in the life of a little girl whose home was between the kllnes of the two armies before Richmond In the spring of 1864. After seeing It, one Is more than over Inclined to agree with General Sherman In his estimate of war. In the first act the home of the little girl Is raided and burned; in the second act we are apprised of the fact that her mother has died of hunger and privation, and that her daddy la sought as a spy, and captured, too; but he falls Into the hands of a federal officer who also has a-little daughter at 'home, and who sets father and daughter on their way to Richmond: In, the third act father and daughter are again captured, and the of ficer who sought to help them Is taken to face a court-martial, where he Is sen tenced to be shot. The fourth act Is do voted to convincing General Grant that sometimes sentiment is a good thing In connection with war; the federal officer is restored to his rank and command, and the littlest rebel and her daddy are sent "on to Richmond." A wealtli of melodramatic material ex ists In this arrangement, most of which has been effectively used .in, connection with the play, to the end that the hor rors of warfare are vividly brought out the tilings that are not referred to In connection with the carnage of battle. It Is tho sufferings of the 'women and chil dren, the Innocent ones who cannot In the nature of things avert the disaster that wrecks their lives. If anything could add to the horror of tho thought. It Is the manner in which the material has bnen handled. It has been prepared and staged on tho Al II. Woods basis, which means that nothing has been sparest that will accentuate the suffering of the hero ine up to the very last minute of the play's action. A little comedy Is thrown Into high relief in the opening act, but from the time the curtain goes down on that to the very end it is tragio In the extreme, saved from becoming utter pathos by the artlessness of the little girl on whom the whole fabric of the play depends. Tho present company Introduces to Omaha another of the Farnum family of actors, Mr. Marshall Farnum, who com pares very favorably with his better known brothers, Dustlrr and William. Mr. Langlll shares with Mr. Farnum In the heroics of the piece and docs a dif ficult part well. Mr. Reagan adds a nice bit of character acting as Uncle Billy, the faithful slave. Viola Savoy, in the name part, Is a really charming little girl, entirely devoid pt self-consclousnoM and entering Into the spirit of her role with all a child's adaptability for make believe. She la sincere In her play In the first act, and equally sincere in her more serious work in the remainder of the play. Miss Scott is so very gracious and charming as the mother that the neces slty for her taking off is all tho more regrettable. The action of the play re quires much going to and fro of armed men, and a decidedly realistic clash at the close of the third act, where much powder Is burned in simulation of a battle. Girls' at the Iloyd. "Girls," one of the late efforts of Clyde Fitch, Is 'one of those little comedies that Is a source of pleasure for persons who ask to bo amused. It's extremely flimsy; yet it' Is considered good comedy good because It pleases. The Glasers, who gavo it a presentation at tho Boyd last evening, do practically all the parts as well as they can be done. Charles Mac kay. William D. Corbett, Martin Wood worth, Miss Lillian Campbell and Miss Grace Goodall members of the stock company, who have won many friends during their stay in Omaha all appear, and they do well, but .have to meet no such exactions as were required of them in the other plays whtch they have given In Omaha, and their qualities as players can not be rightly Judged by the work In "Girls," though the playing of each of these people In of very excellent order. ; forming, all together, a strong line of .acting and giving the patrons of the home their full money's worth of pure and light comedy. Last evening's audi- t ence wan exceedingly well pleased with 'the entertainment, and applauded fro-1 THK KK: Wrong Hat , . MTmils-AUheprfhcxxm quently and entlninlastlcally. The house was packed nil it Is likely to be during the rest of the week. Miss Kcmblc wns especially brilliant Jost evening In- tho role of Pamela Gordon. Mr. .Mnckay made an Impressive Junior partner. Mr. Corbett was a pleasure. Tho play Is well staged, each detail of tho settings being deftly and nicely arranged. Vumlevllle at the Orphenm. Tho-entire bill which opened at the Or pheum Sunday afternoon might bo called a headllner, as each net was well dcicrv Ing of tho hearty applause which followed the numbers as they wero presented. It is truly a holiday bill, the Jokes nre new, tho songs funny and stunts all combine to make It one of tho best bills seen In vaudeville. Tho appearance of Mae Mclvtllo and Robert Hlgglns with his "hat" nnd the repeated command to "let It lay" from Miss Melville, who Is prettier than ever, confirms tho statement that that number can bo termed a "headllner." While they havo both visited Omaha on tho Or phenm Ptago before their Jokes and songs have not. Nnt M. Wills, who appears on this bill, confirms the statement again that the entlro bill Is a headllner, for tho only things which ure old about the act of Mr. Wills are. his clothes. "The Suffragette," a sketch presented by Franklyn Ardell nnd Marflo Walters, Is not only one of the funniest of Its kind, but one of tho best, and to all who are Interested In the woman's suffrage movement, a rare treat of fun may bo enjoyed from this sketch. The characters are a man and his wifo who aro both running for tho office, of niuyor. Miss Mary Elizabeth, who Is not only pretty, but has a very good voice, sings her songs In a most pleasing wuy. Frederick Haw ley presents the pIuyc.t,"Tho Bandit," and Is assisted by Miss Francis Halght und W. E. Howes. Somo very good work Is done by Mr. Hawley, who plays tho part of the bandit and the sketch Is most exciting. Tho bill opens with "A Night on Crocodile Isle," with the Altken-Whlt-man trio taking the parts of frogs, doing all sorts of acrobatic stunts. The "Ani mated Toyshop," which Is presented by Leonard Gautler, is very cleverly enacted by several intelligent ponies and dogs.
