the cursory review that followed the per

the matter Is pondered upon, the inoro
does the opinion grow that the horse that
tried to kick the econery to pieces at tlio
eloee of the first act was Inspired by al
most human Intelligence. He was at least

Messrs. A born used as much In their own

casions reirrct that the Kllrabothan era
has not been extended to these days In

Bembrlch, Caruso, and others singing; at

With beauUful and costly stage setting,
one looks for something uncommonly
ood In the way of actlns. singing or
whatever Is to bo displayed. Here .ho
hope, waa certainly broken; the word of
promise was forgotten. One does not like
to set out upon a categorical exhibition
of the faulU of the performance, for they
yr too many. The great fault Is, perhaps,
the utter Inability or tho principals, with
the single exception of Florian. who nad

In the line of acting were painfully ama

Omaha singers for their organizations.
Adeline Oenee, tlio Danish senlus of

next Thursday evening, commenced to

she took a really big part at tho Iloyal

was followed by a stay In Copenhagen
which gained the plaudits of the royalty
of several nations, Including tho late
Klnr Edward. Mile. Oenee came to Amer

title, "queen of the dance," remains un

popular In London, from where she came
to open her American tour with n. Arhui
at the Metropolitan opera houso, Now

would do thlsT While tho show was. In
'-Toledo, O., Miss Williams made a trio
to one of the big factory plants; there
about 8,099 people are employed, and at
the noon hour, while the men were at
lunch, mounted the seat of an automo
bile and guthered a crowd of about 3,000
around nor and made a speech In, the In
terest of Iter attraction. She also makes
a speech at tho conclusion of each per
formance, thanking those present for
their' attendance, concluding with, (to
quote Mollle), "If you llko the show I
want you to tell your friends. If you
do not like it, go out and Knock It." If
this Is not going after business 'with a
vengeance, nothing Is, and Max Spiegel
la to be complimented for having the
management of such a wonderful woman.
"The moat famous cartoon comedy
production extant," Is pretty strong
phraseology, hut If you follow the career
of "Mutt'Hd Jeff" from Its Inception,
you'll agree that there Is no i.lirase nt
tho Knsllsh luncuacn too stronr in

secured the playrlghtn, few people fore
saw the tremendous success to bo
achieved. Four companies of forty-flvo
people each are now playing the rJece In
the four corners of the t'nltrdStatrs.
and all are playing not only to capacity
business, but are creating records In
every theater In whfety they appear. The
entertainment offered Is giving satisfac
tionmuch s naturfally expected from
so famous a theme. "Gules of laughter,"
"shrieks of merriment" 'begin with, tho
first appearanco of , these two funny
fellows and continues, throughout the
two and one-half hours of hilarious fun.
"Mutt and Jeff" will 'make a; personal
visit to the Brandels' theater for an en
gagement of threo nights,' beginning Sun
day matlnen. A carload. of magnificent
scenery constructed to please tho eyo
embellishes the general effect. A bovy
of unusually pretty girls, without whlclf

very much In evidence, " '
