trouble witli the business of
the theater Is too hastily pre-

inn many theaters. If the rase can bo
dtngnosed more accurately and In fewer
wn-ds. we would like to hear It. About
tin time Mr. Hrady wan thus setting forth
IiIf views of the case, Mr. Henry V.
Pa ago was giving utterance to the peri
od attack on the critics. According to
Mi . Savage, most of the manager'!
troubles arc due to the unfriendly nttl
tiule ;f the liHshlbazouks of the metro
pniitan press: Intelligent crltlclsnihe wel
cot ics. but not the varletv that Is .af
forded Perhaps his notion of an Intelli
gent criticism Is one that praises all' and
co-idennn nothing of the performance,
either play or players. Mr. Savage ought
to meet up with Mr. Brady and listen to
him for a time. It may allay his appre
hensions. In the meantime, the critics
of the country will very likely go right
nlong as they have for these many years,
writing about plays and players with -i

iels at one time. Daniels wbh one of tho
pioneers of that now numerous group
of actors who never give, an .Interview to
a newspaper, with the result that he was

Shaw has now adopted the expedient of

pirn for the deliberate purpose of win
ning public approval, they rnHy be e
prctnl to be Interrupted in the course
of tlicir deliverance by applause, whethe
fil timed, merited, or not. Every as-w-mhlage
of people at a theater contain
among Its number persons whose emo
tions are readily aroused, and these are
rrtain to give vent to their feelings, no

those who are responsible for the stlmu

Prank Daniels did.
I lie pasliig of the Vuughan Glaser
iers from the Boyd will be a matter
f tome little regret, for this organization
has shown unusual capacity for the work

company. Miss lang has long been
reckoned as an Omaha Institution, and
no amount of fame could ever iutc
loosen the hold she has on her friends
here. They aie always glad to heur of
her success, for they wish her well, and
yet most of ail they wish her here
That's why they will be glad to learn
she has suspended Ihm' tour for the pur
pose of coming to Omaha for u limited
engagement four weeks Is the time set
to play her own play and one or two
others. She will start her engagement
ntxt Sunday with 'Making a Man of
Illm," a drama with a purpose, and In
which she has a serious role. This will
be followed by "The (Jlrl with the Green
Stockings," that delightful comedy in
which Margaret Anglln was last seen
hero. Tho other plays have not yet
been decided on, but thev will be worth
while. Miss Lang's company will be one
she has been touring with; the stage will
be under the direction of O. D. Wood
ward, and the engagement will very
likely be a Joyous reunion.
"The link Lady," which Is to be pre- I
tented at tho Brandeis theater for four
days, commencing Sunday, Kobruary 2,
with matinee Wednesday, by Klnw and
Krlanger, Is described In general terms as
a musical comedy de luxe. That Bpt
phrase hits It off well enough In a meus
uro, but it Is really a play with mus:c In
thro" acts and ns many scenes. Its basic
story Is nn adaptation of the French
farce, "Le Satyre," which ran for a year
at the Palais Itoyalo in Paris beforo P.
M. S. McLellan made his book and lyrics
out of tbe theme and called the work
"TJhe Pink Lady." Then Ivan Caryll of
the. Gaiety theater made a score which
not only fits the story, but aids It In its
natural progressions. The combined ef
fort Is the last word in American musi
cal remedy and It represents a delight
ful story, humorously outlined and en
hanced bv a score of captivating quali
ties Of thee songs "My Beautiful Lady '
Is the hort known, but there are seven
teen others, which serv to Increase the,
popularity of "The Pink Lady." The com
pany now appearing here is precisely the
same that has been Interpreting this de.

David Belasco presents "The Concert,"
one of this and last reason's most bril
liant attractions, at tho Brandeis theater
for three performance, beginning Friday
night. "Tho Concert" Is a masterpiece
of comedy, staged and presented under

genius of the play. Mr. Dltrlchsteln
adapted the comedy for the American
stage. Mr. Belasco has surrounded him
with an excellent cast, the chief woman
player being Isabel Irving. i
One of the most gorgeous productions I
that has ever been seen on the American
stage comes to the Brandeis for four
nights, beginning next Sunday, when 1
Kitty Gordon will appear In "Tho Hn
ohantress," widely proclaimed as Victor J
Herbert's masterpiece. Over 160,000 was
spent on the production before It opened :
at the New York theater for a run of Ave
months. Mr. Galtes has spared nothing
to make It the most brilliant production
of his career in the. choice of the ex
ceptional cast, and tho famous beauty
singing chorus.
Jesse L. Lasky's "California." an i
American operettu will bo the principal
feature of the bill at the Orphnuni this
week. The piece Is the work uf t'ccll

road company and, of course, all the na
tives are up in arms against such an In
trusion Them Is great excitement ex
pressed nralh- and dramatically, hut the
play has a hhppy ending, for the manager
of the railroad decided to run IiIh road
aioiiud the mission Instead of through It.
t'hnrles and Funny Van, assisted by 11
capable company will introduce a clever
sketch entitled "From ritage Parpenter
to Ackter." Mr. Van as the loquacious
stage carpenter has won lasting fame and
Miss Van lias made a general hit a the
Indignant soubintte. Ilcrry B. Lester will
give a series of Impersonations of stage
stais. "The Window of Apparitions"
will be the mysterious feature of the bill.
This act will offer many feats In muglc.
Ball and West, original entertainers, will
furnish nn art full o'f delightful surprises.
The Threo Hremens will give a perfor
mance called "The Imps of the Play
ground." which is a thrilling spectacle
on unsupported ladders. The Itolandow
Brothers, expert hand balancers, give an
act that is truly astonishing.
There Is scarcely a' more popular come
dian than Blll Arlington, the "Laughing
Hobo." who has the principal comedy rolo
with the "Golden Crook" Extravaganza
company, which will bo tho offering at
