Rut It turned out that cno of the lettsrs

has maio a comedy that is Intensely In
teresting, because it la human In its
eve-y aspect and witty and bright and
clever and funny. Miss Lang wilt have
the role In which Margaret Anglln has
starred for tho last three reasons, and
will find in It much to her llklnff. The
ntltera In tho company will be well placed.
The first performance will bo at the
matinee this afternoon and the bill will
run all week with other matinees on
Wedncslay and Saturday afternoons.
Tho Orpheum road show is scheduled to
be at the Orpheum the week of March !.
This aeaann llartln Deck has planned a
Breatcr treat than ever before. The
special feature of the bill will bo Mils
Naplerkowska tho famous Polish dancer,
who Is considered tho foremost choreo
graphic dAncer of her time. This claim
Is substantiated by her repeated success
at the Paris opera. Metropolitan opera
and Grand opera at St. Petersburg and
Moscow. Slgnor Travnto will furnish an
art that will bo hard to surpass. It will
consist of eccentric violin playing. The
other features of tho program will b
prrporteil by Oallaway, Kauffman & Co.,
Kobker's Whirlwind Arabs, Ben Linn,
Wilton and Wilson, and Median's Dogs.
The American Hippodrome, on Douglas

bv Ivowls & Evana, who will present a
irclango of Impersonations; for the kid
lets, a special entertainment of Swain's
flook of cockatoos gorgeous hued birds
from the tropcls in a unique minstrel
first part to be presented by Russell's
Beven Colonial minstrels. Two pretty
girls the Lillian sisters said to be adepts
on violin and piano, are listed for their
contribution, as Is Jack Burdette, who, as
a jolcologlst, takes the trouble to make
everybody understand his wlttlolsms by
some rapid cartooning and the lnlmltablq
comedienne, Sadie Sherman, will at eaoh
performance offer her sorles of "Photo
Types." An unusually fine display has
been arranged for tho Hlpposcope. As Is
customary "Tho Universal Weekly"
showing events In all parts of the world
will be an added featuro on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Shown start at
7 and 9 each evening, a dally matinee
being continuously from 2 to 5 p. m.
.Saturday and Sunday afternoons two
complete performances are given start
ing at 1 and 3 p. m.
Hero comes Bob, Manchester's Famous
Cracker Jacks for a week's stay, opening
this afternoon at the Oeyety, and it
brings more pretty girts, more comedians,
finer costumes and prettier scenery thnn
any llko company traveling. The com
pany is headed by the two well known
travesty stars. Ruby LeonI, the Model
Vonus, and Beatrice Harlowe, tho lyrlo
queen. The first part 1b entitled "A
Gat den of A-ffinltles," which brings to
tho fore such comedians as Johnny Jess
Dan Klley, James Coglan. Harrison Mack
and William Slsto. There are twenty
four pretty girls who will certainly enter
tain. Tho olio has the Missouri Magnet.
' Beatrice Harlowe, In a novel and artlstlo
melange; Coglan & Mack. In military
tactics; N'lblo & RIloy, the black fac
duo and William Sleto & Co.. the great
Italian In "His First Speech." The clos
ing skit. "The Model and Girl," is o
corker and offers many surprises of
novelty and brings out the entire cast of
the company. Ladles' dime matinee dally,
starting tomorrow.
A distinctly dlKerent'show, Sim Will
lams' "Girls from Joyland," will be the
Krug theater's offering for the week
commencing with the usual Sunday
matinee. While the company title Is a
now one. It contains many favorltlei
known to burlesque, the foremost of
which Is Harry I Cooper, the "Original
Happy Heinle;" Fred Bulla, Eugene
West. Harry Gray. Ulllan Raymond,
Mmlly Nice and a chorus of twenty-five
beauties In musical numbers. First and
second ports called, respectively. "Flirt
lng Flora" and "The Rich Happy Heinle,'
were written in i.ir. Cooper's happiest
moments. In the olio the heavily adver
tised "Blanohe" gives much scopo to the
Imagination and is the general topic o'
conversation after tho show. Fred Bulla
and Harry Gray, who call themselves the
"Folly Jolly Boys." offer a run of clover
nonsensical talk, and Emily Nice, the
sweet chlo little soubrette, will sing songr
of thi period. Friday night as usual will
bo Country store night.
A very strong program has been ar
ranged for the Empress next week. It
la to bo headed by Molbourno MacDowell.
who lakes the leading part in a sketch
tiled "The Sheriff and the Widow." Mr
MacDowell will be remembered by
;maha. The sketch which he Is produc
ing how Is said to be one of the cleverest
comedies ha has ever appeared in. Mis
iFubclle Evesson Is his main support in
tho sketch. Another feature act is
Marion's models giving "reproductions of
famous paintings." The act Includes five
eople and some of the world's most fam
ous pieces of art axe portrayed without
a detail lacking. Mabel Harper, the
eccentric comedienne, will appear with
new material and songs. Davis & Allen
:he "Dialogue Duo," will offer some very
lever up-to-the-minute banter and do
s ime new tricks in the way of dancing
1 he regular Monday feature photo play
I be offered. It Is called "The Lost
t-'o:." and tells of the battles of &
respectable lad when he Is thrown Into
the world to fight for himself and hi
family.
The month of March holds two concerts
of particular importance, each presenting
artlBts who bear the title of "world's
greatest" In their respective and diverg
ent fields. On the afternoon of March
13 Mme. Julia Culp, mezzo-soprft.no, cele
brated Dutch lleder singer, will be heard
In roottal at the Brandels theater In th
lost of Miss Hopper's series of subscrip
tion concerts. Mme. Culp has been re
ceiving the unrestricted praise of
Europe's eminent critics for some sea
sons past and her first American tour
has been but a confirmation. New York
has been lavish in Its tributes of the
throe rocttals already given. Aside from
Mine. Culp's uplifting and remarkabl)
interpretations, she has a magnificent
voice, beautifully cultivated and wonder
fully controlled.
Mme. Culp will be assisted at the piano
by Conrad V. Bos, tho eminent artist
remembered In company with Dr. Wull
ner. Eugene Ysayo, the great Belgian vio
Rebukes the Knockers
Strange, Indeed, Is It to see that so
many, many of the foreign element In
drama and light opera, who como to
American soil to earn their bread and
butter and a life of modern ease, which,
the meager salary In their country would
not permit of, should entertain the Idea
that In order to expound their marvelous
talents and gain a little newspaper
notoriety and explode their artistic tem
peraments, must take a long weary sigh.
recline with arms, beautiful arms, folded
to the back of their coy heads and
sigh "alas," how tho American woman
with her high, thin monotonous voice, her
'frivolous mind' do annoy me."
They do not stop at our voices and
brains, but out talk and the manner In
which we use our mouths also suffer.
In fact, we are altogether disagreeable
to them. I often wnnder if they, poor
things, ever realize that the American
women grow weary of their choppy
eternal self praise. But, no, poor, blind
mortals, they can see only thelrselves I
think some European subjects should be
awarded medals as the champion knook
ers on American women.
In the first place, If America and
American women are so distasteful to
the foreign actors or prima donna, why
do they come here? Easy to explain.
They know we are not bred so dull but
we can accumulate that much envied
coin. And. too, they know we will spend
it. In other words, the American men
and women are not as the common ex
pression goes, "tightwads." And lucky
for them we are not. Hence, the Italians
whom I principally mean this for
along with many others, scurry across
the pond to liberal. America to gather
unto themselves Its big, round sliver dol
lars. It does seem just a little ungrate
ful that they should presume to stretch !
themselves up and point the finger of
correction to their gracious benefactors, j
I have Just read the article In one of (
our leading western papers, namely The '
Omaha Sunday Bee, that prompts me to
sit down In my gingham apron and
dust cap to write this. In this same 1
article I read that one of these foreign
artists admits accepting an Invitation to
a reception or "thunderstorm,"' as she i
Is pleased to term the United States life
"Dreadful thing Is the American recep
tion." she says. I wonder If she accepted
through curiosity or thinking It would
perhaps add a few dollars more to the
box office receipts.
We consider it very Ill-bred for one
to, here, In America, accept extended
hospitality and then make silly, jeering
remarks.
It only goes to show us how ungrateful
and unbecomingly bred you are.
"For vanity's sake do not talk so
much." This extract from the article re
fers to the American woman again. I
would say to the foreign novice, "For
humanity's sake do not advertise so
grossly."
We give little thought as to how you
