At he&2'aaclcis
OR his twenty-sovenin season,
Al O. Field. who -will
bring his stars ol minstrelsy
to Omaha for two perform
ances today at the Broa
dels theater, has provided a
brand new proi;am,of features. Instead
of the automatic seml-clrclo for the open
ing spectacle, a display through which
runs a plot has been prepared. The title,
"minstrelsy, Past and Present," gives a
clue to the possibilities that have been
worked out, and the. scene, a hotel
veranda and Jawn at Ormond Beach, Fla.,
onthe eve of the great automobile races,
affords an opportunity for a tropical
scenic production that employes a num
ber of startling mechanical effects. "All
Hallowe'en" or "Ush Mum's Dream," -l
the" title of a 'most pretentious dancing
7 ketch and senic spectacle showing Gob
In' Dell and Hades. "The Opening of
the Pahama Canal," with the first boat
passing through the lock forms a basis
for a historical and patriotic pageant that
employs the services of the halt hundred
members of the oompany. The personnel
of the company Includes names of those
highest' In minstrelsy, at the head pf
which stands Al G. Field himself.
At the Brandels theater on Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, with the regu
lar matinee on 'Wednesday, Cohan ahd
Harris will present Raymond Hitchcock
Sn the' musical play, "The Red Widow," a
work by Channing Pollock, Rennold Wolf
and Charles J. Gebest. The first act has
Its locale In London, but that Is merely
to start 'Cicero Hannibal Butts, a retired
millionaire (Raymond Hitchcock) on his
way to St. Petersburg with a beautiful
young "woman, known as "The Red'
Widow," so that he may become harrow
lnsly Involved, In dynamite and pistol
plots treacherously conceived by a band
of nihilists, In which "The Red Widow"
Is the leader, to snuff out the life of
the cxar and such royal personages as
may stray within her range. To become
a j? arty to all this crime, Cicero Hannibal
Butts finds It necessary to elude tho
vigilant eyef a suffragette wife. Also
ho -rinds It -necessary -to -pose as the hus
band of "Tho Red Widow," whose pas
time unknown to him is sharp-shooting
at kings.
The widow's love for a captain of the;
Imperial Guards, and Mrs. Butts' timely
arrival In St. Petersburg avert a tragedy.
Punctuating the scenes ln'whlch Cicero
dodges the secret police, and Juggles hot
sizzling "bombs" are eighteen musical
numbers that embody all the spirit and
dash expected In any musical piece flying
the Cohan colors. Mr. Hitchcock will bp
assisted by Flora Zabelle, who will be
seen -as the designing "Red Widow."
Others In the cast Include Minerva Cover
dale. Marie Richmond. Gloria Gray, Nan
Brown, Theodore Martin, George White,
George E. Mack. Edward, Metcalfe,
George Romalnt Charles Prince, 8tanley
Fields,, and a large chorus ot singers
and dancers. The orchestra will be under
the direction of Karl Wexelbauro.
"Hanky Panky" Is a Jumble of Jollifica
tion and to- cap Its pretentious, claims It
is one 'of the latest 'production efforts
of Lew Fields, who has given the play,
which will be seen at the Brandels
theater Friday and Saturday, April 11
and It, with matinee Saturday, a cost
of players, each a star in his or her
particular field, composing an Imposing,
array -of stage talent Max Rogers of
the immortal Rogers brothers, 'Bobby
North, Harry Cooper, Hugh Cameron,
Clay. Smith," Christine Nielsen. Myrtle
' Gilbert, Virginia Evans, Flo May, Wil
liam Montgomery and Florence Moore aro
among the funmakera who have con
tributed to the success of this musical
extravaganza. The trio of writers who
have been prominently identified with
ioz eZfa 1'
all 'Fields' kuooeeses are respoaalblo tor
"Hanky Panky." Edgar Smith l the
author of the- Jibrotto E. Ray GoeU
wrote the lyrics, while A. Baldwin
Bloane composed -the Jingle airs that -are
being whistled In the cities tho play has
already -visited.
The first scene of the musical play
reveals tho Villa at BIlgewater-on,-the
Thames, of 6Ir J. Rufus-Watllngford, the
'get rich quick" expert, now a member
of the British peerage. Clay Smith Is
the musical Blackle DaWj while Solomon
Bumpskl la portrayed by Harry Cooper
and Max Rogers .and "Bobby" North
I.resent a lovable duo of German come
dians, -who bring back memories of the
Rogers Brothers in the height of their
fame, Florence Moore danoes and
grimaces her way through the play, to
gether with William Montgomery, who
presents a college freshman of the most
amusing type. The second scene of
'Hanky Panky" Is set on the campus
of the University of Chicago, whllo the
closing set Is the American estate of
Wnlllngford, the fronded financier. The
chorus of fifty pretty girls Is divided Into
sets of blondes, brunettes and Titian
haired beauties, while the production is
the product 'of tw Fields' over fertile
and Imaginative brain.
nana Marshall will be the attraction
at the Brandels theater Sunday, April
13, for an engagement of one night, whe
Clarence Bennett and company will pre
sent her In "The Price," by Geonie
Broadhurst.
Few plays have created euah wide
spread Interest among Omaha .thtator
goers as has Graham Moffatf Scotch
comedy, "Bunty Pulls the Strings,'
which will begin a week's engagement at
the Brandels theater on Jtfonday night,
April H. "Bunty" comes to Omaha after
a two years' run at the Haymarket thea
ter, London; eighteen months' run at
Collier's 'Comedy theater. New York, and
six months at the Princess theater, Chi
cago. The eastern critics have said that
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" Is without
doubt the greatest laughing success t
the century. It Is a play of types, in
which aualnt characterization figures I
largely. Canny Scoth humor that smacJtg
of the soil abounds throughout the play.
There Is a sufficient quantity ot Homely
wisdom and kindly sentlment"tn"the Plnce
as .well. Its dialogue is said to be ot
'such a spontaneous and .natural sort that
It does liot seem overdrawn even In Its
funniest moments.
At tho Boyd this week Miss Lang and
her company will offer for the flrat time
in Omaha "Just a Woman," a smart
comedy of manners by- Avery Hopwood
and Channing Pollock. It was flnt
played by Graco George under the title
of '"'Clothes" and Is listed among her
successes. The story of the play ueals
with the fortunes of. a girl who has been
left penniless by- an extravagant lather.
but who finds It necessary to keep up
her end among the very fast set of New
York's fashionables. She thinks he s

French nobleman. A rich younrr man,;
wants to wed tho girl, and out of this
fact grows a rather complicated situa

looks ,as if the whole thing had been
wrecked. The comody Is smartly written,
and Is rich, Injts. wlttlolsras. Its .cynical,
wisdom,, and Its biting. .satire. It is also
tho first dress play of the season, and as
such will give ,the .star and -the other
women in the' .company a chance to shoiv
their new gowns. The first performance
will be at the matinee this afternoon.
The talking moving pictures, the latest
and most wonderful tnvontlon of Thomas
A. Edison, will be shown at tho Orpheum
this week. For the last seventeen, ooro
Mr, Edison has been endeavoring to
cVimbtna his two earlier Inventions the
phonograph and the" klnetoscone. During
the closing hpurs of 1912 the. manufacture
of the machine was begun. The demand
.was great for tho latest amusement fon
ture and the order which the Omaha Or
pheum booked earlier than most play
houses, was filled three weeks ago,
Since which time the work of Installing
the mechanical contrivance has been
steadily progressing. The pictures ex-
