Father Dowling is Very Sick in a St. Louis Hospital Itov. M. P. Dowling, former president of Crelghton university, Is reported to be very Blck In St. John'-s hospital, St. Louis, where ho went nearly two weeks ago for a stomach operation. This hospital is connected with the St. Louis university, one of the leading Jesuit Institutions. Father Dowling left Omaha after a presidency of Creighton university longer than that of any other ono mail, to take up pastoral work at Kansas CKy, There ho ts now pastor of St. Aloyslus church, an well as founder and president of Rock hurst college. In spite ot his busy days as shepherd ot a flock, this man of dy namic energy and great intellectual force, with a reputation among Catholic edu cators of the country found time to estab lish a new college, now one of the promis ing mid-western Catholic schools, though only In Its Infancy, Indeed, not fully es tablished. Mullen Fined for an Assault on Newsboy Arthur F. Mullen, former attorney gen eral of Nebraska, was fined $5 and costs in police court with suspended sentence tor assault and battery upon tho person of Harry Brookstcln, a newsboy, aged 17 years. Mullen attempted to stop a fight between Brooksteln and another lad Tuesday evening In front of the Omaha National bank building, and In doing so struck Brooksteln.

On Thursday evening the Brandeis will flutter gently, with a now .book-made drama, and on next Sunday the Boyd and the Krug will open their doors, to be fol lowed In two weeks by tlio American and the Brandcip with. Its regular winter bookings. Tho Empress has gone along all summer without a skip, and promises to keep It up all winter, just the same. Bo the good folks of Omaha will have, plenty of excuse for not staying at home during the evenings for the noxt nine months at any rate. The local sit uation will show some changes, too; In stead ot two first-class houses strenu ously competing for patronago at the hlgher-prlced attractions, the new order contemplates that all of this business shall go to the Brandeis. Competition has been placed on a different plane. For many years Omaha has had a resi dent stock company, presenting popular plays at prices within the reach of the multitude, and tor the most part these ventures have, been profitable, at least to the point of paying expenses and en couraging their promoters', or succossors, to try again next season. Now, Omaha Is to have two resident stock, companies, each headed by un actress of established reputation In the line ot work sho has devoted herself to, and the rivalry that seemB certain to grow out of this situ ation will bo one of the interesting features of the season. Tho Gaycty will have ts peculiar field all to Itself again, for tho rearrangement of burlesque af fairs wiped Its rivals off the map. The Orpheum, too, will bUU continue alone In the matter of purveying vaudeville en tertainment of the "standard" variety, while tho Empress will have a competitor in the matter of (he bop" vaudeville, the Krug having been dedicated to this sort of amusement, nnd having met the Em press schedule of "10 cents for any seat" with a schedule of 5 cents to 23 cents; all of which will add to the Interest the Omaha situation affords the casual ob server. Hoi pollol will have a broad field for choice during the winter. ill S3 Florence Stone, who Is to lead the Boyd Theater Stock company, came to Omaha during the week, and was Joined later by other . members of tlvo company, and rehearsals were com menced at once for the opening bill, which Is to be "Tho Thlet." tho first performance coming on Sunday night next Miss Lang closed her season at tha Brandeis last night, and will rest for the next three weeks, opening her winter season at the American on Sun day, September II. .'

Tho Actors' Equity association has for its object precisely what Its name Indi cates, equitable arrangement of all busi ness matters pertaining to those who fol low tho art ot acting, and especially per taining to those who are members of the association. As Is declared in tho pream ble to its constitution: It Is a voluntary association, formed to advance, promote, and foster the pro fession of uctlng and those engaged therein. To protect and secure the rights of actors. To Inform them as to their legal lights and remedies. To procure appropriate legislation In matters affecting thoir profession. To do such tliingx as shall appear ad vantageous, or refrain from doing such things as will -appear disadvantageous to the profession of acting, or to tho mem bers of this association. It Is In no sene a social organization, such as The Players, Tho Lambs, The Orcein Room club, The Twelfth Night club, Tho Professional Women's league, Tho Actors' Order of Friendship and The Friars, which are composed ot people following various nrts and professions. The Actors' Equity association Is tho only non-beneflclary organlration (tho Actors' society possibly excepted) formed in the Interests ofactprs and actresses which Is composed almost exclusively of those In the active practice of their pro fession. Its luy membership Is strictly limited and Is composed at present of two lawyers und a banker, who are elected for tho purposes ot legal guid ance, located treaaurershlp and for the making up of quorums of committees and whose known aatflllatlon and sympathies with the drama and Its exponent are unquestioned. Just as no person who confines his activities purely to the pro fession of acting would be ellgibla to membership In the Engineers' club, or the Lawyers' club, so no ono who Is not an actor Can become a member of the Actors' Equity association, which has b(en formed Just as tho aforementioned eluim have been for a spwific purpose, already stated. It alms to be an ad visory board, to which any Just s'ov ances or Injustices, coming either from actor or manager, muy be referred with At tlieBoyd a certainty of respectful consideration and determined, but unblasod, attention. It alms, in fact, to occupy towards the theatrical profession a position not pre cisely like, but similar to that held by tho Bar association towards Its mem bers. Any person, Irrespective of na tionality, who can establish a record ot three years as an actor Is eligible to membership. At the Brandeis theater, beginning next Wednesday ovenlng, August 28,. and con tinuing over tho 20th and SOth, with n matinee Saturday, will bo seen another of Harold Bell Wright's great storle put Into playing form by Mr. W.lght and Elsbery W. Reynolds. In "That Printer of Udell's" the men and women aro made actual human beings) swayed by the same passions and controlled bv the same emotions as ourselves. The scene of the play Is In the tnlddlo west bo rich In Incident and character study as to afford the gifted author a wealth of material for his forceful pen. When we see before us Uie doings of tho minis terial meeting It brings to our minds that this Is a story of practical Chris tianity. For diversity of thought, lissona of truth and keen enjoyment, "That Printer of Udell's" surpasses In quality and mind the majority ot tho plays ot tho present day. Messrs. Oaskill and MaoVltty have given the production a cast far above the average and a scen'o equipment adequate In every resoect. The cast Is headed by Hugo B. Koch, who has been a popular star for a num ber of years. Mine. Kenny IJpzin, the great YlddlMi star, will bo the uttractlon at the Boyd theater on Tuesday evening next Mm. Ltpzln Is again supported by the same excellent cast which supported her hero during her last visit In Omaha. Alan Rger Itelkln will present his star In the latest success, "The Holy Song," a four act play, Tho excellent cast of players Includes: Mine. Kenny Mpzln, Mmo. Wllensky, J, Katzman, Mine. Katzmnu, J. Cone, Miss R Banks, Ellas Roth, stein, Mr. Coppersmith and Mlsa Sophia. Two players of prominence como to Omaha for tho opening of tho new sea son of advanced vaudeville at the Or pheum theater. Iror this week, beginning with Sunday's matinee, Frank Keenan will appear In a reminiscent episode, "Vindication." a one-act play which Is to be the dominant attraction of the open ing bill. For the second week, beginning August 31, Kathryn Kidder, the famous Bhakesportan star, will present a playlet based upon "Mndnm Sans Gene," tho J drama in wmcn sue nciiievru nrr tinni est popular success. Mr. Kcenan has won distinction ot n very special ort as a portrayer ot ihar acter roles In modern plays; yet H will be recalled that he Interpreted tho "letn nnd hungry" Casslus In the nlt-stnr Favershnm presentation of "Julius Cao. sor," a production commonly regarded In Omaha as tho ohlnf event of our last i drnmatto season. "Vindication." tn whNMl iir ueenan is now appennnR. nam inrea j characters, chief of which Is Luke Wain- I wrlght, a confederate veteran who dls closes In a wny curiously dramatic the grim coui-ak of a soldier. "A Night on the Bowery" will bo rslvon by Bob Matthews nnd Al Shayne. It ts n tabloid fantasy. Both nro laugh pro ducers, being comedians and parodists. Joo Jackson will appear In "The Euro pean Vagabond." Harry H. 'Richards nnd Besslo Kyle offer "A Regular Club Fellow," giving tho difficulties of a wife whoso husband has contracted the club habit. Miss "Mlko" Bcrkln, daughter ot a mining man ot Montnna, a gifted violinist who has attracted much attention, Is billed an "The Olrl from Butte." An other diverting featuro of tho week's bill Is a qhartet ot Japnneso equilibrists and foot Jugglers, known ns "tho Kltnro Four." Down In Kansas City tho Times-Star Is the leading and representative paper. What It prints people believe. Its ut terances have weight; carry conviction. Therefore. It Is with pleasure that tho Gavety management calls attention to tho Tlnie.i-Ptat's review In last Mon day's paper relative to "Girls From Starland," playing In tho Kansas City Gaycty last week, and booked as tho opening attraction for Omaha's Gaycty for the week starting with today's mat inee: A crowded house, a pleasing show, far ahead of the regular run ot burlesque, opened tho 1913-H season of tho Gnyrty theater yesterday, marking tho cousollda ktlon of the Western and Eastern bur- lesquo wneeis. In plot nnd action the show was the. musical comedy, "Miss Nobody From Starland." with comedy nnd sentimental Rceucs lifted almost without change, Onlfr- In namo and a few of tho cast did It differ from tho original played at the Grand Opera Houso last year. The now name ts "Tho G'rls From Starland," leading with Miss Illllle Hill, a former musical comedy comedienne. Joe Nel mcyer, the dancer; Otto Kocrner, the de tective, and JesMo Maker, tho Ingenue, nro from the original companv. The part of the Italllday fnthor was taken by Charlos lii n:. win will he reii'einberod rrom ;Hs put ns lh? gruff fnincr In "Tho Heart Breakers." The ltnllun Girl Is played by Katherlno MriJonnoll, f Um Sisters McConnell, a dancer with much promise Her duo In the Intcrmlrslon between the second nnd third acts, with Nelmeycr. sneaks of future recognition In higher xtugedom. The union of tho Western and Eastern wheels will serveN It Is thought, to elim inate tho objectionable companies on tho two circuits and send only tho best to the Gayety this yenr. If this week's show, a Herk production, Is a criterion of the new combination's output, too much cannot be said for It, Seats are now on sale for tho entire week.
