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

two-a-day, to last until after
tho spring sun has warmed
the earth back to llfo again In 1914. 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. .'
Irene Frankln, she whoe crown of
glory has-lnsplrtd many things including
her own song of "Redhead" and Mont
gomery Flagg'a description of lior as
"the girl with the orange phosphate
hair." Is Just completing her first tour
of the far west since she was a girl In
her, early teens and short dresses. She
end her husband, Burt Green, have
turned their facts eastward, but that
does not mean that New York and other
fumlllar haunts of tliene two popular
Ueadllnere will m-t them in a hurry for
Miss Franklin's first tour of the Orpheum

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. Ladles' dime matinee dally,
starting tomorrow.
King's Comedy C?rcus for a head
llnor oxtraordlnnry Is booked at tho Em
press for tho week beginning this after
noon it nun necn seen in Omnhn linrm-n
and has been a riot at every apppuruueo.
Mr. and Mrs, HarrlsiBldon will present
mo nrst or aperies or drainatlo sketches
that have been booked by tho EmnreHs
management for the coming season.
Their offering for this wcok Is called
"For Old Time Sake," written by It. S.
Sheldon, who wrote Honry Miller's "Tho
Havoo" pn a theme nevejx before offered
In vaudeville. Tho Interpretation of tho
two leading roles will bo given by Mr.
nnd Mrs. Eldon thomselvofl. Billy Davla,
the harmonizing comedian, will offer his
"bunch of laue-hs
