.OVBB ta ta shew business in
OfBih have became fast dur
ing the last few days. Begin
ning with the dlemtaeel ot
Klorenoe Btone from the peel
tlon of leading woman of the
Xeya Theater Stock company for the as
signee reason that she Is too costly an
ctrea to head a stock company In this
village. Manager Turner has continued
his activity by securing- the control
of the American theater, thereby,
drlvtnc Xvts Lang from home. It Is an
nouaos4 that Mr. Turner proposes to re
move the stock company from the Boyd
to the Amerlean theater, and that a mov
ing pieture sfeow w41l be Installed at the
Bey. Hie Lang gee to Denver, where
she will he installed as leading woman
In the Denham theater, which Is to be
epeaed on November 1.
One result of the change will be to de
prive Omaha of the eempeny of two very
capable wamea. Much has already been
MM in The Bee of Miss Lang, and all In
praise. Of Miss sHone, it may be written
dwn that she U an accomplish t4 artteto
In all the word tmpMes. feme U experienced
tn aU the grades of werk require ot a
wemaa en the etase, her career In stock
having been extensive and varied, while
her natural advantages are those essen
tial to auooees e the stage. To the prime
qualification ot strtUag personal beauty
aha adds grace ef mind as well aa of body,
a faculty for expression as well as the
Intuitive perception for understanding;
a bueyaat, vivacious habit, and a serious
regard tor her art-all parts of the
equipment ot a good actor. 6he has had
very HtUe opportunity to show her real
aWlKy at the Boyd. Mies atone has given
to the roles assigned her treatment better
than thsy deserved, but could not give
to them the quality that makes for sue
cess. One can hardly avoid the conclusion
that had Miss Stone's admitted ability
been property placed before the publlo
the verdict that she is too expensive an
actress for Omaha might not have been
rendered.
As to the occasion for Miss Lang's go
ing; She was employed by the AllardU
of Chicago, lessees of tho American
theater, aa was Mr. Woodward. When the
control of the American theater passed
from the AllartMa to Mr. Turner, It t
mlnated the contract of employment for
Mies Lang at that .theater. Mr. Wood
ward had already leased the Dtnham
theater at Denver, so he merely has to
transfer the orvaalaatlon now playing
t the American to hie new theater, and
to right on doing business at the new
Hand.

under the direction of. Den Bergman. This
Is the self-same Ben Welch whom you
have laughed at and applauded many
times at the OrpheUm, when Mr. Welch
was In vaudeville.
Eva Lang Is leaving Omaha again, this
time because the theater In which she
has been playing Is sold over her head,
and she has no place to go exoept to
Denver, where she will open the new
Denham theater and head a resident
stook company there. Eo this Is to be
her closing week at the American, a fact
that Is especially to ba regretted by her
self, because shs has been drawing the
largest and most profitable attendance ot
any season she has ever played In Omaha.
"Mrs. Black Is Back." a rollicking
comedy by George Hobart, played In
Omaha several seasons ago by May
Irwin, had been chosen for the week,
and will serve as the closing bill. It Is a
nappy, clean comedy, full of bright lines,
humorous remarks and good comedy
situations, so It will be a good farewell
vehicle for the star and her company.
The rehearsals have gone very smoothly
and a good performance Is certain, the
bill going on at the American for the
matinee this afternoon and running all
week, with the usual matinees on Wed
nesday and Saturday.
"Mrs. Wlggs ot the Cabbage Patch,"
will be the bill at the Boyd theater for
the coming week. The play Is very fa
miliar tn Omaha, for It has been played
hero a number of times since Madge CUrr
Cooke and Mabel Taliaferro Hrri ap
peared as Mrs. Wlggs and Lovey Mary
at the Boyd theater several years ago.
The play Is based on two of Alice Hegaa
Rico's popular stories and teUs a con
nected and Interesting yarn of certain
phases of lowly life In Louisville. Mrs.
Wlggs Is full of hope and homely phil
osophy, and Is a character shining with
the Christian virtues, whether she knows
It or not Her quaint way of expression,
the cheerful resignation with which she
meets the disheartening situations she
encourages, and the practical manner In
which she settles the difficulties between
Stubblns and MUs Htxy are all very
humorous, but nonetheless natural. Miss
Carrie Thatcher 1 to play Mrs. Wlggs.
Mr. Herblln will be Stubblns and Miss
Stone will be disguised as Miss Hasy.
The run opens with the matinee today
and continues through the week, with
other matinees on Thursday and Satur
day. This Is MUs Stone's closing week
at the Boyd.

ical reproduction ot the steamship Ti

Key to the Situation Bee Advertising.
Dahlman Democracy, long famed for
Its efficient Infantry, has now a com
pany of cavalry, the sight of which
struck a multitude of landteekers at Val
entine with fear and trembling.
Thomas J, Flynn, Vincent McDonough.
Joe Butler, James McDonald and fifteen
others, going to the land drawing, de
trained five miles out ot Valentine and
three hours later clattered Into the little
town on foaming horses.
When the cavalcade thundered Into
Valentine In a cloud of dust the passing
crowds halted and stood stock still at
the vision they beheld!
The weary horses gave all signs of hav
ing been ridden from Omaha that very
day, which was Thursday. Their heads
drooped and their knees wobbled, but the
most heartrending jthlng about the brave
cavalcade was the riders.
Joe Butler, Tom Flynn's gallant first
lieutenant, hung dejectedly to the sad
dlehorn by Ma crooked leg, for, alt un
used to such rough riding, he had de
veloped a most annoying blister.
Flynn, himself, was frothing at tho
mouth, but managed to sit straight In
the saddlev The others, tn divers posi
tions, gave proof that the first company
of Dahlman cavalry had gone through
a rough siege.
To Valentino visitors and residents
Flynn could not deny the first Impres
sionnamely that they had ridden all the
way from Omaha and many ate still
marveling at the hardihood ot that brave
bunch.
