HE Brandels theater remains
dark the first halt of the
week, reopening on Thurs
day night with George Scar
borough's white slave drama,
"Tho Lure," for an encase
ment of three days.
Following the engagement of "The
Iiure" Gaby Deslys, the idol of two con
tinents, with the entire Winter Garden
company, comes to the Brandela for one
day only matinee and night, December It
"The Lure," which Is to be seen by
Omaha playgoers at tho Brandels theater
tho end of the week, December 12 and IS,
wUh Saturday matinee, has for Its theme
the white slave traffic, ahd George Scar
borough is Its author. The second act, In
particular. Is said to abound in exciting
situations. The bold and daring treat
ment of his theme of white slavery by
this author led In New York to a police
and court Inquiry Into the character of
tho drama, from which It emerged some
what modified. All the characters of this
hideous commerce' in young girls are de
pleted in their true colors: tho "cadet,"
tho "madam" and tho underworld politi
cian, who is a silent partner In their hor
rible system. The three acts tell a well
rounded and complete story In which
two innocent girl victims are shown In
the toils and as finally rescued from their
threatened llfo ot shame. The play Is
not all of tho grim realism kind, but
hes a love romance and plenty ot heart
Interest. The cast, which is to interpret
It here, Isln every way the equal of the
New York' cast, and Is headed by "Wil
liam J. Kelly, one of the best known lead
lng men of the American stage. Beatrice
Prentice, who was for so many seasons
leadinglady of Robert Edeson, will enact
the heroine. Charlotte Granville, the
noted English actress of emotional roles,
will have the remarkable emotional
character of the "Madam." Leonard Ide,
who was last seen her with Margaret
Illtngton In "The Thief," will portray that
dandy of tho under world, the "Cadet"
Harold Russell, who made such a hit
as the politician In "The Man of the
Hour," will bo politician in this piece.
Enid Gray of "Excuse Me" celebrity, who
made such a charming lltUe mother in
"The Lottery Man," will bo "Mother."
Other well known players to be seen
will bo Ruth Flndlay, Jean Temple, Adolf
Link and George Seybolt.
Gaby Dealys, with her wonderful col
lection of costumes, which are said to be
the prettiest" and most expensive owned
by an actress on the American or foreign
stage, and her gems, including her fa
mous string of pearls, comes to the
Brandela theater tor one day only, mati
nee and night, Sunday, December It
This will be her first visit to this city.
She will be seen In a little modern muls-
cal play entitled, "The Little Parlslenne,
and. like Gaby, the atmosphere will bo-f
Parisian. Her supporting company wilt
be a large one and will Include her danc
ing partner, Mr. Harry Pllcer, who has
been with her during her recent triumphs
In London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna.
This Is Gaby's third visit to America,
and, while she is well known, she re
mains In America but a brief time each
season: this, in spite of the fact that
her management would gladly retain her
for an Indefinite period, but Gaby has a
psychology of her own as applied to
human nature In connection with the
theater. She believes that It Is better to
give her audiences a change, and, there
fore, alter playing a limited period In
America, she returns to Paris, playing
there, and then Berlin, Vienna, Budapest,
London and other continental cities,
which gives her as warm a welcome as
does New York.
She takes little time for play, about the
only vacation ehe gets being the brief
rest on shipboard going to and returning
from Europe. "While sho Is in -Parts, If
not acting, she gives up all of her time
to the designing of costumes, fittings,
I etc. Then she Is constanUy besieged by
I dressmakers, designers, jewelers, wig-
makers, shoemakers, and what not.
In "The Little Parlslenne" Gaby wiU
play the leading role, which la another
way of saying that she will be given
every opportunity to display her talents
as a singer and a dancer. "When she first
came to America she appeared In a little
French skit. Then she spoke only French,
but now she has mastered the English
tongue and Is capable of handling almost
any role. She takes keen pride In Im
proving her art. especially in taking up
new steps. She Is now as clever a dancer
as any American girl, and Paris was
quick to realize this when she returned
there last summer.
Thirty players, with "William Burreas
aa the star, will be seen and heard at
the Orpheum this week In the grand
opera travesty called "The New Song
Birds." With book and lyrics by George
V. Hobart and rauslo by Victor Herbert,
this headline attraction promises to ba
something exceptionally diverting. The
offering humorously) portrays the condi
tions prevailing In grand opera, with Mr.
Burresa featured in the stellar role of
"Oscar Hanunershtne." "A Business
Proposal" Is the tlUe of the one-act com
edy to be presented by Jack Kennedy and

associate players. After springing into
prominence as tho dancing feature ot
"The Kiss Walts," Ted Lorraine and
Hat tie Burke have been equally success
ful In vaudeville. They will otter a se
lection of songs and unusual dances.
SU11 another musical comedy favorite
who comes next week is Carl McCul-
lough. In his "fooUlght Impressions" he
does not offer Imitations of stage celebri
ties, but rather some good-natured trav
esties on the originals. An acrobatic
skit is to be contributed by Sutton, Mc
Intyre and Sutton. Two of them are
comedy gymnasts, while Kitty Sutton,
their dainty assistant, is amusing as
"the pumpkin gtrL" Perplexing illusions
will be presented by the humorous man!
ot mystery, Carl Roslnl, who promisee
to do some 'astonishing things that have
not previously been shown In Omaha. In
addition to these features there will be
another excellent act to maintain the
usual Orpheum standard ot high-class!
qntertalnmenU This offering will be the
planologue entertainer, Helen Ruggles.
As for the special moving picture feature,
It will be another of the exclusive, flrst-tlme-shown
photo-plays of more decided
Interest than those previously exhibited,
An extreme comedy novelty, "Colonel
Heeza Liar In Africa," will be one of the
films, and an educational subject,
"Glimpses of Pond Life," will bo offered.
Everybody around the popular Gayety
Is feeling more or less puffed up and
elated over the fact that today Is the
fifth birthday for the present policy of
clean, classy musical burlesque at that
house. For the anniversary week Man
ager Johnson was sucessful in securing;
tho IdenUcal musical burlesque attrac
tion that the big Columbia Amusement
company thought well enough of to honor
by allowing It to be the. inaugural or
opening attraction at their new and beau
tiful Gayety theater in Cincinnati, O.,
last October. The entire press of that
city was unusually laudatory In Its men'
tlon ot the attraction, which Is headed
by Phil Ott and pretty Alice Laxar, and
complimented the Columbia Amusement
comnanv for offering an entertainment
so absolutely free from anything often- I
siva or vulgar. That the play has proved '
so successful Is not to be wondered at
when the talent Involved In making, pro
ducing and acting It la considered. The
company Is one of exceptional merit. The
star, Phil Ott, ono of the funniest com
edians on the stage today, surrounded
with a coterie of capable associates. In
cluding Alice Lazar, the prima donna,
one of the sprtghtllest bits of femininity
on the EngUah-speaklng stage; Violet
May and Nettle Nelson, two pretty, tal
ented girls, and Vlriglnla Ware, a native
of New York and a rare beauty of the
Spanish type, who is a pronounced suc
cess; Billy Inman, Frank (Bud) William
son, the Harmony Trio, Dave Klndler
and several others just as prominent. A
humorous novelty will be found In The
Vampire Dance; starting Monday, there
will be a ladles' dime matinee daily
throughout Anniversary week.
Frank McNlah, one of the oldest and
best loved of tho minstrel men, heads the
vaudeville bill offered at the Empress
this week. Olr. MoNlsh was the creator
of the famous "Silence and Fun" vaude
ville act, and introduced acrobatic- tum
bling on the ordinary stage floor. In his
present engagement he is assisted by his
son, and the act la known as McNlah &
McNlah. Another act of great amuse
ment Is that of the Two Brernens. They
present a sensational spectacle on un
supported ladders called "The Imps'
Playground." LaRelne, a olaasical dancer.
has been engaged to appear In some of J
her well known interpretations of poetic
dancing. And the vaudeville bill will be
completed by the Murray Love trio, in
their rythracUo skit called "Fun at Sea."
Tho Love Sisters are well known to a
number of musical comedy productions.
A number of good photo dramas and an
educational picture ot merit will be
shown with every performance. A con
siderable addlUon to the number ot re
served seats has been made, making It
possible to obtain reserved seats at any
performance. Four vaudeville shows are
given dally, commencing at 2:00, 3:30, 7:30
and 9:09 o'clock.
The attraction starting today at the
Hipp theater will be Mrs. Flsko's famous
success. "Caprloe," with Mary Plokford
In the stellar role, whose baptismal char
acterization in the play is Mercy. The
play won commendable success on the
stage and Is considered an Ideal subject
for motion pictures, and a particularly
suitable role for little Mary. Mary is
just in her ortlttlo element, as the sim
ple, untaught backwoods girl, who falls
In love with the society man and marries
him despite his father's protests that she
will plunge him into social disgrace, and
after a comto attempt at suicide by Mary,
her husband tries -to make a society
orchid of the mountain rose, with tho
Inevitable heartbreak. Mary gets all the
humor and pathos, all the sentiment and
Irony, out ot her role. She Is Inimitable
as the uncouth, outlandish woman, when
she returns cultured and educated to the
mansion where she had first made her
ludlcrloua entrance Into Jack's social
world. Mary Plckford Is supported by
Owen Moore, who plays the part of her

OHN C FRHtJND, editor of
Musical America and a
staunch patriot In regard to
American matters musical,
has now turned his attentions
to the teaching forces .and
has recently been In conference with
many prominent persons In Washington,'
with the intention of arousing Interest
In a national movement for the elimina
tion of the fake muslo teacher. To e
tabllsn a national demand for the regis
t ration of muslo teachers, the same as
physicians and lawyers aVe registered, Is
the plan. A step like this would do much
for the cause of music In America.
If a teacher was compelled to register
It would at least mean that he had a
certain amount ot education behind him,
and at the present time we have no guar
antee ot that. It Is no uncommon th)ng
for a student who has perhaps put In
about two terms of musical study to be
gin to look about for pupils and to con
sider himself or herself as a teacher.
There Is also nothing to prevent their
doing so, and it sometimes takes the pu
pil or the pupil's parents a long time to
find out that they are not making the
progress that should be made.
The incompetent muslo teacher may be
found everywhere, and he Is Just as nu
merous In the large dUes as In the
smaller ones, and In Europe as- In Amer
ica. He is to be found In different styles
and conditions, and many are the crimes
that are committed by him In musics
name.
There are so many people In the world
that know nothing about muslo, who.
look upon it not as an art, but as an
amusement; who do not look about them
at musical matters, who are not educated
At tha Empress
husband (and who therefore renders a
natural performance), and Ernest Truax.
"Mendel Bellls," in Yiddish produced
by the Edward Bernard Ylddlsher com
pany, wilt be produced at the Krug
theaterWednesday afternoon and night,
and will be followed on Thursday by
"The Lost Sheep," a Yiddish drama in
four acts. There will also be a matinee
on Thursday. Mendel Bellls, the Jewish
martyr, was dramatized only a few
weeks ago by Mr, Edwad Bernard, who
arranged the production in five acts. Ik
Cantor, well known aa a producer ot
Yiddish plays, staged the production, It
is said, with such attention to facts and
details that the play is nn historic event
Bellls' lite is faithfully portrayed, it Is
aid, as are all of the facts. Including
his trial, acquittal and his present deten
tion In Russia. Tho Bernard company
presented "Mendol Bellls" first In New
York City, and are stopping off here
two days on their way to San Francisco.
In California they will pose for the mov
ing pictures to be made of tho Mendel
Bellls case.
to listen and think IndependenUy and
to compare not the personality of tlie
players, but what they have to offer, and
who want their children to atudy enough
only to be able to play or sing a little
bit, but by no means to be professionals
(as If there were any danger in the ma
jority of casesl) These people, as a rule,
find a teacher that Is, first of all, cheap,
financially. Often they might better
throw away the money In Uie first place
and save the child's time and effort, for
although there are sometimes bargains
to be found in a cheap music teacher,
too frequently their knowledge Is scant
and they are like every other cheap
thing there Is no quality to the work.
and when their pupils are placed side
by side with those of better known
teachers they cannot comparo favorably.
In close proximity to this type ot teacher
might be mentioned the indolent teacher.
the one who really has studied to
sufficient extent to be able to teach up
to a certain point, but who Is easy-going,
does not Insist upon things being correct,
and unless the pupil asks questions sel
dom tells him anything or gives a reason
why statements made are true.
It Is not always the teaoher whose fees
are cheap who is the fake. All too
often there are found persons with lim
ited ability or knowledge who with a
foreign name or peculiar personal ec
centricities and a great deal of Judicious
advertising, will manage to attract
pupils who will pay a good fee tor tui
tion, only to find out later that they
have learned things wrong, and some
times when It Is too late to change.
Many times cases have been cited in
musical magazines of teachers who have
promised to place vocal aspirants In
opera If they wlU study with them for a

Comnarlsone" would In a certain meas
ure eliminate these frauds In the musi
cal nrofeaslon. If Punlla before study
(ni with a teaoher would hear some of
his other pupils ploy, and those of other
teachers, and talk to them about tne
teacher's manner of teaching and see
how far any of them had succeeded in
arolnsr. how successful they haa neen.
and If their success cams because they
studied with a certain teacher or be
cause they stopped studying with him.
and then choose the teacher for them
selves whose pupils upon the whole did
the best work they would seldom go
fnr wronar. Of course talent has a great
deal to do with a student's success, but
a good teacher given a pupil with aver-
ngo Intelligence who will work conscien
tiously and persistently, can develop him
Into a good performer, although he may
not become a concert artist.
Registration of muslo teachers through
out the country would not remedy all the
evils of muslo teaching any more than
registration of doctors prevents quack
doctors or poor and careless treatment
of mnny cases, but It would prevennt a
number of people from entering the field
as teachers without a certain amount of
fundamental knowledge- A plan of this
sort, if successfully carried out. would
be welcomed by sincere teachers every
where, as It protects them as well as
the public. "We have many In Omaha
who would be glad to see It come, men
and women who can hold their own In
any community, and who would rejoice
at any step to raise musical efficiency.
