found resting there j card
from Gaby Deslys and a
neatly bcribboncd box, In which daint
ily nestling In a mars of pink
cotton was a new-laid egg. Noth
ing to denoto If It 'wore the out
put of tho blessed hen that accompanies
the bewitching Clnby on her tour but a
tale that came up from Knnma City
rather tended to discourage tha belief
that the egg is of that prccUus vintage
(It one may use the word in lulling with
hen fruit; perhaps, under present prices,
tho word should bo mintage. However,
neatly Inscribed on the egg in tho most
elegant of lYench, which was translated
After consultation with tho polyglot per
sons who contribute condensed Informa
tion for tho edification of the public
through tho news columns of tho paper,
ras the statement that the era had been
laid with gentleness and care by Hen
rietta, whoso Journey wlh Gaby is prov
ing her most Illustrious r.f her kind, and
worthy at least of a place alorgnlda the
goose whose gabbling saved Home. And
let us wish long life to Henr'etta, and
may her ovlparian activity at hast con
tlnue a source- of Joy and Inspiration to
extravagant CJaby on her tour of lea
Ktats Unls, and when In courie of time
be is nq lopger capable of producing
those exquisitely modeled and soberly
colored, evidences of Iter worth an a Ken,
may ahe be permitted to uloaa her llf

might have been in the nlml of ihe

nn,i Chsntlcler. And for Oal.y long llfo
ttnd great happiness!
The now managers of tne Urandnis
theater are. setting aright the ttvnl..d af
fairs of the house, and are making much
effort to secure such bookings as will
restore it to a position of dignity among
the theaters of the west. Trouble is tw.
Jng encountered, because ot tho disturbed
and uncertain conditions thnt surround
he theater everywhere Just nt this time,
but the local managers are "lapcful jnd
are pushing their quest for attractions
with much xeal. Joy Butplun. who is In
charge of the Brandels and lloy.l bvtii
ness affairs, announces that he has
-cured "Adole" for the Sunday follow
ing Christmas, a four-dny enraptment.
nnd he hopes that he will yet secure an
appropriate Christmas attraction.
daby Deslya, tho most talked ot and
.most richly gowned woman on the stage,
comen to the Brandels theater loday,
where ahe will appear for two perform
ances only, matinee and night, sur
rounded by the Winter Garden company,
In a modern three-act musical play en
titled "Tho Uttlo Parlslenne." Her sup
porting company will Include Iter danc
ing partner, Harry Pllcar, Forrest Ifuff.
Joeph W. Herbert, Fritsl Von Ruling. I
jigar Aicnisori-my, Hattle Kneltal,
IjouUa Meyers aiid Percy 'Ijyndal.
Her role in "The Utile Tarislenne"
gives her an opportunity to display her
(altnU aa an Ingenue leading woman, as
well as to dance and sing. She will speak
and ring entirely In English, with the
exception of one song, which she will
sing in French. With her dancing part
ner, Mr. Harry Pllcar, she will do four
or five specialties. Including the daby
glide. Several of these specialties she
has performed with startling effect in
fondon, where she only recently closed
a ten weeks engagement at the Palace.
Thero is much Intereet-a natural condition-In
Gaby's gowna which, for this
reason's engagement number nearly SQO.
All of them came from Paris, where they
were made by tho leading dressmakers of
me worlds chief market for womana
sttlre- Gaby takes great delight and de-
rives much pleasure In her costumes.
Iteallxlpg that the publlo expects to see
her gowned in the very latest fashion,
and not satisfied with wearing one ur
two costumes at a performance, ehe
changes as often as nine or ten times,
and she never appears in the same gown
twice In the same city. Also, at every
performance she will wear something
new and striking In the way of Jewels.
Haying such a large collection to select
from. Gaby will have little difficulty In
delecilng a dally assortment. Pearls,
however, are her favorite gem because,
she declares, they are correct at any
time. Usually she wears a magnificent
graduated double utrlng of pearls during
the greater part of every performance.
Not satisfied with startling her audi
ence by the stylish gowns and the dis
play of her Jewels. Oaby has worked with
conscientious care to perfect herself as
a dancer who can hold her place with
At M?
any American. "When she first came over
she appeared In a brief sketch, but later
she was given tho leading part in &
musical production. This was after she
had mastered English and during1 her
visit here sho win both speak and sink In
this tongue. As a matter ot fact, she
rarely uses French even oft the stage
except (and this should not be field
against her) when she speaks harshly to
the gentlemen ot the customs' depart
ment Gaby's engagement In Omaha is for
one day only. ,
The dainty French operetta "Adele."
Is a new booking . announced at the
Brandels theater for four days, beginning
December 8. This is one ot the few
operas that has really, succeeded on Its
merits In New York this season. It was
thrown into tbjl new Longacre theater
in New York as a fill-In during the hot
weather and scored tin Instantaneous
succesit and has played; to rapacity houses
until a week ago, when It went on the
road for n-short -tour of which, through
the efforts of Messrs. Orawford, Phllley
and Zehrung. the now. manager ot the
theater, the Brandies will form a part.
1 Marrnret Anclln wilt temnemrllv close
her company 'he week before Christmas
and reopen early In the now year In
Boston, where It Is expected she Is to
play a long season. The customs ot
closing during Christmas week Is one
that Is gaining In practice in this coun
try, although this Is the only country
where It is tolerated. During the Boston
engagement Tan MaoL&ren will be In
troduced to the east as the now leading
man with Miss Anglln As a Shakes
pearean reader he has been rated second
only i to the -distinguished English artist.
Forbes-Robertson. Indeed, the sweet
ness, purity and strength ot his voice In
such readings has been generally com
mended on. He Is to play Antony In
Antony and Cleopatra; Orlando In As
You Uke It. and other leading roles In
her lighter plays.
Whltford Kane appeared in Chicago
last week as Sam Horrocks In a de
licious character comedy, "Lonesome
L4ke," by Harold Braghouse, and on the
same evening as Aglevale in Maeter
linck's tragedy. "The Death of Tin
tagilea." Tho. first play Is a light page
from CAncashtre life, and the second the
stirring tragedy of Maeterlinck, which
prompts a well-known crltlo to this ob
servation: "Nevet before have wo seen
a character actor appear during the same
evening In two such different roles, and
to each lend a dignity or a comedy
character as required, so unlike each
other. If repertory develops such talent
in arusis, u is nign time It became a
national Institution with us."
William A- Brady presented In New
York this week "The Things that Count.1
an appropriate Christmas play, from the
pen of Lawrence Kvre, Under the title
ot "Mrs. 4.nnumas Anget - it had a
trial In New York last year and was

WailU Clark, a dram&Uo actor, bjuj

cast his tot in vaudeville. IT offers this
explanation! "The murderers are being
sent up; the base ball players have gone
abroad; the freaks are In the circus; the
grand opera season -occupies the grand
opera singers, and the vaudeville man
agers are obliged to resort to actors to
fill their bls. This Is what I have been
waiting for." Aa a result of this con
dition Mr. Clark announces that he Is
to make several vaudeville productions
ot plays of merit.
Forty-flvo pounds Is the weight of tho
diminutive comedian. Master Gabriel,
who Is sinaller than Tom Thumb und
equally famous, In Ills one-act comedy,
"Mttle Kick," he comes to the Orphcum
this week ' as the head-line attraction.
Lost season he was the star in the chil
dren's theater of New York City, where
he was seen In the play by Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett, "Rackety rackety
House." In his vaudeville offering he In
troduces Imitations ot himself In two of
his most widely known creations, "Pctsr
Plper"-and- "Wttle-Nemo." -His -present-vehicle
Is said to offer him excellent op
portunity for the display of his gifts aa-n

promises to be "hKhMabqve the usual
vaudeville average. Another ot the, offer

burlesques, has been rather liberal In
equipping his pet show, the "Bowery Bur
lesquers," with an attraction this, season
which will be offered the patrons of th
popular Oayety theater. The plar Is
built on a higher order and Is vaccinated
with all those Ingredients which are
bound to make any attraction a success.
Fascinating pictures, pleasantly enllv-
ened and animated by the bewitching
smiles of the galaxy ot young women,
unroll with the splendor ot tableaux from
fairyland. Such eminent entertainers as
FlUgerald and Quinn, and Margare Lee
head the cast of the "Bowery's" The
ootumerB taste and Ingenuity hae been
tested In the designing of the chlo and
elaborate wardrobe. The result is a most
gratifying one, the costuming being on
ot the features of the production. The
cenio settings are likewise of a most
magnificent order and there Is every In-,
dlcatlon to believe that this season's of

most attractive one In Its hUtory. Start

Big Municipal Tree
for Celebration is
to Arrive Tuesday
Plans for the municipal Christmas tree
were almost spoiled by the treeie-up In
the Minnesota forests this week. If the
work ot hauling the sixty-foot giant
pine to the railroad had been one day
later, the snow would have made It Im
possible for the Ranks of men with many
teams to complete the work.
The local commission man Uaa just
heard from his representative at Solona,
Minn., who spent three days In the big
Umber before he selected the tree that
will soon stand In the court house yard
artd delight thousands ot - Omahans on
Christmas day. After the tree had been
selected, the work ot felling It and
sledding it to the freight cars waa de
layed several times, because of the need
of moro men. more horses and bigger
tackle with which to handle the monster
tree.
Just aa the railroad was reached, road i
conditions became so baddn account of I
snojr a.nd U. that no mora big trees '
could be hauled through, so Omaha will I
be lucky to have Its tree, which will I
arrive In the city Monday or Tuesday.
It la sixty feet tall and over eighteen
inches In diameter at the base. Two
lurge flat car are required to trans
port U.
Sebastlno Sortlno, the'rlrl mother, ac
quitted last Tusday by a Jury of a
charge ' of killing Santo Delucca, her
faithless lover, will be married Christmas
day to Bellomo Rocco, aged S3 yearn,
with whom ahe became acquainted at
the time the Jury, freed her.
A license authorizing the wedding was
secured at the court house by Srb'astlano
Falerno, proprietor of a grocery store
nt Sixth and Pierce street, and a brother
i ot Joseph Salerno, tho banker, - Father
Stenson will perform the ceremony. The
securing, of the license Is equivalent to
formal betrothal according to Italian
customs.
The pretty l-monthsold daughter of
the -dead Banto Delucca, Rocco says,
already Is regarded by him with aa much
affection as though she were his own
chlia.
Rocco, who has been In the United
States less than six months, was glad
to talk of his approaching wedding. He
was summoned to the Sarttno home by
febasttna'a mother, who Is proud of her
prospective son-in-law.
Married' Christina Day.
"We will- be married --on Christmas
dny.V he ssld to a little girl, who served
as Interpreter. "I was at the trial and
felt sympathy and love for Sebaitlana,
and especially when I saw that, the fine
ladles, of Omaha were sorry for her. Yes,
I wont.to care for the baby and I am as
fond of.her aa though she were my own.
t became acquainted with Sebastians,
soon after the trial and so have known
her, four days."
Young Rocco Is of pleasing appearance
and manners and Bebostlana'.t friends
predict that he will make an excellent
hu'band. The girl Immediately after
her acquittal went back to work at the
M. E. Smith wholesale house, where the
was employed before "the trouble," as
she calls her experience with txtuccn,
occurred. The chief delight 'ot her
mother, who came from Italy .to be 'with
the girl dutlng her trial, Is caring' for the
haby,.and she will remain In Omaha.
