.UIl'TI.NG acenei in Omaha
niURerncnt circles are moving
almost with the rrlerltjr of
film play, io that one haa to
keep close watch to set all
that ! being ahown on the
tcrcen. The latest change, though, la
one that will bo jcelvd with much pop
ular atlHfartlon. for It pula back on tha
map the old firm of Woodward Bur
geaa, under whose guidance Omaha en
joyed lis best day at the theater. These
gentlemen have taken over the ' Bord
theater, and will Install a permanent
stock organisation there, opening next
8unday, for the winter season, and ex
pert to win back to that house the
standing It enjoyed under their former
control. The aeaaon at the American
under the management of th Woodward
Amusement company,- will end on Batur
day evening next.
Tho Lang-Miller company closed j Its
lay at the Boyd last night, and will
open a 'season at the Broadway theater
In Denver this evening. While the atari
of this organisation in Omaha was short,
It wag sufficiently Ion to establsh Ita
standing as a thoroughly capable com
pany of actors. Miss Lang did better
work In several of the roles she gave us
this time, notably that of Maggie Bhulta
In "Kindling." than she haa ever dona In
Omaha, and - fully demonstrated her
growth In her art. Mr. Miller la a good
actor, and affords excellent support to
MIms Lang, and the other members of tha
company are worthy of the stars. It
will be a pleasure to hear of their de
served prosperity Denver. '
Mr. Lynch la to be retained as the lead
ing man for the new company at the
Boyd, his popularity In Omaha being al
ready established, and In company with
him will be Mies Francos McIIenry,
young woman who Is well known In New
Tork and the east, and who la recom
mended as one of the brightest of stock
leading women. The company will be
made up partly from that now playing
at the 'American and partly from people
brought on from the east to strengthen
the organisation.

A aer.tlment attached to "Hanky
Tanky," the attraction now playing at
the Brandels Uieater, In the minds of
everybody connected with the organisa
tion made them anloua to join It again
when It was reorganised. Of the orig
inal thirty-three chorus girls In the first
production and the .twelve chorus boya,
practically all are with the new show.
The scenery and costumes of the new
show far outrival the gorgeousness and
luly of the original production. There
are many things which make thke show
famous. It la a perfect musical comedy,
combining beautiful melodlea by some of
the world's greatest writers with scream
ingly funny situations. "Hanky ranky"
closes its engagement In Omaha with
tonight's performance.
$
Of Interest to overy Jewlh family, and
especially to Russians, la the play by
juu-naei Morton, entitled 'The Yellow
Ticket." which will be seen at the Bran-
dels theater for three daya. commencing
inursaay. Decembers, with matinee Pat
orday.
Those born la the kingdom of the ciar
need not be told of tha terrible signifi
cance of the yellow ticket, a license Is
sued by the secret police. It sermlta the
holder to wander at will In any part of
the car"s domain, no matter of what
religious belief. In order to leave the
pale of settlement Jewish girls of good
lamiives have been forced to apply for
the yellow ticket, thus branding them'
selves as shameless women. Kor only In
this way can a Jewish girl escape from
the "pale."
It was In order to visit her dying father
in Bt. I'fctereburg that Anna Mlrrell was
forced to apply for a yellow ticket. Her
family lived in "the pale of settlement'
at Kiev, and when word came that bur
father was at death's door, Anna Mlrrell
went to the police and applied for' the
terrible passport to freedom. It waa fur-
bUhed to her of course, for the Russian
police are quite w tiling to Uaue these
ticket to beautiful young Jewish women
When Anna Mlrrell'a family heard what
he had done, they cast hqr off and burnt
'.and! 'jt for the dead. Only Anna herself
luew that she waa Innocent, and when
ker father died In the great Russian cap-
Hal she was left alone. Bhe could not re
turn to the "pale." for her relatives spoke
of her as dead. The police demand that
the hMr of a yellow ticket ahail fulloer
fet-r calling. time that "Marya Va-

ranka" sought new employment It was
only to be discouraged by the "orkana"
and driven Into tha streets. At last. In
despair, and In a last effort te remain
respectable girl, Mary appeals to the
powerful Baron Audrey, head of the se
cret police. He attempts to attack her,
whoreupon she turns upon the vicious old
roue and staba him to the heart.
This play had a remarkable run of an
entire year at the Kltlnge theater, New
ork City. The production Is given
under the management of A. II. Woods
and the company Includes W. L. Ablng-
on, Paul McAllister, John Kuvold, Rob
ert Cummings, Dorothy Kills, Reginald
