It Is really a melodramatic comedy that Miss Bergere is to present. Edgar Allan Woolf Is responsible for this, another of her successes. Hers is the distinction, by the way, of having produced more one-act plays than any oher actress in the world. She created the name part in "Madam Butterfly," and was equally effective In "The Janpanese Wife" and In "Billy's First love," her first conspicu ous success. This time the actress ap pears as the heroine In a play that tells of an attempt to blow tip the powder magazine in Panama by dropping bombs from a Mexican airship. The act to be offered by Mr. Cronin Is described as "many mirthful moments." lie and his merry men do tome phenom enal juggling. The offering Is said to be one of the most decided novelties In vaudeville. Frank 'North, in "Back to Wellington," Is presenting a sequel to "Those Were the Happy Days." Mr. North Is capably supported. He does a "rube" character that Is said to he delicious In Its whole some humor. Tho Five Metzettis offer an astonishing act. Sylvester Metsetti is the only man in the world to do a triple somersault In midair, 'and then alight upon the , shoulders of another man.

The Orpheum Travel Weekly, offering Interesting views of strange countries, will, as usual, be the motion picture feature. ' v hen Dreams Come True," w!ilch will be presented at the Brandeis theater this afternoon arid evening and tomorrow night, is a combination of melodrama, fa rue, music and danclaf. There are three acts in "When Dreams Come True," and in these four complete ets of scenery are shown. The ball room scene in the final act is painted ' n lll instead of csnvass, this original and expensive plan having been employed to secure a lighting effect of great beauty; The book of "When Dreams Come True' is by . Philip Bartholomae, author of over Nlffhtf and "Little Miss Brown," and the music is by Bilvto Hein, the com poser of many of Marie Cahlll's greatest successes. The leading part will be played by Frederic Santley. Thurston, the magician. Is the attrac tion at the Brandeis theater for three days beginning next Thursday with mat inee Saturday. Dvery trick of every magician who ever lived Is known to Thurston. He makes no pretense at ex- posing any particular faith or fad, but all of the so-called apparitions or spirits Thurston duplicates light before you. There isn't a dull moment In the whole entertainment and the mysteries not only astonish and bewilder, but they engender rnthiisiasm. The charm of newness ap rHe,to the entire program. THe scope of the Thurston operations is Indicated by the titles of his mysteries, the mure noU'ilo of which are "The New Woman," "Animated Sketches,'' "The Kvolut'.on of the Negro," "Aerial Flrtilng," ' Noah s "Watson Sisters &eGayefy Vision." "Ealaam and his Donkey, "The Chocolate Soldier" and "Creation." Hero, surely. Is naterial enough to satisfy the most insatiable appetite for the hidden things of this world, and all srrvod In the appetizing Thurston way. For an lidded attraction Mr. Thurston offers "The Phantoms of a Parisian Btudlo." This sensational mysiiery was presented by him in Paris last summer during his two-months' run at the Theater Vari eties. Mr. Thurston will present to every lady attending the Saturday matinee a complete horoscope of her life free. , J.

From the first she meets the opposition of family and friends, who are beneficiaries of existing evils, such as child labor, long hours of workwomen, and other social wrongs, but she faces this, and later Is forced to meet the combined opposition of the wealth of the city. She gives back blow for blow, and in the end. with the as sistance of Dr. Root, wins the fight Dr. Root incidentally, has two missions In i means and then proceej to follow instruc life, one to help everybody he can andjtlon.

Thej first performance of "The Fight" will be at tne maUnee this after noon, and the bill will run all week, with other matinees on Wednesday and Satur day.

OMMON sense in muslo seems at first to be a very common place sort of thing, but after' one thinks a minute is it really? t'pon the, other hand. Isn't It a rare quality? If peo ple only had it half of the muslo les sons iti tiie world or even more could be eliminated. That seems like a broad statement, but let us look Into It Peo ple sometimes have to live a long time and have luird experience give them many a knock before they show symp toms of It in the ordei-ng of their lives, and similarly they have to study a long time before they, ha vo It In their music. The difference between many 'of the prodigies and the normal youngster Is merely In the one an Inherent musical common sense nnd In the other a lack of it. Everybody will agree that the common sense way Is to do things the easiest way in the long run. Any normal man or woman, if they were going to a certain village and saw a signpost, at a fork In the roads, telling which one to take, would never dream of going down the other. Tet how many ' students blindly go on reading music. calmly Ignore guiae posts of flng erings, phrase marks or expression. Common sense says.

Common sense should tsll students when they have done a thing j wrong once not to' do it again, but the next time .they arrive In the same situ ation, they are so often too busy to use common sense. Just as people need, the experience of others to guide them ln their lives so the student of muaic needs a teacher to guide hKp over the pitfalls of his art, but If ha would only keep bis common sense to the fore, he would save so much time. Common sense tells us to make hante slowly be thorough every minute, end follow the signs. Common sense lsused In varying de gree, according to the person and his ex periences. The great artists use the largest amount ot it in their -performing, the greal teachers la their teaching and the great students In their studying.

Alma Cluck, soprano, who wl! be heard at the Brandeis theater on Monday after noon, January 26, In company with Bfrun Zlmballat, celebrated Russian violinist began her career in America as an or phan girl from Roumanla.

Metropolitan Opera house, and that a few years later her name would be on the Hps of every mu sic lover from tbe Atlantlo to the Pacific.

The program selected by Rudolph iSsns at his recent rocltal was one which mlRht well erve as a niodeil for pianists. The contrasts In the selections were striking, and thoy were so arranged with regard to one another that each apiwaied to Its best advantage. The group of moduiu numbers presented were out of the ordi nary, yet Upon thinking back over them there is not one but which had musical merit. The writer has heatd an unusual n mount of praise for the work of Mr. Jean Duffield, who gave the program, as sisted by Mrs, Louise Jansen-Wylle, at the meeting of the f Tuesday Morning Musical club, last week, It was said that Mr. Duffield really outdid himself In the excellence of his performance, and that Mrs. Wj lie's singing was especially gratifying. ' It was with grief that the many Omaha friends of Madame Gerville-Reache heard of her recent death.
