ANAGER BU'RGE83 mad an
announcement on bis return
from the east on Thursday
that will be the cause of anu
ine regret in Omaha that
Miss McHenry had resinned as
leading woman for the stock company at
the Boyd, and would leave on next Sat
urday night She goes to Ottawa, Canada,
where she has a lease on a theater, and
will head her own -company there. Miss
McHenry has made herself very dear to
a lot of Omaha folks by her uniformly
good acting- and her very charming per
sonality, and she will be much missed
here. Miss Gates, who is to succeed her,
comes with the best of recommendation
in' the way of experience with good conv
panles, and Manager Burgess feels -sure
she will please hd patrons. She opens at
the Boyd next Sunday night.
Guy Bates Post will reappear at the
Brandeis theater thla evening In Richard
. Walton Tully's spectacular Persian ro
mance, "Omar, the Tentmaker." When
seen here nearly a year ago this attrac
tion achieved much success of the season
and the return engagement has been
anade to meet the many requests, from
persons here unable to see the perform
ance on its first visit. .
Mr. Tully has woven the story of his
Persian romance around the life, times
and "Rubalyat" of Omar Khayyam, the
poet and mystic ot the eleventh century.
Mr. Tulljj not only wrote "Omar, the
Tentmaker," but he personally produced
it, and In association with Wilfred Buck
land designed the vivid and colorful set
tings. Pictorlally it Is doubtful If "Qnar,
the Tentmaker' has ever been surpassed
upon the American stage. -A company of
, nearly 100, clad in the brilliant raiment
of the 'orient, pass to and fro in tha
moonlit, roee-rcented garden; - come and
go among the huddled, teeming bazars of
NaUhapur; attend judgment in the im
posing Hall of Royalty; seek their fates
in the narrow streets, tha taverns, the
mosquea, and the busy potter's stall. All
the, pictorial delights and charms of old
Persia have bee.n transferred to the -stage
with fidelity. .
The play itself recounts the love-life
and wanderings of Omar Khayyam, the
Persian poet, roystlo and epicurean of the
eleventh century. How Omar wooed the
beautiful Slilreen in the glowing flower
garden at sunaet; how he remainud faith
ful to her through stressful years; how
he nought and found and lost and found
again his happiness; how he defied big
otry; suffered unspeakable tortures;
delved into the basic riddles of human
existence, have all been commingled ef
fectively in a romantic tale. Guy Bates
Post brings to his portrayal of the lov
able Omar the ripest attainments of his
career. The character of Omar is a com
plex one, and without slighting the deli
cious humanity of the man, his fondness
for laughter and wine, his ready wit. bis
caustic tongue, his scornful pen. Mr. Post
also emphasise the deeper and more
philosophical phase of the man's natur.
The numerous company in support of Mr.
Post unite their talents to produce a most
remarkable and praiseworthy enaemble.
Mr. Post's engagement Is for four nights
starting tonight, and there will be a mati
nee on Wednesday.
After running for an entire year at the
Casino theater. New York, "High Jinks"

day only, matinee and evening, Saturday,
April 17. The piece, which is described as
a musical jollity, was put on undoi the
personal direction of Arthur Hammer
stein, and is from the pen of Otto Hauer
bach ' and Rudolf Frtml, who are best
known locally as authors of "The Fire
fly" and "Naughty Marietta."The cast
which will present "High Jinks" Is prac
tically the Same as that which was seen
at the Casino. The changes are minor
ones.- Tha leading part is carried by
Stella Mayhew, assisted by . Eugene
O'Rourke. Blllle Taylor, Philip Ryley,
Emma Francis. Adele Ardsley, Paul Por-
casl, Irene Duke, Ada Meade, Bernard
Gorcey, Cecelia Hoffman, Dorothy Wade,
Augustus SchulU andDot Allen. 'High

bers. The main theme of tha muslo la

has had since "The Merry Widow." Barl

it u a singular coincident that In
practically every play that MIbb Blllle
Burke tia appeared in since Charles
rrohman made her a star, the pretty
actress has had to "pop the question
to some man or other. In "Jerry," the
comedy she brings to the Brandeis Thea
ter for two days, April X and 27, she does
all of the love-making. In this play MIm
Burke Impersonates a young girl from
Chicago who falls in love with her unfs

that engagement and capture the man
for herself. Oh, "he loves her all light,
but'he's slow from Philadelphia.
Dramatic critics have vied in lavishing
prakie upon the five star organization
which Joseph Brooks is conducting over
the country In a presentation of "The
New Henrietta," The stars are William
H. Crane, Thomas W. Ross, Maclyn Ar-
buckle, Amelia Bingham and Mabel
Taliaferro. That this fine performance
will receive the adulation of our com
munity goes without saying. Already
the box-office-is reserving order for the
two days' engagement at tha ' Brandeis
theater, April 30 and May 1.
When the last scene of "Forty-five
Minute from Broadway" showed Kid
Burn turning over to Mary the old man'
will, which he had found and waa tempted
to destroy, because the possession of
riches wduld put her oat of his reach,
the impression was given that they were
married and lived happily ever after.
Just to show that fate had other things
In" store for Kid Burns, Mr. Cohan wrote
"The Talk of New York," and that is to
be played at the Boyd theater this after
noon, and all this week, with matinees on
Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday

of Kid Burns, which Is of much mora
importance in this than In the other play.
He will sing four or five songs, too, which
