Maude Adams to
Play "Phoebe of the
Ringlets" Again
Miss Maude Adam come to the Bran
del theater for an engagement of two
day beginning Monday, May S. Miss
Adams has decided 40 present Barrie s
comedy, "Quality Street." throughout her
weatern tour. Thta play was originally
given Immediately after "The Little
'Minister." It haa alwaya been referred
to as one of the . actress' .biggest suc
cesses, and many people who did not
have an opportunity of viewing the work
when first given have been hopeful that
Mlsa Adam would revive it- This ah
ha don thl season and the work la
enjoying even greater popularity than it
did when It was first presented. The role
enacted by Mies Adams In the comedy
Is that of Phoebe- Throssell, and she Is
one of the most charming of sll the
Barvle heroines.
Citizen are urged to put forth a
special effort today and Saturday
to clean their yards and alleys. Be
ginning next Monday, the wagons ol
the city street maintenance depart
ment will collect this material with
out charge to householders.
The free collection will be re
stricted to such rubbish as may ordi
narily be raked up In yards, but will
inot Include ashes, garbage or general
household rubbish. The thought is
that householders who throw dis
carded articles ot.wear or such large
articles as old gasoline stoves Into
these heaps need not expect to have
the material hauled away by the city
free of charge.
Ashes Not Moved.
On the other hand, It Is explained that
the collectors will not draw th lire) too
closely. If there i an old pair of hoe
or a tin can or two In the heap of rub
bish no objection will be made. But ashes
will not be removed on this oocaslon.
Householders are expected to have their
ashes and discarded perambulator and
other articles hauled away by men who
make thla a business.
Health Commissioner Connell Is eo-op-
eratlng In this campaign by directing his
inspectors to serve notloes In case where
householders have allowed unsanitary ac
cumulations of rubbish In their yard or
alley. In such case removal la made
compulsory and come within the proV'
Ir.c of th health department.
Let Children Help. '
Th city official wish to awaken a
spirit of civic pride throughout the olty,
They bellcvu the school children of the
city could do much toward thla end end
on Saturday by spending a few hours
each. It Is stated that 3,000 school
children could on (Saturday make Omaha
a city beautiful If they would, by putting
forth a lettle fort, each taking pride
In hi or her own yard or alley.
It la requested that the heapa of rub-
blah which cltlsena would hav hauled
away by the city wagona on Monday, be
placed In convenient place go that the
man will have no difficulty In getting the
material.
The wagon will be started out early
