nin OMAHA SUNDAY BW: MAY 2. 1015, 5 B f hi 1 f; ! bra! ' - :v "Maude Adams in'Quihly Sheet', At the rjndeis t'Cir impulio Is felt to go Into detail In it ferringr to the brief vlalt of Mr. W. H. Crane and his associates during: the last days 'of the week, but quite a rood deal has already been aid about this, and for the time It will be passed with a simple statement that no Omaha audience was ever so privil eged as that which sat In the Brandcls 1 on Pride? ntffht, and waa so generously taken Into the Joyous ceremony that marked the seventieth birthday of that rare man and wonderful actor, William H. Crane. It will be a fondly cherished memory for all of thorn, and for no one more than for Mr. Crane himself. From this wo may turn to the coming of an other wonderful artist, whose visits are as welcome as any could be, Maude Adams, In "Quality Street," In which sho has a role that seems to many to be the bent she has ever done. Among these may be listed the genius of this depart ment, who frankly confesses that In nothing, not even Maggie Shand, has the really honest-to-goodness Maude Adams shone as it does in Probe-of-the-Hlng-leu. ' . Charles,, Frohman will present Maude Adams at the Brandels theater Tuesday and Wednesday with matinee Wednesday, In a revival of J. M. Barrle's comedy, "Quality Street." It 1s fourteen years ' since Mlos Adams was first seen in this sentimental comedy by the clever Scotch dramatist. Many people . will recall it with pleasure, and to any number of Mlsa Adams' admirers her portrayal of Phoebe Throssell will remain always on of her most alluring and charming por traits. The revival of the work waa not the result of any sudden fancy on the part of the actress. When aha laid the comedy aside it was because ahe was compelled to by previous arrangements. She always Intended bringing the work back into the light, and this season it ao happened that ahe was able to do so. The revival seems decidedly opportune and Judging from the manner of its reception the little lady made no mistake In again taking It up. So successful has the revival been that It has simply pushed the other playa In her repertoire Into the background, and upaet all of her original plana for the season. "Quality Street" waa the second of the Barrle plays to be given in thia country by Miss Adams, the first having been ""The Little Minister." It has been said that Barrle touohed up the work previous to its re vlvaJ. - It seems so opportune that to many people the only way that It could be made o was by a little freshening. But this Is an error.' The play is now being given as It waa originally written. Aa will be recalled, the period, of the play la a time when England'a ahorea were menaced by Napoleon. There la a military flavor about the comedy, but it ia the flavor of the early nineteenth century. The atory deals with the love affair of Phoebe Troxeell and the young doctor, Velentlne Brown. The sentiment of thin work that is laid In a little street which gives to the play its title. Is leav ened by aome delightful comedy. The four acts . of the play are tastefully ataged. Surrounding Mlsa Adams U a competent company. Miss Zoe Barnett aa the atar In lier former auccess, ."The Red Hose," John ('. Kisher'a production, and a suppirttng cast including Maurice Dany, Waynne Nunn. Joseph Standiah, Henri Ja Bontl, r.corgc Williams, Wilfred Toung, Marion Carson, Chat lotto Gale, also the same dancing chorus, which .played for one solid year at the Globe theater. New York, will be seen at the Brandcla thea ter next Saturday and Sunday, May g and 9, with matinee Sunday afternoon. "The Hed Rose'" Is the result of the col laboration of Harry B. an J Robert B. Smith, with music by Robert Hoed Bow era. The locale of the story Is in Paris and deals with student life tn the gay French capital. The performance ia said to be cbic and smart, yet does not con tain a suggestion or risque line. The' chorus la unusually largo and Is said to Include some stunning yvung Women. One of the features of the dancing numbers is "The Kox Trot," which created noth ing Its than a sensation in New York. ' This Is only one of the dancing treats, aa Jack Mason haa staged several dances in which will be introduced the fox trot, rosxlxe, hesitation, one-step and the whirlwind dance. Hugh Herbert, a character actor of un usual endowment, supported by a com pany of six people, is the stellar feature of this week at the Orpheum. This ex- cedent cast presents a new one-act play'Perial palace, 8t. Petersburg, Russia. An called "The Sons of Abraham," which la the joint work of Mr. Herbert and George V. Hobart. A domestic episode In the life of a prosperoua Jew ia the theme of the playlet. Twin brothera are Charles e 1 c)adie Ai (he Qrfi 3am Howe At-jthe Giyeky and Henry Rigoletto, who. have an act of exceptional versatility. They are In strumentalists, jugglers, magicians, mimics, illusionists, acrobats and aerial gymnasts. Not. only in personal appear ance, but In entertaining ability the one la the duplicate of the other. Bright en tertainment is to be offered by George Whiting and Sadie Rurt. - Their skit Is called "Song-Saytnga." "The New Chauf feur" la th,e title of the rttetch to be presented by the diverting comedy team, Jamea Huasey and Jack ; Boyle. The anxieties of tfhe driver and the owner of an automobile are the basis of the laugh producing qnallties of the sketch. One of the most amusing dog acts ever to ap pear in vaudeville la the - one to be presented by Trevitt'a Military canines. In the hands of Cervo, the plano-ac-cordlan becomes an Instrument full of warmth and delicate musical expression. He Is recognized as a virtuoso in this particular field of melody. Harry Wat klns ts as much a comedian aa he Is a contortionist. All the Indescribable kinks of his pliable body are said to be curiously farcical. Once again this week the Orpheum Travel Weekly Is to project in teresting view In motion pictures of curious placea the world over. a At the Boyd thla week the play will present a aet of characters that are the social antithesis of those who have been aeen there lately, for the scene will be aliifted from the . underworld of New lork to the realm of the very amartest circle of the exclusive act of London. "The Butterfly on the Wheel" Is a com edy of high life In England and deala with another and more Interesting phase of the eternal triangle. Peggy Admaston gets It into her pretty head she is weary of the life she leads with her sober- minded husband. Right Hon. Georgo Ad rr.aston, M. P., and party leader, but when she geta on the witness stand In tne dl crce trial, under the merciless examina tion of her husband's attorney, she finds that the law haa made no provision for ajch things aa a woman'a heart, let olone the vagaries that may enter her frt 'olous head. She is. Indeed, the butterfly on the wheel, and the wheel turns with re lentless force. The play- ends in a com p!cte and pleasant surprise, however. It has a very fine vein of comedy to offset itc serious passages, and will be found cne of the, best things the company has yet done. Mr. Lynch will play Roderick Collingwood, Mr. Llndholm will be Ad maston, Mr. Phelps will play Iord Kller dlne, a fine comedy role; Mr. Price Is cast flr Robert Fyffe, Admaston's attor ney; Miss Gates is to play Peggy Admas ton, a fine emotional character, and Miss Dewar Is to play Lady Atwlll, a good comedy part. Othera In the company will be well placed. On Thursday afternoon Manager Burgeaa will begin hia series of "tango" matinees, when dancing will fol low the ierf orniani e on the stage. For the special (Tuesday night attraction Mr. Phelps and Miss Keppler, assisted by eight young women danceis, will put on a special singing and dancing program. "In Russia" la the title of the new two-act burlesque that Earn Howe has written fur the use of his popular Love Makers company. It will be seen for the first time here at the Gayety theater this afternoon. It Is presented In four a ts, all of which ar described aa exceedingly beautiful, notably that showing the liu- other acene la tha Imperial ball in the grand salon in the czar's palace.
