"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

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
