O
NE of the rareat of dramatic
treat la to watch an actor so
wonderfully rifted aa Alia
N'aalmova, enacting tne life of
a character, with which she
haa perfect sympathy and to
whnee every mnotljn ahe fivea the warm
vat and lulled of personal endorsement.
Such a treat waa given to Omaha laat
week, at the Orpheum, and that Omaha
doea appreciate art la proven by the fact
that the demand for altting-a at the
theater waa euch aa taxed It to the ut
most at each of the fourteen perform
ances at which "War Bride" waa pre
sented. - Nothing; this great actress has
done here approaches her work In the role
of Joan, the wife who revolted at the
profanation of marriage under the plea of
military exigency, who could not calmly
think of women as mere brood mares,
utilised to replenish the. population de
stroyed by war, end who protested to the
utmost against this degredatlon of the
god-glvcn function of motherhood. 8he
loved her husband, and hers was the
love that la made perfect in sancti
fied marriage, but ahe could not
and would not bring into the world a
child whose Ufa 'would - be under the
menace of militarism. The ' play is
strongly . written, one of the few of Its
kind that actually presents Its appeal
with direct and Irresistible force ' In the
printed word; when Illuminated by the
fierce genlua of this Hussion woman, It
glows with an intensity that shows all
i xi plainly the hldeousneaa that lies i.
'jehitid the battle line. War's horrors
are sufficiently shocking, when viewed
upon the field, where t ,jands have
gone down to death, I. , -gied and torn
by the dreadful" enBtnei ol modern war
fare; but when It la luoked at from the
cold hearthstone of a desolated home
when the vision is dimmed by the scald
ing tears of a mother, a sister, or a
widow, when the shout of 'the ''victor, is
hushed in the sob of the bereaved, the
moan of the helpless, the cry. of hungry
children. It takes on a terror that Is b
yond understanding, dreadfully crushing
la Its dumb helplessness. And this la
the . picture '.'War Brides" brings up
vividly, and the art of Alia Naxlmova
makes this all terribly real by her pre
sentation of this play. Omaha will always
look with pleasure to visits from her,
but will never expect her to excel the
Impression ahe baa made as Joan.
The red-letter event of the local the
atrical" season will occur at Poyd'a thea
ter tonight, when the New Tork Winter
Garden management will present for a
week's engagement the latest of its suo
eesses, "Maid In America," which has to
Its credit a season of five montha at the
. famous playhouse on Broadway and four
; montha In Chicago. The entire original
company and spectacular equipment wilt
be transported here intact on the com
, panya own special train of nine cars.
' The success of the big revue haa been
', more than ordinarily noteworthy. Front
the time of its first performance In New

the musical score supplied by Slgmuad

questionably serve aa magnet to attract
huge audiences during the week.
In the leading comedy role will be seen '
Florence Moore, while the dancing con-'
tlngent Is -headed by Mile. Dasie, who'
haa added new laurels to her reputation
. of being the world's greatest dancing '
genius and pantomlmlst Others of the 1

As la usual with Winter Garden enter
tainments, the aoenio equipment la of the
startling and novel sort. In the two acts
"What Happened to Mary," an old
fashioned love story with an oyster ship
ping village on Chesapeake bay and then
New York for locale, will serve as an
excellent background for Edward Lynch
and associate players at the Brandela
theater th!s week, comenclng with the
matinee todav.
.Much happens to Mary from the time
she leaves the Island, where she has
been fathered and mothered by Captain
Joglfer, a Jolly old salt (Horace Porter),
who believes that "mights and Its make
a lot of trouble," until she lands safe
and sound In the arms' of John Willis
(Mr. Lynch), the crabbed, woman-hater,
In whose office she Is employed aa typ
ist. It Is in New York ' that almost
everything happens to Mary, but Mary
finds the world la a pretty decent place
after all. "It's not the house that'
bad, but ths folks that's rotten," quot
ing the .lodging boose keeper (Dlan
DeWar). It will be Miss McGrane'a
week . at the ' Brandela as the part of
Mary requires her almost constant pres
ence on the stage during the four acts.
All the atock favorltea will have an op
portunity to shine, from Holllster Pratt.
In dress clothes as a "gentleman," to
the Island store-keeper, Mary's uncle
(Arthur Ritchie), who aella a "toon" on
the vk-trola with every 6-cent dish of
Ice cream. Miss Dale will appear to ad-i
vantage aa the wronged, stenographer,
and Mr. Fox will have a light comedy
part In ''Tuck Wlntergreen," the coun
try sport. Miss Lowe will have another
good "mother" part. Mr. Ritchie, the
stage director, has provided some real
istic atoge setting for the play, especially
for the first act, showing Motes Island,
with the ships sailing at sundown.
As a special added attraction for Car
nival week, Mr. Walter Adams, the Ak
Sar-Ben dancer, late of "The Isle of
Pep," known professionally as "Gal
atea," will appear at every performance
of "What Happened to. Mary," present
ing his latest dances.' Mr. Adams wil
be assisted by Mr. Lionel Tobias, a wel!
known professional.
The matinees at the Brandula this
week will be on Sunday, Wednnsday,
Thursday and Saturday, instead of
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, as
