front page article, says this of him:
"To say that his work Is marvelous and
wonderful would not fully express It: In

Another engagement both unique and
Important 's announced for the Orpheum
this week. Through the popular medium
of vaudeville Omaha theater-goers are
going to be privileged to see Miss Mary
Shaw, who Is America's most prominent
exponent of Ibsen and who Is most
prominent of all our women stars In
working to promote and sustain the In
tellectual drama. For years Miss Shaw
was a member of the Auguetin Daly
company. Then followed engagements )n
support of Julia Marlow, Mrs. Flske,
Joseph Jefferson and Modjeska. For
some years following these engagements.
Miss Shaw devoted herself exclusively to
Ibsen. Shaw, Stiinberg and Ginoova. and
It was during thla period of her career
that she created in America, the title
role in Shaw's much
"Mrs. Warren's Profession." Miss Shaw
haa set a high purpose for her work, and
while she never will be able to realize
ber Ideal In vaudeville, her offering
therein will be another "tabloid stimulus"
for the better drama.
terpretatlon In rendition of his solos and
pieces being different from other per
former s.
"His entire work Is completely mem
orised. He can stand any length of time
and render one ploce after the other. Five
or six flats, or five or six sharps are his
favorite keys, for instance, the Pader
ewskl "Minuet" and then right into
Dvorak's "Humoreske."
Toung Green began playing on a xylo
phone that he made himself when he. was
11 years old and at the age of IJ he
played such pieces as "Poet and Peasant
Overture' with his father's band. Begin
ning at the age of U he took up the
study of piano with Prof. Slgmund
Landsberg. Mr. Landsberg often re
marked on his talent and predicted a
great future for him.
In the summer of 1914 he played an en-

gagement of three months in Fremont
and during that time work el up his
vaudeville act. On hia way to Chicago
he atopped off and gave a recital In
Harden Bros." music rooms.
In Chicago he played at a number of
theaters. Including tbe Great Northern
and Hippodrome, and his playing was
the talk of Chicago. One evening he
played at the Dearborn hotel and a few
days later was with Bert Brown, cornet
soloist of Pryor'a band, on a program at
the Illinois Athletlo club, scoring a big
hit. On May 16 he algned a contract with
Edgar A. Benson, who handles most of
the band and orchestra work In Chicago
to become soloist.
A curious fact In regard to young Green
is that he had a youthful ambition to be
come a prize fighter, whloh was headed
off, not without a rood deal of difficulty,
by his father.
"Birth of a Nation" .
Stripped Down to
Fighting Strength
Come Idea of the Intensity of the action
contained In the 15,000 feet of pictorial
grandeur that go to make up D. W.
Orlffith'a "The Birth of a Nation" may
be gathered from the fact that lOno
feet of living photograph waa made of
the subject, from which to cull HOW feet
less than 10 per cent of the total, of the
absolute punch and glory of the aubject.
As Immense battleships strip to ' fight
ing strength In time, of action," so this
masterful pictorial realization waa
pruned down to nothing but sheer vital
ity. It will make you love. It wilt make
you hate; It will charm and thrill you
beyond your belief to be either charged
or thrilled. It will stir your fire, pa
triotism and blood, and mane you yell
and cry and groan, It will force you to
grasp the back of the seat in front of
you until your fingers ache, and then
relax them aa some touching, tender
scene appears. Tou will oe taken out
of yourself and become frantic and hoarse
from your shouts of cnthus.asm or dis
may, but no one will notice your actions
for they are all doing the same, aa eyea
and eara and feelings are being borne
along by the eight and sound before
you.
These are a few of the never-to-be-forgotten
sensations you will receive for
your money when the great show with
Its accompanying symphony orchestra
setting, opens at the llranctels theater tonight.

Griffith Knows
The Human Heart
Of Mr. Griffith, the renowned producer
of "The Birth of a Nation" whloh opena
St the Brandels theater tonight. It la said
that he Is an authority on the beat of
the human heart, that he feels to an
atom what retards and what accelerates
the rhythm of that suseeptlble organ;
moreover, that he Is master of the means
any other film star, will be the Hipp by which Its contractions and dilations
In the theater are accomplished. '
He calculates with the uncanny In
tuition of a genius; he knows color and
sound and motion to their ultimate de
tail, and ha haa the nerve and the
vision to assemble them in a vast
PRE3ENTG
Now let's look look a little farther Into the vehicles In which
they appear.
Costello Is here Sunday and Monday In a feature entitled The
Man Who Couldn't Deat God." We admit thla is a queer title, bat
we're had some very flattering reports on the picture, which Is built
along the lines of a novel meto-drama, and which la far from
being tame. '
' Dennett comes Tuesdsy, Wednesday and Thursday to 'Damaged
Goods." This Is a story of the terrible consequences of vioa and
physical ruin that follow abuse of the moral law and should be seen
by thousands. During the engagement of this picture no one under
18 years of age will be admitted, and the performances will start at
12 noon. We advice your coming down in the afternoon If possible
to avoid tho large night crowds.
Ethel narrymore will be seen In a new drama entitled "Tho
Final Judgment." 'Tls one of the beat vehicles Miss Barrymore
has ever hnd and will later be made Into a drama for Miss Barry
m ore's use on the legitimate stage. This is a semi-problem play,
lavishly produced and magnificently acted.
Come Down and See Each Picture
-You'll Like Them All.
When W. W. (Billy) Cole returned to
Omaha a few weeks ago and took charge
of the Krug theater, which he opened
thirteen years ago as the Trocadero, he
remarked to a friend. "I made many
friends here when I Had Krug park and
also with the Trocadero. and it Is my
purpose to come back with a stock com
pany at the Krug, presenting the best
dramas and eomcdlea at prices which will
pack tLe bouse. I Intend to run the house
so that ar.y child or woman itendlng un
accompanied will rel absolutely saie. I
am going to make the Krug theater the
home of permanent stock productions."
Mr. Cole has engaged the North Bros,
stock company, which has been playing
w cmauiis mi ropeaa and which or
ganisation closed an engagement there
last week. The players will be here during
the early part of the week and will re
hearse "The Great John Ganton," which
will be the opening bllL The opening has
oeea wi tor next Saturday evening. Mr.
Cole waata his Omaha friends to attend
thla opening performance and see this
strong play, which was written from
story which was run as a prise-winning
story In the Saturday Evening Post. The
story is woven around tha life nt v n
Armour, alt.vigh the name of the great
packer is not AMea in the play. The play
appeals to everybody. TMa play will be
