OB1N HOOD."
R produced at
I theater on
Wednesday, is acknowledged
to be the greatest masterpiece
of comic opera ever written by Ameri
cans. The charm of Reginald de Koven's
music Is as fresh today as when It waa
first enjoyed twenty-three years ago, and
the dialogue of Harry B. Smith Is aa
sparkling now as It waa then. Like a
fine old wine, "Robin Hood'' seems to
improve with age. It has stood the add
test of time because it is a real work of
art, and the genius which Inspired It
should gratify the pride of every Ameri
can. An opera of such merit as "Robin
Hood" demands a singing cast of the
highest order, and the coming production
fully meets this requirement, as the prin
cipals are all of the grand opera caliber.
Heading the cast la dainty Ivy Scott,
who made her debut at the Grand Opera
in Australia where she made an In
stantaneous success. In America she has
sung Madame Butterfly and "The Girl"
In "The Girl of the Golden West" for
Savage. Other popular members of last
season's company are Cora Tracy, who
sings Alan-a-Dale, and Ralph Eratnard,
who continuea In the title role. James
Stevens of the Chlcag Opera sines LHM
John, Marie McConnell sings Anabel, and
the pait of W'.ll Scarlet goes to Herbert
Watrous, the noted basso of the Metro
politan Opera company. The comedy
roles are admirably cared for by Phil
Branson as the Ixird High Sheriff, Tllllo
Salinger aa the buxom Dame Durdn, and.
Sol Solomon as the wily Sir Guy Gls
bourne. The thirty girls in the chorua
are not only pretty, but can sing and
they are accompanied by handsome,
manly men, also with voices. The de
Koven Opera company is1 a superior
organization with its personnel carefully
picked by the composer himself and Fred
Walker, who can always be depended
upon to send us something first class.
"Peg o' My Heart" will be seen at the
Brandels theater next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday with ma u no Saturday.
Manager Morosco has provided a cast of
unusual excellence thla season, having
personally selected every member from
the various companies en tour hint sea

O'Connor, one of his Pegs of last scam,
will be seen here in the title role, while

quired in saying that this will be one of
the season' most welcome offerings. The
play is a four-act comedy . drama by
Horace Hodges and T. Wlgney Percyval.
It served to establish Mr. Maude among
the greatest actors ever seen on the
American stage. Proof of the attractive
ness of star and play la the fact that
after his long engagement at Watlack'a
theater, New York, Mr. Maude returned
from a year on the road for a limited en
gagement at the Empire theater this fall
tlcally every performance.
Joe Weber, whose first claim to fame
was won as a member of the wonderful
firm of Weber & Fields, has become one
of the most Important producing man
agers of the modern stage. His latest
offering is "The Only Girl," a real com
edy, with music written by Henry Blos
som, who has supplied the books and
lyrics, and Victor Herbert, who composed
the music. When It was first offered In
New Tork at the beginning of last season
It scored an immediate success and it
was one of the musical productions that
ran out the entire season. Mr. Weber
was particularly fortunate in securing a
play that was a "real comedy" aa well as
being tuneful and which also had the ad
vantage of being presented1 by a well
balanced company, which, while contain
ing no stars, gave a wonderfully smooth
and even performance. It is to be the
first attraction of the new year at the

Still More "Triangle" Dope
It's not luck, as some people say, that put the
STRAND THEATER over. While it may sound egotis
tical for us to Bay so, this theater haa proven a suocees
simply because we know our business.
We haven't any better picture machines than any
othor theaters, it is simply "those little tricks of the
trade" that come by years of varied experience that en
able us to project the clear picture we do, and bo on
throughout our whole house, including our musio, adver
tising, etc.
This very same statement holds good of the TRI
ANGLE people they liaven't just broken into the pic
ture game, as hundreds of old theatrical producers and
managers have. They have grown up with moving pic
tures from the "bad old days" not "good" when mov
ing picture managers were looked upon with contempt,
and when a one reel western was considered the essence
of film showmanship. Step by step these producers have
advanced the film until today "THE BIRTH OF THE
NATION" holds the theatrical reoord in every city and
town of any size in the United States, including Omaha,
as to the number of performances shown and the admis
sion charged. .
We have run Vampire picture after Vampire picture
until we absolutely felt like calling the Strand "a cham
ber of horrors," but these seemed to be what the public
demanded, and, therefore, what the manufacturers made.
However, thank goodness, there has been a change
in public sentiment, and the first to notice this change
were the TRIANGLE producers, and it is with a great
deal of relief that we can promise you hereafter nice,
breezy stories, faultlessly produced and holding the in
terest of the spectator from start to finish.
Wo are paying over twice the film rental for TRI
ANGLE pictures that we did before, and surely unless
we were sure that we would get the difference in film
superiority, we would not be fools enough to part with
our cash so easily. .
We are so enthused over TRIANGLE productions
that wo want you to feel the same way, and when we
present them to you, beginning Sunday, January 2, we
are sure a new epoch in film history will be written in
Omaha.
Our opening bill will be DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS,
one of America's most popular younger stars, in a rip
snorting story of love, Indians, Mexicans and incidentally
some "pep" just the kind of a romantic drama of
modern times everyone enjoys, and called "the Lamb,"
plus RAYMOND HITCHCOCK, MACK SENNETT AND
MABEL NORMAND in a KEYSTONE wonder, "MY
VALET." Everybody knows Hitchcock and his alibil
ity to make people laugh we'll couple this to such per
formers as Sennett and Normand and you are going to
laugh yourself to death.
Follow this up Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
with Dustin Farnum in "THE IRON STRAIN," to
gether with Charles Murray in a Keystone scream en
titled "A Game Old Knight," and you will begin to 6ay,
"Will the wonders never cense!"
We want you to "get the TRIANGLE habit," be
cause we know you will like these pictures better than
any you ever saw.
After nil we can say and print "the proof of the pud
ding is in the eating," so again reminding you that we
commence the TRIANGLE program Sunday, January 2,
just one week from today, allow us to wish you the sea
son's greetings and remain,
Triangularly yours,
