BURGESS HAKES A
NEW DEALFOR BOYD
Will Open Theater Labor Day
Under Five-Year Contract With
Great Producer!.
GOOD FLAYS AT LOW FEICES
1
W. J. Burgess, manager of the
Boyd theater, has just closed a deal
that has been pending" for some time
that fixes the policy of the Boyd the
ater for a term of five years at least.
It involves one of the greatest
amusement combinations formed in
late years and means a return to con
ditions that prevailed before the era
of high prices paved the way for the
popularity of moving pictures. Briefly,;
the first four days of the weeek at
the Boyd will be given to the presen
tation of first-class drama at popular
prices. This does not mean that the
quality of either play or company is
to be lowered, ut it does mean that
the New York managers have at last
awakened to the fact that the plan of
charging Broadway prices for a No.
2 company is not a winner.
Biggest Firm in Deal. '
.' On the New York end ofi the con
tract are the greatest of all the big
Sroducers, Klaw & Erlanger, the Shu
erts, William A. Brady, Cohari &
Harris, Oliver Morosco, Selwyn &
Co., A. E. Woods and others whose
names loom big in the theater world.
Each of these firms will have one or
more companies on the circuit, which
will be compact and includes theaters
in the more important cities of the
United States. Seventy-five cents is
set as the top price for the seats, and
from this down. Only good plays will
be presented, and by the best of ac
tors. No idea of a return to the
"blood and thunder" melodrama is entertained.-
- - :.
' . These companies will appear at the
Boyd each week, beginning on Sun
day evening and finishing on Wednes
day, with matinees on Wednesday
afternoon. The last three nights of
the week are to bee taken by the
Shobert ' high-class attractions at
standard prices. This means the Boyd
will return to the policy that proved
most popular in the history of the
. house. - ' . ,
Most Popular in Omaha.
Fifteen years ago a similar plan was
inaugurated by Manager Burgess,
then in control of the theater, and it
will be easily recalled that the follow
ing three years were the most popular
the Boyd ever had. When Stair &
Havlin took over the Krug theater
and the Boyd began playing only the
high-grade attractions, the change
came. -"i...
Mnager .Burgess announces the
opening date under the new policy
for Labor day, the first Monday in
September. The name oi the company
and play will be given out later. In
the meantime . the theater will be
' thoroughly overhauled and restored
to its attractiveness as a splendid
home for the drama. , i

; Marion aside into a room?" asked Mr.
Dady.
"No, sir."
' "Were you on intimate terms with
Marion?" asked Attorney Potter on
cross-examination.
' "Not particularly Just like others."
', "Did Marion ever tell you of inti
macy with any boy?" ,
"No. sir." ,
"Did you and Marlon talk of Orpet
after the nartv?"
"Yes, Marion said she had heard
that Orpet was engaged to Celeste
Youker. She said Joteohine had writ
ten Orpet about it, but had received
no reply. Marion didn't know what
to think of the report
. .The witness said that she and Mar.
ion went to bed about 11 p. m. and
talked till 12:30, largely about Orpet,
out sne recollected little about it '
' "Did she say anything about Or
pet' s character, his temperament?" in
terrupted Mr. Dady.
She said Will had a bad temper and
- that Mrs. Lambert had forbidden him
. to come to the house," answered Miss
Russell. ,
"You have recollected quite a few
things since you said there was noth
ing more. Miss Russell. Do you re
call anything more?"
The girl's voice had grown steadily
: weaker and the "no" which she re
turned was almost inaudible. Then
from the depths of her memory she
brought this which set those Who
heard buzzing:
, "Marion said that Jo Davis liked
Orpet; that's why she was slways
coming to see her (Marion)."
. Marion, witness said, confided that
she rather enjoyed seeing Orpet an-
fry. Once, "to spite him," she walked
ome from Sunday school with her
teacher.
"She said she knew that Will would
'come around,' " the witness said. ;

Byram Fears That . ,
Oars Will Be-Scarce
Again This Fall
(Prom a Staff Correspondent )
Lincoln, June 17. (Special.) Vice
President H. E. Byram of the Bur
lington railroad called on the State
Railway commission today.
The visit of Mr. Byram was a so
cial one so far as anybody was able
to discover, but he did say that, the
prospects this year were such that the
car shortage would be a greater prob
lem to handle than in any previous
years.
He favors a law which would com-
fiel all roads receiving freight cars
rom other roads compelling them to
return them as soon as unloaded to
the road owning them.
He said that small roads which had
few cars used the cars of the larger
roads, thus making it difficult for the
latter to supply the demand.
