"SNOW WHITE" BOOST
Crusade for Movies for Chil
dren in Omaha Bears Fruit
from One Film.
COMMITTEE IS FRANK
The women of Omaha arc showing
considerable interest in trying Jo
provide suitable programs of photo
plays for children. Recently a spe
cial showing of "Snow White" was
held at the Sun theater for the bene
fit of those interested. They found
the film suitable, as the following
statements indicate:
"Grimm's fairy tale. "Snow Wliitci"
is full of life and spontaneity there
is not a dull moment in the entire
play. It is replete with beauty and
picturesquencss.
"Exacted entirely by children, it
makes a strong appeal to parents and
children alike.
"At a private exhibition of this mo
tion picture the grown-up spectators
were as delighted with its charm and
humor as any child.
"I recommend 'Snow White' to all
clubs in Nebraska and Iowa inter
ested in better films for children.
"MRS EDWARD SYTERT, -"President
Omaha Woman's Club."
"The educational committee of the
Omaha Woman's club, who are work
ing for better films and special mo
tion picture programs for children,
heartily endorse the fairy story,
"Snow White," as presented by Mr.
Van Husan at a private exhibition
at the Sun theater Thursday morning,
iJecember 7.
"MRS. W, S. KNIGHT,
"Chairman i
"MRS. J. H. DUMONT,
MRS. GEORGE B. DARR."
"The Purple Mask" Shown
To Exhibitors at Empress
The first episodes of "The Purple
Mask,", a Universal serial photoplay,
were shown to the Omaha exhibitors
at the Empress Saturday. The pho
tography was exceptionally gooft and
the settings were above the ordinary
for serials. Francis Ford and Grace
Cunard play the leading roles and
are the authors of the scenario, which
starts off with fast action. High so
ciety and the Paris underworld scenes
are reproduced successfully. The se
rial will be finished in fifteen episodes
of two-reels each.
PIPES BORROWED BY SCOTCH
Invention of Bagpipes Smothered in
the Dust oi Ancient History.
Neither Scotland nor Ireland can
claim to have invented the bagpipes.
Greeks, Romans and Chinese all
played bagpipes of sorts long before
the time of Christ, and the instrument
actually figures on one of the coins
of Nero, who may have played it
The Breton bignon, the Calabrian
rampogna, the German sackpfeife and
the French corneraeuse are all bag
pipes under different names.
It was actually a Scotsman, and no
less a man than, the lord advocate of
the time, who publicly declared fifty
years ago that "the bagpipe is an
English instrument, essentially Eng
lish; the English were the original
bagpipers." He pointed out that,
while Shakespeare often speaks of
bagpipes, he never docs so in
"Macbeth," and that it is in Lincoln
shire and Yorkshire that he localizes
the pipes. To Chaucer and Spencer
also they are English. James IV
and other Scottish kings paid for "In
glis pyparis" at their court, while Ed
ward I, Edward III, and Henry VI
and Henry the VIII seem to have had
native pipers. The Highlanders
never used the pipes in war before
the fifteenth " century; the harp
was Scotland's instrument London
Chronicle.
SCHOOL POLICE IN C0TJRTES7
New Members of New York's
Finest Told How to Be
Good.
"Courtesy" was the theme of Frank:
A. Lord, a New York city deputy
police commissioner, who instructed
a group of new policemen in their
duties, the other day. Telling them
how to act when they appeared in po
lice court trials, he said:
"Make up your mind that you will
under no circumstances get angry, no
matter how great the temptation. If
you are insulted by a shyster lawyer,
you have to take it. That is your
fosition. I have to receive insulting
etters from ignorant citizens fre
quently, and I sit down and dictate
courteous replies. I know that many
of the things they write about are
none of their business, and I would
like to address them in another way
entirely, but I don't.
"The good-natured habit is just as
easy to form as any other. It is just
as easy to sit or stand and smile
when a shyster lawyer attempts to
make a fool of you and so have him
make a fool of himself. Don' show
your teeth and snap back." New
York Times.
DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK BACK
Consolation Tendered Condemned
Soldier About To Be
Shot.
Here's a story just back from the
Mexican border, only the returned
guardsman who told it to me put in
all the dialogue. A detail of infantry
men are marching through the Mexi
can desert with a prisoner, who is sus
pected of being a spy. The soldier
who marches nearest the prisoner
constantly and profanely observes
upon the discomfort of the whole
proceeding. After miles of "hiking,"
a village is reached, and here positive
evidence against the prisoner is ob
tained. There is a drumhead court
martial and the prisoner is marched
out to be shot. The profane soldier
is ordered to bandage the prisoner's,
eyes. As he is doing so he continues
his fault finding.
"What's the matter with you." says
the prisoner. "Look at me. I'm not
saying anything, and I've got to be
shot."
"Yes," replies the soldier. "That's
where you've got the blessed best of
it. You don't have to walk back."
