Kinc Fireplace Goods -Sunderland Jack Spiegel's ''Merry Rounders" Have Much Merit Newness fairly vibrates through "The Merry Rounders," Jack Spiegel's burlesque offering at the Gayety theater for the week, which burst in upon Omaha last night for its debut. Xot an old song, not an old joke, not even an old dance is perpetrated upon the audience. The show is a carnival of novelties, replete with clean entertainment. . George F. Hayes is a real comedian. He personifies (the word is used ad visedly) a very rural citizen. He doesn't attempt to portray the rustic citizen, whose whiskers are - play grounds for field mice. He merely acts the part of a farmer, who has come to town to see the sights. He sees them (mostly feminine) and wins the audience with his wit and his inhaled "Gosh dern ye," which twangs through his nose as though hay were his daily diet and cows his customary . companions. Then there's Abe Reynolds, who is laugh-nurse de luxe, a comedy crea or who incubates the germ of a smile into an uproar ous na-na. xnose wno lave urea or otner comeaians on ine hiirlesmip stapp will annrenate the reteshing mannerisms ot Mr. Rey nolds, who acts as well as speaks his lines. Frank Ward has a finger-dancing specialty, which nets much applause. He gets two dolls (real china, inani mate things) and puts them through terpsichoreau stunts, which are as unique as they are clever. Also, Frank himself has a pair of educated feet which twirl at a merry clip, when music entices them. Eugene Mac Gregor is a good singer, a good dan cer and. a good "straight man."- One cannot entirely escape admir ing fcileen Sheridan, whether one is a connoisseur of feminine physique or merely an applauder of graceful dancing or fair singing. Ruth Wesley lias a. bodily composition which wins the masculine eye and can sing and dance to approval. Similar charms arc the possessions of Elizabeth Jane. A word of praise for the scenic effects fs needed. There are eight scenes and only two of them are stock settings. The other six are things of special beauty.

Sembrich Sings Sioux Songs and Finds Melody Worthy of Repetition Washington. Jan. 28. One of the Sioux Indian songs collected by Miss Frances Densmore for the bureau of American ethnology of the Smith sonian Institution was sung by Mint. Marcella Sembrich at an historical song recital in New York on Jan uary 4. A setting for the melody was arranged by Alberto Bimboni of New York, and Mme. Sembrich received so much applause that she was ob liged to repeat the song- 'The Indians," says Miss Dens more, "do not keep a regular rhythm throughout a song but frequently al ternate double and triple measures in a way that appears absolutely erratic, yet the song as a whole .will have rhythmic completeness; in other words the rhythm makes sense." Some of the most interesting songs recorded by her have had this irregu larity of measure-lengths, and she has made - a careful study of this phase of the music. .She has found, by analyzing the structure of about 600 songs, that the melodic form of the song was connected with its idea. This she has followed with a test of the rhythm, by which it has been found that the peculiar alternating of the double and triple measures SAN CARLO COMPANY CIMSJTAY HERE Three Well Presented Operas on Saturday Winds Up Its Successful Engagement. NEW VOICES ABE HEARD By HENRIETTA M. REES. With afternoon and' evening per formances, the San Carlo Grand Opera company yesterday closed a most successful engagement in Oma ha. The audiences have been uni formly large, with even greater at tendance at the two -Saturday operas, and the performances have been uni formly good, with even better per formances on Saturday than the two preceding evenings, and that is sav ing a great deal. Ine best dramatic work of the company was done in the three operas presented yesterday aft ernoon and evening, and in every per formance without exception the com- pany have sung the music splendidly. The company seems to abound in good principals and the chorus is a constant delight in its well drilled singing, ihrougn taiiure or the man agement to state a change in cast, the credit of Signor Barducci's conduct ing of "Faust" was given to Signor Ferom, and the work ot Eugene De Folco in the title role of the , same opera was assigned to Salvatore Scia- retti. With these exceptions, tor the most part the casts were played ac cording to the program. Matinee Draws Well For the matinee performance yes terday the company presented Offen bach's "Tales of Hoffman." This melodious work, with its consistent and interpretative music, its humor, its tragedy, its fantasy and the famous "Barcarolle" holds a warm place in the affections of the people, and as presented yesterday afternoon, with each one of the principals cast most, suitably in his or her particular role, it well deserved the hearty reception it received. Among the members of the company unheard in previous operas were Edvige Vaccari, remem bered from last year for her unusu ally warm and sjpet quality of voice, her brilliant Icolorature singing and her clever acting. In the exacting role of the doll, she made a complete suc cess, and followed it by her convinc ing interpretation of Antonia. Salvatore Sciarettl made an ideal Hoffman, good to look upon, and with histrionic ability to match an exceptionally fine tenor voice, he was all that could be desired. This was also the, first Omaha appearance of Stella de.Mette, who took the part of Julletta. Her voice is a mezzo of good range, and exceedingly dramat ic. She looks adorable and her work both asvJu!ietta, and in the evening as Lola, in "Cavaliera Rusticana." highly satisfactory. Many double roles were played in this opera, prov ing the versatility of its talented principals. Of course, the "Bar carolle" was repeated, and some of Vaccari's solos, and the orchestra won much extra favor by interpolating the "Barcarolle" as a solo before the third act. This was also repeated. Chev. Peroni was at the baton, and is to be commended for this highly creditable performance. Double Bill in Evening. The two intense, realistic operatic twin sisters, "Cavaleria Rusticana," by Mascagni, and "I Pagliacci," by Leoncavallo, were the double bill pre sented in the evening. In the first Mary Kaestner repeated her former success for her dramatic and well sung Santuzza; Eugene de Fol far excelled his "Faust" by his fiery Turiddu, singing with uniform ex cellence throughout, and David Silva, Anna Haase and Stella de Mette were admirable, each in his or her special part. Signor Barducci conducted, and the dramatic climaxes he built up, the contrasts he gained, and his mu sicianly playing of the accompanying music, with here and there bits of melody brought to the attention, were ample proof of his ability. "I Pag liacci" furnished star roles for Man uel Salazar, who as Canio does some wonderfully fine acting and sinirincr and for Angela Antola, whose Tonio was most realistic. Both the "Pro logue" and the "Lament" had to be repeated and frequent applause inter rupted the performance. Other able members of the cast were Luisa Dar clee, Luciano Rossini and Luigi Dele molle. The accompanying music of this opera is rarely beautiful and the orchestra is constantly supporting, en hancing and intensifying the dramatic story. This opera was again to the credit of Chev. Peroni. Mr. GaMo. the manager of the com pany, expressed himself as highly pleased with the Omaha engagement and at the attention and enthusiasm '"pressed. 1-rent-h Labor for (iermanK. j I'mi-Ih.

In making this test Miss Densmore translated the native words into a rhythm exactly like that of the mel ody, and had the English equiva lents sung, in practically every in stance, to the same measure as the native words, thus the only -rhythm of the words was that of the native melody. In the development of this idea Miss Densmore received the co-operation of Alberto Bimboni, an Italian composer and conductor, whose tem perament and training fitted him eminently for this work. "But the real test," continued the investigator, "was to learn whether this subtle peculiarity would 'carry' with an audience, and fortunately while this point was under consid eration Mme. Sembrich, probably the greatest artist of the folk song liv ing today, requested an Indjan song. A song the Sioux sun dance was sent. Mme. Sembrich at once rec ognized the interest of the melody and the charm of the native rhythm." As reported above, she sang the song in Sioux and it was well received, and will shortly be published by Mr. Bimboni, with Miss Densmore's Britons Celebrate His Birthday Also London, Jan. 28. "The British army," says a Reuter's correspond ent at British headquarters, "shared in the emperor's birthday in the Somme area. "At dawn the British guns thun dered out a message, not of greet ing, but of death. A whirlwind bombardment rolled shrilly down the long northern and eastern lines. The troops suddenly Bprang from the British trenches and went across No Man's land with delib erate precision. "Heavy losses were inflicted on the enemy and about 250 of them surrendered. British casualties were light. , "'Many unhappy returns of the day,' has been the trench slogan all along the British front." On the Somme front in the neighborhood of Le Transloy to day, says the Official communica tion, a commanding portion of a German position was captured. More than 350 prisoners were taken.

Many New Industries Planned For Omaha for the Coming Year Whether the high cost of foods is the direct cause or not, Omaha is to see considerable development this year in the way of the establishment of new. factories and industrial plants for the production of articles of food, necessities of life. No less than two big new bakeries are planned; at least three big cream ery plants are in contemplation or ac tually under construction; and two big buttermilk meal factories arc definitely assured. The announcement of the plan for the $200,000 creamery plant of Kirsch braun & Sons and the announcement of the definite possibility that Win lield Campbell of Kansas City may establish a modem bakery plant' in Omaha within the present year, came to light during the last week. The Kirschbraun plant will have a capac ity of 15,000,000 pounds of butter per year, which will add greatly to the al ready world-famed standing of Oma ha as a butter producing center. Oma ha last year manufactured butter to the value of $10,789,000. The Kirsch braun plant will dountlcss add greatly to this figure in the coming years. Then, too, the Waterloo Creamery plant, which is being constructed at the south end of the Sixteenth street viaduct, and the Graham Ice Cream company will also swell the output ot butter and dairy products in Omaha during the next year and for years to come. Along with the announcement ol the Kirschbraun Creamery plant fo he built comes the announcement that the Collis people are to construct a big buttermilk) meal factory in con- A WORLD POWER Wherever commerce goes march ing on you will find the Electric Motor turning the wheel of in dustry, constantly, quietly and ef ficiently.

Another but termilk meal factory is already being constructed by an eastern company in conjunction with the Fairmont Creamery conijjany's plant. The completion of these plants will mean that the old buttermilk wag ons, long seen on the streets with a huge hogshead 'carrying nearly a ton of buttermilk at a load to be fed to hogs in yards on the outskirts of the city, will be a thing of the past. No longer is buttermilk to be sold in great quantities here for little or nothing and fed to swine. It is to be manu factured into meal and used by human beings in various ways. This meal is used in making the prepared pancake flour and in many other products. No sooner had the U. P. Steam Baking company announced that it would build a fine new plant in the city than there came the announce ment that Winfield Campbell of Kan sas City, Wichita, Des Moines and Sioux City baking fame would prob ably establish a large modern baking plant in Omaha. Bread and other baking products made in Omaha last year totaled in value $990,000 in round numbers, or almost an even million. The value of the output the previous year was nearly $75,000 less than in 1916. Whether the output will be greatly increased by the addition of the new plants remains to be seen, but bakers, at least, are optimistic about Omaha and feci that this is an excellent field for development in the baking line. . The macaroni output, too, is large, and the plants have doubled and trebled in size in the last few years, the total output for the year running considerably over $1,000,000.
