UCH pleasure and little
profit, perhaps could be
found in pursuit of reflec
tions on the Stuart Walker
venture, so briefly with us,
Let us recall aa illustrations
of the basic idea the presentation of
"The Servant in the House," "The
Passing of the Third Floor Back" and
finally Mr. Forbes Robertson's great
"Hamlet." In each of these the sim
plicity of the stage setting was a
notable feature; yet the skill of the
actor more than made up for 'the' ab
sence of elaborate scenery and equip
ment, and who that saw either will
ever complain that anything was lack
ing? Another fine example of the
perfect combination is Mrs. Fiske't
production of "Rosmersholm." Recall
these and contrast them with Mr. Be
lasco's "Girl of the Golden West," in
the first act of which the Girl alone
must handle 135 different "props,"
not to mention what is required of
the other characters, and this is ex
tended throughout four acts, to the
accompaniment of wind machines,
snow storms, panoramic curtains and
a wonderful sunrise I
Those mischievous little fellows,
the "Katienjammer Kids," Hans and
Frita, whose antics in the comic sec
tion of the SunMay newspapers have
made millions laugh, have been made
the central figures in a hilarious car
toon musical comedy, in which they
re surrounded by all the other char
acters of the cartoons and a big
chorus of beautiful girls. When it is
places! on view at the Boyd today
lor five nights and three matinees,
commencing matinee today, the pub
lic is going to see a great fun show.
The hilarious situations in which
Hani and Fritx involve Ma Katzen
. jammer, Der Professor, Der Captain
and the other characters, cause no
,end of merriment. Particular .care
'has been taken With the staging1 and
'costuming of the "Katienjammer
Kida." The "fashion plate chorus"
,is gowned in various fetching and
'stunning costumes, all of which match
i harmoniously with the stage pictures
.and electrical effects. Its fun is
clean and wholesome and there are
.many good things in the perfor
I mince. Matinees will be given to
day, Wednesday, and a special on
'Thursday at 3 p. m. for the benefit of
the school children.
At the popular Gayety theater this
(week Joe Hurtig is presenting "The
Auto Girls." In the all-new show
this season's offering is in two dis
tinct acts, "Sliding Billy" Watson ap
pearing in the first ' act with three
scenes as Ludwig, the Clock Maker,
while in the second act, with three
scenes, Ed Lee Wroth appears in a
review of the sucessful plays to which
he contributed the character of Jan
itor Higgins. There are nearly half
a hundred people in the cast outside
of Watson and Wroth, including
Owen Martin, Mable Morgan, Es
telle Cobert, Hazel Woodbury, Fred
de Silva, Tiney Hilson, Gus Roeber,
Herman Gibson and a prize ideal as
semblage of joy riding Auto Girls.
This will be the only musical show
in town Auto Show week. Ladies'
matinee daily all week. Today's
matinee starts At o clock.
Louis Mann comes to the Orpheum
week of March 4 in "Some Warriors,"
a playlet, satirizing the present war. It
fwas written originally for the Friar's
:Frolic by Clara Lipman and Samuel
Shipman, and created such a favorable
impression at that performance that it
'was immediately drafted for vaude
ville. The scene is a German military
istation. Richard Strauss, the German
(composer, played by Louis Mann, is
(serving aa a valet to the German
Igeneral in charge. During a half
(hour's declared truce. Edmond Ros-
jtand, the French poet, serving as a
messenger ooy in tne trench ranks,
comes to the German encampment
Iwith a letter from his commander.
The aituations which arise between
the two geniuses are said to be ex
traordinarily funny.
-
- "The Birth of a Nation" will be
presented at the Brandeia theater for
lone week besinnine: this afternoon.
There are twelve reela of vivid, re
alistic spectacles which tell the story
of a double romance and carry one
through scenes of the civil war and
some episodes of the reconstruction
period. Colonel Stoneman of the
north is in love with the sister of
Colonel Cameron of the south. And
Colonel Cameron is infatuated with
the sister of Colonel Stoneman. These
romances are depicted before the
war and the views show how the
drawing of lines and the commence
ment of the war worked estrange
ment, distress and hardship on the
young lovers and members of their
families. Brave young men embrace
their mothers, sisters and sweethearts
and depart for army service. ' The
pictures also show patriotic women
at home sewing and knitting for the
soldiers. One sees vast armies mus
tered to march away to war. Aa the
war progresses great battles are
fought and the thrilling action from
rifle fire to cavalry clashes and ar
tillery duels is depicted in pictorial
form as true to life as it is possible
for human agency to simulate.
Scenes are unfolded in which the
largest theatrical army ever assem
bled is active in the performance of
the deeds of warfare.. In the pictures
General Robert E. Lee strides forth
to clasp the hand of General U. S.
Grant, liis conqueror, at Appomatox.
Another historical event of lasting
impressiveness is the assassination of
President Abraham Lincoln, pre
sented as accurately as the detaila are
remembered by eye-witnesses and an
exact reproduction of the play houst
in which the martyred president lost
his life.
Peace is exemplified in an aggres
sive pageant and the Dictorial atorv
continues with the fortunes of the re
united lovers and the troubles ex
perienced in the south. Mob vio
lence and outlawry are shown, fol
lowed by spectacular views of the
Ku Klux Klanamen who were nisrht
riders and wore white shrouds. In
point of interest the Klansmen spec-
Montgomery and btone will be at
tacles rival the war asoecta of the

Miller Sisters present a novelty act
in which they introduce some stunts
new to Omaha vaudeville. "Crucial
Crucible," billed as "the human melt

fering. The headliner for the second
half of the week will be Al Wohl
man and company, who will intro

man, who is the author of several of
the most popular songs now being
sung in Umaha.
Headline honors this week at the
Orpheum are divided between "the
prince of minstrels, Eddie Leonard,
and the two players of established
reputation, Homer B. Mason and
Marguerite Keeler. The sketch, "The
Minstrel's Return." in which Mr.
Leonard will be assisted by Anthony
Howard and Fred Mayo, is reputed
to be extremely laughable. Mr. Ma
son and Miss Keeler have given their
efforts for several seasons to play

York, is another special feature. "Call

company have been swamped witn
inquiries for the pictures.
I The first of these Vitagraph pro-
iductions, "Dimples' Baby," gives Miss

tremendous maternal instinct, brings
love and happiness not only to herself,

Only Beautiful Women
In New Under Films
Beautiful women he has none but
the most beautiful of all women in
his cast.
That was Max Linder's stipulation,
when the celebrated French comedian
contracted to come to Essanay. And
Linder's reputation as a connoisseur
of beauty is noted in Europe.
Wherever is Max Linder," the say
ing goes in Paris, "there also is
beauty."
The question was, therefore, who
are the most beautiful actresses on
the American screen. It was a ques
tion that Essanay officials searched
the studios of the country to answer.
They were, determined that the same
should be true here as in Paris, only
it should be American beauty instead
of the French type. The bevy of
blonde beauty in Max's first comedy,
"Max Comes Across," is the result.
Incidentally Max braved the wrath
of French women recently when he
declared that "America is just one
pretty girl after another."
