rocker in her room at the Hotel Rome,
and flashed a dazzling smile v.hich
banished from the mind of the cub
reporter all those questions which he
had diligently rehearsed, and left him
speechless. .
He retained oresence of mind
enough to nod his assent.
Well, while I was nursing in the
American hospital in France, I was
invited to sing for the 22 con
valescents in,'- the institution. Of
course I accepted eagerly. Many
dignitaries vwre also invited, and it
was to be a very splendid affair. Nat
urally I was very anxiouj to please. I
sang the "Marseillaise" with all the
fervor . and my soul. It was given a
splendid encore as were the other
numbers of my program. I was quite
elated. -
AT THE THEATERS
GRAND OPERA TONIGHT.
Impresario Fortune Gallo arrived
111 the city last nigut with his iw
members of the San Carlo Grand
Opera company, by special train from
the sou'h.
Omaha gets the song birds the
first three days of this week, and
Kansas City the last three days.
ignor uallo was in his usual happy
spirits, apparently pleased to get
back to Omaha, where his artists
have always been so well received.
"We censider Omaha as one of our
real strongholds," said Signor Ga'lo,
"and I have always been impressed
with the fact that your people could
be made to feel and enjoy grand
opera when given at the right price.
Last year your people gave us the
largest audiences in the United States
a fact that was generously com
mented upon by the leading jorunals
of the country.' x
When asked how it was that the
San, Carlo organization is now the
nlv one of its character on tour in
the United States, Sig. Gallo smiledJ
and said he believed it was because
his company had the hearty co-operation
of every member.
i give my singers and musicians
35 weeks steady touring each sea,
son, their salaries are in their hands
every Tuestlay morning; we appear
under the best auspices, advertise
nothing but what we can produce
and endeavor to broaden the scope
of operations each season. Furthcr-
more, 1 am consianny on uie aicri
for new voices, while the repertoire
is added to from season to season,
according to the operas we discover
the people wish to hear.",
Do your artists not become 1a
tisrued at times from irfecssant
travel?" "v- .
"No. aooarentlv not.- For instance,
on yesterday's journey to Omaha,
the ladies were mostly engaged in
knitting articles for the Red Cross'.
Some of them were sewing. They
also busy themselves studying new
scores, learning new parts and tam
ing things over in general, v
Each month the women artists
gather up hundreds of articles of
wearing apparel, put these in a big
box and this is shipped to itaiy,
where many of their lathers, broth
ers and sweethearts are busy in the
trenches. Most of the members are
owners of Liberty bonds, and many
are Red Cross members. , They all
seem inclined to do something for
their country as well as to dissem-
inaie ine spun vi suu
Mr. Gallo said his organization was
now on the longest and rrost exten
sive opera tour, ever arranged, cov
ering all big .cities in the United
States and Canada, and involving a
trip of 20,000 miles.'
Ponchicllrs opera, i-a uioconaa,
will open the local season tonight at
the Auditorium. 1 -
"The Lire" at the Brandeis.
Almost identical with "The Traffic,"
t.rid dramatic storv dealing with the
social evil, and. more particularly with
commercialized vice, is 'The Lure,

fort hv the stock company at tne
Rranripi last nil?ht.
Not a few of the J scenes and
climaxes are startlingly realistic, and
at times the lines are such as almost
to shock, -ut the moral is wnoiesome
and the play is not over drawn. The
first four days ot tne week wiu oe
devoted to its presentation.
Not all the really . splendid acting
of the Brandeis Players can com
pensate for the unfortunate nature of
the nlav. Ann Hamilton made her
first appearance yesterday as the lead
ing woman with 4he company, taking
the part of the innocent girl. We
don't know how old Ann is. but in
looks and action yesterday she was
not more than 21. Her quick, .light
step, ingenue smile and appealing
movement of lithe, young body all be
snoke the very young person. She
shnwed absolute sincerity every min
ute sha was on the stage. Not once
did she overplay her part, though it
was a part that could7 easily have been
overplayed. I he audiences took to
"But imagine my surprise at the
conclusion to receive, not com
mendation on my performance but a
request that the 22 convalescent sol
diers be allowct to kiss me. That
shows more clearly .han words that
the gayety of the French people is an
outstanding characteristic which no
horrors or privations can destroy."
Miss Amsdi.i was bori in America,
going to France when very young to
study music. When asked if she ap
proved of the abolition of German
music in this country, and the barring
of German artists from the concert
stage here, she said:
"Art and artists really belong to
no particular country, but to all
countries. I sing Beethoven and the
other Germai. composers with no
qualms of conscience, but I think
these operas should be sung in Eng
lish and not in the original tongue.
Foreign artists who by their own ad
missions are enemies to this country,
should have the delicacy, I think, to
leave our land and perform on neutral
territory,"
her well, forecasting popularity for
Ann.
Harry Minturn did well his part as
the government agent who breaks up
the wicked gang and marches the ring
leaders off in hand.utfs in the last act
and rescues another poor, trusting,
dishevelled creature with a bloody
streak across her forehead. 1
The work of Miss Helen Jov as the
"madame" was such as to make even
that wicked and heartless female ap
pear almost fas :inating. She had just
the right mixture of cynicisr... hard
ness and physical attractiveness. Wil-
lard Foster as the old doctor put a
pleasing leaven of comedy and good
ness into the dark, devilish, dank
drama.
Busby's Minstrels at the Boyd.

show," owned and produced by Aud

Allen Woolf. It serves to point the
moral thatthe clothes do make "the
woman, at least in the eyes of the
man, and it gives Mrs. Hughes ex
cellent opportunities to deliver the
homely wisdoms of the New England
woman who becomes "madame" and
charges $400 for a $40 gown because
of the theory first considered by the
late Mr. Barnum.
Leo Beers, called vaudeville's dis
tinctive entertainer, makes good the
announcement in a short skit of song
stories in which he accompanies him
self on the piano. Harry Norwood
and. Alpha Hall have a "sense and
nonsense" bit which is pleasantly dif
ferent from the ordinary run of such
performances owing to the distinctive
methods of Mr. Norwood. Tom Kerr
and Edith Ensign cut up on their
violins with huge success.
Captain "Pop" Anson, the grand
old man of base ball, and his two
daughters, give a base ball skit which
was -written for the famous veteran
by Ring Lardner. The former dia
mond star brings his offering to a con
clusion by batting balls thrown at
Mm by the audience and he proves
his eye is still there by swatting every
one within reach.
Georges Marck takes an unusual
method to introduce an animal act.
He weaves four lions into a story and,
with the aid of motion pictures, en
acts a fairly good wordless melodra
ma, as well as putting the lions
through their tricks. Colonel Dia
mond, who is said to be 81 years old,
dances the gavotte, hesitation, cake
walk and one step with his grand
daughter. Orpheum pictures show
views of the military school at Karl
berg, Sweden, and winter in Moscow
before the Reds became prominent.
Bill at the Empress.
Clever acting, daring acrobatics,
tuneful singing and laugh-provoking
chatter all have a place in the vaude
ville bill at the Douglas street variety
and photoplay house the first half of
the week. Any one of the four
vaudeville acts could be called a head
liner. First honors probably go to
Trainor & Co. in the musical skit,
"The Simple Life." There are three
persons in the act. The lines are
clever and the singing above criti
cism. Each of the artists can sing.
A diversion' in the way of a bicycle
act is offered by J. C- Booth and
Happy Leander, billed as the "Cyclist
and the . Nut." "Look at It Now" is
the name of the act. It keeps the au
dience busy looking for the next sur
prise. The four Juggling Normans are
like a streak of chain lightning. Their
marvelous stunts with Indian clubs
and other' articles keep spectators on
edge. The jugglers are all young
men. Comedians of the first water
are the Tiller Sisters, a couple of
misses with dainty personalities who
can sing, dance and talk in an enter
taining way. lheir act is called
"More Power to 'Em." In photoplays
the Empress offers the famous emo
tional screen star, Clara Kimball
Young, in her latest production,
"Magda," a stage classic adapted to
the silent drama. The story is a pow
erful one. Miss Young is given great
opportunity to displayjher abilities as
an emotional actress. An excellent

TROTZKY ACCEPTS
EXPLANATION BY
COLONEL JUDS0N
Petrograd, Sunday, Dec. 2. Lieu
tenant Colonel William V. Judson,
chief of the American military mis
sion to Russia, paid an informal visit
today to the Bolsheviki headquarters
at the Smolny institute. He discussed
there with Leon Trotzky, the Bol
sheviki foreign minister, the subject
of Lieutenant Colonel Judson's notes
to the chief of the Russian general
staff, and the protest made by Major
Kerch, American military attache to
General Bukhonin, regarding the
negotiations for an armistice between
Russia and Germany.
Asked whether a written communi
cation was desired further explaining
the American officer's attitude, in
view of the construction placed upon
his communications by Trotzky, the
latter replied that the incident might
be considered closed, in view of
Lieutenant Colonel . Judson's assur
ance that "the time for reproaches or
threats is past."
Ambassador Francis explained that
Lieutenant Colonel Judson's visit was
wholly in an unofficial capacity. It
constituted the first intercourse be
tween an attache of the embassy in
any capacity with the Bolsheviki of
fices. Special dispatches from Petrograd
yesterday said that Trotzky had is
sued a warning with reference to the
French and American communica
tions sent to General Dukhonin re
garding the armistice and peace
moves, Trotzky declaring that' his
government would not permit "allied
diplomatic and military agents to in
terfere with the internal affairs of our
country," and that further steps in
this direction would "bring the grav
est complications."

Theater-goers were more than
pleased with the "Million Dollar

this week. The beauty chorus of sing
ing dolls show class throughout the

Two new humoresques in the per
sons of Cliff Brar 'on and Scotty Fries

burlesque and their whimsical ex
pressions are establishing them
strongly in the hearts of Omaha

terials and will be -refunded. For
work abroad, $27,885,816 has been ap
propriated, $20,601,240 of the amount
going to France, where suffering has
been beyond description. .--
For work outside of France, ex
clusive of $750,000 recently sent for
emergency relief to Italy, the fow
ing appropriations have been tilide:
Belgium, $720,001 ; England, $1,066,
520; Italy, $214,000; Russia, $1,359,
440; Roumania, $1,518,398; Serbia,
$493,203; Armenians and Syrians,
$1,800,000; others, $113,012.
