THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1918. i SOUTH SIDE OPPOSES EIGHT HOUR DAY IN PACKING HOUSE Manager Murphy of Cudahy's Contends That the Piece Sys tem of Doing Work Prov ing Satisfactory. An eight-hour day fqr packing house employes of the Omaha Cudahy plant would mean great incon veniences and a heavy added burden of expense, according to Manager M. R. Murphy. "Enough live stock to fill the chill rooms in every department can be killed in eight or 10 hours," said Mr. Murphy. The local Cudahy plant is filling enormous government orders. In many departments where em ployes were formerly paid a straight salary the piece work system is now being used and Mr. Murphy says that the change is a decided improve ment. "It gives the workers a practical incentive," he said. "For instance, in the hide depart ment where workers formerly took up about 700 hides a day they now often take up 1,200."

Secretary Houston of the Department of Agri culture today issued a call to urban people to study the farm labor sit uation and to render assistance to farmers during the coming crop season. "If soldiers are willing to serve in the trenches and risk their lives," declared Secretary Houston, "many civilians can well afford to save a part of their time to serve in the furrows and in the harvest fields. In many town and cities there are men who have had farming experi ence, who are able bodied and who would doubtless be willing to serve tha nation in the field of agriculture at this time. Especially for the seasonal strains of planting, culti vating and harvesting, it will not be too much to ask such men to aid the farmers in the necessary under taking of maintaining and if possi ble supplementing the food supply in order to feed the armies and to sustain the civilian population be hind the men" AT THE THEATERS Mr. Manteil in "Richelieu" at the Boyd. Robert B. Manteil and company la "Riche lieu," a dram In five sets and seven scenes, by Eiward Bulwer Lytton. The cast: Cardinal Richelieu Mr. Manteil Gaston Mr. John Alexander Baradas Mr. Albert Barrett De Berlnghen Mr. John Wray Adrian de Mauprat , .Mr. Frits Leibe- Huguct.... Mr. John Burke Joseph..... Mr. Frank Peters Francois Mr. Our Llndaley Louis XIII Mr. Edward Lewers A captain of guards.... Mr. Charles J. Ryan Page to Rtrholleu..Mlss Virginia Branson Clermont Mr. Oeorg Westlake Saoretary Mr. Abraham Ivory Another Mr. Edmund Foos Marian De Lorme......Mlas Marlon Evensen Julie De Mortemar..Mlss Genevieve Hamper Mr. Mantel! began his week's visit to Omaha with what is to him some thing of a mety, a Sunday perform' ance, presenting his fine picture of the cardinal in "Richelieu." In qther times The Bee has warmly com mended this role in its treatment by the star, and now finds no cause to abate judgment hitherto expressed. Mr. Manteil naturally has found op portunity to add to the artistic ex cellence of his portrayal of the char acter, until it has assumed well rounded and carefully .thought out proportions, and has become authon tative if not the last word in expres sion of the intellectual giant who looms so grandly over the statesmen of his day. It is Richelieu of his later days, frail ami failing in bodily health, his strength gone, no longer able to lift the weapon he swung as a toy in the battle s rage when the sol dier supported the statesman; but it is also the Richelieu who truly could say: "Beneath the rule of men en tirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword." Age has not dimmed his mind, nor lowered his spirit, nor les sened his craft He could piece out the skin of the lion with that of the fox, and he showed as well the hu man side in his tenderness for his ward and his concern for her hapoi ness. In the brief moments of relax ation, the cardinals playfulness with Julie, his quiet fun with Joseph, and his exultation over the prospect of defeating his opponents, serve to lighten "what is otherwise a tense but well sustained effort. Fritz Leiber still gives to de Mau prat that effective life which lifts it a little above the plane on which the role is written, and invests a some what commonplace and cheap hero with a quality of real worth, such as might Justify the decision of his emi nence in ine mauer or oestowing ine hand and fortune of his ward. It is a oleasure to note the rioenine of Mr: Leiber's talent and requires no gift of clairvoyance to foretell for him a place among the stars. His work throughout the week will give further evidence ot his worth. Mr. Barrett's Baradas is hardly bet ter than it was written; the actor gets but scant chance to show the graces of a courtier that won so high a place in Louis favor, or the quality ot cratt that led him to match his wit against that of the master plotter of the day, Only in his display of terpidation in the closing act did Mr. Barrett give an effective touch to the part Mr. Peters is rood as Joseph, the monk, and Mr, Lindsley is convincing in the role of Francois. Mr. Wray does the little bit set down for de Beringhen very well, and Mr. Lewers Louis is excel lent. Miss Hamper's experience since last she was visible here has been suffi cient to confirm her to a greater de gree in her'art. She has lost none of the pirlish charm with which she en dowed the part of Julie, and has im proved her utterance and expression, so that the role is to that extent bene fited in her treatment of it. Miss Evenson is a more than charming Marian, and ofte can understand with what confidence the ploters resorted to her house. k, "Th Merchant of Venice" this eve ning, with Mr. Manteil as Shylock, Miss jciamper as roma anu . .mc ber as Bassanio. Vaudeville at the Orpheum. A Japanese dance, an East Indian dance, a love waltz and a modern dance with a military touch compose the aeries of nictorial and drama :ic dances bv Ruth M. Denis, wno nead' lines the Orpheum this week. Then Bettv Moreran follows with Cleo patra Had a Jazz Band" to prove that vaudeville can successful jump the chasm between one extreme and tie other. - ' One striking achievement marks the dancing of Miss St., Denis. It is tie utter simplicity of her dances. With the boldness of the true artist, she has eliminated all the semi-gymnastics and other fancy frills popularly sup posed to be requisites of the classical dance, and gives each dance its per fect interpretation. Miss St Denis is assisted by Margaret Loomis, who gives a dance of the desert Charles Withers, an Omaha boy, scores heavily in "For Pity's Sake," a revised version of the travesty melo drama in which he appeared here be fore. Withers still portrays the char acter of the rube manager of the hick town opera house, who also is his own property man. Withers' con tortions on the ladder leading to the stage loft are particularly laugh provoking. Frank Crumit, the one man glee club, strikes a popular chord bv singing songs of more than a score of years ago to the modern ac companiment of the ukelele, and tell ing negro stories in an interesting way. Jim and Betty Morgan sing songs ot their own composition and Jim add the finishing touches to a most successful act with violin and clarinet numbers. Vivian Holt is an operatic soprano with an un- 1 1 ,, . . , 1 1 . usuauy wen iramca voice, uauasmiai brothers are eccentric clowns, who also are skillful acrobats.

Tom Linton and his jungle girls, in their singing oddity styled "The Up-to-Date Missionary," is one of the hits on this week's progran. of Hippo drome vaudeville at the Brandeis theater. There are seven young women and a man in this act which has a pretty stage setting. Claudia Tracey isn't very big but she makes up in personality and temperament She has several clever song numbers, one being a rube topical selection which she does quite well. The Ioleen sisters offer an artistic wire act which opens the bill. Mr. and Mrs. William O'Clare are Irish singers. Mr. O'Clare plays the accompaniments on a small organ of the type that was carried by the traveling minstrels of long ago. 1 Johnson Bros, and Johnson, billed as "Minstrels Extraordinary,' con tribute a share to the pleasure of the program. Maxine Bros, and Bobby are two boys and a dog in a gym nastic act Lexey t -d O'Connor have a repertoire of smart songs and dances.
