BRANDEIS HEAD TO MANAGE WELL KN0V7NTHEATER (Coatlnord From Fage One.) those which make for success in theaters, but the fact that he has already , booked the best shows in the country to appear in the Brandcis theater during the corning season, augues well for his ability to suc cessfully manage this new enter prise.: .t Only Best Attractions. The Brandcis theater was orginally planned to be the show place of Omaha, and even today, there are few cosier or more beautiful play houses in this country. It was the original intention to house only the first class attractions, and to operate along a very high plane. It is Mr. : Brandcis' idea to adhere to this plan, playing only the very best attrac tions in this country, and when they are not obtainable, to keep the house dark. , Mr. Brandeis has been in confer ence with Klaw & Erlanger and other prominent theatrical promoters and producers in New York, and the following high class attractions have already been booked for the next ' season: "Polly With a Past," "Cohan Revue," "Rainbow Girl," Alexander Carlisle, in "Country Cousin;" "Lit tle Teacher,' "Fish O'Hara," "O' Brien's Minstrels," George Arliss in "Hamilton," "Tailor Made Man," "Turn to the Right." Richard Carle y lit "Furs and Frills," "Going Up," Toot-Toot," "Ben Hur," Maude Adams, Otis Skinner in a new play, Chaun.cey Olcott, who has not ap peared in Omaha for the past two seasons; Cyril Maude in repertoire, Lou Tellegen and "The Rivera Girl," Klaw & Erlanger'i latest and greatest musical comedy. - . Book Famous Plays. These are the plays that have eroVdei Chicago and New York playhouses, playing toimore than 100 performances in many instances. "Omaha," says Mr. Brandeis, "has progressed to a point where it will - eagerly entertain the very best that Is produced in stageland. and lend its hearty support to a theater that is one of the show places of this city.".' - - The Tuesday Musical club has al ready made engagements to 'hold its " series of concerts at the Brandcis next .season, and other artists, not en their program, will be booked in 4f pendent ly. . .. The present lesses of the Brandeis theater, Messre Le Doux and Le Marquand, who operate the Empress theater as well,, have decided to de vote their entire time to their other interests, so the last vaudeville per formance was given last night, and - ili c theater, now enters on its new season under the management of Mr. Brandeis, assisted by Mr. Sutphen. CI3 Wage Bonus Given Chicago Clothing Workers V Chicago, April 20. -A million dollar a year wage bonus to apply to the purchase of Liberty bonds has been tsven to ; ju.uuu Chicago clothing workers, it was announced by the llliijalS clotheri asjpciajioi, &day. PROMINENT WOMEN TO JUDGE WINNERS OF BEE'S CONTEST Suffrage Leaders and Red Crow Worker Will Be Asked To Decide on Proper Women's Salute When They Pass Qld Glory. Judges to name the winners of The Bee's "Woman Salute Contest" will be selected from leaders of the Red Cross and prominent suffrage workers in Omaha. Their names will be an nounced later. Suggestions continue to come in with increasing number, every con ceivable way of saluting the flag, being mentioned by readers through out Nebraska, Iowa and surrounding states. L. R. Loerke of Norfolk, Neb., a prominent business man of that city, and one who has served Uncle Sam in previous campaigns, writes: "The article in The Omaha Bee has brought out a long neglected phrase of patriotism." His suggestion for a salute is: "Raise the right hand sharply, placing it over the heart, fingers ex tended, facing the flag, left hand hang ing naturally at the side. A soldier's salute for the women, is the idea of Miss Louise Johanna of Columbus, Neb. Miss Johanna's sug gestion is: "Stand erect, head held up, facing the flag and remain rigid and quiet. Mrs. George Law, Corning, la., mother of four American boys, writes: "Lower the head as if in prayer, hands and arms straight down side, rigid-as possible." Beecher lligby, 2244 Landon Court, declares he thinks the men of Omaha should take a few lessons from the women on how to march, whether they have a salute or not. They out did the men in the big parade, he de clares. This is his suggestion: "Stand at attention, eyes toward the fl;lg, with right hand over and a little above the heart? fingers ex tended above heart pointing toward shoulder." Elmer Nichols, 1607 Burdette street, happened o be on a train with Gen eral Boucher, the famous Frenchman, when he saw the story of the con test in The Bee. He asked the gen eral what his opinion was, and the hero of the Maine suggested the French salute, as follows: "Right forearm horizontal, hand ex tended and joined, little finger touch ing bottom of head piece, hands againt forehead." Babe is Salute. Mrs. Louis Metcalf, 716 North Twentieth street, considers the ques tion of what a mother would do if she had a babe in arms. The babe itself would be a tribute to Old Glory, she declares. Mrs. D. McConnell, Pender, Neb.: "Place right hand over heart, rais ing bottom of head piece, hand out." O. B. Manville, Oakdale, Neb., sug gests that women assume a "radi ant countenance," when the flag peases. Mrs. Elsie J. Camm, 4131 Grant street, suggests throwing a kiss with the hand nearest the flag as it ap proaches. Address your suggestions to "Con test Editor," Omaha B Omaha, )Jeb., confining them to 75 words with writing on only one side of the paper. Dr. E. C. Henry, who is responsible for the popular "Woman's Salute Contest, may have to buy war sav ing stamps to satisfy the winners of the event. Many of the contestants close their letters by such requests. Remember, next Thursday is the final day for contestants to enter their suggestions, the winner of which will get $20, second $15, third $10 and fourth $5. Dr. f Ienry offers the first three prizes and The Bee will add a tourth prize of $5. LAST TO START, FIRST OVER TOP IN LOAN DRIVE Minneapolis, April 20.

But more important than the exclu$iveness of Its body design is its independence from the present scarcity of expert automobile repairmen. The best mechanics out of every important repair shop have been enlisted to look after the motors of the army. They are needed to keep the aeroplanes, motor trucks, automobiles and ambulances in run ning order. Those who' are left don't know to much about automobiles. Every shop is at lower efficiency. Cars which cstfl for constant service attention simply . won't be as satisfactory as they hart been. Then will be no one to girt them the needed attendoa. The car that satisfies this year must be to built that it will stand upon its own design. Its con struction as turned out by its builder must be final. It is not a time when the buyer can safefy rely upon the mechanical organization of the local dealer, however efficient and willing he has been in the past. 50,000 Super-Sixes Prove Their Reliability No one doubts the position of the Hudson Super Six. There are 50,000 in service. For two years it has far ovtsold any other fine car. Motorists are farmiiar with the character and number of its records nude in every field that calls for super-endurance. Those tests did reveal Kmits, thoqgh far beyond those of the average car. They enabled Hudson engineers to extend the endurance of this new series. The report from thousands of earlier cars, as made by private owners, also helped in showing what was necessary to make the Super-Six what we believe the present series to be the most enduring car in the world.
