Omaha Theaters Make
Promise oj Much for
Patrons During the
Coming Winter Weeks
t 1 "fc
A
NNOUNCEMENTS from
the Boyd and Brandeis
indicate that the com
ing season at the Oma
ha theaters will be a
lirilliant one. Experi
ence has taught us not
tn exnect too much.
for the prospectus of August is not
-.i..,ao reiWmrd: nlans laid in New
York are subject to change, and the
companies that travel miner encoun
ter many vicissitudes along the way.
If business is good generally, the
theater will prosper accordingly, and
Omaha may look for much of real joy
at the play houses. In the lists an
nounced for presentation is such a
variety as will meet all requirements:
the light and fluffy predominating, to
be sure, but enough of the solid is in
prospect to give to the sober-minded
folks who still take the' theater se
riously consolation and comfort in
their belief that life is not all frivol
ity. The Brandeis gets under headway
on Sunday next, and the Boyd will
open a week later. The Orpheunj
begins its winter round today, and
thus within a fortnight the whole list
of theaters will be doing business.
Eva Tanguay comes to the Or
pheum today as the stellar event to
open the season of big time vaude
ville. The gowns she wears are as
eccentric as she herself. They are
also extremely rich in fabrics, as
unusual as her fun-making, as strik
ing as her personality. James C.
Morton will appear in a comic tra
vesty of his own, and will be capably
assisted by Mamie Diamond. The
comedian no longer appears in chalk
face. The power of suggestion is the
theme of Helen Gleason's little play,
"The Submarine Attack," which was
written for her by Allen Lieber.
The comedy reveals the fears of a
nervous woman in anticipation of a
torpedo which fails to arrive. Pros
per and Maret, a pair of college boys,
rank high as athletes and gymnasts.
One of their feats is a headlong dive
from a high platform, clear across
the stage, to be caught on the hands

could not see why her domestic hus
band did not want her to bring in her
neighbors for dinners; and the colosal
Signora Monti, who, having found a
fat Italian tenor singer for $18.00 per
w eek in a Brooklyn cabaret, and eJe
vated him to the tempermental ranks
of the $-,000 a night stars at the
Metropolitan opera house, having
married him the while, could not see
why he should still have such a ter
rifying susceptibility to all the fair
ladies who crossed his path.
"Polly with a Past" will be the at
traction at the Brandeis for two
nights and Saturday matinee, begin
ning Friday, August 30. In its lead
ing feminine role Ina Cbire, the lat

pearance in the west. Other farceurs
in the cast are Cyril Scott, II. Reeves
Smith, Herbert Yost, George Stuart
Christie, Thomas Reynolds, Louise
Galloway, Adah Barton, Betty Lin

The story has to do with Polly Shan
non, a minister's daughter from East
Gilead, O., who, left to her own re
sources, enters domestic service for
the purpose of earning enough
money to continue her vocal studies
in Paris. One of the young men in
the household where she is employed
is in love with a girl possessed with
a mania for redeeming human dere
licts. She is absolutely indifferent
towards him. How to awaken her in
terest? His friends and Polly con
coct a scheme. Polly shall he a
siren with a lurid and spectacular
past, the youth shall fall into her
toils, thereby gaining the attention
of the philanthropic ami unresponsive
miss who up to this time has been
deaf to his appeals s
Patrons of the Empress vaudeville,
the first half of the week, will find
"Concentration" an act which has
mystified thousands under the direc
tion of George Lovett The offering
is a demonstration of psychic power.
Lovett is assisted by Mme. Zenda
and Pauline Carroll, the musical
oracle. Real darkey singing and a
great dancing finish is promised by
Wilson and Wilson in "The Bandman
and His Band." 'The Luncheon on
the Wire," in which a clever artist
builds a table, places the flishes upon
it, cooks a meal and then enjoys the
repast while balancing himself upon
the slender wire seated in a chair is
included in a sensational slack wire
and juggling act which will be offered
by Grcno and Piatt. Songs, dantfe and
music make up the act to be present
ed by Doherty and Scalia. For the
last half of the week iCubolia's Ha
waiians play other instruments than

Songs Dances and Music" is promised
