"Mawruss" Perlmutter have been the
central characters, so that the fam
ous partners have been continually
before the public since August, 1913.

est ranger; Sybil, the mountain girl;
Mrs. Taine, the fashionable siren who
attempts to snare the artht, King;
Mr. Taine, the wealthy roue; Rut
lidge, the bull-necked art critic; Myra
Willard, the scarred victim of the
vitriol thrower, and Lagrange, the
cynical author-friend of the artist.

Heading the bill for the first half of

ing & Dawson, in "Darktown Topics"
will provide laughter for the audi
ences. On the last half of the week,

N
O THING in weather
conditions especially
suggests indoor sports,
but the theaters long
ago quit fixing their
dates according to
temperature. Now
aday, the calendar fixes
the time for opening "the season,
and each year sees the day set a lit
tle farther forward. Two weeks ago
the Gayety started the Omaha pro
cession, last Sunday the Orpheum
swung into line, today the Brandeis
moves off, and next week the Boyd
will be under .way, and the Omahan
who can not find something at the
theater to suit his needs, his taste, or
his pocketbook will be hard to ac
commodate. Of course the Empress
and the downtown "movie" palaces
are included, for they never quit.
None of the managers has anything
to add to what already has been said;
the advance in prices' east of us has
not yet been discussed locally, but
will very likely be heard from, for
cost of operation has advanced here
as elsewhere, and the expense of put
ting on a show must be met somehow.
This will be determined a little later
on.
$
"Twin Beds," Salisbury Field and
Margaret Mayo's comedy of apart
ment house life, will again be seen
in this city at the Brandeis theater
for three days starling Sunday night
The scene of "Twin Beds" is a fash
ionable New York apartment house,
and its characters art familiar types.
Harry Hawkins is tired of his wife's
social activities. His wife insists on
two things, jhe will be nice to her
neighbors and she insists on having
twin beds in her apartment. To avoid
the neighbors, especial! a fat Italian
tenor who has become too attentive
to his bride, Hawkins moves to an
other part of-the town. The tenor
moves also, and into the same build
ing. Between Mrs. Hawkins, the ten
or's wife, another neighbor who
thinks the tenor is a burglar, and an
Irish maid who follows orders too ex
plicitly, the complications are tremendous.
"Follies" to put in the leading role of
this comedy; Cyril Scott, H. Reeves
Smith, Herbert Yost, George Stuart
Christie, Thomas Reynolds, Louise
Galloway, Adah Barton, Betty Linley.
Francis Verdi andLloyd Neal.
The stellar feature of the second
week of the Orpheum season, which
opens today, will be one of the most
elaborate and beautiful musical offer
ings in vaudeville, "The Futuristic
Revue," and presents a notable selec
tion of operatic stars. Walter
Brower, a monologist of the Ezra
Kendall type, is to contribute to
the fun-making of the bill. Marion
Harris sings coon songs in the catch
iest kind of a way. Exclusive mo
tion pictures are to be exhibited,
showing the impressive celebration of
last Fourth of July in Paris. All
revenues of this feature will be con
tributed to the Red Cross. The per
fect girl from California, Margaret
Edwards, has perfect dimensions phy
sically, and beside her dancing she
I demonstrates various physical exer
cises. E.a oanagner ana joe Koney
are to appear in the military travesty,
"The Battle of Whats-theuse." Burt
Earle, master of the banjo, appears
with Miss Earle, saxophonist; Miss
Artz, violinist, and Miss Grace Ab
bott, pianiste. Shadowgraphists trom
London, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilde,
will be an amusing feature of the bill.
The building of railroads in Mortgora,
Africa, will be one of the subjects
shown by the Orpheum Travel Week
ly, and another feature will be pic
tures from Picardy, France.
It is said that more actors have
played the roles of "Abe" Potash and
"Mawruss" Perlmutter than any oth
er roles on the American stage.
Among the players who have been
prominently identified with the roles
are Barney Bernard, Alexander Carr,
Jules Jordan, Harry First, Gus Yorke,
