The minstrel fans of this vicinity will be pleased to learn that Har vey's Greater Minstrels, one of the very best and largest minstrel or ganizations on the road, is to appear in this city at Boyd's theater for five days, starting Sunday, Decem ber 15. Laughter, the creating of laughter, is the purpose of a min strel as well as the rendering of tuneful music and pleasing songs. The minstrel man has been known from almost the beginning of the world s history and was well known by the writers of Biblical affairs. It is this very characteris tic of the minstrel which makes it capable of appealing to all classes and when the Harvey Greater Min strels appear in this city next week there will be seen hundreds of peo ple in the theater who are not habit ual theater-goers phi The fourth and final week at the Brandefs theater of D.

It ran for an entire year at the Maxine Elliott 'theater, New York City, where it was ac claimed one of the most novel and original plays of recent years. "Eyes of Youth" is the work of Max Marcin and Charles Guernon. It consists of three acts. These three acts include four sepa rate episodes. These episodes are supposed to transpire in the crystal in which the heroine of the play sees her future. As the girl is brought face to face with various alternatives every eventuality of her possible fu ture is revealed to her in the crystal ball. She may choose an operatic career, she may marry a rich suitor, she tnay remain at home and take care of her family, or she may marry the man she loves. The life she will lead in any of these careers is shown to her and visualized on the stage. The production and the cast are in keeping with the extraordinary na ture of the play. "Eyes of Youth" is presented under the joint direc tion of A. II. Woods and the Mes srs. Shubert. The players include Mabel Browncll, Maurice Barrett, Russell Sage, Hortense Bender and others. has become entangled in the tails of; the coat. The play is filled with bright and catchy melodies and a number of tuneful song hits, includ ing, "When My Wife Returns," "You Can't Take it With You When You Die," "Does Polly Want Wally," "Furs and Frills," "Spring," "Deception Is the Better Part of Valor," "Love's Menu," "A Short Farewell Is Best," "Heart Of My Heart," "Make Yourselves at Home," "Butterfly," "It Must Be,", "Always Take Mother's Advice,") "Thp "Tale Of a Coat." etc. Mr.: Carle will open a four days engage-' ment at the Brandeis theater next .Sunday night. Salem Tntt Whitnev and T. Homer Tutt, who head "the Smart-1 er Set." better known as "The ! Smart," and which comes to the 1 Boyd next Sunday, December 22, have declared themselves in favor (EMPRESS) Ylreife -AttAeOrph eutn ed as swimmers and divers. The other two distinctly exploited acts will be Westony and Loraine, whose appeal is to popular taste as well as discriminating music lovers and the comely Lightner girls and breezy I'ewton Alexander with jollity and refined songs delicately sung. The management of the Empress theater announce an elaborate girl act as the stellar attraction for the first four days of the week. The act is well staged, handsomely costumed and presented by six pretty girls and a clever juvenile. Ann Butler and Hal Germanus, who are featured, offtT diverting specialties consisting of comedy of the highest class with real fun as the foundation. Under RICHARD CARLE, who comes to the Brandeis theater for four nights and a special ma tinee on Christmas, begining next Sunday, with his latest musical comedy, "Furs and Frills,' is one comedian who respects his work. Ihe profession of a comedian, said Carle, in an interview recently "is not a ow calling, as some may regard it, for the comedian's mis sion is primarily to make people laugh, to force them to forget their cares and worries and, in short, to make the sad world a little hap-P;er- ... ... Just as the clergyman maxes tne world morally better and the phy sician makes it physically better, so the comedian makes it mentally bet ter. That is why I respect my work ana am sausneu inai m ucmg comedian I am a real essential in the world and that I am performing i work of great importance. I feel a responsibility upon me every time I step onto the stge. My first thought isn't how big the house is. but to wonder how well I will succeed in cheering up the people before me. I look for the sad faces in the audiences and I never count mv performance a successful one until I have succeeded in banishing the gloom from each one of those and brought n smile to replace it. "I think the right sort of comedy is a wonderful thing for bringing cheer into the world, and I do not wonder that some comedians are un successful, knowing, as I do, how little they think of the seriousness of their profession and the responsi bility that rests with them. Every man. no matter what walk in life he follows, should respect his work. If he doesn t, he cannot succeed, and if he doesn t respect his work, how can Jie expect the world to respect him?" the caption of "A Song Surprise," Valyda, a beautiful young woman will offer something out of the or dinary, a song number in a double voice. A comedy act replete with many ideas is offered by Mann and Mallory. A routine of clever jug gling feats will be offered by Jug gling De Lisle. Heading the pro gram for the last half of the week, is "The Rubeville Revue," a minia ture musical comedy with a cast of eight people, headed by Charlie Jordan, George Offcrman, Sara Marie and a quintette of beautiful girls. "The Burlesque 'Wonder Show," is the attraction at the Gayety twice daily this week. The company this season carries 50 people together with a complete scenic and electric equipment, the costumes are gorge ous from Broadway, while the come dians know how to produce good hearty laughs without the use of slap sticks and buffoonery. Arthur Conrad, Will Murphy and Elmer Brown help keep the fun moving Albertina Rasch Says Tradition Favors Ballet Classiqiie rpHE ballet classique is not an ac I cident or a passing fancy," says Albertina Rasch, the prima bal lerina assoluta, coming to the Or pheum with a company of dancers to present her latest ballet crea tion. "It has been well born and well nurtured. Its entire history is one of careful building by competent masters, and each step has been carefully studied before it was writ ten down for posterity. It has ar rived at a state of real beauty, and it must be preserved as such. It is not in need of any revival any more than the pyramids of Egypt need painting. "Given a few brilliant exponents and boys and girls willing to devote themselves to the patient and often punishing study requisite for perfec tion in the ballet classique, it will live as long as the word dancing is heard. It is a separate and beauti ful thing quite worthy of its long tradition and honored devotees, and I believe it will live quite as long as opera or the singing of songs. It will certainly outlive many of the stupid forms of semi-savagf"recon-structions' now being exploited un der the names of Chinese, Hawaiian. and Hindu dances. "We classical dancers do not pre tend that there is any hidden mean ing in our work. We dance, as other artists have danced, to the music that was written for dancing. We do not moan and suffer to funeral marches and symphonies that were never intended for anything but or chestral work; but we try to con vey the mood of - the composers' dance music by varied dancing. "I honestly believe that the vogue of nudity will pass, and with its at a warm speed. The rest of the cast is Edna Green, Teresa Adams and Lulu Coates and her Three Crackerjacks. Matinee daily, today's matinee starting at 3. passing the wonderfully clothed Russian ballet, plain, good ballroom dancing and our own ballet classique will come into their own more popu lar than ever before. I am convinced, the more 1 dance, that there is a great and growing sentiment in fa vor of the ballet classique and its restoration to the front rank of the classic entertainments js only a mat ter of time, perhaps only a short time." Bee Want Ads are the Best Busi ness Boosters. of absolutely clean shows. . There is not an objectionable line or scene in "Darkest American's" whole pro duction, and not a song which con tains so Vnuch as a suggestive word. These comedians, and performers are able to create a laugh without resorting to the questionable, and the singers have the ability and per sonality which enable them to put ! their songs over without the use of doubtful material. y For Chrisfmas week, starting Sunday, December 22, Martin Beck has arranged a bill with four special feature acts for the Omaha devotee of the two-a-day. There will be two headliners. Imhoff, Conn and Corinne with a new sketch called ' A Pest House," will be offered as a big laugh guarantee. The other top-liner will be the acquatic novelty, Winston's water lions and diving nymphs. The nymphs are two attractive women xpertly skill- fflmnmi:iiiniinfflinmmmfflnii 1 Fredrick L.
