ABOUT seven years ago a little
Canadian girl left Montreal for
New York, determined to con
quer in the theatrical center of the
United States. She was Florence
La Badie, co-starred with H. E.
Herbert in "The Man Without a
Country," and at that time few per
sons had ever heard of her name.
But Florence had made up her mind
that sh would hecome an actress
and when she decided to do a thing
she usually did it.
She was ngaged by ihannous- .
nearly six years ago and remained
with them up to the time of her
death. Her last picture was "The
Man Without a Country. DV Lloyd
Lonergan, after the famous Edward
Kverett Hales masterpiece written
in 1863. "The Man Without a
foimtrv" will be shown at the Bran-
deis for three days starting Thurs
day, December lb.
Tyrone Power, star of the new
Mutual special production, lhe

known as "The Devil." for which he
paid $-00, one of a herd of Austral
ian waters requistionea i r me
British army. "The Devil" was
thrown out after he had bumped five
English horsebreakers of the cav
alry.. Power rides the horse every

George Walsh in "I'll Say So" at
the Empress for the last times today

slangy as its title and full of real
action and lots of humor. The big
athletic star carries the action of
the play with lots of pep and many
a laugh for an audience.
Vivian Martin in "Her Country
First" at the Rialto today and to
morrow has a story with a heavier
part than Miss Martin generally es
says. It is the story of a girl who
goes through all sorts of thrilling
adventure but in the end saves her
father's munition plant from the
hands of German plotters and in
cidentally she finds a lover. There

the piece.
Bryant Washburn in "The Gypsy
Trail," which is appearing at the
Strand acain todav and tomorrow,
has a charming love story of a girl I
who hopes that romance win enter
into her life in fact, will have noth
ing to do with a, nice, regular young
feilow who wishes to marry her.
And then along comes Bryant as a
gypsy. He carries her off in true
romantic style, but in the end he
will not give up. his care-free life
nor his "gypsy trail" to settle down
and the girl and her lover are united
while he goes down the winding
road singing.
An interested crowd of specta
tors were watching Peggy Hyland,
the winsome Fox star, film some
scenes in the latest photoplay,
"Caught in the Act," on Madison
avenue, New York, showing at the
Muse today and Thursday. So in
tensely interested was one woman
that in crossing the street to get a
better view of the proceedings she
did not see an approaching trolley
car, and before anyone could shout
a warning she was struck and dis
appeared under the forward trucks.
Miss Hyland, who witnessed the
accident, was the first to run to the
injured woman's assistance and.
when the victim at last was lifted
from beneath the car, was on the
spot to give her first aid.
AS THE name suggests, a femi
nine garment formed the au
thor's inspiration when he
wrote "Furs and Frills," Richard
Carle's new musical piece which is
thi rhristmas attraction, matinee
and evening at the Brandeis, with the
special Christmas matinee at o
o'clock. Mr. Carle is cast in a role
particularly adapted to his versatil
ity and a strikingly beautiful
chorus, cast of clever musical com
edy artists, tuneful music and scenic
and costume environment which is
unique and attractive, combine to
make "Furs and Frills" one of the
mnst nonnlar musical shows which
has been presented in recent year.
The matinee today will begin at o
o'clock.
A snprinl Christmas matinee will
hp nlavprl at thi Rnvrl todav. when
"The Smarter Set" will give an ex
tra tinge of jazz to its newest musi
cal comedy, "In Darkest America."
Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer
Tutt head the organization, which is
by far the best that has yet come to
Omaha under the name. These cap
able comedians were never better
placed than in their present charac
ters of Abe and Gabe, and with the
company are giving an entertainment
that surely will be enjoyed by all
who appreciate darkey humor and
the old-time melodies, mingled with
the latest of ragtime and jazz.
For both the Christmas mat
inee and night performance the de
mand for seats at the Orphcum has
been immense. A topline feature is
a concert act contributed by vaude
ville's charming musicians, the Six
Kirksmith sisters. Vocally and in
strumentally their performance
scores a decided hit. Another of
the chief attractions is the other
headline feature, Winston's water
lions and diving girls. The act car
ries the largest portable glass tank
ever constructed, ana in its o.uuu
gallons of water he sea animals
perform astonishing feats. They
imitate every dive and every swim
ming stroke used by the diving
girls.
If you've forgotten to buy your
self a Christmas present the op
portunity is open for you this after
noon or evening at the Gayety
where The Burlesque Review is
handing out Christmas cheer in ;

man's town. Matinee today at 3:00. j
