A. Muruhv with extreme I crueiys I AT THE THEATERS OF ALL clown acts, the one most unusual ever to be done on the Orpheum stage is pre sented this week by the Briants. The suoposed dummy resembles a lax bundle of old clothes, seemingly quite inanimate. He astonishes the audience with the fact of his being a live person. This is hut a minor phase of the current bill at the Or pheum, a show headed by Eddie Foy and the younger Foys in their new vehicle called "Slumwhere in New York." The - Foy family is more amusing this time than ever before. A matinee will be played at the Boyd this afternoon, when "The Confession of a War Bride" will again be presented by the company now there. This interesting story is attracting a great deal of atten tion on account of its quality and the manner in which it is played. It remains all week. Capacity houses greet the clean est, classiest bill presented at the Empress this season. It has as the headliner "iMiss 1920," a Revue of the Times, a musical comedy, elab orately staged and costumed. Sims Si Warfield, song writers, also in troduce their own song successes, "I Ain't Got Nobody," "Brown Skin," and others. An empty ticket rack after each performance continues to be the condition of affairs in the box office of the Gayety, where magnetic Mol lie Williams, the only and logical successor to Anna Held, is playing twice a day to all the people the theater will hold. Her serio-comic playlet, "The Queen of Hearts," in which she impersonates a Spanish "vamp," is a decided novelty in mu sical burlesque and affords the little lady great dramatic scope. Ladies' matinee daily at 2:15. Selwynn and company will pro duce, earlyin the spring, "The Three Graces," by Jane Murfin and Jane Gowl, authors of "Lilac Time." The receipts from the perform ance of "When a Feller Needs a Friend," for the Stage Women's War Relief fund, amount to over $2,000. . The Society of American Singers in New York will shortly revive Reginald De Koven's and Harry B. Smith's famous opera, "Robin Hood.' At the Actor's Fund benefit in New York, a 1-cent comedy by W. D.

Polled Hereford Breeders Hold Annual Meeting Here The Nebraska Poland-Hereford Breeders' association held its annual meeting at the Hotel Castle yester day followed by a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was concluded by the election of oficers, which resulted in E. H. Gifford of Lewiston being chosen president; J. C. Hatz of DeWitt, vice president; Boyd C. Radford of Newark, secretary and treasurer and H. J. Smith, Bellwood, and John Herold of Lewiston, di rectors. The number of women present indicates the growing inter est being taken by women in live stock breeding. Mrs. G. W. Hold rege, gave an excellent talk on "What Polled Herefords Have Done for Me." The annual sale' of' 60 head of cat tle will be held at the stock yards today. Wheat Embargo , Laid Because of Stores Here On account of the grain elevators of the Omaha terminals having been filled to capacity, or nearly so, an embargo has been laidQn the ship ment of wheat to this market. At this time the government has around 5,000,000 bushels in storage here, and this added to the quantity held by local concerns and outside customers, practically exhausts the 10,000,000 bushel space. It is expected however, that the situation will be relieved within a few days and that Omaha will be open for the shipment of wheat from all points. Butters. Photographer, is Bound Over to District Court A. E. Butters, Omaha "amateur photographer," whose place was raided and hundreds of photographs of girls of tender years,, posed in the nude, seized was arraigned in police court Tuesday morning on a charge of aiding and abetting the delinquency of six 10-year-old girls. He waived preliminary examina tion and was bound over to district court under bonds of $750, which he furnished. Here is Chance for Boy to Secure a Good Home Rev. C. W. Savidge has received a call from a well-to-do rancher, with ranches in South Dakota and Montana, where he raises both sheep and cattle. This man has a 13-year-old son, and he asks Rev.

MADE BT SCOTT BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION 19-3 THE TIASHEtfT THOTO PIAY. OFFERINGS FOR. TODAY KITTY GORDON in "Adelc" will be the offering at the Muse for today and the rest of this week in a story of a girl from Louisiana who becomes a Red Cross nurse in France. The part played by Miss Gordon is a fascinating one and one that calls upon the best she has to offer in histrionic ability in order to make of the play a really great piece of screen work. It is the first play that Miss Gordon has made under the banner of the United Pic ture Theaters and in it she has done herself full justice, for the fine record she has made on the screen is fully upheld. Althgugh, built with the great war as a background "Adele" is not a war picture, but a love story. Theda Bara in "The Light" at the Sun today and the remainder of this week portrays the life of "the wickedest woman in Paris" who at the time that everyone else is sacri ficing for their country ii living a life of riotous revelry. And at the call of a sculptor who has been blinded when just at the height of his power she gives. up her life of ease and plenty and goes to live with him to care for him. And through the haze of all her wicked deeds there shines to her the light of a better and purer life", a life of sacri fice for the blind sculptor. Miss Bara is at her best in such an emotional role as is called for in "The Light," and has built into the play her own skillful interpretation f -the part of the fallen, woman, i Geraldine Farrar is to be seen next in "Shadows," a strongly dramatic story of life in Alaska. "The Stars as They Are," a film showing the home life of well known picture stars will be issued this month by Educational. In the pic ture are such well known faces as Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Miles Minter, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, Montague Love, John Emerson. James Kirkwood, Anito Loos and others. , Omaha is to have another oppor tunity to witness the greatest play in which Theda Bara has ever starred "Salome."
