THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 23, 1919.
13 B
SAY, GIRLS,
HOW ABOUT IT?
HOW many girls are there in
Omaha who could look well
as a vampire, a bride, a bath
rsr girl and a gorgeously gowned
woman of society? Without belit
tling the versalUy of fair Miss Oma
ha, it may be said that there are
few, very few, who have this range
sf attractiveness. Julian Eltinge
loes it easily. Eltinge, who pens at
the Brandeis theater in a four-day
tnagement beginning this afternoon,
mccessively impersonates the five
haracters. He is a seductive vamp,
i blushing bride, a shapely beach
maiden and a beautifully gowned
locial leader. To accompany his ap
pearance in these impersonations
Eltinge sings "Polly of the Follies,"
The Siren Vampire," and' "Don't
Trust Those Big Gray Eyes," writ
:en expressly for him. Eltinge, ad
mittedly the foremost of the femi
nine impersonators on the stage to-
day, returns .to the footlights after
in absence of many months. In the
(tipporting company are Sydney
Jrant, who Rained popularity as co
itar with Charlotte Greenwood in
'So Long Letty," Dainty Marie,
featured in "What Next, the Ar
natit brothers, Cloe Gascoigne, for
mer prima donna of the Metropoli
tan Grand Opera company, and the
dancing Lavars. Eltinge's gowns, as
usual, cause considerable comment
among the feminine theatergoers.
They were dewgned by Cor3 Mc
Geachy, former costumer for Zeig
feld'i ''Follies."
In "The Birth of a Race," which
will open a limited engagement at
Boyd's theater today, with matinees
daily, one fact flashes across the
consciousness and has occasioned
so much inquiry among Bible schol
ars as to merit more than a passing
mention. Simon the Cyrenian is
shown as a negro, and the high
honor and everlasting glory of car-
rying the Saviour's cross is given to
the representative of a race, which
' in years not long gone were slaves
and the humblest of the humble. At
that period in history when Simon
the Cyrenian is shown in "The
Birth of a Race," Christ and his
disciples had been teaching and
preaching for some 20 years, and
for years before the birth of Christ
the prophets had foretold his com
ing. Antioch was an important
seaport in Syria and but a short
journey from the city of Cyrene. It
is easy to understand how the
church at Antioch could have mem
bers from the last two named places
with such sea-going nations as the
Phoenicians and - Canaanites as
neighbors. We do not know that
this Simeon was the same who car
ried the cross for the Master, though
"Simon" is but short for "Simeon,"
but it is reasonable to suppose so,
as this Simeon was mentioned in
the church at Antioch only 12 years
after the Crucifixion, and if not the
same man, it is a strange coinci
dence that both Simeons were from
Cyrcne and were men of color.
With the notable character actor,
Hobart Bosworth, in the title role,
the dramatic version of Jack Lon
don's powerful atory, "The Sea
Wolf," comes to the Orpheum this
week as the chief attraction. Ho
bart Bosworth is known as one of
the best character actors of the day.
lie has gjven innumerable Sne char
acterizations, but none to equal his
"Wolf Larsen." Most everybody is
familiar with the Jack London story.
Mr. Bosworth begins it with a bit
., of film, showing the rescue of Van
Woyden from the sinking ferry
boat and the picking up at sea of
Maud Brewster, with the curtain
going up on i view of "The Ghost "
the sealing schooner which Woli
Larsen commands. Lester Crawford
and Helen Broderick, an attractive
girl and a pleasing young man, have
a diversified act which they call
"A Little of This and a Little of
That." The American-made prima
donna, Grace Nelson, is to offer a
short program of songs. An ex
tremely laughable act is to be pre
sented by a quartet known as
"The Four Buttercups." Imperson
. ating theater scrub women, they go
on the stage and try out their
ability. Ethel Davis is a clever
singer of songs and Freddie Rich i
a writer of clever songs. Together
they offer a very popular musical
act. Harry and Grace Ellsworth,
brother and sister, have pleasing
voices and dance extremc.'y well.
Archie and Gertie Falls are to con
tribute what is known as an acro
batic "bump" specialty. Notable
events of current history are to be
pictured in the film review, kino
grams, and views of glaciers and of
the Canadian Rocky mountains are
to be disclosed by the Orpheum
Travel weekly.
"Pals First," a picturization ver
sion of the stage success of the same
name prepared by Lee Wilson Dodd
from the novel written by Frances
Perry Elliott and published by
Harper & Bros, with-Harold Lock
wood playing the stellar role will be
the attraction at the Brandeis
theater on Friday and Saturday,
February 28 and March 1 and the
evening of Sunday, March 2.
Mr. Otis Skinner, under the man
agement of Charles Frohman, Inc.,
will be the attraction at the Brandeis
theater, on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 3, 4 and 5; ap
pearing in his great success of sev
eral seasons ago "The Honor of the
Family." Many social affairs are
being planned for Mr. Skinner dur
ing his local engagement, Mr.
Arthur Met! planning an informal
affair for Mr. Skinner and his man
ager of many seasons, Mr. Leo
Flynn, and the Omaha Rotary club
has invited him to speak at their
banquet at the Athletic club on the
evening of Tuesday. March 4.
Manager Sutphen of the Brandeis
theater has secured "Uncle Sam
my's Ministrels," composed entirely
of returned United States soldiers,
for March 6, 7, and 8who are on a
limited victory tour of 90 days only,
,and Omaha will be one of the 90
cities included in their itinerary. Ac
companying the boys is the famous

One of the season' most im
portant events at the Brandeis will
occur" on Tuesday' and Wednesday,
March 11 and 12. when David Be
lasco will present David Warfield
in a revival of his first great success,
"The Auctioneer." It was David
Warfield's first venture on the legi
timate stage under the Belasco ban
ner, and marked the beginning of
this actor's rapid rise to fame. The
story of "The Auctioneer" is famil
iar to most theatergoers. Through
it all shines the same delightful
character created years ago by Mr.
Warfield, a remarkable portrait of a
Jewish peddler who has, since the
davs when he oeddled for his bread
and butter, accumulated a consider
able fortune, only to lose it througn
an unscrupulous brother. This mis
fortune compels him to again return
to the simple life of a street peddler
without losing any of the finer
character which he possesses.
"Ifavtim " a crrnnin' dramatic

Revival of "The Honor of
the Family"
THE revival of "Tne Honor of
the Family," the alaptation of
the Balzac novel, in which Otis
Skinner will be seen at the Bran
deij theater, March 3, 4 and S, is
now of even more timely interest
than when first produced, 10 years
ago.
Today we have with us constantly,
tained as well as the ear. The sev
eral stage settings bespeak the last
word in the scene painter's art, while
the costuming will undoubtedly
prove a revelation. Ladies' matinee
daily all week. Today's matinee
starts at 3:00.
Sidney Drew and his wife are
again appearing in public and allow
ing their voices to be heard through
the land. Coming direct from a long
engagement at Woods theater in
Chicago. Richard Walton Tully is
to present Mr. and Mrs. Drew' at
the Boyd theater in the near future.
Mr. Tully has given the play a splen
did production and surrounded the
stars with an exceptional company
of players.
The "Eight Corn Cob Cut Ups,"
male comedians, singers, dancers
and musicians provide the stellar at.
traction at the Empress for the first
half of the week. Hazel Hickey,
pianiste, and Miss Hart, possessor
of a sweet soprano voice, render a
series of numbers that never fail to
score admirably. Miss Maybrlle
Phillips, the "Sunshine Comedienne"
uses her own original material in
songs and stories. Jack Cahill and
Done Romine have an odd comedy
skit, entitled "A Comedy Mix-Up."
The stellar attraction for the last
half of the week is the "Rising Gen
eration" presented by Maud Daniel
featuring Mary Caroline Daniel, the
"child orator of the Golden West"
and Charles Monahan, child yodeler.
There are ten children in the act.
Harry and Etta Conley have a rural
comedy skit in which several song
numbers are interpolated. '

in their gayly-colored uniforms,
but with their faces reflecting the
sorrows of their devastated country,
the young veterans of the present
war, the young French heroes who
have so valiantly defended then
country, their beloved France,
against the onslaughts of the Hun.
America has always loved France
and the French. By nature she has
done this, for no American can for
get the debt we owed France, a debt
that has stood for near'y a hundred
and fifty years: but itw that our
boys have fought along-side of our
French comrades, and have worked
hand-in-hand with that glorious na
tion, more than ever do we feel the
common bond of interest and af
fection. In the "Honor of the Family," we
have Otis Skinner as a veteran of
another war, a French veteran;
blustering, fire-eating, but withal
human, and essentially French,
typical of the French nature, for
beneath all .his bluster there is the
kindly spirit and the desire for the
triumph of the right. So it is, that
the spirit of France lives. And when
Otis Skinner returns to town in
this, his greatest acting role, he will
be welcomed with a new interest,
and a new affection, for we love
things French, and we are bound to
love this ex-colonel of Napoleon's
army.
