STECHER MEETS
ZEOBY Of. MAT AT
00 CITY TONIGHT
Winner to Claim Title .in
Event That Caddock Re
tires; Omaha Fans
to See Bout.
A delegation of mat fans, headed
by Gene Melady will travel over to
Sioux City today to see the Zbysko
!echer wrestling bout tonight.
Melady does not believe that Earl
Caddock will retire from the wrest
ling ring when he returns home and
he wants to "get a new line on the
respective ability of the two men,
one of whom will probably be Cad
dock's first opponent in a champion
ship match when the title holder is
discharged from the army.
If Caddock really does retire, the
winner of tonight's match will be
considered the logical successor to
the crown. Stecher will defend the
title if he 4'ins tonight's match
though he claims he would rather
win it in a bout with Caddock. It
is likely that the winner will be
matched to meet John Pesek at an
early date. Pesek will he at the
ringside to challenge the winner, to
gether with his manager, Mart
Slattery, who will be prepared to
close a deal for such a match.
Breedlove and Shoafstall
Meet Wednesday in Bluffs
Featherweight champion wrestler
Vernon Breedlove will have another
match at the Council Bluffs Audi
torium Wednesday night. , Breed
love has had several matches re
cently in the Bluffs arena, winning
them all. Wednesday he will taks
on the toughest of all his opponents.
Harry Shoafstall, lightweight cham
pion of the south, will attempt to
lower the ieatherweight champion s
colors and judging,from his record,
he has an excellent chance of vic
tory.
laking them on, big and little,
and winning consistently has en
deared Breedlove in the hearts of
wrestling fans. He has made great
numhers of friends since his return
from the army, all of whom will be
on hand Wednesday night to cheer
him on to another victory.
Ihe entire card for the Bluffs
show will include a club-swinging
exhibition by. Jake Breedlove, a
brother of the wrestler, and a one
fall match between Barney Burnam
of Council Bluffs and the equilibrist
wrestler of Omaha, Tom Ray. Den
ny Ryan will referee the matches.
The show is being promoted by Al
r ion.

The freshman team of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, composed of
former Omaha Central High and
Lincoln High stars, will play the
Omaha National Bank five, on the
"Y" floor Saturday night.

Bob Russell and Austin Smith,
former Central High champions,
with Jungmeyer and Munn, six-foot-sixers
from Lincoln High's 1918
quintet will engage the Omaha five.
Budd Smith and Cypreanson, Lin
coln's famous ,"Cyp," are also on

rison and Hawkins compose the
local squad.
Dan Desdune's Famous
Band Pleases Large
Crowd at Auditorium
i
Dan Desdunes' famous negro
band delighted a large audience at
the Auditorium yesterday afternoon,
by rendering with unusual skill, a
program of music much above the
ordinary. The band, which now con
tains some 45 pieces, is well bal
anced and the range of the program
dispelled all doubt as to their abil
ity to play either classical or rag
time music. J. Frank Terry, as the
trombone soloist, who played "The
Rosary," and "Asleep in the Deep,"
was called back several times, and
was one of the big hits of the pro
gram. Another big hit on the pro
gram was the cornet and baritone
duets by Harry Morton and Jeff
Smith. The "Misserere" from "111
Trovatore," was unusually pleasing.
While the printed program ran
mostly to classical and semi-classical
selections, a number of "rags"
were scattered through, mostly as
encores, and these pieces seemed to
please the audience more than the
classical selections.

for The Bee by
AT THE THEATERS
JULIAN F-LTINGE and his com
pany of entertainers afforded
,much merriment at the Bran
deis yesterday, where they started
their engagement with a matinee
performance. While Mr. Eltinge,
with his graceful and effective im
personations, is the center of the
show, around him revolve a number
: ot really interesting performers.
I Chief of these, Marie Meeker on the
i swinging rings, the Amaut brothers
I in their funny musical clowning, and
! Cleo Gascoigne, midget prima
donna, lose nothing for having been
seen before. The Lavars, who open
the show, are vigorous dancers, who
keep moving all the time they are in
sight. Another pair of dancers well
worth watching is Gorhada and Fiti.
Sidney Grant pleaded a bad cold
last night, his hoarseness being evi
dent, and necessarily had to curtail
his contribution. His stories are
well told, witty and enjoyable, and
when he recovers his singing voice
he should aid materially in making
the time pass pleasantly.
Mr. Eltinge has long put behind
him his efforts to deceive, and now
frankly assumes the feminine role.
However, he does it with growing
deftness and increasing certainty,
and presents the Juno type very ef
fectively. His understanding of the
graceful ways, the many dainty
touches, mannerisms and movements
of the ladies is marvelous, constitut
ing a real tribute to the art of the
husky man who can do it so very
well. His songs are new and well
sung, and in one he dresses as a
bride such as any groom might feel
proud to meet at the chancel rail.
A little sketch, "His Night at the
Club," closes the bill. In this bit
of comedy the star uses his art to
full advantage, and even after he is
discovered, sings his best song with
out getting out of the role of the
dashing widow.
"The Birth of a Race," which
opened a week's stay at the Boyd
on Sunday afternoon, is a combina
tion of allegory, Biblical lore and
modern history. Starting with
creation's dawn, in the Garden of
Eden, it successively pictures the
expulsion, the effects of the fall in
the growth of the human race and
its increasing wickedness to the
days of Noah, the building of the
ark, the flood, the slavery of Israel
in F,gypt and the exodus, the
preaching of Christ, his trial before
Pontius Pilate, the Viaf Dolorosa,
and the storm between the third
and ninth hours, with a final
glimpse of Calvary. All this is done
with utmost reverence, accompanied
by explanatory texts, giving connec
tion to and application of the
scenes to the main story that fol
lows. Leaving the Bible, the voy
age and landing of Columbus is
pictured. All this is allegorically
depicted by a stranger to the kaiser
at a council where he has deter
mined on war. He refuses to heed
the warnings of sacred and profane
history, but determines to send to
America agents to sow discord
among the peo'ple and keep them
from coming into the war. Now
begins the modern picture, showing
a German and an Irish family in
New York. The intercourse, the
effects of the propagandists and
the final outcome are all vividly por
trayed. The composition is good,
the photography excellent, many of

BREAKING into prominence by
cowing the town's outlaw is
Louis Bennison's introduction
in "Sandy Burke of the U-Bar-U"at
the Muse again today and tomor
row. It is a true "western" picture,
with battles with bandits and cattle
rustlers through the foothills, and
Sandy manages to best them and
round up the thieves in a fitting
manner. And of course there's a
girl and the hero wins her in the
end, Bennison, whose face is a new
one to Omaha fans of the cinema,
makes a good western star and one
who has been well liked in both of
his productions that have appeared
here.
Mary Miles Minter as Joan Hope,
the daughter of a chewing gum
magnate, finds an opportunity to
trade identities with a real countess.
It appeals to her and in the trade
she has gained a package of stolen
diamonds, a detective trailing her
and several foreign looking friends
who are plotting all sorts of politi
cal plots. There are many mixups,
and Joan is suspected of being a
bolshevik and a thief of jewels, all
of which enhance the adventure de
lightfully, although causing consid
erable trouble in the end. But the
nice young detective proves to be in
love with the girl he has been trail
ing and in the end the crooks are
apprehended and the chewing gum
magnate's daughter finds that the
detective has captured her heart in
place of her person. It's all in "The
Amazing Imposter" at the Sun again
today and Tuesday.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch," with Marguerite Clark in
the leading role, is showing at the
Rialto for the first five days of the
week Miss Clark takes the part of
Lovely Mary in the famous story by
Alice Hegan Rice. In the part cf
the delightful tomboy with a lov
ing mother heart, Miss Clark has
opportunity to display a new sort
of acting. While the role is that of
h tomboy, yet there is a dramatic
interest in the story which can only 2

the pictures being genuinely im
pressive and some thrilling, es
pecially the mob scenes in Jerusa
lem, when the populace, excited to
madness by the priests, clamors
for the release of Barahbas and the
crucifixion of Christ. Special music
adds greatly to the enjoyment of
the pictures.
Hobart Bosworth's characteriza
tion of Wolf Larsen, in his own
dramatization of Jack London's
"The Sea Wolf," commanded ser
ious and approbative attention yes
terday at the Orpheum, where this
stirring dramatic act was offered in
connection with a program of gen
eral excellence. A prologue to the
act is shown in motion pictures
which connect with the scene on
the stage, showing the decks of the
"hell ship" Ghost. For dramatic
purposes the whole gamut of Wolt
Larsen's nature and philosophy ot
life is run in this brief vaudeville
act, but the presentation is stirring.
The argument of the life of Larsen
is expressed in London's own
words, "Verily sadness is ever the
penalty the materialist pays for his
materialism." Moral strength is not
a factor in his scheme of life. Carrol
Ashburn appears as Humphrey Van
Weyden and Ida Stanhope has the
role of Maud Brewster.
Virginia Daly, Mayme LaRue,
Helen Hammond and Gertrude
Moody, "The Four Buttercups,"
made a hit with their musical act
in which quartet numbers called fot
more. Harry and Grace Ellsworth
are' clever entertainers in song and
dance numbers, Mr. Ellsworth's ac
robatic dancing being a feature ot
the bill. Ethel Davis and Freddie
Rich offer "Sings a Ia Carte." Grace
Nelson won three encores yester
day afternoon. Lester Crawford
and Helen Broderick sing and
chatter. Archie and Gertie Falls
have an acrobatic novelty. The
Kinogram screen news of the world
and the Orpheum travel weekly are
the motion picture offerings in con
nection with the vaudeville num
bers. The bill for the first half of the
week at the Empress is headed by
the "Eight Corn Cob Cut Ups," a
singing and dancing act of merit.
Hazel Hickey, pianist, and Miss
Hart, who possesses a sweet so
prano voice, render a series of selec
tions which also scored with the
audience yesterday. Miss Maybelle
Phillips, "Sunshine Comedienne,"
uses a sers of songs and stories
which kept the crowd in an up
roar, and Jack Cahill and Done
Romine have an odd comedy skit,
entitled' "A Comedy Mix-up," which
also made a hit at the opening
show.
The Douglas county court house
will by no means be the only pub
lic edifice in Omaha this week that
will shelter an influx of the legal
fraternity. Reference is made to
the Gayety theatpr, where "Slitkin
& Slotkin, Refined Lawyers," in the
persuasive personages of Watson
& Cohan, are appearing with Barney
Gerald's "Girl's de Looks." The
production is staged and costumed
in the customary thorough Barney
Gerard manner, which means there
is nothing overlooked or to be de
sired. Ladies' dime matinee daily,
all week, at 2:15.

nates of the Western league will
be held in Omaha within the next
10 davs, to complete the prelimi
nary business confronting the mag
nates, necesary to the opening of
the league. No date was set be
cause it is necessary to finish the
St. Joseph franchise matter, and

before holding the meeting.
E. J. Hanlon left for Chicago to
night to turn over the league mat
ters to him. The magnates voted to
change the league headquarters
from Kansas City to Chicago, be
cause Tcamey will be in Chicago
the majority of his time, while not

was adopted to start April .W and

South Dakota Nimrods
Organize in Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 23 (Spe
cial to The Bee) The movement
for the organization of a state
sportsmen's association which re
cently was inaugurated in this city,
is meeting with favor among sports
men throughout South Dakota and
at a meeting to be held in Sioux
Falds Friday it is expected such an
association will be perfected.
Under the present fish and gamt ',
laws of the state no license is re
quired for fishing. The new asso
ciation will ask the enactment of
legislation requiring licenses for
fishing for everyone except women
and children. It also will be de
manded that the policy of the statt
game and fish commission be chang
ed, so that there will be an expendi
ture of the receipts from game li
censes for the benefit of the game
hunters. It will be further de
manded that some of these receipts
for licenses be used in condemning
or purchasing the grounds now
forming duck passes and other hunt
ing grounds It is claimed that most
of the duck passes of the state now
are falling into the hands of priva'$
parties, to the detriment of duc
hunters.
The new association will further
demand that the state game preserve
in the Black Hills be supported by
direct taxation and appropriation in
stead of out of the state game fund,
as at present; that the expense of
improving lakes and waterways
where such improvement does not
directly improve the fishing or hunt
ing conditions, should be borne by
direct taxation instead of out of the
state game fund; that the expendi
ture of the receipts from approxi
mately 35,000 residents of the state
for the privilege of hunting, for the
maintenance of the state game pre
serve and the improvement of lakes
and waterways instead of for the
general improvement of hunting
conditions is unjust and unfair. The
present session of the legislature
will be asked to enact into law the
changes which the new association
is demanding.
