SOUTH SIDE BOY
DIES IN SEATTLE
OF PNEUMONIA
Corp. Lowell Tagg, Veteran of
Many Battles in European
War, Succumbs on
Pacific Coast.
Corp. Lowell Tagg, son of Mrs.
Xellie A. Tagg, and brother of Har
old Tagg, who died at Seattle,
Wash., last Friday of pneumonia,
wan born in South Omaha July 11,
18';8. He went to school in Omaha
and enlisted in the coast artillery at
Fort Worden, Wash., in October,
1915.
Early in the year 1918, he was
one of the company from this post
that sailed down the western coast,
crossed through the Panama Canal,
landed at New York City and then
sailed from there to France the lat
ter part of last March. He was in
several battles in France and .was
wounded in the St. Mihiel drive and
was ten weeks in Base hospital No.
59 recuperating from his injuries.
The 65th coast artillery corps, to
which he belonged, 'returned from
France February of this year on the
English liner Havorford. They were
the first troops to land at Philadel
phia, which place they reached
January 30, and were then sent from
there to Camp Dix, N. J. His com
pany came through Omaha Friday,
February 14, on its way to their old
post at Fort Worden.
Corporal Tags was stricken with
pneumonia on the way west and
was taken off the train at Seattle,
Wash., on February 18 and placed
in the Providence hospital, where
he passed away at 3 a. m. February
28.
His mother left Omaha for Seat
tle on February 26, but did not ar
rive there until Saturday morning,
March 1. The house service section
of the Red Cross in Seattle did
everything possible for Corporal
Tagg during his illness. They alst
took charge of the body before his
mother arrived and did everything
iti their power to assist her while
she was in Seattle. Mrs. Tagg is
returning with the body and should
arrive in Omaha this afternoon.
Final arrangements! for the serv
ices are not as yet completed, but it
is very likely that the funeral will
l)e held some time Thursday of this
week.
Corporal Tagg was a nenhew of
A. W. Tagg and W. B. Tagg at the
Live Stock exchange building.
Man Is Confined When
He Would Not Be Fined
Sam Wolfson's objections to pay
ing a $5 fine imposed by Police
Judge Foster were soon overcome
when the judge ordered that the of
fender be confined until he did pay
it. Wolf son, who is the pro
pVietor of a grocery store at 2503
M street, was haled into court on
the charge of driving on the wrong
side of the street and passing a
street car which was taking on and

AT THE
THEATERS
ONE of the regular annual
events on the program for
Merchants' week, an Orpheum
Theater party, will be given tonight.
The Merchants' Week association
has engaged 1,500 seats for this oc
cassion. Those charming dancers,
with elaborate costume changes, the
Barr Twins," are offering what is
termed a refreshing interlude of
song and dance as one of the head
line attractions this week. Sharing
stellar honors with them is the vo
calist of distinction, Maul Earl,
who is presenting the elaborately
staged offering. "The Vocal Ver
dict." Bessie Rimple in "A Child of
Childs," appears as the waitress who
is tired of her job and wants to be
a "crook." How she is cured of her
ambition is humorously presented in
the clever mystery farce. Gus Ed
wards' Annual Song Revue with a
company of 30 comes next week.
The sheer novelty of "Maytime,"
appeals to all classes of 'amusement
seekers. It has. a human story
which, enchaining the audience's in
terest at the outset, develops logical
ly and entertainingly to a surprising
climax, which is reached three gen
erations later in our own busy
times. The sprightly melodies with
which the story has been framed,
have the virtue of enhancing the
play's action and smoothly dovetail
into its progress. The company the
Messrs. Shubcrt have assembled in
cludes John Charles Thomas, John
T. Murray and Carolyn Thomson as
the featured artists and Russell Lan
non. Howard Marsh, George Har-
court, Ezra Walck, Alfred Hemming,
Jenette Mothven, Grace Mudiford,
Isabelle Vernon, Tillie Salinger,
Clarice Snyder, Betty Kirkbride
and Ofelia Calva, (the Spanish danc
er), in other important roles. "May
time" will be the attraction at the
Boyd all next week beginning Sun
day night.
As Colonel Phillippe Bridau, Mr.
Skinner, playing at the Brandeis the
last two times today, has one of the
most fascinating roles he has ever
played, and the combination of a
great actor in an out of the ordinary
is resulting in'an enormous patron
age. The new production is of the
usual Charles Frohman standard,
and the combination of star, play,
supporting cast, and production is
bound to be an event that will be
remembered as one of the high
lights of the current theatrical sea
son. Beginning with Thursday night,
March 6, "Uncle Sammy's Min
strels" will open a three-day engage
ment at the Brandeis theater. This
military organization is composed of
returned United States soldiers, men
who prior to the war were headlin
ers in the minstrel and theatrical
world. Included in the roster of the
company is Baisden and Arnold, well
known composers of wartime songs
who will introduce some of their
new songs here. Stuart and Rath
burn, excentric dancers, who were
on the Orpheum circuit are also with
the company.
the coming engagement at the Bran
deis theater, next week of David
Warfield. The play in which he will
be seen is a revivaof his first great
success. "The Auctioneer," since the
production of which 17 years have
elapsed..
Twice a day the great film pro
duction, "The Birth of a Race," is
being shown at the Boyd. It com
bines in a most attractive form the
elements of allegory and drama,
and, with special music, provides
one of the strongest features of the
picture world today. Performances
both afternoon and evening all
week. '
It there's a wee bit o' Scotch in
you (blood, not whisk) you will
thoroughly enjoy the Scotch com
edy bit in the Great Star and Gar
ter show now at the Gayety. The
two comedians and the straight man
get no end of fun from it and it
supplies no end of laughs for the
big audiences. Incidental to it the
entire beauty chorus, in Scotch cos
tume, is introduced. Ladies' mati
nee daily at 2:15.
Diligent study and wide experi
ence have contributed to the success
of a spectacular scenic novelty,
"Visions in Fairyland," which is the
stellar attraction at the Empress
theater. The production includes a
number of exquisite drops, support
ed by special music composed by
Esbort Vennor of New York.
