MISS MERILL of the "Mystic
Garden" company,, at the Em
press, is proud of the fact that
she was made mascot of the Thirty
third tank corps, formerly stationed
at Camp Dix, which included a
number of Omaha boys. The Mystic
Garden company presented its act at
various cantonments and Miss Mer
rill became a great favorite, espe
cially with "her boys of the 33d"
as she proudly calls them. She
was presented with a complete uni
form and taught all the ins and outs
of the tanks and is a genuine "Treat

. The -sale of seats for the coming
engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Dre in "Keep Her Smiling," at the
Boyd theater the first half of next
week beginning Monday night,
promises well for the engagement.
After the Drews long experience in
the "movie" picture world, it is per
haps necessary to emphasize that

ture, but a speaking comedy in three
actS and four scenes in which the
Drews personally appear, supported
by a company of over 20 players. .

"Maytime" has but three more
performances to fill its engagement
at the Boyd, but these promise to
be most interesting. The play has
made itself very popular in Oma
ha, its dainty charm having some
thing of an appeal to all. .
Thus far this week standing room
has been a premium at the Or
pheum, where the bill ;s headlined
by the new song revue of Gus Ed
wards, '"The Fountain of Youth."
In addition to Olga Cook, the
charging prima donna, the act has
a number of gifted principals.- One
of them is Mario Villain, the Ne
apolitan tenor, whose Voice is of,
grand opera quality. Then there i
Helen Coyne, the solo dancer, whose
youth and dainty graces endear her
to every audience. Another feature
of. the current show is the come
dienne, Bessie Browning. Next
week Martin Beck presents the
American, dancer, Lucille Cayanagh.
