OMAHA theater lovers are look
unfo Miss Dolores Vallecitta
as nigh unto a "proverb
breaker." The leopard cannot change its
spots! Down through history has
this wisdom wise come. But there
appears a little, dark, Spanish-looking.
lady at the Orpheuni who with
a gentle way well nigh banishes
Solomon's lore by seemingly chang
ing, (if not the leopard's spots), at
least to outsiders, his disposition I
"Ho'v does she do it?" they whis
pered in awe as the spotted animals
did htr bidding, romped and played
at her call, and as she fearlessly,
lovingly handled, them. ,
''How do you do it?" repeated jhe
a seeker of "whys." v
"How do I do it?" she challenged.
"That is the question of the world.
All I can say is that I train them
like mothers train their children.
They're just little cats to me and I
, have .no more fear of them than of
kittens. Like children they each
have distinct dispositions, character
istics. They must be scokled, loved,
encouraged and cared for as chil
dren. - -
"I show them just what I want
them to do, and when once they ac
complish it. make such a fuss over
them that they know that that is the
thing to repeat."
"It's a gift that madame has," in
sisted the keeper in her absence,
"and it's a gift that few people
have." v
The foundation of all is the love
of animals, as Madame Vallecitta
says, and as she can not understand
how people can scorn a cat, dog
or leopard, neither can they fathom
her wonderful love for her animals.
She has loved them always, worked
with them for 19 years. But sell
one? never! One leopard she al
lowed in a zoo with the understand-
' Henderson-Johnson Wedding.
A surprise wedding of the week
was that of Miss Mabel Johnson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
E. Johnson and Ralph Torner Hen
derson, son of Mr. and Mrs. George
J. 'Henderson which took place
Monday evening at the-home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Vandivere. Rev.
Frank G. Smith read the marriage'
lilies. Mr. and Mrs. Vandivere were
the attendants. ,
The bride is a very charming
young woman and has many friends
here. Mr. Henderson has recently
received his discharge from, his
country's service. The young couple
have taken an apartment at Drake
Court . '
Benefit Dance.
The benefit dance to be given by
the Columbia club for the Mercy
home and school for working girls,
is to be held May 7 at the city au
ditorium. The Columbia club is
composed of SO business girls who
have spent a great deal, of time'on
war work during the past two years.
They are now putting forth great
efforts to make this dance a success.
This home has long been needed by
our growing city, and the Columbia
club solicits the co-operation of the
citizens of Omaha to make this
dance a success. Tickets on sale at
Beaton's drug store and Jacobs-Lee
drug store, Fifteenth and Douglas.
Harp Concert at Fontenelle.
There will be a most interesting
and unusual harp program Sunday
evening at the Fontenelle hotel,
when little Miss Thelma.Skeen will
be presented in recital by Miss De
Lone, assisted by two other harpists.
At the age of 14 this talented young
musician has a repertoire of "125
standard harp solos. -
Dancing Parties.
The Ja-Da Dancing club will give
a party on Tuesday at Kel-Pine's
hall. - '

Lourdes parish will give a card
party and dance, Monday evening at

hands the leopard should be return
ed to her. .
Tn I inrr1n nm snnlted "kittv" he
came ill and the act was discontinued.
elegrams ana letters new Detween
AfiMini. Val!iritta herself came to
Omaha, but no one was found to
cure a leppard. A telegram to cy
De Vry in Chicago brought the mes
sage to "send Vic here at once," but
instead, "I nursed him myself," said
the leopard's little owner. "I gave
him Dover powders and treated him
as though he were a child who had
become ill. There has been no work
for Vic; since that."
They eat just as particularly as
the most fastidious person. Chick
ens, steak, milk and cream and cat
nip are their stables, and $5 every
day is their allowance.
But the lady herself? A mixture
of the timid, the dreamer, the gentle
and elusive, she seems.to cast her
spell of personality over people as
well as animals.
Acting, traveling, riting, com
posing, drawing! she -Jias touched
them .all ,
"Im afraid I am a dabbler in all
things avery dangerous trait," she
admitted.
She has traveled around the world
three times, played in India, Aus
tralia and was in South Africa when
the war broke out. The stories of
what followed are a series of Zeppe
lin raids and thrills. But what caus
ed" most tragic hours was ttie sepa
ration of Madame Vallecitta and her
husband from her five leopards. On
separate boats, with no connection
by wireless, they were taken to Hol
land, where she found them in a
public zoo.
A book of her travels and her an
imals, many unusual poems of phi
losophy she has picked up from peo
ple and the world, clever little car
toons all these are "behind the
scenes" of the lady's life who is
causing so much interest in' Omaha
circles. "
Immediately after her work in
Omaha Madame Vallecitta though
Dolores fits her better will rest a
week here and then return to Kan
sas City and New York. . F'rom
there she will go to Spain and
France.
"From now on my work will cen
ter more about myself than the leopL
ards," she explained, "but they have
had the headlines for so long that I
fear we may be jealous of each
other."
And what she like?
People and animals.
People "who can be serious and
interested in something," she quali
fied but all animals.
She ' wears' no fursi she wears - no
plumes, she does nothing that could
cotne by harming an animal. .. ,
An interesting work with a more
than' interesting lady no wonder
Omaha people have asked, ' '
"How does she do it?"
