Monday night by Officer Zorack as
the clock struck 12 on Twenty

The officer searched the vicinity
but found no traces of burglary.
The police have decided that
"whomsoever the shoe shall fit, let
him or her put it on" and like
wise become owner of the hair tonic.

FRkD Stone, appearing in "John
ny Get Your Gun," will be the
feature at the Rialto today and
for the remainder of this week.
Stone has a role in which he plays
the part of Johnny Wiggins, a cow
boy motion picture actor who has
been commissioned by Bill Burn
ham, his chum, to assume his name,
prevent the marriage of Bill's sis
ter to a fortune hunting count and
to look after her fortune until he
(Bill) getts out of jail. How Johnny
fulfills his ' mission forms a story
which must be seen in its cinema
development to appreciate fully.
The picture was directed by Donald
Crisp and the support is excellent.
Stone has a number of his famous
acrobatic stunts in action in the
picture.
A woman who defies the world
for her ideals is Theda Bara in "The
Siren's Song," which is to be shown
at the Sun theater beginning today.
The star plays the part of a young
fishermaid of Brittany. Spurned by
her lover, she makes her way to
Paris, where her voice wins fame
and fortune. It also brings to her
a man who loves her truly. She
lives with him until her girlhood
lover reappears. Under the guise of
religious fervor, he weans her away
from the man who has brought
happiness into her life. By prac
ticing her artful wiles upon him,
the unhappy girl discovers that his
religious zeal is merely, a cloak to
hide his hypocrisy.
Paris of the early 19th century
was brought to and built "some
where in New Jersey" for the film
ing of Victor Hugo's greatest melo
drama, "Les Miserables," in which
William Farnum portrays the part
of the immortal Jean Valjean. It
is being shown at the Muse.
Martin Johnson's amazing film
revelations of savage life in the
South Sea Islands will be shown at
the Brandeis theater for four days,
beginning Sunday, May 11. There
are several different tribes, all of
whom are cannibals, very black,
very shiny, of a light build, with
thick wooly hair, flat noses and ex
pressions ranging from the ferocity
of the chief, to the shy children
posing half proudly, half willingly.
The lack of clothes is a shock to
some in the audience, and yet the
naked young girl of the Solomon
Island is as free from self-consciousness
in her ear-ringed estate
as she is unaware that clothes is a

Former Director of

by Death of Mother
Out on the first vacation that he
had taken in four years, William A.
Campbell, for a long time an Omaha
newspaper man, later director of
publicity of the Chamber of Com
merce, but' now one of the owners
of the Independent of Helena, Mviit.,
was called here by the death of his
mother, Mrs. J. A. Campbell, a res
ident of the city since 1881. She was
68 years old. - .
At the time of receiving the tel
egram announcing the death of his
mother, M-. Campbell was in New
Orleans He immediately started
back, but was delayed by floods and
washouts and did not arrive until
after the funeral. At the time of
her death, Mrs. Campbell was vis
iting a daughter in Ainsworth, Neb.
Mrs. Campbell is survived by three
sons. Will A., Glenn M. and Bert,
all of whom live in Helena, and com
prise the corporation that owns the
Independent. There are two daugh

TO comply with, the many re
quests, realizing that Omaha
music-lovers cannot be satisfied
with the brief program offered by
Sweden's young violin virtuoso, Jan
Rubini, during the vaudeville per
formances, the management of the
Orpheum has arranged for a special
recital to be given by him on Friday
afternoon, May 9. All those who
attend the matinee Friday are-cordially
invited to remain , after the
regular performance for Rubini's
recital. Rubini will render the fol
lowing program:
I.
(A) Gypsy's Airs Fable Sarasate
(b) Zdenko Flbich Poem Jan Kubelik
(c) Legende H. Welniawski

"Those wonderful Barrymores!"
That is an exclamation quite preva
lent now among playgoers and the
reason for the wonder is not far to
seek. It is a bit unusual for one
family to be represented in a most
distinguished fashion irf a profession
by three members, all of them
youthful. Which comment is called
to mind by the announcement that
Ethel Barrymore is to make her
welcome reappearance here, after an
absence of several years, at the
Brandeis theater for four perform
ances, beginning Thursday evening,
May 8th, in R. C. Carton's comedy,
"The Off Chance."

There are several acts of high
merit at the Orpheum this week.
One is the performance of the
Swedish violinvirtuOso, Jan Rubini.
Patrons of the Friday matinee will
be'invited to remain for a, special
recital to be given by him, following
the regular afternoon performance.
The stellar attractions this week in
clude the distinguished dancing act
of the Marmein sisters. Another
stellar offering is the four-scene
play, "Tom Walker in Dixie," with
John B. Hymer playing the chief
role. Joe Jackson, the funniest of
all pantomime clowns, is a feature
of the current show.
On account of previous bookings,
"Mickey," after a second exception
ally successful run at the Brandeis
theater, must close with today's per
formances, running continuous from
11 to 11. Mabel Normand, who is
"Mickey," is a born comedienne
not one of the burlesque type and
through the whole seven reels rip
ples and dances her wholesome hu
nior. The supporting company is
adequate, especially Lewis Cody,
the arch villain of them all, who
makes his bad men so attractive
that he always overshadows the
hero.
It is seldom musical comedy stars
are seen in burlesque, but James E.
Cooper has secured for this sea
son's edition of "The Best Show in
Town" Lynn Cantor, a prima donna,
who possesses a happy combination
of a bird-like viceo, ebauty and a
pleasing personality. "The Best
Show in Town" is playing a week's
engagement at the Gayety theater
this week. This is the last week of
the Gayety's season.
Final performances will be given
today of the attractive bill at the
Empress. The stellar attraction, in'
which Bell's Hauaiiane sinorerc

dancers and instrumentalists, fea
ture, is costumed lavishly and is ef
fectively Dresented. Pnniilar snnc
