CITIZENS WANT
TO KNOW REASON
FOR GAMBLING
inconsistency or uiiy uiriciais
Is More Than Prominent
Business Men Can Under
stand. In terms ringing with indignation,
denunciation and contempt, Ak-Sar-Bcn
governors with one acclaim
yesterday gave vent' to unqualified
sentiment following Police Commis
sioner Dean Ringer's action in al
lowing the Patterson shows to con
duct "gambling games at Twenty
first and Paul streets, when last
Vear a commits rnri"entinr th
very best citizens of Omaha were
condemned as "no better than the
gamblers of the Third ward" by city
authorities when application was
made for permission to run the
same character of games in connec
tion with the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival.
The question is being asked on
every hand who arranged for police
protection for these fly-by-night
shows when last year Mayor Smith
and Commissioner Ringer took an
emphatic stand against the Ak-Sar-
"Ben conducting identical games.
Same Officials.
Men prominent in business cir
cles, leaders of enterprise in the
community, are at a loss to under-
stand why a foreign string of
snows snouia De allowed to -set up
their gambling devices in Omaha,
unquestioned by Mayor Smith and
Commissioner Ringer, when only a
few months ago a committee heacUd
by George Brandeis, Randall Kr
Brown and C. E. Black were told
Jio game -of chance would be per
mitted on the Ak-Sar-Ben grounds,
now innocent and harmless it might
be.
s The Patterson ""shows obtained
their permit to run their gambling
games from the same officials at
trie cityshall who denounced the lo
cal organization as "Third ward
gamblers" when they asked the
same permission.
From 20 to 25 of these chance
games were allowed to go full blast
from Monday until Wednesday
while from 10 to IS policemen stood
idly by and allowed them , to go
night and day with the very same
character of devices used last year
on the Ak-Sar-Ben grounds by
Mogy Bernstein when he was ar
rested and thrown in jail on a
charge of operating a gambling
game. Men, women and children
P'ayed overtime for three ,days
while the Patterson shows reaped
a harvest until word was received
at the city hall that The Bee pho
tographer was on the grounds tak
ing pictures.
Chief Eberstein then immediately
sent a squad of policemen to close
up the games. Many persons are to
day questioning Chief Eberstein'
inconsistency in arresting , Mogy
Bernstein; member of the Ak-Sar
Ben, when out of the 20 odd nor-

A LLA NAZIMOVA. in what is
L said to be the greatest photo-
play of her successful screen
career, will appear in Omiha to
night at the Boyd theater in "The
Red Lantern." It is a story of Mah
lee, a half-caste Chinese girl, who is
brought up in the Chinese faith, lat
er to be sent to an European mis
sion. She comes under the sway of
a Chinese doctor, an ardent member
of the boxer cause, and under his
tuitelage becomes the goddest of
the boxers.
"The Red Lantern" is one of the
first of the great picture plays
brought to this city to be exploited
in all its ways. There is being pre
sented with the picture not only a
series of expensive stage settings,
costing several thousands of dollars,
but also an Oriental ballet, consist
ing of 12 people, headed by Mile.
Marion. Chinese and Oriental
1 dances, which are shown as a part-
of the photodrama, are given by the
ballet amidst Oriental settings, the
effect of all being an entertainment
seldom seen in film presentation.
W. W. Hodkinson company an
nounces the release of a number of
big feature pictures for the next few
months. Leah Baird in "As a Man
Thinks" is the first, and will be fol
lowed by J. Warren Kerrigan in
"The Best Man"; E. K. Lincoln and
a star cast in "Desert Gold," a Zane
Grey story, and next, Wilfred
Lucas in "The Westerners."
Some directors assert that kittens
are the most difficult animals to di
rect in pictures. Hampton del Ruth,
who is working on a new Para-mount-Senoett
comedy, says this is
all wrong. The small boy, he sol
emnly affirms, is the most difficult
of all animals to manage. Del Ruth
has a gang of youngsters in some of
his new scenes. He says that when
the bad littl&'boys are not teaching
the good little boys to shoot craps,
the whole gang is chasing cats over
the back fence of the studio or su
perintending a dog fight.
Mile. Nazimova is to appear in
"The Brat," she and her company
having started work on it already,
"The Master Mystery," starring
Houdini, the genius "escape" artist,
residents committing the same of
fense not a single arrest was made.
Pleads Ignorance.
Asked for an explanation Com
missioner Ringer replied that he
knew nothing about the affair. "I
did not know even that there was
a circus in town," he declated.
"Maybe he will find out one of
these days that the Ak-Sai-Ben is ia
Omaha," was the comment of one
of the governors when he read Mr.
Ringer's statement.
"I was utterly amazed," declared
C. E. Black, president of the Pease
Black company. "After reading ot
the inconsistency of Mayor Smith
and Commissioner Ringer my feel
ing was one of disappointment.
Those of us who take pride in our
progressive city certainly feel a deep
humiliation when we contemplate

During the filming of "The Test
of Honor," John Barrymore's new
Paramount picture, it became nec
essary in one scene to show an ap
parition in the jail where the hero
is serving for a murder he did not
commit. A large, muscular actor
was engaged for the part and Barry
more himself attended to his make
up. '"I know the sort of face it
would take to give me the creeps,"
he said, "and that's the sort of face
I'll put on him." 'An hour later the
actor was brought down before ' the
director for inspeetion, and the
unanimous verdict of the company
was that he had the most terrifying
'countenance they had yet seen.
"Only lobster and mince pie could
produce a face like that," one of the
actors said.

this miserable behavior on the part
I of our city's chief executive and po
'lice commissioner. It was unfair,
f unfortunate and inexcusable.
' "I do not care to express mv
opinion as to the motive which
prompted Mayor Smith and Com
missioner Ringer to this rank dis
crimination." Mr. Black, as a member of the
committe which waited on Mayor
Smith and Commissioner Ringer
last year recalled Mayor Smith's re
mark when he told the governors of
the Ak-Sar-Ben that they 'were no
better than Third ward gamblers.
Unfair and Unjust.
"I do not hesitate to add my de
nunciation," declared Randall K.
Brown of the Coal Hill Coal com
pany. "I think it was unfair and un
just in the extreme. In the first place
there was no harm in the games we
proposed, which we have been using
in connection with our annual car
nival for years. It was decidedly
wrong to deny us a right which was
accorded these shows of the road."
"It was the dirtiest of all dirty
deals," said John D. Weaver, secre
tary of Ak-Sar-Ben. "To my certain
knowledge Mayor Smith and Com
missioner Ringer deliberately and by
design rendered themselves as ob
noxious as possible to the Ak-Sar-Ben.
Their unfair actions cost the
organization $10,000.
"I know Mayor Smith and Com
missioner Ringer knew September
1 they were going to close down
our games. I did not contract for
the concessions until September 18
and the first intimation we had of
the contemplated actions of the city
officials was September 25, the day
our carnival opened. They were
not even considerate enough to let
us know in advancef their unfair
and unreasonable plans.
"When our committee waited 'on
the city officials to plead to be al
lowed to run as we had been going
since the organization, of Ak Sar
Ben, the mayor was nof even courte
ous. He was absolutely rough and
abusive.
Blame at City Hall.
"I will withhold my opinion as
to the motive which actuated police
protection for the Patterson shows.
The Patterson shows are clean, the
management isclean and I do not
think they should be blamed one
bit. The blame Jies at the city
hall."
Discrimination Wrong.
"There should be no discrimina
tion," said W. D. Hosford. "If the
devices at the circus grounds were
the same as the Ak-Sar-Ben were
not permitted to operate, then they
should not have been permitted."
"The money that the Ak-Sar-Ben
would have taken in would have re
mained in Omaha; the money the
circus takes in is taken away from
Omaha," was the comment of Gould
Dietz. "I don't care to discuss the
matter anv further. Just forget me
and ask the other governors about I
it."
"Maybe they won't know that the
Ak-Sar-Ben is in town this fsdl and
will let us run oaddle wheels, A. 1'
Guiou commented. "I, notice in The
Bee that Mr. Ringer said he did not
know there was a circus in town.
But I don't want tosay anything to
antaeonize that crowd. I'd rather
just sit tight."
Attitude Inconsistent
"The attitude taken by the police
authorities and Police Commissioner
Ringer is inconsistent, v said
Charles L. Kennedy.
"Although the Nebraska statute
is a dead letter, it has not been
changed and the Patterson shows
have no more legal right to operate
freely gambling devir.es than the Ak-
iar-Ben had in 1918.
"It seems to me that with 10 to
IS men on the ground daily, I would
not be blind to conditions there."
Paving of Farnam Street From
Tenth to Eighth Finished
The paving of Farnam street,
from Tenth, east to Eighth, has
been finished, thus giving an asphalt
driveway into the jobbing district
in the eastern portion of the city.
Farnam street, from Tenth, east
was originally paved with granite
block. It was about the first paving
laid in the city and was put down
something more than 30 years ago.
