Yards National Bank Uses Bus to -Take Women Employes Home ThevStreet car strike came and went, but its effect on the 'Stock Yards National bank was not tran sitory. Since that time no woman employed in the bank has been com pelled to take the street car home at 5:30 the nightmare hour for would-be travelers between south and upper Omaha. Promptly at 5:30 a taxi, large enough to carry all women em ployes, appears at the door. It whisks them, to Twenty-fourth and Farnam street, from where they can go to their homes. "We decided that those women who were needed until 5:30 should not be inconvenienced jwith the wait, the crowding and the unpleasant conditions that accompany the 5:30 street cars," said F. E. Hovey, vice president of the bank. "It does not take mufti time to drive the girls to Twenty-fourth and Farnam, and it more than pays."

What is the use of having pro fessionals when our home folks can give a play like "Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop?" Saturday matinee and night all seats in the Brandeis theater were filled and a' fev s,tood to watch the performance given under the aus pices of the First Central Congrega tional church. k," ' ' Alice Duval ' Sturdevant as "Fi Fi" entertained ; her audience in a professional manner. Her voice was excellent and' her grace was charm-ing-rher floral gifts were many. Gretchen'McCoiinell a "Bonnie," Marcus Curran as the "Sandman" and Allan Tukey as "Tack Ham mer" kept, the audience interested during many scenes. No one would have . suspected pretty Charlotte VVUliams of being anything but a witch, so well did she act her part. Hart Jenks was good in the role of "Lieutenant Tinheart," and his speaking- voice was excellent. "Ink Spot," played by Lucy Garvin, fur nished, comedy, and Mildred Todd as the "Rag Doll" was graceful in her mapeuvers. Adelaide, Fogg danced a solo dance with bridesmaids in a beau tiful scene. -t More applause was given the Jumping jacks, the "Paper 'Dolls," the "Sprites," "Christmas Fairies," the "Letter Blocks" and "Noah's Ark Animals'" than any of the grown-up. These scenes were com posed of children and it is a never-to-be-disputed fact that children are beautiful. , The play, was a great success and the proceeds will be turned over to a building fund for a new church. a The Red Lantern," at the Boyd, Proves to J3e All That Was Promised Staged in a sumptuous manner, "The Ifcd Lantern," starring Alia Nazimova, was" presented at a dress tehearsal for the trade, press rep resentatives and a few of the general public at the Boyd theater last night as a preliminary to the opening of its two week engagement today. An oriental ballet, led by Miss Marion, presented a prologue as the opening ndmber. Six girls costumed in Chinese dancing costumes per formed a most creditable Oriental opening dance and Miss Marion's interpretative role followed. The opening number has been cleverly conceived with artistic lighting effects and timed with music befitting the theme of the story. The picture itself proves to be all that has been promised for it in ex travagant settings and Mile. Nazi mova's art has made of the difficult dual role a work of art on the screen. There is nothing cheerful about the story of the Boxer days in China, but is all a strongly dramatic story of the half-castle girl placed be tween her own people who deride her, and the foreigner who despises her. Ultimately she be comes the goddes of the Red Lan tern and the sponsor of the ill-fated Boxer cause. Promises Suit Against City When Officers Force Search of Car F. A. Wood, 2220 Howard street, district manager of the Nebraska Oldsmobile company, was arrested last night on the Douglas street bridge and charged with resisting an "officer when he refused to let City Detective Robey and State Agent Samardick search his auto mobile. Wood was defiant and said he would make a test case of his arrest to prove that it was un lawful to search a man's automobile or his valises' without a search war rant. He will file suit against both city and state, alleging false arrest, he says. Captain Vanous held Wood with out bond until 15 minutes after 10 o'clock, until Samardick . could get a search warrant sworn out to search Wood's car. In the mean time, Mrs. Wood sat in 'the car in front of the police station. No booze was found in the car when it was searched. . When the police had satisfied themselves that there was no liquor in Wood's , car, he was released on $50 cash bond and allowed to go home.
