THE BEEk OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1919. MORE THAN 2,000 AT ANNIVERSARY OF AK-SAR-BEN Visitors From Surroufrding Territory Entertained at Den; Beauty Chorus Does Itself Proud. More than 2,000 men filled the Ak-Sar Ben den last night and proved that the bigr show of King Ak-Sar-Ben's 25th anniversary is ?o good that a torrid temperature is considered no obstacle .whatever by those who have a chance to see it. Stalwart citizens of Kennard, Cal houn, Bennington, Washington, Mil lard and contiguous country came by automobile and railroad and they proved so sturdy that they "busted" some of the initiation machinery just by going through it. A large representation of former soldiers and sailors and some offi cers from Fort Omaha were pres ent. The show , with its laughing-provoking three acts laid on Mount Olympus, Hades and the bottom of the sea, was put on with a pep that was better, if possible, than ever before. The famous beautv chorus was in fine voice and E. Buckingham stated privately that a man who knows said that if Klaw & Erlanger once heard that chorus they would draft it to the profes sional stage. Principals in Fine Form. Frank Latenser, "Hank',' Dunn, Oscar Lieben, George Long, Walter Adams, Kenneth Reed and the rest of the principals worked in mid seson form. The show was declared a wonder by word, applause and continued laughter and the initia tion stunts "button-busters." "Dan" Butler, prompter, had a little act staged by himself in the final scene, where Oscar Lieben sings a four-line song. Oscar for got the words at the last two per formances and as he started to sing last night, "Dan" handed him the ditty, all written out in plain print. Out in the counting house "Dad" Weaver gloated over a membership roll which had run up to 3,526. Last year at this time the members num bered 1,800. "Remember," said "Dad," "get in before July 15 or you can't get in at all." State Representative Bert Miller of Kennard was the first speaker introduced by the silver-tongued and nimble-witted Charlie Black. Mr. Miller, among other things, urged everybody to vote for the paving bonds and said they would attend to their paving over in his county to connect up with Douglas county. Col. J. M. Banister spoke for the American legion, and Capt. "Chick" McLaughlin, recently returned from overseas, spoke for the returned soldiers and sailors. Next Monday will be Saunders county night at the den. Big dele gations from Ashland, Yutan, W hoo, Mead and other towns as well as the country will see the big show. Ten Recruits Enlist for Overseas Service; (lev. Dr. Lowe to Speak Ten new soldiers enlisted for Un cle Sam's overseas, army yesterday at the local recruiting station. The men came from Omaha and neigh boring states and will be sent at once to whichever one of nine coun tries they have chosen to serve in. Seven of the men were re-enlistcd. The infantry was the choice of most of the men. The total for this dis trict is now about 205 men enlisted , since June 16. Rev. Titus Lowe will speak on "Opportunities in the Army" this noon at 12 o'clock on the court house grounds, following a parade from the Army building at 11:30 o'clock. The, Chamber of Com merce drum corps will play martial strains. A rolling kitchen will be on exhibition soon to draw the at tention of prospective soldiers.

THOTO 'PlAY OFFERING J FOR TODAY THE Rothapfel Unit program which is at the Rialto this fc ' week is composed of five parts, nragaaine, prelude, epilogue, dramat ic feature and comedy. All were produced by Mr. Rothapfel himself. In addition there is also shown a Mack Sennett comedy. "The Woman Thou Gave'st Me," a picturization of Hall Caine'f fa mous novel of the same title, now showing at the Strand, is a dramatic problem drama of a woman who is married to a man whom she de tests. "Playthings of Passion," starring Kitty Gordon at the Muse, is a start ling story of a young society woman who meets love and adventure while in the midst of social work in the tenement districts. Viola Dana in "Some Bride" at the Empress can't refrain from flirt ing with other men. It causes her all kinds of trouble. and lots of fun for an audience. Jimmy Hartigan, dean of all safe crackers, and Gertie Jones, the pret tiest, smoothest little thief wlfo ever laid hands on another woman's dia mond necklace, learned to their sorrow that crime didn't pay. Dis mal vision's of the future haunted their dreams. Then they decided to go straight. Came the wolf in sheep's clothing and they were robbed of the nest egg that was to help them along the straight and narrow path. Monson, a Wall Sstreet manipulator, wove his way into their confidence and out again. With him went their $30,000 and their opportunity to stay straight. A decision must be made without delay. "Pretty Smooth," the latest crook photoplay featur ing inimitable Priscilla Dean, tells the story of the most amazing situa tions that actual police records could provide. It will be seen at the Brandeis theater the last times today and tomorrow. Marv Miles Minter in "A Bach elor's Wife," at the Sun for the last times today attempts to straighten out the love affairs of a girl cousin gets suspected of being the wife of the man in the case and the mother of a pretty baby. It's an awful mix up but in the end she wins a hus band of her own. It takes a good pet to put the star's name in print, but Madge Ken nedy contends she has one worthy of lots of space. It's an Australian Kaola bear, an animal that resem bles a cross between a parrot and a squirrel. H. B. Warner's next play follow ing the release of "The Man Who Turned White," will be "Pagan Gods." Here is a true analysis of STATE OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO INDIVIDUALS Governor McKelvie Empha sizes Importance of Good Roads in Address to Ad vertising Legife. "Nebraska holds out opportunity to the individual," said Gov. S. R. McKe'vie, addressing members of the Advertising-Selling league, in the banquet room of the Fontenelle hotel yesterday evening. The governor refreshed the memories of his hearers with facts and figures of Nebraska's com mercial and educational greatness. "Let us have a perpetuation of this opportunity that impels the star b empire to move westward,", he continued. He emphasized the importance of good roads and told that the legislature appropriated $10,000,000 in a road-building pro gram of which 5,000 miles have been outlined. He predicted that within ive years this state will have not less than 1,000 miles of hard-surface roads outside, of the limits of the cities and towns. "State Offers Opportunities. "Nebraska-can say," he added, ''that she has entered upon a road building campaign that will make us all proud." The governor referred to the cornridsory teaching of Engljsh, stating that people from overseas are encouraged to come to this state, and when they come here, they should be encouraged to teach their children the language of this country. "These people come here because there is opportunity, and few states oKthe union offer them the educa tional advantages to be found in Nebraska," he asserted. He declared that it is the part of good judgement to encourage the development of the potash industry, of the. natural water power of the state, and other industries and re sources. Chosen Honorary Member. "Legislation may be helpful or harrrful to a state," he continued. Nebraska is a safe state in which to live, so far as legislation is con cerned," was another statement by the governor who made one Jf the best booster talks heard here for many months. He was elected an honorary member of the league. The league's Glee club furnished the music. L. H. Mattson was re elected president for anothr year. C. E. Bradley was elected vice presi dent and E. L. Droste treasurer. The following committees were elected: Manufacturers Penn Fodrea and Frank Meyers. Finance E. T. Swobe and Harry Koch. Advertising Service A'. C. Thom as and Jack Correa.

"Sixty-nine of that 70 per cent receives its scenario back, with re grets. "One half of one per cent says its brain child was ruined. "The other half (minus a frac tion) never sees its story produced. "Xhe fraction receives a check and becomes a regular offender. "The 65 per cent there upon says its idea was stolen, its "idea" being the eternal triangle with variations; also said 69 per cent wrote on both sides of the paper with a pen or pencil and did not enclose stamps for re turn. "The scenario editor has no profit in his own company." Beatrice Michelana who is ap pearing at the Muse in "Just Squaw" today, has completed two other photodramas which will be released soon, "The Spitfire" and "The Deadline.'

Maids-of-AII-Work Give Place to Home Assistants "Home assistants" is the new ap pellation given to domestics who will soon supplant the maid-of-all-work in performing domestic du ties, according to Miss Beth How ard, employment secretary of the Y.

Under the new plan, housemaids will work but eight hours a day, will have all the dignity of tfieir sisters in other lims of employment and will be allowed to carry the key to the house.

New York, June 23. Edward (Eamonn) de Valera, president of the Sinn Fein irish republic, emerged dramatically Monday night from the seclusion in which he had kept himself since his arrival in the United States. In a statement to the press, at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where he was greeted by wildly enthusiastic followers, he de clared he had come to America "to speak for the Irfth nation." De Valera, a tall, smooth-faced, clear-eyed young Irishman, was born in New York in 1882, but sa;d he "renounced" his American cit izenship when he became an Irish soldier. He declined to tett how he contrived to reach America, but said he came here from Boston sev eral days ago. It was stated that during his stay in New York he has beeli living at the Carmelite Priory in East Twenty-ninth street. His secretary, H. J. Boland. said that while in Boston, De Valera en deavored to arrange an audience with Cardinal O'Connell, but did not see him. Prior to that, he said, he was! in Philadelphia where he saw Michael J. Ryan, who was a member of the Irish peace delega tion r nd Dr. K. J. McCartan. He de clared De Valera had visited Balti more where he saw Cardinal Gib bons and Washington, where he met several United States senators. He said that he also paid a visit to his mother in Rochester, N. Y. De Valera read his statement to newspaper men. He desired, he said, to express the aspirations of the Irish people exactly as he felt them and "not as the British propagan dists" had been quoting him for the American press. He said he did not purpose "campaigning" Ahe United Stages, in the Irish cause, but that he might go to Washing ton. Asked if he had been invited to address the United States sen ate, said he had not. The men who established y6ur re public sought the aid of France," read Mr. De Valera, from his state ment. "We seek the aid of Amer ica." Boy Arrested for Throwing Firecrackers at Women Jack Wcngender, 16 years old, 3218 Charles street, was arrested last night by Officer Buglewicz at Twerty-fourth and Decatur streets and charged with disturbing the peace.
