THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; AUGUST 10, 1919.

Coming Days At the Omaha Theaters
MANAGERS of local theaters
remind us that the summer is
fast waning and that within
a very short time we will be asked
to attend their several offerings.
The Gayety, with its customary
promptitude, will open on Saturday
night. Manager Johnson makes the
t interesting announcement that a
single change will be made in his
successful and popular policy. For
the (joining season every' rr';ht will
be "ladies' night," just as the mati
nees have been especially dedicated
to them for several years. It is also
a matter for local congratulation
that this same enterprising and far
seeing manager has been able to re
new his franchise with the Columbia
Amusement company for another
term of 10 years, thus assuring the
continuity of the Gayety as the place
where the best of burlesque musical
shows are exhibited. Ten years ago
it was an experiment, but Mr. John
son had courage as well as faith, and
his venture long ago was listed
among the successes. His contribu
tion to the cause of burlesque has
been of a most noteworthy charac
ter, for through him this class of en
tertainment has been freed from
feature some thought were objec
tionable, and its standard so raised
as to make it most acceptable to all.
It is a comfort to so record the fact
that Mr. Johnson has helped and
that the great managerial combina
tion appreciates his effort. Burlesque
will wave at the Gayety for another
decade at least, growing better and
brighter all the time.
Mr. Byrne informs the Orphetim
ites, of whom Omaha possesses a
large and enthusiastic number, that
his place of btisineess will be open
to them again on Sunday afternoon
next. The pretty and comfortable
theater has been extensively over
hauled during the summer, ravages
of the last winter's hard usuage be
ing removed and a number of minor
changes being made to increase the
comforts and conveniences of the
place. "Orpheum" is the hallmark
of standard vaudeville in this region,
and so will be regarded, for the
policy that has made its record one
of success is to be continued.
For the Brandeis we have the
promise of Ruth Chatterton in a
new play as the opening attraction a

lowed shortly by Ilcncry Miller and
Blanche Bates in another drama of
historic and literary intere-t. Mr.
Sutphen has sent for a really pleas
ing prospectus for the season, and
hopes are consequently high for an
interesting time at the Brandeis.
Just what will become of the Boyd
still is a topic for speculation. The
promised demolition of the theater
appears to have been suspended be
fore starting, and it is uncertain if
th rnnrlitinri ac fccrnril liililflnlt?
will justify proceeding to tear down
tne place, sonic detinue decision as
to its fate will be reached soon, for
if it is to run as a theater or to stand
emotv must be determined in a very
little while.
An interlude in the New York
summer activities is provided by the
strike of the actors. It is not easy
to think of the followers of Thespis
nd Terpsichore in the terms of "or
ganized labor," although those who
devote their lives to Caliope had
long ago formed themselves into an
efficient union. The actors, who are
represented through the Actors'
Equity Association, have some gen
uine grievances, which the men at
the head of the theaters have de
clined to remedy. Chief of these
is the method of reducing wages
that has prevailed, this being that
of arbitrarily declaring the "clos
ing" of one reason and the "opening"
of another without any interruption
of the "run" of the play, this move
invariably being accompanied by
cuts in salaries, changes in cast and
other things the actors deem an im
position. Another of the points in
controversy is pay for time spent at

a play is rehearsed from two to 10
weeks for a run of only one. In this
process the actor frequently misses
an opportunity for engagement with
a success that would ensure him
steady employment. To this the
manager answers that he risks his
cash against the actor's time, and
they therefore take equal chances
on whatever gamble is involved in a
new play. Other items in the bill
of grievances are worthy of con
sideration, and the fact that the big
gest of New York's theaters were
closed in midflight by reason of the
strike shows how serious it is.
Another announcement of the
week that must hold attention for
the moment is that Adolph Zuker,
hitherto known only in connection
with the moving picture industry,
has essayed to assume the toga laid
aside by the late Charles Frohman.
Mr. Zuicor has been remarkably suc-
cessful in his film ventures, from all
points of view, and it will be well
worth while to watch how he pro
gresses in his efforts to take up the
work so splendidly done by " C. F."
The Empress theater has a most
attractive bill arranged for its pa
trons the first half of the week. The
Imperial Pekinese troupe are com
edy jugglers and their spinning plate
finish surpasses anything of a like
nature. One of the hits of the cir
cuit is the Three Harmony Notes, a
trio of entertainers who specialize
on the xylophone. With their ac
centuated syncopations they simply
throw jazz over the footlights reck
lessly. Wilson and Wilson are
dusky harmony singers with a pen
chant for svneopation. They also in
troduce a great variety of dancing
steps. One of the comedy sketches
is offered by Billy Miller and com
pany, who headline the show for the
last half of the week. Comedy
crowds almost every line. Under
the title of "The Darktown Circus,"
the Abyssianian Three give a num
ber with excellent harmony singing,
good banjo playing and plenty of
real laughable comedy.
The mechanism of the popular
Gayety will start to revolve at a
rapid pace for the new season on
Saturday rfatinee, August 16, this
being the 10th consecutive season
of musical burlesque at that house.
Manager Johnson announce as the
opening attraction a brand new edi
tion of Al Reeves' famous "Beauty
Show." It has but recently been
known that Mr. Reeves was "in"
on a big munitions plant in New
Jersey during the recent unpleas
antness and the story has it that
he literally "cleaned up" while the
market for bullets was at its
zenith. At any rate, he has writ
ten Mr. Johnson that in signing
contracts and equipping his new
show, money counted as nothing,
and that he is willing to leave it
to the public to decide as to
whether a more gorgeous produc
tion was ever seen on the Columbia
circuit.
As to policy and prices, the
Gayety will make no change the
daily dime matinee for ladies, and
every night being ladies' night, be
ing continued as solid and unchang
able as the rock of Gibraltar. The
box office opens Thursday,' morn

made.

Bathing - dancing - picnic parties
fron miles, around Omaha and
Council Bluffs, as well as scores of
such parties in the two cities, are
more popular than ever before at
Manawa Park this summer. Last
Sunday saw at least 500 automobile
parties from outside the cities, while
cing is resuming its place as a lead
ing pastime. The big lakeside pa
vilion entertains large crowds every
afternoon and evening. Many pic
nics, followed by bathing, then by
dancing, were hld at the lake last
week and more are scheduled this
week. Boating is an ideal sport
with many, while fishing for bass is
said to be the best of the season.

ride, roller skating and other pleas-

noon and tne evening, the latter con
cert followed by the free motion
pictures which are shown at Mana
wa every night.
Manawa Park has gone through
the season without charging admis
sion to the park or the picnic
grounds. Bathing in the fresh, clean
water of Omaha's biggest lake is, of
course, the most popular, but with
the coming of cooler evenings, dan-
Morgan dancers are to be the stel
lar attraction. A dance drama of
the time of Atilla and the Huns is
to be the rhythmic pantomime which
the dancers present under the direc
tion of Marion Morgan. As for trie
chief feature next week, it is the
band of 25 bluejackets organized by
Ensign A. J. Moore. These picked
musicians of the navy were ordered
overseas, where they had concerts
at training stations and naval bases.
When President Wilson went to
France, almost the first thing he
heard was the navy jazzers. All
members of the organization have
received their discharges, but the
band has been kept intact.
In the opening bill, Al Lydell and
Carlcton Macy are to be featured in
"Old Cronies." They are clever
character comedians, and their skit
is rich in comedy elements. "Out
in California," a musical playlet, is
to be presented by Leona Stephens
and Len D. Hollister. An amusing
skit, "A Salvo of Screams," is to be
offered by Jimmy Salvo, assisted by
Joan Franza. Irving Newhoff and
rDode Phelps, decked out with songs
by William B., Friedlander, offer
what they call "fragrant tunes from
the garden of melody." Ergotti's
Lilliputians are small in size only.
Astonishing feats by these two tiny
wonder men are more hazardous and
funnier than ever. Dan Mahoney
and George Auburn are two of the
most rapid manipulators of Indian
clubs to be found anywhere. Again
this season, the Orpheum has made
arrangements for exclusive news and
travel motion pictures.
As the season progresses, the at
tendance records at the popular
Lakeview park are broken each
week. "Over the Top" of the record
for the previous week is now becom
ing a common thing.
The last week saw the Nipponese
ball, to an extraordinary attendance.
The Dance Palace was beautifully
decorated after the fashion in the
land of Nippon. Multicolored lan
terns, chrysanthemums and apple
blossoms formed part of the decora
tions. Favors were distributed to
the hundreds of guests that attended.
The automobile men's outing proved
to be one of the largest picnic gath
erings of the season. The Dance
Palace proved to be the most popu
lar spot with the auto men and their
friends and families.
For the current week the special
events will consist of a "Cracker
Jack Nite" at the roller rink, when
a crackerjack time is promised for
everyone. An abundance of favors
will be distributed.
Another event will be the picnic
and outing of the St. Michael's
church. A great number of churches
of the city are going to take part
in the occasion. Thursday, August
14th, has been set aside for the out
ing. It is to be a basket picnic.

ANNOUNCING:
The Third Jitaension
For thousands of years, as far back as any one knows, men
have lived and moved in two dimensions. Their restriction to
this environment has been from circumstance not from incli
nation for in the legends, stories,-flights, of fancy of centu
ries gone men have dreamed of flying; men dreamed of the
third dimension, and have longed for the freedom of the skies.
And it is here every bit as wonderful as dreams have pic
tured it in many ways more.
Go out on the West Dodge Road and in the, field opposite
the peony farm you will see the beginning of a great aerial en
terprise the aerodrome of the Blue Star Aviation Company,
which begins its activities today.
You will see the Bluebird, the most beautiful "ship" frv
America, designed by an artist of renown. If you wish, you
may step into the .cockpit and go sailing swiftly, smoothly and
easily behind the power of 90 horses, up, far up into another
world, where the earth appears below you in a mosaic of
browns and greens, with whitened lines arid silvered threads
of roads and rivers, and tiny dots of houses here and there,
and riding on the wispy edges of great globes of cloud you'll
experience that which money in itself could never buy.
There will be no fear. Awe, wonder, and indescribable feelings
never felt before will race through you in a marvelous gamut of sensation,
but the feeling of safety a certain detachment from danger will be
with you always, and naturally, for your pilot is a man that has flown hun
dreds of others, thousands of miles, without an accident.
Perhaps you have the flying instinct. Your fingers may itch for the
controls. It may be your ambition to pilot your own "ship" some day
and why not the day is coming. If so you may enter as a student in the
flying course of the company. The course of instruction is the famous
Gosport system. You will learn all flying from simple straight courses to
the most advanced acrobatics.
Whatever you may require: "joy rides," instruction, exhibitions, aer
ial photography, aerial transportation from city to city, cross country
flights, or what not, the Blue Star Aviation Company is prepared to meet
the requirements. The present equipment will be rapidly augmented on
a scale that will make Omaha one of the great aerial centers of the
country.
Go out and see. You are heartily welcome. Go many times and watch
the progress of aviation in Omaha.
