QRPHEUM TAKES
FLYING START
ON NEW SEASON
Martin B e c k's Vaudeville
House Finds Old Friends
Filling Seats for Open
ing Show.
The opening of mother season at
the Orpheum was welcomed yester
day by two audiences generous in
numbers and in greeting a company
of capable entertainers. The initial
hill of the season was happily se
lected, each act finding place in
popular favor and the program as a
whole being a feast of music, merri
ment and skill.
The house gave forth a pleasing
reflection of recent renovation, Man
ager "Billy" Byrne smiled as familiar
faces appeared, and the Orpheum
orchestra, again under the leadership
of Ernest Nordin, was given a salu
tatory of applause after the opening
overture. The temperature of the
house at the afternoon performance
added to the pleasure of the occa
sion, '
Some Jazz Band.
The United States Jazz band, un
der the baton of Ensign Alfred J.
Moore, won applause which pleased
the 25 boys who wore the white uni
form of the navy. This organization
comprises more musical pep than
has been seen or heard on the Or
pheum stage for a long time. It may
be easily imagined how tire stirring
jazz tunes of this band cheered the
boys who were overseas. The reper
toire presented is the kind that stirs
an American audience to the highest
expression of enthusiasm. A violin
number is an artistic variant and a
banjo and saxophone octet was well
received. The applause which fol
lowed their closing number left no
doubt that these bluejackets will
have a lively week in Omaha.
Old Timers Also Win.
Al Lydell and Carlton Macy, in
characterizations of elderly represen
tatives of the army and navy, are
uproariously funny. Lydell, as an
army veteran, says. "I may be old,
but I am magnetic."
Leona Stephens, appearing with
.Len D. Hollister in a skit entitled
"Out in California," scores with her
musical number in which she shows
how some of the present-day popu
lar songs are revamped from tunes
of the old-time melodies.
Jimmy Savo is an eccentric moke
who falls all over himself and makes
his face do its full duty in arousing
tin risibilities' of those who may be
depressed by the high cost of living
or the cost of high living.
Kidding the Newlyweds.
Irving Newhoff sings a clever song
about the difficulties of a male nevy
lywed who is trying to support his
wife in the face of existing prices
current. Dode Phelps assist him.
Dan Mahoney and George Auburn
Jiave accomplished the difficult feat
of executing new stunts in the art of
juggling Indian clubs.
Ergotti's two Lilliputians have a
pleasing acrobatic act. A new fea
ture at the Orpheum is "Topics of
the Day," being humorous extracts
from "The Literary Digest," flashed
on the screen. Screen news of the
world are shown again this season
under the title of "Kinograms."

Admirer of Bee Buys Up
Entire Visible Supply
Why The Bee could not be
bought Saturday afternoon at
Fourteenth and Farnam streets, the
Paxton hotel and the W. O. W.
building, was the subject of scoies
of telephone calls to The Bee of
fice. An investigation was begun im
mediately with startling results.
A man who had imbibed a stray
pint of contraband which had eluded
the law had spied The Bee. He de
cided that it was one good paper,
and proceeded to purchase the en
tire stock of the afternoon edition
at these three stands.
Not content with this he called
tuxis and took every Bee newsie in
the vicinity for a joy ride.
All of which goes to show why
The Bee could not be purchased at
Fourteenth and rarnam streets and
how lucky Bee newsies really are.

SAYS ALIEN BILL
IS SPONSORED BY
JAPANESE AGENT
Senator Phelan Also Charges
That Father of Bill Col
laborated With Kawakami
in Framing Measure.
Washington, Aug. 17. Senator
Phelan of California in a statement
tonight declared that the immigra
tion bill recently introduced by Sen
ator Dillingham of Vermont, under
which immigration would be "fixed at
5 per cent of thejiumber of any na
tionals now present in the United
states, was sponsored by Dr. Sidney
L. Gulick who Senator Phelan
charged "is simply a Japanese
agent."
With his statement Senator Phelan
made public a copy of a letter ad
dressed to Dr. Gulich by K. K.
Kawakami, a Japanese newspaper
correspondent and author of San
Francisco, which, he declared, proved
that the Gulick bill had been pre
pared in collaboration with Kawa
kami. The bill Senator Phelan denounced
as "grossly unjust to the state of
California, which is seeking every
means possible of riding itself of the
Japanese."
Referring to his recent call upon
Governor Stephens to have an extra
session of the California legislature
strengthen the alien land laws Sen
ator Phelan suggested that the laws
might be proposed by initiative.
Letter of Proof.
The letter which Senator Phelan
declares in his statement proves
"that Dr. Gulick, although he has
denied it, is simply a Japanese agent,
and that the bill is the result of
collaboration with Mr. Kawakami"
is dated June 23, and addressed to
Gulick at headquarters of the Fed
eral Council of Churches in New
York City. As given out by Sen
ator Thelan it is as follows:
"My Dear Dr. Gulick:
"Upon my return home I find the
situation in California very unsatis
factory. I am deeply concerned
with the future development of the
situation. I am afraid that the Jap
anese question is going to be a po
litical issue again. Of course, Sena
tor Phelan and the Hearst papers
are factors which have brought
about this new condition. Mr. V.
S. McClatchy of the Sacramento
Bee has added strength to the agi
tation atready started by Phelan
and Hearst. He has taken a fly
ing trip to the Orient, covering both
Japan, Korea and China, in perhaps
a month and a half. Upon his re
turn home he began to write articles
in the Sacramento Bee evidently at
tacking the Japanese.
Refers to Visit Idea.
"When I was in New York you
intimated to me that you would like
to come to California to present
your proposal before the California
public. I wonder whether you still
think that idea advisable in spite of
the fact that you have been made an
object of severe criticism both in
Washington and in California?
"I have not followed the news
papers very closely and I am at a
loss to know whether your immi
gration bill has already been pre
sented to congress.
"I shall be greatly obliged if you
will send me a copy of such a bill
if it has already been formulated.
"If you still think that your trip
to California will do much good, I
think we can find the way to bring
you here. I should be interested to
have your opinion on the matter.
Yours very sincerely,
"K. K. K."

gan a week's stay at the Muse
yesterday, and the great crowd that
witnessed the first presentation of
the picture went away loud in its
praise. It is a drama of real life
from the desert, the redhot passions
of a primitive people and the cooler
but none the less intense emotions
of the English race, Mr. Warner
has a splendid role, and also has an
excellent supporting company. The
photography is especially good, the
many scenes showing intimate
glimpses of Arab life, the desert
expanses, and the gripping episodes
of the play, all being faultless-ly exe
cuted. Particular attention is fast
ened on this picture by reason of
the fact that Orkin Brothers are of
fering $100, divided into six prizes,
for the best written criticisms of
fifty words each of the play.
J. Warren Kerrigan is at his best
when thwarting plotters, and he
gets full play for all his powers in

because he has been sent from New
York to look after a girl who has
been left a large fortune from which
some real desperate persons are
trying to separate her. As a don
he is such a success that he soon

run he gets the several and com

Tanks and Tractors
Give Exhibition to
Several Thousand
American tanks and tractors in

thousand people yesterday after
noon and evening at Eighteenth

tractor division of the ordnance de
partment. An American 10-ton tractor en
gaged a German 19-ton machine in
a tug of war contest. The Ameri

AT THE
THEATERS
THERE is an act on the first
half bill at the Empress quali
fied for a soft spot on any big
time vaudeville bill, Yorkc and
Marks are two uproarously funny
and exceptionally clever comedians.
They have a really new "nut" act.
Their burlesque impersonations go
over and they do not resort to slap
stick to obtain laughs.
The bill opened with a gentleman
who did a flock of pantomime con
tortions on a chair and later on a
trapeze. The act programmed to
start things off couldn't make the
jump and the fill-in was listed as
"extra." There was nothing extra
about the act, however, but it was
fair enough for first place.
Hazel Leona sang four songs of
the hippodrome variety. She dis
played considerable pep and took
two bows, to which she was en
titled. The headlined act was Bobby
Barker and his Studio Girls, five in
number, including a sensational in
genue, who startled the natives with
a number that included a set of mili
tary wardrobe, a la Atlantic City.
The girls are pretty, but can't sing.
Barker is funny.
Fatty Arbuckle put in one reel for
the film end. together with the cur
rent Pathe News semi-weekly.
