Couple Married Secretly to
Carry Out School Pact
V " .Jfr. Md Mrs.Jtrthur Beet,
Arthur Beck and Miss Ethel Pettengill Elope and Then
Surprise Parents and Fnends by Announcing
Honeymoon Trip in East. V
The fulfillment of a secret pact
made between members of his class
at Creighton High school in 1912
was enacted in the marriage of Ar
thur Beck) son of Alex Beck, Omaha
contractor, to Miss Ethel Petten
gill, 23 years old, 2807 Hickory
street Though the secret mar
riage was performed at Lincoln on
the atternoon of September 5, it was
not known even to the parents of
bride and groom until last week.
The couole were on their way to
Lincoln September 5, presumably to
attend the state fair. Definite ar
rangements for their marriage, had
not been planned until the couple
had arrived in Lincoln, when the
suKKestion was made bv the groom.
Two witnesses were obtained and
the ceremony performed.
Complying with the secreb pact
made with his former classmates,
Mr. Beck not only was " married
secretly, but also kept his marriage
secret to intimate friends 'for nearly
a month. He remembered a simi
lar case of his former "pal," Frank
Roberts of the Creighton high
school class of 1912, who was mar
ried secretly in Omaha and later
'moved to Arizona.
Mr. and Mrs. Beck infoYmed their
parents of their marriage when they
sought to offer some explanation
for taking an extended trip through
the east. :
The couple left for Chicago,
thence to Niagara Falls, New
York and .Baltimore on their
honeymoon. ",.
Omaha Girl Star in ,
'Funniest Show of
Season, at Gayety
Sampson's subjects hurrying from
all parts of the realm to attend the
annual fall festival aw assured a
treat at the Gayety ffieater, where
the Roseland Girls preSent'Before,
After and After That.'
Harry Coleman, undoubtedly the
most versatile comedian that ever
"trod the boards" of burlesque, and
Bert Lahr satisfy every desire of
the audience for comics. Coleman
in the role of a "dope fiend" does
not confine himself to the laughs, al
though his lines are full of them, but
teaches a moral lesson in the more
pathetic scenes. Lahr gets but one
laugh in the show. It comes with
his .first appearance and is still in
progress when the orchestra plays
the "chaser."
Stella Ward as "Ruby Top." the
cabaret girl, is the star of the pro
duction. She vies with the comics
introducing laughs and in a char
acter singing specialty makes a dis
tinct hit. Stella Ward as Old Tay
lor s daughter has the pep of the
days before July 1.
Ben Hubert in the role of a pro
hibitionist, is supported by a quar
tet, of beauties. Mattie DeLece is
unquestionably one of the most
beautiful women in burlesque and
has a voice that matches her beauty.
, An Omaha gtrl makes her first ap
pearance on the local stage and well
deserved the reception accorded her.
Miss Beatrice Darling (Dowlieg),
828 Georgia avenue, started in bur
lesque two years ago and has rap
idly risen to one of the leading roles
with this company. Last year.
B laying with the "Million Dollar
iolls, she was prevented" from play
ing in cjmaha on- account of the tlu.
The show is dazzling in the stage
settings and costumes. Everything
is new and the play proved one of
the biggest laugh producers of the
present season.
Old Man Johnson announces that
on parade days the show will not
start until after the parades hav.e
passed the theater.
1 60 Testaments Donated
for Actors' Church Service
Rev. C. Edwin Brown, Omaha

nected with the profession has been
invited to attend the services as well
as the general public. ' The seats

be taken.
Everything has been donated to
Rev. Mr. Brown for the services.
Manager Johnson donated the use
of the theater, stage mechanics will
arrange the stage and musicians of
the city will render sacred music.
The musicians union has provided
an augmented orchestra.

"they sometimes have to eat the
proverbial hardtack in time of war."

two, three or four years.

letic departments, heretofore oper
ating separately, were joined and
Dr. Fred W. Luehring, athletic di
rector at Princeton university, ap
pointed head. j r
, Coach Schulte was warmly wel
comed, "I find here in Nebraska
that .you people have been running
sort t of on one gear that-is, you
place too much emphasis on foot
ball to the - exclusion of other
sports," , he said. "I have been
studying my men at the university
and I can say that there should not
only be one. sport epiphasized, but
four. ' -v ,
-. Real Athletic School.
"Base ball, basket ball and track
are just as assured of success on
a wide scale as foot ball. I look
for the time to come when the Uni
versity of Nebraska will be the big
gest and greatest all-around athletic
school in the country."
Mr. Haskell, as chairman, paid
tribute to the new Husker mentor.
He said: "I made a trip to Lincoln
to see how things were coming.
There I saw a he-man-riiot a guy
with kid gloves, cane . and ' nicely
tailored suit but a he-man, charg
ing, raging and stamping about a
man who was handling men, I
think we can trust this man Schulte.
He knows foot balr." Captain
Dobson spoke briefly for the team.
' Arrange Game Here.
Announcement was made of the
signing of a contract yesterday with
Creighton university authorities to
stage the Creighton-Marquette foot
ball game'on October 25 at Rourke

persons. v
Assistant Coach Schissler and Dr.
Cutter of the University of Nebraska
Medical college in Omaha also
spoke. The assistant coach, who is
official scout at Nebraska, is credited
with having rounded up the big
squad of athletes now attending the
university. "We have six freshmen

in history," he said. "A full dozen
of these are former all-state high

MUSIC
, To sit before a piano and hear
oneself play, without 'lifting fin
gerv" must indeed be a joy whan that
playing is so beautiful as that of Mr.
George Copetand, who was present
ed by Hayden Bros, in recital at the
Fonterwlle yesterday evening. Pre
ceding the recital a very brief talk
was given by George Stoddard, the
inventor of the "Ampico.' ' The in
strument, said Mr. Stoddard, was the
culmination of IS years of hard work
and is regarded very seriously from
a musical point of view by its in
ventor and others interestd in it
This is proven by the class of com
positions used. The program was xti
unusually interesting one. The
commonplace was "absent and sev
eral uncommonly fine things were
present. ' . ' .
Mr. Copeland playa with fine
clarity, a pleasing tone and straight
forwardness. He was particularly
fortunate in his selections by French
composers, the "Dance of Puck"
.winning him an ovation and de
manding a Nfepetition. He has
trick of tone and pedaling most ef
fective fin these impressionistic
French ' numbers. The real "inter
est of the evening, however, cen
tered in the reproducing of Mr.
Copeland's playing by the Ampico.'
A Lhopin waltz was daintily played'
by the artist, after which his hands
lay quietly in his lap and the playing
was repeated with no difference, save
possibly more of the personal touch.
The tone seemed even more beau
tiful and the interpretation seemed
more free. Later a piano arrange
ment of Debussy's "Afternoon of a
Faun" was played by the Ampico
to a certain point where Mr. Cope
land took up the thread without the
slightest hitch and finished With
out watching the performance it
would have been impossible to de
tect' the change. A, very difficult
Spanish dance was the third achieve-U
ment of the remarkable instrument
one which; the inventor said, was
most difficult to make. E. L. W.
