"PHOTO 'PIAY OFFERING J FOR. TODAY'
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 21. Will
iam L. Carlisle, the train bandit for
whom posses have been searching
since Saturday, continues to outwit
his pursuers.
Armed men covered wide areas of
wild country in and around Medi
cine Bow and ( in the vicinity of
Casper, without success. No one ap
parently has the least idea where
the outlaw is. 1
Officials of the Union Pacific rail
road announced they had spent
$15,000 in the search and in addi
tion hundreds of men volunteered
service in the man hunt. In the
meantime armed guards are main
. tained on all passenger trains, for
railroad men are corfident the ban
dit will make another robbery at
tempt, though possibty not until he
has spent the $250 he obtained in
his last robbery.
Baseless rumors have appeared
from many places, 'including Den
ver and. Pueblo, Colo., where the
bandit is reported. to have been seen.
. Little credence is placed in these
and yet officials here admit there is
nothing more definite than these
' rumor concerning the bandit's 'hid-
ing place.
' Governor Carey was asked to of-
fer a reward for the capture of the
bandit. He promised to do so if the
prosecuting attorney of the county
' in which the robbery occurred
'would ask., The only reward now
offered is one of $200 from the state
prison at Rawlins " where Carlisle
twas confined up to his escape last
' Saturday.
A considerable sentiment has de
veloped in favor of the bandit be-
' cause of his daring and courteous
treatment of women and children
.passengers and the possibility that
friends might be aiding the fugitive
was taken into consideration.
AT THE
THEATERS
9
r
;T,H1S afternoon "Cornfed"
; I ,Gus Fay, for whom burlesque
I lovers have a very tender spot
'in their hearts, opens a week's en
gagement at the Gayety. With him
are Jas. E. Cooper's "Sightseers"
on their annual? tour of looking
things over as regards the Colum
bia circuit. The entertainment is
said to be replete with novelties
and surprises. Johnnie Walker, Flo
Davis, Fred Nolan and Kathryn
Ross are among the principals and
the'-chorus numbers over 20. The
seat sale is immense, particularly for
Thanksgiving day. Tomorrow's
matinee starts at 3:00. ,
Many sorts of contrivances were
tried out by LeComte and Flesher
in their enthusiastic determination
to fittingly embellish and novelize
with surprising innovations their
splendid musical comedy find, "My
Sunshine Lady," the latest addition
to the group of modern stage suc-
i cesses based on revamped fairy
laies. a
Among the songs popularized in
the play are "My Sunshine Lady;"
"A S6ng of Old Brittany," "Cupid's
Sweets," "A Vampire Girl," "A
Night at the Riviera," "Mere Man,"
"The Songs I Sang "When I Was
Twenty-one," "Anything to Make a
Picture Now-a-Days," "Mystic,
Magic Man," "Love Needs Opposi
tion," "I Miss You Honey 'Deed
I do" and "Dixie- Land is Calling
You." This play will be seen at
the Brandeis for four days starting
matinee tomorrow. Wednesday
matinee will be given.
It was because the companV is
waiting for an engagement to go
into1 Chicago that John D. Williams
' was enabled to send to V Boyd's
theater next week Richard Bennett
in "For the Defense.", The play is
the story of an entangling web of
circumstantial evidence which grips
! an irVocent girl. Her fiance in a
duel of wits finally clears her of
the' accusation of murder. There
will be a-special matinee on Thanks
giving day. 1
Final performances, matinee and
. evening, will be given today of the
Orpheum bilf headed by Carl Jorn,
and George Kelly. The curtain this
evening is to riseat 8 o'clock. Next
week's show will have two stellar at
tractions and three featured acts.
, Julius Tannen will be one to head
the bill and another will be the
dancer, Alice Eis. Mrs. Gene
Hughes will appear in the one-act
. comedy, "When He . Came Back."
The vocal gifts of Sybil Vane,
known as the Galh-Curci of vaude
ville, will be displayed. A clever
company of minstrel men will pre
sent an offering called "Honey Boys
at Home."
Matinee and evening perform
ances today conclude the engage
ment of "Oh. I Lady, Lady!" at
Boyd's theater. No musical play of
. the season has approached this in
point of dainty conceit, pretty girls,
melodious music, snappy dances or
clever comedy.
The De Pace Opera company, ap
pearing at the Empress for the last
times today, has a combination of
music and song arranged for a per
fect display of remarkable talents.
An act that meets with general
' favor is offered by ' Keane and
Walsh, whose talk is the brightest
and wittiest comedy heard in this
theater in some time.
The attraction at the Brandeis
theater tonight is "Twin Beds." It
is the laugh play of the century, a
comedy for all taste, a tonic for old
and young.
Julian Mitchell, the wizard of en
semble numbers in musical comedy,
has shown some of his mastery m

EVERBODY likes to see a
good two-fisted fight between
men, especially if there be suf
ficient provocation. ' When there is
mystery attached to the fight -it sat
isfies the brain as well as the brute
instinct. In "The Open Door" the
mystery drama starring Anna Lehr
and Walter Miller at the Moon thea
ter for the last times today, two
husky men are seen in a smashing
hand-to-hand fight in a brokerage
office. "The Open Door" is a pic
ture that will hold an audience
spellbound and one you should see.
Strand "The Vengeance of Du
ra nd," starring Alice Joyce at the
Strand, and which will be shown
for the last times today, has some
of the most gorgeous settings ever
seen in a picture. Its happenings
occur mid the social whirl in great
receptions, balls and dinners with
in a splendid chateau. The char
acters are drawn from among a
class of beings who dwell at the
very top of cultured, finished society.
The climax of this picture is gigan
tic. A
Muse How would you like to get
a sled at the top of a hill and coast
down it at a mile a minute and plow
right through an enemy camp?
Dangerous sport, we hear yousay.
Well, that is exactly what Tom Mix
starring in "The Wilderness Trail,"
does, and if you want to see this
picture don't wait any longer, as it
has its. last showing at the Muse to
day. It is a piece of work that makes
one hold their breath till it is over,
and the star comes .out alive and
smiling. It gives a fine tafste of the
life of the great wild out-of-doors.

Have Stoped Germans
Coningsby Dawson, an English
American writer, spoke before the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts yes
terday afternoon on the great war
and the future of the nations.
"In the fall of ,1914 Germany
could have been victorious but for
what we like to believe was a su
pernatural blow struck by God for
cur cause,'" said Mr. Coningsby,"
who was a Canadian field artillery
lieutenant. -"The German army was
sweeping toward the channel ports.
The British Tommies had retreated
so far they were too tired to go any
farther. There was nothing what
ever standing in the way of the
German hordes but the thin line of
Tommies.
"But the Germans stopped. It
never has been explained until late
ly when it has been reported that
as they came near Mons tney saw
the hills covered with horsemen.
The horsemen weren't there unless
they were the horsemen of heaven."
