THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1919.
AT THE
THEATERS
F COURSE, a musical comedy,
I I however fnvlous, must have
y word and music, but some
times these are not so important
as at otners, ana might be dispensed
with to no great detriment to the
proceedings. "Listen, Lester!" would
be very enjoyable 'if not a sound
came trom the stage, save the soft
rustle of the skirts, the patter of
dainty teet and the soft steps of the
dancers. Adding, to be sure, the joy
that comes from viewing the fresh
charm of the pretty girls and the
ciever antics of the nimble men,
also young and full of vim.
Therefore, familiarity with the
better tunes 'and most dTthe jests
of the piece, which has been so. well
advertised by its loving mends in
advance of its coming, did not dull
the pleasure of the two overflowing
lipliday audiences that greeted its
advent at the. Brandeis. Betty Kirk
bride, Ann Ott, Cecil Williams,
Henrietta Lee and Florence De Barr
move in and out through the pro
:eedings, singing, dancingsweetly,
-soberly Jor grotesquely doing things
the customers like and approve. And
back of them is a comely ensemble
(which is "K. and E." for "chorus")

who'se members are unusually well
equipped for carrying on their part
of the show. .
Delano Dell,' who is the Lester
expected to do the listeniiTg, is a
new edition of clown, with little
touches of many others and much'
of his own way of making folks
forget the coaal strike, the Mexican
situation, and other things that ordi
narily worry the public. His eccen
tric dancing is a revelatio'h. And
Gus Shy give him credit, for he
isn't will never get fat playing the
hotel clerk part he has in hand. Such
a persistent worker seldom is seen,
and it is to some purpose, for he
is ague, graceful, full of original
stunts, and when he isn't flitting
about the stage in one of his num
erous dance numbers, he is diving
over counters or pulling some other
fool stunt and making the hard ones
look easy. William Wayne also
dances well and sings his" songs
with good effect.

You" wa's proven again last night,

for it was demanded many times,
and all other favorite melodies got
popular welcome. Manager Sutton
installed the "Otis Skinner" balcony
in the lobby, and it was thickly
populated, as was the balance of the
house. Speaking about heat, none
of-the Omaha theaters have suffered
yet on account of the restrictions
placed on them.
Winifred Lennihan, who has an
important part with Richard Ben
nett in "For the Defense" now play
ing at the Boyd, is credited with
giving a very remarkab! per
formance and many critics who have
seen her work say that she will make
a name for herself John D. Wil
liams saw her playing a small part
last season and selected her for the
difficult role she assumes in this
piece. She is young, but has shown
remarkable ability in a most ex
acting role.
"The Bird f Paradise," Richard
Walton Tully's supermeledrama of
fair Hawaii, is announced for pres
entation at Boyd's theater for one
week commencing Sunday, Novem
ber 30, with matinees on Wednes
day and Saturday. Despite it is no
in its ninth year, there is fno signs
of waning interest with the popu
lace. The part of Luana, the little
Hawaiian princess, is to be enacted
by Florence Rockwell this season.
A strong supporting company is an
nounced, including the Hawaiian
singers and players. -
Of the two stellar attractions of
the Orpheum bill this week, one is
offered by Julius Tannen, "The
Chatterbox." Another is the dance
production in which, Alice Eis is de
lighting patrons. Mrs. Gene Hughes
is appearing in the one-act comedy,
"When He Came Home." Sybil
Vane, one of the most pleasing vo
calists on the variety stage, is an
other feature, and yet another is the
minstrel act, "The Honey Boys at
Home." Nothing ou the bill is more
pleasing than the' offering of fhe
violin virtusorMaleta Borvconi. The
show is opened with a gymnastic
act in which a remarkably . trained
dog is the feature. Orpheum pa
trons regard the current show as
the best that has been offered this
season. On , Thanksgiving day,
matinee and nigljt the theater was
filled to capacity and many were un
able to get seats. ;
"The Velvet Lady," the last big
musical comedy success from the
New Amsterdam theater, New
York, and produced by Klaw &
Erlanger, a firm celebrated for the
richness and elegance of stage pres
entations, comes to "the Brandeis
theater four nights beginning Sun
day, November 30. On account of
the magnitude of the production,
which enlists the services of 60 peo
ple and SO tons of scenery and elec
trical effects, there will be no mat
inee performance. Victor Herbert
wrote the notable score of "The
Velvet Lady" and the lyrics were
done by Henry Blossom of "Check
ers" and "Mile. Modiste" fame.
Contrary to reports the Gayety
will continue to throb twice daily
until further notice, at which time
its management will notify its cli
entele of the closing. Cornfed Gus
Fay and "The Sightseers" will ap
pear today for the last two times;
tomorrow matinee, half - portion,
Bobby Barry and "Maids of Amer
ica" will open fora week fclean
fun and nonsense. Ladies' matinee
at 215.
Crowder Denies Severity
ChargtAgainst Army
Washington, Nov. 27. The rights
of every man in the army, from pri
vate to general, are well defined and
cstabjisned by-laws enacted by con
gress or by common law, Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, judge advocate gen
eral of tiie army, declared in his an
nual report. General Crowder made
no specific reference to the attack
on his administration of that office
by former Brig. Gen. Samuel T.
Ansell, once his assistant, but in an
appendix gave detailed statistics
covering military courts-martial
tending to disprove the accusation
of severity.
German Bark Lost.
Halifax, N. S., Nov. 27. The Ger
man bark Paul, reported in distress
off the Nova Scotian coast last
Saturday, is believed to have been
lost with all hands. Several steam
ers,' which searched the vicinity of
the last reported position of the
vessel, have found no traces of it
or its crew.

FOLLOWING the Thanksgiving
week programs at Omaha's
movie houses, and to give the
people still greater pictures, the
managers have secured bookings
for next week that are far superior
to any that have been screened in
Omaha for some. time.
The cost of a production is sec
ondary in the mind of the movie
manager; it's the actual work of the
star and the cast the settings and
technique that test the worth of the
production at private screenings
which are given daily, that prompts
the hurried booking of a picture
after its release, or of its being sent
to some other city.
The' large photoplay producers
have of late recognized Omaha as
being one of the best picture cities
of theVcountry, and each seem anx
ious that their representative here
receive first run of their bigger and
better productions. r
Sun Viola Dana in "Please Get
Married," a comedy photopicture
being shown at the Sun, is full of
complex situations and laughs from
the beginning of the hrst reel to
the end of the last. How would
you like to be the possessor of a
marriage license, a man, have a
ceremony performed, start on your
honeymoon, and then learn there
might be a possibility after all, you
were single. To tell you more of
this picture would not be fair to
the star, who finds herself in exact
ly the position stated. See the pic
ture" and enjoy its happy ending.

Strand When is a shimmie?
Censors have blasphemed it as a
"movement," rather than a dance.
It has been given more variations
than the origin of mati Constance
Talmadge, star of a' "Virtuous
Vamp," which will be shown at the
Strand theater for the last times
today and Saturday, describes the
actual shimmie in a diagrammatic
pose. In the story of a "Virtuous
Vamp," the one man who -will not
respond to her vampy arts and wiles
is in insurance broker who enlists
her aid to investigate the applica
tion for a $50,000 policy on the
shoulders of a shimmie dancer.
When you see this picture you learn
to shimmie and are entertained at
the same time.

Moon "Heavy, heavy hangs over
thy hed," and the forfeit was that
she had to marry, the first man that
came in he front door. That is
how Will Rogers gets a wife in the
photoplay, "Almost A Husband,"
which is being shown at the Moon
theater today and Saturday. Every
thing in the picture is just for you.
If you want a, thrill or a laugh, then
see the picture. Will Rogers, in
this quaint story of the Mississippi
river town that was awakened when
he came from Vermont as a school
master and won the banker's daugh
ter, while a villain tried to cause a
run on the bank, get the girl and
ruin her dad, will interest you from
first to last.

Rialto Do you believe in luck?
Is there a "destiny that shapes our
ends?" or do things just happen by
chance that mean a Jife-or-death
difference to us? Marguerite Clark,
starring in "Luck in Pawn," which
is entertaining crowds at the Rialto,
doesn't discuss the question in a
serious manner, but the old argu
ment suggests itself to the thought
ful spectator who sees anything but
a highly amusing comedy behind the
story of the aspiring young country
girl. She wanted to be an artist,
but had to be content with the less
er destiny of becoming a million
aire's wife just because she hap
pened to encounter the rich young
man shortly after being told her
artistic ambitions were in vain.
"Luck in, Pawn" will continue the
stellar attraction at the Rialto today
and Saturday.
Muse A picture with a plot, char
acters who live, a star highly inter
esting, an entertaining and excellent
photography, make up . Norma Tal
madge's photopicture, "The Proba
tion Wife," which will be on the
Muse screen today and Saturday.
The story is about a girl who, after j-
having spent most ot her life in a
fast cafe and twa years in a reform
atory, offers herself to. a wealthy
New Yorker in exchange for clothes
and the luxuries of life. Much to
her surprise he marrier her. She
calls herself his probation wife. The
term of probation does not last long
when love enters- their, life. This
picture is one of the test of the
