THE BEE; OMAHA. TUESDAY," JANUARY 13, 1920. A' - " 1 I i ; MINISTERS ARE URGED TO GIVE THRIFT TALKS Forty Clergymen of All De nominations Hear Dis-. cussion of National J Thrift Week. r m : f. t ft ft . Forty leading Protestant, Cath olic and Jewish clergymen and bus iness men of Omaha were dinner guests last night at the University . -club of the Omaha thrift committee, and discussed the program of "na tional thrift, week," which will be observed in Omaha January 17 to 24. D. C Buell, chairman of the thrift committee, presided and intro duced the speakers, whogave views from various angles of best methods of teaching thrift to the people ana getting them to practice it. "It doesn't make much difference how much you spend or how much you earn, as long as you spend less than you earn,'' declared John VV. Gamble, vice president of the First National bank. "It is appalling how ;,mnny people there are who spend - a little more than they earn." "Thrift a Habit." Mr. Gamble impressed his point by telling how he worked on the farm.fo SO cents a day when he was a boy and invested his earn ings in an aged horse at $12, fat tened up the horse and sold it for $26. ' ' "Thrift is a, habit." he declared. "I do not think it will be easy to change an individual with a habit of extravagance. People should buy wisely. They need not do yrithout things they can afford to have." O. T. Eastman of the Federal Re serve bank urged the buying of fewer $15 silk shirts and more$3 ones. . V. M. Jeffers, general manager of the Union Pacific raijroad, declared that tije people who need to be taught " thrift are not the wage earners, but the rich. "Share With Others." "The wage earner and thesalaried men .Jcnow thrift," he said. Thev have to practice it. This thrift week may serve a great good if it can impress upon those who iiavc too much money that they should lower the level of their dress and soc'ii ninctions. They have made it a sort of standard to which the persoji with a smaller income tries to keep up. It is perfectly natural for fhe per son with a s-.mo'ler income to want his children to be as well dtessed as the children of the rich. This is why :he childr;n in fchool dress so much better tod?y th:,n they did 20 years ago." Ed F. Leary pointed out the op portunity the ministers have to preach thrift to their parishoners. - Mr. Buell urged the ministers to drive home to their congregations the importance of thrift -from their pulpits next Sunday which is to be designated -'Share With .Others day.

"Ar rangements Tiave been made in an ticipation of a great rush for seats) said Will Mickel of Mickel Brothers. "The unprecedented demand for seats by mail points to the greatest line of "ticket buyers, when the sale opens, at 9 o'clock Thursday morn ing, that has ever attended the opening of a seat sale; but we're ready for them and will be able to take care of them with great speed." AT THE THEATERS GEORGE ARLISS will ap pear at the cranaeis tneater Wllitiik!!ki::i 1 gagement of six performances in the new play, "Jacques Duval," the argument of which concerns a learned savant who has discovered a serum which will cure tuberculo sis. On the eve of his great discov ery it is brought to him that his wife, is unfaithful to him. Her lover is a victim of the white plague. Without apparently relaxing his ef forts in behalf of science, he seeks to effect a cure of the lover with the intent of making him well, as he professionally cannot kill a sick man. Prominent in Mr. Arliss' sup port are Elizabeth Kisdon, Mrs. Ar liss, George Barr, Fernanda Eliscu, Manart Kippen, Guy Cunningham, A. Stapleton Kent, Harold Thomas, Carl Anthony, William Seymour, William H. Barwald, Peter Brad ford, Irving Deckler, J. Palmer Col lins, Spencer Harris and Elsie Fred eric.

Sothern and Julia Mar lowe will present at Boyd s-theater on Thursday night, January 22, with "Hamlet" and "The Taming of the Shrew on successive nights. Wil liam Shakespeare acted one of the roles, for the comedy was acted for the first time anvwhere bv the Lord Chamberlain's company in 1599-1600 at the Globe theater in Southwark, and it was during this period that Shakespeare was a member of that organization. , Ellen Terry, herself a great Viola, declared Julia Mar lowe to be the greatest Viola of this generation. Mr. Sothern's Malvolio is said to be his finest comedy char- acrenzation. "Friendly ETiemies" is not a prop aganda play, but one all will eniov. It presents a lively contrast of char acters as well as a wide play of emotion. The company now pre senting it at Boyd's is a well se lected organization. A matinee will be played on Wednesday, the en gagement ending on that evening. Box parties and theater parries were more numerous last evening at the Orpheum than is usual even for society night, for the bill this week, headed by Evelyn Nesbit, is one of uncommon popularity. Another fea tured part of the bill is the dance pantomime by Princess Radjah. The sale ot seats indicates continuation I of the use of the "standing room only" sign. "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," is coming to- Boyd's-for three days, commencing Thursday the 15th. The piece ran for an entire year -at the Republic theater in NewvYork, and this is the original production with a cast of Broadway favorites on its way to the Pacific coast. ' Harry Lander at the Gavetv thea ter this week at the head of Tack Singer's Behman show, created a furore. ' along the wheel with his tramp character. He has with him his "Laughing Elephant.'-one of th-e comedy cems of "Putting It Over" and a chorus of 25 girls who can sing ana dance. ihe Revolving Star" is one of 1 the mdst strikine m j scenic novelties of the stage. Ladies' matinee at 2:15 daily all week Of the ctsrrent bill at the Empress the most popular feature is the com edy sketch, 'The Corner Store," presented by a cast of seven people. The offering of the three society girls, who give several vo.cay selec tions besides playing the violin, 'cello and piano is most pleasing. New Oil Millionaire Mercer, Pa., Jan. 12.
