EMPLOYERS ARE
URGED TO AID IN
THRIFT DRIVE
Community Centers Will Hold
Programs to Promote Sav
ingLeading Business
Men to Speak. .
Preliminary plans to be sub
mitted to employers of Omaha for
the purpose of aiding employes to
save, were discussed by a group of
business men at the Chamber of
Commerce last night. The meeting,
which was one of several held in
preparation for Thrift Week, be
ginning Saturday, was called by D.
C Buell and J. M. Gillan, of the
chamber.
Mr. Buell said a large majority of
employers in eastern cities were tak
ing active steps to assist employes
in the art of saving. One concern
is depositing the salaries of its em
ployes in the employes' bank, in
stead of paying the employ by check
or cash, he said. Many concerns
require their employes to save a spe
cified amount and keep this amount
intact, he declared.
A small per cent of the employers
in Omaha has taken any action in
encouraging thrift among employes,
Mr. Buell said. Thursday of next
week will be set aside as a day for
employers to formulate plans for
encouraging the saving among em
ployes, it was decided.
Mr. Gillan emphasized the fact
that the encouragement of thrift did
not mean that people were to stop
, purchasing merchandise or to do
t without necessities or comforts.
Thrift week is merely set aside to
' aid in discouraging reckless spend
ing, he said.
Talks on the subject of thrift will
be delivered at two community cen
ters tonight jR. A. Kirkpatrick will
be the speaker at Monmouth park
and Robert M. Switzler wifl speak
at Lincoln center. Other thrift talks
will be made next week.
Commissioner Thomas B. Fal
coner will speak at Edward Rose
water center. At Benson, the speak
er will be Maurice E. Jacobs, who
will tell the mysteries of the mod
:rn metropolitan newspaper plant.
Dr. Solon R. Towne, president of
the Nebraska Audubon society, will
deliver a stereopticon lecture on
birds of Nebraska at Lincoln center.
Many "Guilty" Pleas
t.. r - i r
in criminal ases
In District Court
Vigorous prosecution of criminal
cases by the county attorney's of-
, fice is bringing many pleas of
"guilty." Wednesday two men were
sentenced to the penitentiary for
one to 10 years each on such pleas.
Yesterday three more entered
pleas of guilty and were sentenced.
Charles Stephens and John Lindsey,
negroes, pleaded guilty to breaking
.and entering the warehouse of the
Cullen Brokerage Co., 918 Dodge
street last Friday. They were sen
tenced by District Jidge Troup to
the Denitentiarv for one in 10 veara
'. each.
v They stole $34 worth of smoking
tobacco, ?!. worth of cigars and
200 pounds of sugar.
Augustine Rogers pleaded guilty
to breaking and entering the whole
sale house of Leon Bros., 1119 Far
nam street, January 11, and was also
sentenced to the penitentiary by
Judge Troup for a term of one to
10 years. Rogers stole a full line of
clothing ranging from silk shirts to
cuff buttons, all of the value of $118.
Struggles of Russians
Related by Lecturer
' M. J. Olgin, head of the New York
School of Social Research, gave an
interesting lecture before members
of the Fine Arts society yesterday
afternoon at the Hotel Fontenelle.
; Mr. Olgin, a Russian by birth,
took as his subject "The Spirit of
Russian Literature," and gave a
complete resume of the struggle of
Russian literary men from the 19th
century until the present time.
. He told of the struggles of the
people against not only the nobility
of their own land, but against the
many bordering states, which were
always carrying on war, and ended
his lecture by saying that not until
the present soviet government,
which represents the working peo
ple of the country, and the literarv
men of Russia, get together and
work for one cause will there ever be
any form of government or litera
ture in Russia.

THEATERS
f NE of the deadliest enemies of
Uthe blues of any sort is "Par
lor, Bedroom and Bath," which
opened a week-end stay at Boyd's
last night It takes the old familiar
characters on which farce comedy
writers have depended for so many
generations, but arranges them in
a different order. In this play the
unfaithful husband is not led into
his indiscretions because of any pre
dilections for wandering after
strange women, but because his
wife is obsessed with the strange
notion that he is a devil among the
ladies, and it is up to him to live
up to his reputation. A friend more
or less sophisticated and disinter
ested tries to help him out and
arranges with a clever young
woman who , is also a newspaper
reporter to stage a party with the
harmless young man at a summer
resort hotel. The party comes off,
but with results entirely different
from those planned by the plotters.
The wife of one and the husband
of another become entangled, and
the complications are of the most
hilarious sort.
Edna Ann Luke, vivacious, piq
uant, and good to look upon, still
has the role of the young newspaper
woman who is merely practical
when suspected of being a vampire.
bhe is a riot in her way. Willie
Archie has the bellhop role, played
here by Jack Osterman last season,
and he gets a lot of snappy fun
out of it. The entire company is
good, for that matter, having been
especially chosen tor the tour in
the olav. which was lauehed at bv
a big house last night, and which
will be at Boyd's for the rest of
the week with a matinee on Satur
day. ,
"We have arrived at an age when
truth and sincerity govern every
other attribute of the stage," says
George Arliss. who is at the Bran-
deis theater this week in his new
drama "Jacques Duval." "It is pos
sible that the best actors of all ages
have ever striven for this, but it is
the development of our theater
architecturally that has made it
possible for us to admit sincerity as ;
the first consideration. Today every
effort is made to get perfect settings,
perfect lighting and perfect accous
tics, and the audiences are marvels
of orderliness and patience. And so
we are enabled to adopt more nat
ural methods of expression and in
the same ratio audiences have be
come more critical of our work.
Therefore, with the intimate mod
erif theater, the note of sincerity is
growing more and more imperative."
The lumbermen in convention
gave a theater party to their ladies
Thursday afternoon over at the Or
pheum. Because the demand for
seats exceeds the supply and so as
to be in a position to accommodate
delegates to the lumbermen's and
the farmer's conventions, patrons
are requested to take up their seat
orders early. Evelyn Nesbit is prov-
!nff nnf of tVii hiV rlrawintr rarHa of
the season. Both the specially fea- j
turea acts, the Werner and Amoros
Trio and Princess Radiah are itts
tabling, the distinction giving them
in popular scoring.

was not a great actress herself, but
was a remarkable teacher. Her ex
perience was gained in the old
school and for years she coached
Miss Marlowe, preparing her for her
debut as a star in Shakespeare.
When the time came for her debut,
the young girl could find no man
ager willing to give her the opportu
nity she craved, so she arranged a
special matinee in New York. Her
success was immediate.
Miss Lucile Webster, a young Cal-
uornia comedienne, nas made a
striking success in George M.
Cohan's latest comedy, "A Prince
There Was," which will be seen at
the Brandeis theater three days
commencing next Monday. As a
flippant young New Yorker, whose
vocation is selling" ribbons in a' de
partment store, and whose avocation
is a passion for detective work. Miss
Webster plays a character entirely
new to the stage.
This afternoon and evening Harry
Lander, at the head of the Behman
show at the Gayety, wjll bid patrons
farewell until next season. Tomor
row matinee a merry swarm called
"Butterflies of Broadway" will flut
ter into the Gayety for a weeks
visit. Harry ( Heinie ) Cooper,
Sam Howard and Helen Farr head
the organization. Ladies' matinee
at 2:15 daily.
At the Empress theater a pre
tentious musical novelty presented
by five excellent musicians, headlines
the show. Instrumental and vocal
selections are given and a reper
toire of -popular and classical num
bers meets the approval-of the au
dience. The comedy element of the
bill is provided by the Nixon and
Sans, a lively pair, whose witty
cross-fire talk keeps the audience
roaring with laughter.
Expressman Charged With

ton, expressman, 1902 Center street,

four "Anne" books, has for years
been one of the most popular fiction

interesting situations as told by the

MoonIn "When the Clouds Roll
By," the attraction at the Moon

Roll By."
Muse "Man's Desire," with Lewis
S. Stone in the leading role, is a
drama of the big woods lumber coun
try, packed with tense action and
the thrill of primitive life. Jane
