THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 21, 1920. PAULISTS WILL GIVE LECTURES AT CATHEDRAL All Non-Catholics Invited to Hear Exposition of Doc trine of Catholic Church. Rev. Bcrtrtnd L. Conway and Rev, John E. Burke of the Paulist Fa ther of New York will eive free lectures fof non-Catholics in St. Ce cilia cathedral, Fortieth and' Burt streets, dunne a two-week mission tartine- Sundav. Tanuary 25. All non-Catholics are invited to attend. The purpose of the lectures is to explain the doctrine of the Catholic church "to all who seek the truth and to answer in a kindly manner all their 'dflficulties." A question box will be placed at the cathedral door, and questions placed in the box one evening will be answered the following evening. Not a Challenge. . "To some non-Catholics," said Fa ther Conway last night, "it may seem that the Paulist Fathers are issuing a challenge rather than an invita tion. On the contrary, we deplore any attempt to stir up animosity be tween members of different churches. We propose to set forth systemati cally an exposure ana aerense ot Catholic teaching. All Catholics know that there are thousands of fair-minded, intelligent non-Catholics who are anxious to hear some thing about the Catholic faith from those who are her accredited repre sentatives." i Order of the Lectures. The following program has been mapped out for the two weeks' re treat: Program for Retreat. fcunday, January 25. 11 . " Ulvino Alisninn. p. m.- "The What "Reason m-S"The m. "The m.

The idea of giving missions to non-Catholict is the first reason for the existence of the Paulist fa thers," said Father Burke. I "PHOTO PIY OFPERI NGJ FOR. TODAY' 1 1. LI AM FARNUM scores an other success in "The Last ol Duanes." a William Fox production having its last showing at the Moon theater today and Thursday. In his portrayal of Buck Duane, the hero of this stirring Tex as border life tale, William Farnum a seen at his verv best This time the star portrays a man who through rfo fault of his own is forced to kill and flee, to herd with outlaws rnnid stirring situations until the falseness of his position is impressed on the governor by the girl he loves who finally wins him a pardon and happiness. Strand The big double bill on the screen at the Mrand theater is crowding this house to its capacity, and why not. Fatty Arbuckie in "The Garage" keeps one in a de- iightful humor throughout its scteen- ing. and Jack Pickford in "'In Wrong," keeps the house in an up roar. Either of these two comedians make suffcient entertainment for an evening, but when you are privileged to see the two ot them on the same screen in one "night, you can rest assured of having one big night of pleasure. Sun A trip to the snow-covered heights of the Tyrolean Alps awaits the movie fan at the Sun theater, where "Blind Husbands" is being shown this week. I he story deals with a famous American surgeon and his beautiful wife. Professional cares make the scientist preoccupied and apparently indifferent to his wife s heart happiness. On :insurpassed, awe - inspiring scenery, vigorous dramatic action and the very uniqueness of the dar- ne clot Klind Husbands, makes its bid for the plaudits of the picture loving multitudes. Rialto Remarkable scenic effects have been secured in the Paramount Artcraft picture, "Everywoman," which is showing at the Rialto theater this week with Violet Hem- mg in the title role. One of the most spectacular is the banauet hall of wealth, the part played by Theo- Neighborhood Houses LOTHKOI SUh and Lothrap .

One circle of the "S" contains a swimming pool, while the other is occupied by a dance floor. On these two stages beauti ful girls in the most remarkable cos tumes of ultra-modern mode disport. For the big theater sceenes in which Everywoman makes her debut, a chorus of extremely pretty girls in unique costumes was employed. The stage was literally covered with real flowers, which gives an idea of the extravagant scale upon which the spectacle was filmed. Muse Tom Mix, the inimitable, is to be here again with new thrills, ad ventures, fun and romance in "The Speed Maniac." It opens a two day run at the Muse today. "The Speed Maniac" is a story of western lite, embodying, according to ad vance reports, a big auto race classic, a boxing match in which Mix cham .pions the weak and baffles the wrong; some daring rides on the famous horse Tony, and other "stunts" that show Mix a past master of his craft which includes handling a charm ing love theme. Empress Today affords the last chancev to see William Russell in "The Lincoln Highwayman," by Paul Dickey, at the Empress theater. The garage which Jimmy Clunder, the hero, acquires was specially built on the Lincoln Highway. Many high class motor cars lend a touch of luxury to the picture. The plot runs through many exciting incidents. AT THE THEATERS Omaha Man Elected to T i; ; Head .state Arcnuecis Alan McDonald was elected presi dent of the Nebraska chapter of the American Institute of Architects at the second annual meeting and din ner at the University club last eve ning.

'He is now at home with his grandfather, E. A. "Tuneberg of Hooper, Neb. Young Burleg is 14 years old.

THURSDAY evening at Boyd's theater E; H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, with their own com pany, will present'Twelfth Night," the first of four Shakespearean per formances they plan to give. In this Mr. Sothern plays Malvolio, a role he has made peculiarly his own. set ting it on a fine high comedy plane, while Miss Marlowe will srive her attention to Viola, in which she has delighted so many thousands of her admirers. "Rowly" Buckstone will play Sir Toby Belch and the rest of the cast will be in keeping. On Fri day evening the bill will be "Ham let,' at the matinee on Saturday 'Twelfth Night" will be presented, and on Saturday evening "The Tam ing ot the bhrew will be given, with Mr. Sothern as Petruchio and Miss Marlowe as Katherine. The seat sale has been such as makes certain, large audiences at each performance. For the evening shows the curtain will go up at 8 sharp, and at the matinee the hour is Z o clock. George M. Cohan took a week off last fall to write a new play. When it was finished he called it "A Prince There Was" and as a subtitle the most appropriated would be "A Modern Fairy Story." The two per formances today, matinee and eve ning, conclude its local engagement at the Brandeis. ment of an entire week starting next Sunday. The organization is headed by Fanchon and Marco them selves, whose terpsichorean skill is famous all over the United States. "A human bundle of springs" more fittingly describes Hattie Beale, the soubrette with "Butter flies of Broadway" at the Gayety thist week. There isn't a moment during the happy proceedings that Miss Beale isn't on her tip toes. Harry Cooper and Sam Howard are putting over the laugh lines with unfailing regularity and thoroughly pleasing the. theater's clientele. Ladies' matinee at 2:15 daily all week. Woman Awakened By Man's Cold Hand Against Her Face Mrs. Anna Boyshou, 3115 PinkW street, was awakened about 10 last night by a man's cold hand, thrust against her face. When she screamed the intruder grappled with her, but she eluded him and escaped from the house in her night clothing. The woman and her 11-year-old daughter, Freda were alone in the house. They had left the front door unlocked for an older daughter, an employe of the Western Union, who was attending a lodge meeting. Mrs. Boyshou said that the man commanded her to "lie still," when she woke, but that she jumped out of bed and ran through the front door, which he had left standing ajar. She went to the house of a neighbor and called police. Freda, the younger daughter, was awakened by her mother's screams and also fled from the house in her night dress. When the police ar rived the intruder had disappeared. Nothing was missing from the house. Detectives Find Dynamite ' Under Nicholas St. Viaduct: Detectives are investigating the finding of a stick of dynamite under the Nicholas street viaduct by R. W. Jones, special detective for thi Northwestern railroad. The explo sive is believed to have been hi'Jden there by a rioter on the night of the lynching of Will Brown, negro, Sep tember 28, when it was intended to be used to wreck the courthouse, if necessary. Jones turned the explo sive over to the detective department AMUSEMENTS. "The Long and Short of Vaude ville" as presented by Edna Knowles and Roger Hurst, at the Empress gives this lively pair excellent op portunities for witty cross fire talk as much of it lias a bearing 6n their appearance. Other features on this bill include the Three Weston Sisters, musical misses; Hugo Lutgens, the "Billy Swede Sunday;" and Cummins and White, who pre sent, an acrobatic novelty. De Wolf Hopper in "The Better 'Ole" will be the attraction at the Brandeis for three days starting to morrow night. Unlike the average play dealing with war, the interest in which ceases with the coming of peace, "The Better 'Ole" will con tinue doubtless to be most welcome, It was written by Cant. Bruce Bairnsfathcr and Capt. Arthur Eliot, setting forth the soldiers' brighter side in the late conflict. ,The com edy is replete with catchy musical numbers of Herman Darewski and Percival Knight. How circus riders are made is illustrated at the Orpheiim this week in one of the most hilarious acts of the bill. The offering starts with a real circus performance, with agile riders and four horses. When this part of the offering is over recruits trom the audience, chiefly young bovs. attempt to do some circus rid ing. They are kept from injurious falls by a means of a safety appli ance. Their grotesque tumbles are extremely amusing. especially pleasing to children is this act. Three stellar offerings are being presented this week, one by the French character singer, Nitta-Jo, one by the singing dialect come dienne, Lillian Shaw, and a third by Eva Shirley, assisted vby a jazz band and the Jazz dancer, Al Roth. Messrs, Shubert are bringing "Mayttime"'to Omaha next Sunday night to be the final and farewell at traction in the life of Omaha's old est playhouse. A superlatively fine company, se lected from the two big New York casts of the two years' run on Broadway, will sing and enact this lovely musical play for perhaps the last time in this city. The heroine, Ottillie Van Zandt, will again be es sayed by dainty Carolyn Thomson, who, sines her appearance here, has acted and sang the exacting role for over a year on Broadway. The celebrated Fanchan-Marco revue, "Let's Go," which held forth in San Francisco for 10 capacity, weeks, is scheduled for an engage- BEFORE "SAND-MAN" COMES Prepare for a Clear, Bright Day Tomorrow by Taking "Cascarets" for Liver and Bowels "Cascarets" tonight iurel Your system is filled with liver and bowel poison, which keep's .your skin sal low, your stomach upset, your head dull and aching and your, system full of cold.

W. ,C. A. auditorium under the auspices of the Business Women's club. Disciples of art is what they really are, for a sonata recital in its very nature is not the kind of recital Which appeals to all tastes. Its ap peal is to the true music lover and the attention and cordiality of the listeners last evening was not only a tribute to the musicians, but a sig nificant reflection of their own good musical taste. The recital last evening was given with the usual musicianship and fin ish which marks the recitals of these two artists. Mrs. Zabriskie's tone was clear and resonant and Mrs. Wagoner's work at the piano was well balanced, carefully phrasedand logically presented, while the work of each was marked with the many niceties which make solo playing a delight. The three sonatas chosen for the program offered the widest extremes of variety and content. The sonata in F major, by Mozart was charac teristic of this fastidious composer. The melodic charm, grace of phrase and faultless form were all present and piano and violin took turns in presenting the themes and the dif ferent bits of melody in the devel opment An Andante theme, and variations was most attractive and a dignified "Minuetto" closed the number,. It wrs a far cry from Mozart and the eigheerfth century to John Al den Carpenter of Chicago and the twentieth century. In a few remarks Mrs.. Wagoner' aptly said that the musical compo sitions of a time reflect the life of that oeriod. and that this soiibta has many typical characteristics of the present day. . This sonata is written in a very modest style, with much dissonance and vanety of rhythm, yet it proved to be a bier vital work in tour move ments, with a great variety of tcne color, strong thematic material ?nd broad sweeping climaxes. , The second movement. Allegro, and the big brilliant Presto Gio-oso, the closing movement, were espe cially interesting. This sonata was played with a careful regard for the cumulative climaxes and the strong rhythmic effects. Th$ always charming Grieg Son ata in F major closed the pro gram. . In.this each artist was es pecially happy, and the many bit of dialaguc between the two ' instru ments were played with an ease and freedom which made the various movements, noticeably the Allegro Molto Vivace, constantly enjoyable. An immensely fine ensemble marked the entire program. The artists were the recipients ot many beautiful flowers, and were recalled several times at the close ot the progiam. H. M.
