12 THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. JANUARY 23, 1920 BUSINESS MEN CONSIDER PLANS TO AID WORKERS ' -4 .Schemes Used by Omaha ' Corporations to Help Em ployes Save Discussed . At C. of C. 'A group of Omaha employers were m conference for more than three hours at the Chamber of Com merce last night discussing ways and moans of assisting employes to save. The meeting was in charge of D. . C. Buell, chairman of the thrift campaign committee. Although "the attendance was comparatively small, many replies to questionnaires sent employers to ascertain what steps were being taken to help employes save were received and read. In most cases employers stated that someystem of help was being ex tenriecLto employes. The M. Er Smith company Veplied that if i sMIintr ir nwn Kfnrtr in employes on the easy payment-plan. The Uplikei Milling' company re ported that it is receiving small de posits from employes and paying compound interest monthly of 6 per cent. The Morris Packig company reported that it is helping employes with the profit-sharing system. j Favor Thrift Plans. ' Without exception every concern favored extending some plan of as ; sitting employes as advanced by the thrift committee. The "home fund" plan, involving the financing of the employe as nec- essary, within reasonable limits, in order that he may own his own home, foHnd much favor among em- li nirare 1 . -ma mmatmiv Leo Bozell, secretary of the Real Estate board, and J. M. Gillan of the , Chamber of Commerce, outlined this plan, calling attention to the prom ised assistance of architects in fur nishing plans at a minimum amount, and urging its adoption. Chairman Buell, in a short speech, declared that the present orgy of spcnding.was the natural result of economic conditions. People are sim ply getting what they have always 'wanted, because they now have the financial means, he said. The rem- Ar im ulinnf 1iaot .flit lnvlirLoli do not give the satisfaction of things -' of real worth, and To push the thrift in buying idea, fie declared. The ''$15 silk-shirted youth" was the subject of much discussion, The employers, at last decided that there vvas no remedy for this evil, unless! the young man should meet som young woman who would teach him to save. A motion to continue the thrift committee indefinitely was passed unanimously.' . Unconscious From Gas CWir 24 Hnnrs. Ynuna -7 O .

CRANVLLLE BARKER, in an intimate discussion of prob lems' he encountered in the course of staging a production of "Twelfth Night," 'gives some space to the consideration of the characters in the play and lists that of Malvolio as a high comedy role. In this he is but endorsing the judgment of Mr. Sothern, who startled the wiseacres of the stage world several years ago by elevating the part from the level cf Sir Toby Belch and endowing the abused steward of the fair Olivia with such genteel parts that would warrant his being set in the position he occupied above the other servants in her house. 'Reasons for this are ample, and obvious, and so will riot he discussed. Mr. Sothern makes Malvolio just such a steward as might excite the malicious opposi tion of those under him and of a kinsman of his mistress, no more df servinsr than the bibulous Belch. who is 3lso unscrupulous. That Milvolio (el! into the trap set for him by the impish Maria detracts nothing from his otherwise worthy qualities. Stranger things than a young woman falling in love with her man of affairs have been noted, and Malvolio had no reason to de spise himself because the servants were in league to cut his comb. His vanity had a deep wound, but his pride and profier self-respect ear ned him off finally in high disdain of those who had tricked him. And this is Mr. Sothern's share in lithe play. Othewf??. it is Julia Marlowe's triumph. Tn one of her other roles does she appeal quite as in this. The perplexity- of the maid, who has but immediately lost her father and been separated by shipwreck from her brother, set -n by her nrdent patron to woo another maid, who also sor row : for a brother's death; finally finding herself in love with h:m whose cause she pleads so well, af fords a test fothe quality of aiu actress. That Mtss Marlowe does it sn simnlv. and vet endows it with such qualifies of sympathy and of understanding, maintaining com pletely her maiden modesty through her masquerade and yet showing the womanly sentiment that should not be suppressed indicates the skill as w ell as the opulence of hep art. Paranthetically, it may be ex pi. lined that the long rest she has taken his entirely restored her health, and never in her career has Miss Marlowe been more charming th.m she is at this time. Reveling in the rich opportunities of the role, Mr. Buckstone expends his unctuous humor on Sir Toby with such prodigality as makes it one of the best of his long line of creations. Mr. Crawley's Sir Andrew is well conceived and depicted with care. Mr. x Lewis acquits himself handsomely in the role of Orsino, showing the character of a man, rather than of a love-sick swain. Miss ChippcrdaTe is a orlghly minx as Maria, ami Miss Krivger js a thorough Olivia. In staging the plav Mr. Sothern has brought the part ot the fool into high relief, and Mr. Kelson fairly exults in the chances fciven him. His splendid yoice adds to the sontrs set down for him an enjoyable quality of richness, while tlie closing scene, a fade out, on him singing is a fine bit of stage management. Considerable emphasis has been l.v'd on the new departure. scenery in use bv Mr. Sothern and 'Miss Marlowe this season. It is simplicity almost to the point of no scenery at all, and yet permits of such arrange ment and variation as amply fur nishes the stage and perfectly sup plies the ickground and atmosphere for the action of the play. More over, it permits of such diminution in the wails between acts and scenes as to nearly make the- unfolding of the drama continuous. This, with the orchestra secluded beneath canopy that subdues the tone and enhances the" illusion, is a new note in stage management, suggestive that the, final subjugation of the stage settings to the drama is arhieved, and that it is the art of the actor and not the products of the scenic artist on which reliance is to be nut for holdine the attention oi the audience. Those who attended at Boyd s last night gave proof of their oleasure by numerous curtain calls. The bill to right will be. "Hamlet." with Mr. Sothern". as Hamlet and Miss Mar lowe as Ophelia. - . "The Better 'Ole at the Brandeis. Anybody who can see-The Better Ole" and then leave the theater without feeluig an. indescribable something in the heart, and agree with one'self that it's a pretty good old world' after all, "reds" and the high cost of- living notwithstanding. jtoould better see a doctor, For, "Jhe FATHER- 1 WHAT 1 A K THEATERS Better 'Ole" is a revelation to those who haven't seen it, and to those who have a second visit to the play, which has thrilled thousands in the great cities of America and England, is adding pleasure to fond memo ries. It opened an engagement at the Brandos last night. .The action is fast and furious, with several laughs a urinute," now and then a few of which are sand wiched in between mors serious sit uations, but always with a good chuckle at the end. It is a safe pre diction that "The Better 'Ole" will still be amusing the English-speaking peoples of the" world when pres ent veterans of the world war are telling stories to their grandchildren. This time De Wolf Hopper brings to Omaha the characterization of "Old 'Bill." good-natured "soldier of the British armies, who just to look at makes "one burst into laughter, and the next minute want to cheer. Mr. Hopper responded to a curtin call last night The role fits him to a "T" and he gets the last ounce out of every sit uation- Mr. Hopper has amused the American people fer many, many years, and he's at his best in "The Better 'Ole." An excellent supporting cast shares honors with the star. There's Harry McNaughton as "Bert" and Victor Dyer as'"Alf," "Old Bill's" pals, who do their share to keep the audience in an uproar. To name all the good actors in this fine play would be to write out the names of the members of the cast. - There are plenty of pretty girls in "The Better 'Ole" and they all know how to sing and dance. The musi cal numbers are catchy. Some of theW arc "We Wish We Were In Blighty," "When You Look in the Heart of a Rose," "Venus de Milo" and "Je Sais Que Vous Etes Gen til." The stage settings, scenery and electrical effects are a surprise and very true to life. "The Better 'Ole will be at the Brandeis tor the rest of the week, with a matinee Saturday. Local Stage Notes. Singularly enough, it has fallen out that the play selected to close the career of Boyd's theater is "Mav Time." a drama of such quali ty as is peculiarly appropriate, when it is recalled that another play of genuine heart-interest, "Alabama," was the first seen at the house when it was opened. Messrs. Shubert are sending the company here for the entire week, . beginning on Sunday eveing, with Caroline Thompson still singing the role in which she made such an impression here before and which she has played a year on Broadway since. William Norris is also in the cast, and nearly all the others who prsented the piece in New York. Cominst to America from Russia by way of Japanv Mile. Nitta-Jo is, one of the readline atractions this week at the Orpheum. She is a French character singer who was born in Paris. During the early per iod of the war she was playing in Roumania, from whence she went to Russia. The reign of terror forced her to escape. She saw up risings and massacres, aud finally made her way through Siberia to Japan, and after playing there for a time, set sail for the United States. Novelty is the Keynote of - the noted Fanchon-Marco revue, "Let's Go," which is announced for a yeek's engagement at the, Brandeis starting Sunday. As-dancers and creators ot novelties, Fanchon and Marco easilv hold the palm on the stage today, and in "Let's -Go" theyn are seen at their cleverest. The "Butterflies of, , Broadway" will flutter in a most satisfactory manner at the Gayety this afternoon and evening. Tomorrow matinee two favorites come for a week's visit, Harry Zoup Welsh and George 1 Hayes, with Barney Gerard's "Fol lies of the Day, in which pretty Evelyn Cumminghain will also be seen. Ladies matinee at ?:15. A very delightful and entertaining musical comedy is "Bud and Buddie Girls' which headlines -the new show at theEmpress. Budd, him self, of Ham and Budd Motion pic tures, is the comedian and his antics are laugh provoking. An act ot exceptional merit is the musical of fering of Pierce. and Goff,' attractive young women, who play a variety of instruments, including piano, cor net, arum ana xyiopnone. Farewell Dinner In Honor Of Judge William McHugh A farewell dinner for Judge Wil liam D. , McHugh will be given by the Palimpsest club at the Omaha club Monday evening, February 2, at t:M. - - This will be just before Tudee McHugh leaves for Cahfornw to spend six weeks before taking up his new duties as general counsel for the International Harvester company in ,Chicago, a position wmcn ne accepteu several weeks ago. , , Former Omahan Seriously Hurt by Car In Lincoln P.

Strand "Nothing is the matter with me except that I have married the wrong man," are Billie Burke's tearful words a few moments after she has been wedded to a handsome Italian count in her new Paramount Artcraft picture, "Sadie Love," which is the attraction at the Strand the ater the balance of the week. The picture is a thoroughly enjoyable screen version of Avery Hopwood's stage farce by the same name. Moon In "Brothers Divided," the Pathe feature on the program at the Moon theater today and Saturday, Frank Keenan, America's greatest character actor, plays the role of the under-dog and the upper-dog. The story concerns two brothers an.d each role is portrayed with marvel oiuf skill by Mr. Keenan, who also directed the picture. Sun Perhaps no more amazingly unique drama has evolved from the war than "Blind Husbands," the of fering at the Sun this week.

Rialto Every woman loves beau tiful gowns and in "Everywoman," the film version of the famous moral ity play, which is- being shown at the Rialto theater this week, a mul titude of the fashionable modistes' most modern creations are shown.

The gowns are exquisite and of varying character.

"You seem to have grown consid erably thinner since you were in Omaha the last time," saiijl a re porter for The Bee in an interview with Joh.i McCormack yesterday at Hotel Fontenelle. The great tenor rose from a chair where he was half reclining, made an elaborate bow and, in his rich Irish brogue said: "I thank you most kindly, sir. You have brightened my whole day. It's the re-remar-rk most pleasing to my ears." John arrived in Omaha at 10 yes terday morning from Davenport, la., with his valet and his manager, Charles L- Wagner. He is the same breezy, joking, punning, natural John McCormack and kept up a rapid fire of informal talk on a varie ty of subjects. - Never Talks Politics. "What d.o you think of the estab lishment of an Irish republic?" he was asked. "I never-r talk politics. It's a rule I've made. Besides, I'm an Ameri can citizen now, since last summer." Mr. McCormack was dressed in a blue serge suit, black shoes, purple tie, soft shirt. His hair is thick and black. His weight, to tell the truth. is hardly less than when he was here the last time. He was reading a letter written cn baby blue paper. Back to Ireland. "It's from me father," he said. "He's been reading the book about my life and he says here, I don t see how a young man of your years had the pluck to go through all that you went through, me boy.' He's a great old man and I'll be seeing him and me mother and sis ters soon." "You're aroine to sing in Ireland on this tour of the world you're making?"" he was asked. "In Belfast, Cork an' Dublin, witn the help of God an me own smartness." said John. "Is this one of your farewell tours?" asked the intrepid reporter. "Now, that was a very, very nasty r-remark, said the great tenor. "I apologize." said the reporter. "Accepted." said John. But One Farewell Tour. "No," he continued, "I shall, not make more than one farewell tour When you re about 75; re marked the interviewer. "Before I'm SO," said John Me Cormack with real seriousness. The great tenor mentioned the court house fire and lynching. Ah-h, the country was very proud of Omaha for that lynching and not, he said. Very proud, in deed not. In spite of his ban on politics. John McCormack showed that he interested hi the presidential race, For Hoover or Wood. "Governor Lowden would make a good president," iggested Mr, Wagnsr. "He's a big man." "There vou no aeain." said John "'He's a big man,' What has he ever done? I don't know what he's ever done. Now Wood would make a good president. He d make first-rate one. There's Herbert Hoover. I believe Hoover would make a very good president. And General Pershing might not be so bad. And there's Lodge and Root and Hughes and Bryan; don't for get Bryan. But I mustn't talk pol itics. John got one foot up on the other knee with some difficulty and began again perus'r.g the letter from his father. The interview was over. He declined to pose for a picture 'You've got plenty of them in your office, I know, that are good ones," he said. Laborer at Ice House Works All Day With Broken Rib George E.

"Whewr i Harry Underwood pursud his. lips into a long, mocking whistle at my demand for the reason for his es pionage upon Lillian .and me. I saw that he was in one of the moods which used to exasperate me most in the old days when he and Lillian, Dicky and I formed an almost in separable quartet. The hectoring badinage, the amused sneering smiles in which he then indulged himself were disagree ably fresh itumy memory.

Hamming general super intendent of the Union Pacific rail road, urged co-operation between carriers and shippers during a meet ing of the traffic managers' commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. It will be even more nec essary tor carriers and shippers to co-operate when railroads are re turned o private management on March 1, he said. . Byrne & Hammer Employe Charged With Silk Thefts Harry Smith, 2411 Harney street, an employe of the Byrne & Ham mer wholesale dry goods otnpany, was arrested last night for investiga tion of his alleged implication in the theft of a quantity of merchandise from his employers. Tolice say that Smith stol silk shirts and hosiery and sold them. , ' he should not tempt tne to an irri tated answer, his delight in the old days. So with a little shrug of my shoulders I dusted my hands from the work of changing the tire, walk ed a few steps down the road, and sitting down on a grassy bank, took my knitting, from the bag which I had taken from the car as I passed it anVl began lo knit unconcernedly. "When you havev quite finished your persiflage, Mr. Underwood," I said quietly, "I should be glad to have an answer to the question I just asked you." I did not look toward him as I spoke, so 1 had no means of know ing how he had taken my rebuff un til his quick, tirm step on the road beside me and the shadow of his tall figure made me look up involun tarily. Harry Underwood "Explains." "When you're serious you're deadly, as I very well know," he said. "So I throw up my hands. Know then, oh, Lady Fair, that my 'intolerable espionage' was not upon you at all, but upon a gentleman, who seems to be unduly interested in the movements of your self and Lil. At any rate, he's been watch ing you like a cat at a rat hole I hope you'll pardon the comparison and I didn't fancy his style of work, so I've been following him around myself. You know the stunt Dickens always pulled it, myster ious disguised man, friend of lovely heroine, watching over her, getting all threads of plot into his hands. then smash, bang, he sets everything to rights, foils naughty villain, res cues lovely lady well, behold me, That's little old fnel" He spread his hands grandilo quently while I sat sorely puzzled as to what part of this bombastic rig- Lmerole to take seriously. That there . was something in Mt I was quite sure. , A Tantalizing Question. Indeed, at his first words my everready fears had leaped to the image of the man I so unreasoningly feared, the pseudo-attorney who had frightened both Alice Holcombe and me by his attempts surrounding Mil lie Stockbridge's death. It was en tirely within the bounds of prob ability that the man had followed me out of this place hoping to frighten the information out of me he thought I possessed. But how Harry Underwood, of whom I had last heard as wandering around Eu rope after his escape from a Ger man prison, should have happened upon the scene and the knowledge he evidently possessed, I could not fathom. "Stumps you, doesn't it?" the sub ject of my query inquired mali-. ciously. "Can't figure out just how I turned the trick, can you? Well, it won't do you any harm to stew a little bit over it. I'm not going to gratify your curiosity now. Let it suffice I'm going to chew the dictionary a bit myself that yours truly is strictly- on the job for a little while. Now go on with your, knitting. I'll take a whirl at that tire." (Continued Tomorrow.) Union Outfitting Co. Makes a Fortunate Purchase of Floor and Table Lamps The Entire Stock Goes on Sale Next Saturday at Unusual Reduction.
