CITY WAIFS ALL ANXIOUS TO RIDE THAT FARM HORSE Manager of Bureau Says She Could' Provide Farmers With 100 Boys From Omaha! The song, "How Y' Goin to Keep 'Em Back on the Farm," doesn't ap ply in Omaha, according to Mrs. Mabel Walker, manager of the em ployment bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. In fact there is a strong "back to the land" sentiment in Omaha, Mrs. Walker says. An appeal foe a boy who would like to live on a ranch -by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Woltz, Kenne bec, S. D.. published in The Bee two days ago, has resulted in an ava Ianchebf telephone calls from youths eager to try farm life, and five boys have applied in person at the bureau for the position. Give Waifs a Chance. "Eaclfand every applicant believes he is just the boy foV the job," Mrs. Walker said, "and as only one boy is wanted the others will be bitterly disappointed. I believe there are at least 100 boys in Omaha who would be better off on farms, and if farmers will write me I will furnish them with the finest kind of boys. Farmers could do much to solve our social unrest problem by giving city waifs a home." Henry Woosley, 9 years old, a round faced little boy who never rode a horse in his life, is one of the applicants. His mother died .of the influenza a year ago. and he has been living with an aunt at 3432 Nebraska avenue, but his aunt already has a large family of her own, he says. " Still Hauling Ashes. Rollie McDonald, another appli cant, is 17 years old. He stayed in school till he reached the Sixth grade, he says, then began making his liv ing haulinc ashes. He is still haulin? ashes, and his one desire is to return ' to school, he said. Mr. and Mrs. Woltz offered to adopt the boy they chose, and said they would send him to school.

Mr. William Adams, Mr. Cyril Tlapa, ' Mr. Boyd Clarke, Miss Virginia Wells. E. H. Sothern, as Pctruchio, in "The Taming of the Shrew," at the Boyd theater last night, left no doubt in the minds of .his friends that Shakespeare intended that this should be p. farce for laughing pur poses firstiy, its moral taking sec ondary place. With Miss Lenora Chippendale, who had the role of Katherina, the shrew, Mr. Sothern was required to respond to many encores. The con elusion of his engagement here was a sort of "Godspeed until we meet again." As for the production in its entirety, it may be said that it was an artistic 'triumph and was thor oughly appreciated by a large audi ence. It may seem to be a far cry from "Hamlet" of the previous night, but Mr. Sothern's talent carried him through in last night's lighter roh. The performance was given with a snap which comported with the breezy lines of this famous old play. Miss Chippendale' was equal to the exacting transformation - from a shrew with 'a high-powered temper ament to the finale, where she ap pears as an obedient . wife, ready even to shqw the way of wifely obedience to other wives who have not yet learned the lesson, as Kath arina finally sees it, that a wife should be gentle and hearken with out demur to the word of her "lord and master;" even to say that the moon is shining when the sun is shining, if her husband insists that the moon is shining. . Mr. Sothern has a fine conception of the boisterous Petruchio, who be gins at the marriage altar to enforce his will upon "Katharina Minola, re nowned in Padua for her scolding tongue." He goes into the affair in a spirit of adventure, addressing Katharina as "Kate" at their first meeting- Having previously heard of her petulant nature, he mocks her by tellimr her that she is "sweet Kate, bonny Kate." She starts out by calling him a "crab, madcap ruffian and swearing Jack," and that only sends him into transports of humor. He carries the situation to a logical conclusion, administers a sort of third degree by denying her food on their wedding night and otherwise crushing her proud and haughty spirit until she is as meek as Mary's historic lamb. The com edy, of course, does not stand on all fours with present-day ideas of the marriage relations, but nevertheless She has had professional experience with the Shakespearean player, John E. Kelleid. Miss Marjorie Hudson of Council Bluffs will play the part of the parlor maid in "Between the Soup and the Savoury," She was prominent in dramatic work and de bating while in high school. Mrs. B. R. Boasberg, who will play the pan of Mrs. Don, the moth er, in J. M. Barrie's play, "The Well Remembered Voice." Mrs. Boas berg was j charter member in the Milwaukee Little theater, where she played for three years. it is a delightful comedy and was never ' so splendidly presented in Otnaha as it was last night. Julia Marlowe appeared as Bianci, sister of Katharina. Mrr Granville as Gremio gave.anotherdemonstra tion of his dramatic art. Each char aster, was Riven a careful interpre tation and personal mention might be made of every member of this excellent company of artists.' Many of the attendants at the Boyd theater last night were mind ful of the fact that they were wit ness, ng the concluding performance of , the serious drama in this his toric plrtvpovse, for-the last produc tion, a musical piece, will open today for a week, after which the theater will be but a memory. Experts Engaged to Do Fancy Skating at The Hotel Henshaw ' James J. Burke and partner, Miss Edna Blue, assisted .by the .
