ITv.js safe to estimate that two third of the onovie fans of Omaha Jiave been to the Rialto theater this week to see that good old southern screen production, "In Old Kentucky," featuring Anita Stewart. As nearly every person, young and old, like a horse race, to say nothing of the many other in teresting features of this produc tion, we add here that the picture will have its last showings at the Rialto today, "and if yau enjoy something thrilling, as well as to see some very clever screen' acting, make it a point to be at the box office early, so as not to miss out on this big photo-production. Sun and Muse Many critics as sert that "Pollyanna" is one of the greatest picture plays ever filmed. Th reason for this is that the philosophy upon which the story is baaed conltihited a theme hich at the present time has an unusually wide appVal. This production will be the feature at the Sun and Muse theaters for the last times today. Strand Lionel Barrymore repeats in the screen version of "T-he, Cop perhead" the striking impression which he made in this great drama of ciivl war times when it was pro duced as a stage play. The picture closes a week's run at the Strand today and is a production every per son should see. It is well worth the attention of every admirer of really line photoplays. ' Moon "Checkers" is about to leave us, and it's just possible we will not have another "Checkers" to thrill us for some time. The last per formance of the William Fox racing photoplay, which has been drawing good houses at the Moon theater this week, will be given today. The pic ture is a big magnet, with its com bination of humor, pathos and glow ing romance. Empress The dramatfc action of "A Man's Man," the photoplay at traction starring J. Warren Kerri gan, which is being shown at the Empress for the last times today, is as fast as a rapid-fire gun. From the first flash on the screen of the water tank station in the Arizona desert,' where the mining engineer defends the young girl then un known to him from the annoyances of a traveling salesman, to the final picture in far-off Sobrante, where he wins her heart and learns her real identity, there is not a foot of film that does not pulsate with intense nomantic interest. 1 AT THE THEATERS THERE are going lo be some do ing5 at the Gayety this after noon when Jacobs and Jertnon produce their 1920 "Burlesque Re view" for a week's engagement. Both in the completeness of the scenic and costume equipment, noth ing will be seen at the Gayety this season that begins to approach this attraction. The competent cast is headed hv Billv Snellman, with Ed Shubert. Harlie Mayne, Irene Mera, Irene Learv, Irving Gluck, Billie Clark and" Harry Emerson. An elaborately downed chorus com- nletes the organization. Tomor row's matinee starts at 3. That the MO most beautiful ' girls in the. world" are found in support of the famous Fanchon and Marco in their revue, "Let's Go," which concludes its week's engagement at the Brandcis theater today, with two performances, matinee and evening, is the proud boast of the stars them selves. Fanchon and Marco were hcadliners in vaudeville for several seasons, but their clever work in "Let's Go" discloses them at their cleverest. This is farewell day for Gertude Hoffman at the Orpheum. She will nresent her series of dances and impersonations this afternoon, and again this evening, ine curtain xo nieht is to rise promptly at 8 o'clock. The bill opening tomorrow is to offer two headline attractions, one contributed by Maude Lambert, musical comedy favorite, in combi nation with Earnest R. Ball, song composer. The other will be the one-act comedy, "Two Is Company," presented Dy Wilbur Mack and his company, which includes Louie Holly and Earl Bronson. Another featured act will be contributed by Charles and Henry Rigeletto, as sisted by the Swanson Sisters and company. The closing performance of "May Time" will be given at Boyd's this afternoon and evening, and with the end oi this engagement closes the career of the beautiful theater. This company id one of the most compe tent groups of entertainers ever seen in Omaha, while the quaint and wholesome attractions of the play itself commend it to all. Miss Caro lyn Thompson, Mr. Melville Stokes and Mr. William Norris have the leading roles. t ' When "Business Before Pleasure" conies to the Brandeis theater for foflr days begining Sunday "night, February 1, Omaha will be given the opportunity of seeing Abe Fotash and Mawruss Perlmutter in the "fillum" business. Harry First is Mawruss and Jules Jordan is Abe. The vampire, wjio causes all the trouble, will be portrayed by Miss fane Lowe. A capable company sur- ' rounds the principal players. Howard and Lewis, at the Em press, are a pair of clever farceurs and aluong vaudeville's cleverest funmakers. They offer a comedy song and dialogue conceit entitled, "Do You Like Me." The Eight Vassar Girls, offer one of the prettiest of musical numbers, 'play ing a variety of instruments. The stenery is distinctive and elaborate. Veteran Engineer Dies; John Stevenson, 74 years old, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph M. Dougherty, 6557 Flor ence boulevard, Thursday night. He worked as a locomotive engineer for 25 years wrth the Union Pacific. B. C. Grosse Dies of "Flu;" Wife Hi With Same Disease Benjamin C.
