ti THL OMAHA SliaDAV BEE: KEBKUAKi' 2'J, 11)20. V Realism Is Belasco's First ) Last and Middle Name WILD BLOOD i IN THIS ONE DAVID BELASCO'S production 'Tiger Rose" opens its en . gagement of two nights at the Brandeis theater on Tuesday night with a special popular price matinee on 'Wednesday. This play is from the prolific pen of Willard Mack and it-will he a Belasconian production Tvith a typical Belasco cast, each player said to have been selected by that master of stage wizardy for his or . her adaptability to portray the intense drama in which the children of nature figure tempestuously in a colorful story. r "Tiger' Rose" is the name given to , a'girl of mood and intense nection, who seeks to hide her lover from fy's pursuers, and who brings both wit and courage to his assistance. This is Rose Bocien, whose life in the remote Hudson bay country has left unsophisticated yet wilful and intensely loyal of heart and keen of brain. Rose's lover has been ac cused of a crime. An admirer of Rose, a constable of the northwest mounted colice. seeks to capture him. Rose determines to aid her loved one and through her knowl edge of the country almost causes him to escape. A storm arises and the lovers are trapped in a deserted log cabin in the dense primeval for est. Explanations follow and a logi cal ending takes place. rThe locale has given Mr. Belasco congenial opportunities for his craftsmanship, in which he is said to make the stage illusions comparable to nature herself. This pictorial skill he has centered on two set tings, the home of the Hudson bay trapper and the deserted cabin. They are elaborated with beauty which makes them masterpieces of Mage composition. The original Ly ceum theater, New York, production is employed intact "Come Along ilary," which opened at the Brandeis theater last night, remains over for an exjra. and final performance tonight. It has joyous music, songs that are tune fuIatong with an Interesting plot - tnSSJL continuous in laughter. The ctikml principals includes Kenneth ChriSty, Helen Johns. John Buckley, Edra - Raymond and the dancing Ta&nans. . . : D5f Baktr, noted as a portean I actor, comes as the star in the r,cve, Tlashes," which will be the dominant attraction this week at the Orpheuni. He portrays a Jjcmber of different characters. The company he- heads is one of 20 people. Charming Polly Walker is one of the principals, and the clever dancers, Bud and Jack Pearson, are two ojhers. The revue is offered in four scenes hansomely mounted. The lightning wardrobe changes nadg" by Mr. Baker are accom ptistiSl without assistance, A smart divertistfment is to be contributed as abf the featured acts by Ernest EvaJB assisted by Ora . Dean, dansettse", 'and three girl instru mentalists. Noel Travers and Irene Douglas, stock stars of prominence, are to appear in the one-act play, "Morning Glory." They are assited by Louis Thiel. One of the most popular acts of the bill Swill be con tributed by Frank DeVoe, who with Harry Hosford will offer "Ex cerpts of Musical Comedy." Polly, Oz and Chick are making this their first appearance in Omaha. Their offering is extremely popular. Hud ler. Stein and Phillips are a vocal trio, bass, baritone and tenor, whose concert offering has the merit of distinction A spectacular riding ) w AX d f' fate t:9 imm r-rui r i v.y """ d i Ml A LT HOUGH David Belasco has IA often been called a stage wiz ard on account of the marvel ous stage effects he produces, he disclaims any supernatural powers in stage-craft. He states that to pro duce realism on the stage you must use real objects, wherever possible, and not artificial substitutes. For instance, when Mr. Belasco stages a rain storm, like the startling down pour which is a part of the equip ment with "Tiger Rose," while it would be an impossibility to use real rain, he does use real water for the deluge. And, while thi lightning shown in that impressive scene is not direct from the heavens, it is real in the sense that it is electricity Ken erated especially for the flashes seen. i Frank Hunter, Virginia Ware and the McCloud sisters, of whom it is said that Flossie is considered to h centnc dancer.

The wonderful lure of this "Paradise of the Pacific" is kept constantly be f -re one bv a troupe of native Hawaiians who play and sing their native melodies during the action of the play. The cast is an excellent one and also a large one. The scenic investiture is elaborate, One of the stellar attractions to be offered at the Orpheuin next week is ,to be contributed by Will M, Cressy, who will also tell of his ex perience overseas with the army in France. He was there last season, and that is why he did not play at the Oroheum. Another headline at traction will be contributed by Nat Nazarre, jr., who brings with him the Atlantic fleet jazz band. One of the featured acts is to be contributed by the Marmein sisters, Miriam and Irene, who will appear in a revela tion of dance and music. They bring with them the piano virtuoso, David Schooler, This is to be circus week at the Empress theater, with a big circus act to be provided by Galletti's monks, headlining the i vaudeville show and a circus picture "Her Elephant Man," as the feature photo play attraction. Galletti's monks go through their program of antics without being coached or command ed. The moiikeys present pantomine circus tricks as performed in a tent show. A travesty on "Family Af fairs," representing the first month and two years after marriage, to bev offered by Archie Vincent and Eleanor Raymond, promises to be the laughing hit of the bill. Will Morris, pantomimist, will perform innumerable stunts on a bicycle, that begin where the average rider leaves off. He also presents a routine of tricks that are new and which he and would have the same effect it its course was not directed so that it would not shock people or set tire to any portion of the scene. To pro vide for any possible danger from the latter, asbestos scenery is used where the lightning plays in thiss storm. There is also a real clock, an old-fashioned grandfather's clock, used in one of the scenes in "Tiger Rose," and its steady, methodical tick-tock is heard all through the continuance of a thunder storm but in order to provide against pos sible stoppage of the pendulum, a small electric motor moves the ma chinery of the clock and makes it work automatically. Where pos sible, real leaves are used in forest scenes, blended artistically into the painted canvas. So that to the audi ence it looks like nature itself. In none of his other huge suc cesses has he ever had an oppor tunity for full play for his inventive faculties as he has had in "Tiger Rose." W ith the locale of the story laid in j northernmost Canada and with part of the story happening during a thunder and rain storm, with a beautiful morning sunrise after the struggle of the elements, he has devised for his production such beautiful settings that review ers all over the country have given it unstinted praise. , The original New York production will be used here when the "Tiger Rose" plays a three days' engagement at the Brandeis theatre, Tuesday night and Wednes day night, with a special popular price matinee on Wednesday after noon. A cast of true Belasco excel lence will enact the roles in-this beautiful romantic story of red blooded men and women in the wilds of wooded Canada, far away from civilization.
