Watson and His
Helpers Make Their
Fun Very Attractive
H
ARRY B.' WATSON is both
' to the manner" and "to the
manor born." He is a down-
easterner, reared on a country es
tate in New Hampshire and fallowed
in the footsteps of his sir in the
profession of the theater. Mr. Wat
son will be seen here in the pro
duction of "Rubeville," among the
attractions that inaugurate the sum
mer season of vaudeville and picture
at the Orpheum today.
Mr. Watson .came from his peace
ful bucolic life ."back east to
visualize the rustic role of "Lem
Hiskers," proprietor ot the general
store and hotel in Rubeville. Years
ag5 when Den. Thompson was play
ing "The Old Homestead" to ca
pacity business over the country, the
senior Watson, who ' now has re
turned to the farm from whence he
came, was playing one of the prin
cipal rural types in the memorable
Thompson melodrama. 'Young Wat
son began his. stage career just 30
year ago. at the age of 9, m the
old melodrama "Lights O'London,"
but early in his career took to
comedy.
"Rubeville" is back again to its
own and will olav with its oricinal
cast with the exception of one char-J
acter. Eight of the original com
pany went into the service at the be
ginning of hostilities, in the late

Empress Gives Its Patrons
; Fresh, Cool Air in Summer
The Empress has put into oper
ation the big typhoon fans, in
stalled last summer and which kept
the patrons cool and comfortable in
the hottest weather. .
The cooling plant, 'consisting of
four eight-foot typhoon twin blow
ers and four six-foot typhoon twin
blowers, are the only equipment of
its kind in .Nebraska. These large
blowers are operated by four 15-horse-power
variable speed, motors,
which will regulate the breeze in ac
cordance with the weather. Fresh
clean and pure air is pumped in at
a rate of 23,400,000 cubic -feet an
hour, so that the air is fully.rep!en
ished every minute. The result is a
breeze always cool and refreshing.
Ten Commandments of Anita Stewart Blast
Theories of Girls Who Aspire to Silver Sheet
MU 5 I C
Here's Dimensions of Mildred.
Mildred Harris Chaplin, star in
"Polly of the Storm Country," was
born in Cheyenne, Wyo., in 1901.
She is five feet and two inches in
height, weighs 108 pounds, has blue
eyes and brown hair.
She has recently come , promi
nently before the public on account
of domestic difficulties with her
famous comedian husband.
Harold Lloyd says "the difference
between a young onion and an old
one averages about 960 volts."
When Anita Stewart -waft mak
ing scenes for "The Yellow Ty
phoon" jn New York City, a news
paper reporter was sent to ask her
the secret of her marvelous make
up. The interview turned out to
be a literal broadside of protest
against makeup in young girls.
Miss btewart put ner advice to
young women in the shape of 10
commandments, thus:
1. Happiness, of the right kind,
doth not come in bottles. So be
ware the incense of the perfume
bottle. Water, most beloved fluid
of man, doth not smell. So why
should a girl saturate herself t like
a worm dipped in fish lure.
Lip Stick Preventive. ,'
2. Honor thy powder puff and
use.it sparingly.- A shin- nose is
rather to be chosen than a walking
flour advertisement. ,
3. Lift not thine lip stick. Though
it may prevent irritating chaps, it
also prevents loving ones.
4. Bead not thine eyes for those
smeared ( are known for misbe-'
havibr. Teach not your eyes to
"string" like beads.
5. Many a 30-cent collar has
gone to the laundry through the
wicked rouge pot. A natural blush
is worth a bucket of rouge.
6. A pen can be pushed but an
eye-pencil must be lead, so do not
be deceived.
Price of Style.
7. Try not thy hair to dye in ac-
coraance wiin ine laiesi in kiu
gloves. A oruneue is a Druneiie,
but a bleached blonde is .a drug on'
the market. J
8. Vex not thy manicurist with
fingers stained with nicotine. Be-

The unusual feature of the pro
gram mentioned is interesting and
the comments of the correspondent
are more so. The recital in ques
'tion was a piano recital -by Mr,
I Walter Rummel:
! A eomcwhit iinututl foatur of hli pre

which, between the public and the muMc,
Is the rational mind of man. . . . The
ROila created man In their own tmae-
Man was bathed In the divine light. Whe.i
man ate of the fruit ot the tree the iroda
thrust him out of heaven and a door
closed behin him. They had created the
brain of man. ... And through cen
turtea and centuries the gods have mod
eled the somber vaults of the brain of
man; they have built labyrinth with
endless paths In order that the thought
of man should lose itself therein. . , .
Dimmer and dimmer the light of the gods
was reflected In man. . . . Complete
darkness, the doors closed. . . . Hern,
above, the resplendent aun of divine wis
dom. . . . Thee, below, the daric
shadow of the great vsulted door. Intelli
gence becomes Intellect fecundity, stern
ly. Inspiration becomes reason reality,
abstraction. The music of the spheres
becomes a parched script. The cold white
moon shines on a bottomless .try," etc.
There Is more of it. The Idea, which
grasp dimly, perhaps incorrectly, aeem
to be that the public should Immerse
Itself In the aeathetio enjoyment of muslo
without thought; that the public should
merely teei without effort at understand
In-.
But. I may add, if the artlat Is big
enough the public does feel without any
tffort at understanding. It Is only the
small artist that gives lecture-recitals.
The big artist possesses so much art that
l.e does not have to talk about It.- Just as
the big orator leads us by his personality
und magnetism to applaud wildly a lot of
iirai mac seems wsaK and flabby enough
when seen In 'print, so the great artist
leads ua (the public) to applaud when
we (the critics) know that the playing is
not good. Witness, Psderewskl. The
critics are almost uniformly against .him,
the public almost universally for him.
And the public has the best of It. They
got enjoyment, delight, out of It, while
tni crltio only gets a grouch. Quite right!
Intelligence Is out of place In an art the
lounuauon 01 wnicn is feeling. - r. p,
Mrs. Copper as chairman of the
civic music committee, which recent
ly sponsored the municipal concert
held in the City Auditorium, called a
meeting Thursday noon at the
Chamber of Commerce ,, for those
interested in furthering other con
certs of this sort. About 20 people
were present at the luncheon and it
was decided to sponsor another
similar concert for the 'evenine of
June 10. The same program commit
tee which managed the othet concert
will have charge of the coming One.
Mr. rrank Mach is chairman and.
owing to the fact that Mr. Twitchell
has left Omaha, Mr. George Camp
bell of the Y. M. C. A. quartet has
been appointed in his place. The
program for the coming concert has
not been completed, but more time
Will be devoted to community sing
ing, and the Y. M. C. A. quartet,
which proved so popular at the first

The 10th annual festival of the
Department of Music of the State
Normal school at Peru, Neb., took
place Wednesday, May 26. This is
the only May festival in Nebraska
which has survived a decade, as
most festival enterprises have a way
of dying after a few years, a point
which is noted in the attractive pro
gram b6oks announcing this event, j
There were three events in this fes
tival. The secular cantata, "The
Swan and Skylark," by Gorr
Thomas was presented m the morn
ing at 10 o'clock. At S p. m. a recital
was given by Miss Mynna Sharlow,
soprano, from the Chicago Opera
company, and at 8:15 p. m. a grand
concert by the chorus and visiting
artists closed the program. Besides
Miss Sharlow, the other soloists
were Etta Young, contralto; Ernest
Davis, tenor, and Frederick South
wick, baritone. Homer C House of
Peru is director and manager of the
Peru musical festivals, and it is due
to his interest and enthusiasm that
these have been successful for 10
successive seasons.
Two interesting musicians who
were in Omaha last week were Wf.
mot Goodwin, baritone, and Rudolf
Kafka, violinist. They gave two pro
grams at the Y. VV. C. A. auditor
ium under the auspices of the
Frances Willard VV. C. T. Ll Mr.
Kafka, previous to coming to this
country in 1914, was vorbereiter to
Scvcik, the celebrated Bohemian
teacher, who recently announced
his intention of coming to Amer
ica. Mr. Kafka is not only a violin
ist of excellent attainments,, but he
has done much symphony conduct
ing in his own country, and, upon
being asked said that he knew 78
symphonies from memory. Mr.
Goodwin, though advertised as a
baritone is really a basso cantante,
who combines fine training with a
splendid voice nd temperament.
He was formerly a member of the
Aborn and Century Opera com
panies, and he has done much
church work in New York City.
An interesting book on hov
play for the movies is mentioned in
the recent Musical Courier. It is
called "Musical Accompaniment of
Moving Pictures" and is the work
of Edith Lang and George West,
published by the Boston Music Co.
It is 60 odd pages long and is
divided into three parts, "Equip
ment, "Musical Interpretation" and
"The Theatrical Organ.'V. One sen
tence which is reprinted is the rea
son for our mentioning it: "Theatri
cal work is the antithesis of church
playing. A crisp clean staccato (de
tached; touch is the first requisite.
"How true," comments the Courier.
"And how few movie organists ,
know it."

The fugue is an old form of music.
developed through years of musical
activities by the ancient masters, re
vered by students and teachers of
music, and usually respected and at
times enjoyed by music lovers as it
is one form of music. which combines
variety and consistency. But it took
the music editor, of the London
Times to give the one tvpe of fusrue
a new kind of a slap in the face. In
writing; of a recent interpretation of
the Grave and Fuga for violin alone
by Bach, he expressed himself as fol
lows: "A fugue that depends on the
inversion of themes is a deadly dull
thing, even when Bach writes it. We
like to have one look in the glass be
fore going out just to see that we're
not a perfect fright, but that's
enough: it is an appalling thing to
get into the Hall of Mirrors, where
the inversions (left for right) re
peat themselves forever.'f
