'Scandals' Chorus
Dressed in Paint
And Little Else
Marsh Launched Boomerang When
He Lied in Beach's "Silver Horde"
By BURNS MANTLE.
New York. Tune 19. rSoecial
Correspondence.) One of tl'e minor
scandals in "The Scandals of 1920," ;
which is the second of the series of
summer shows inaugurated a year
ago by George White, is a song en
titled "Swat the Profiteer." To il
lustrate the point of the jong six
of the more decorative members of
the ensemble skip out near the foot
lights carrying six high chairs, with
foot rests such as the bootblacks
use. Mounting the chairs, they pro
ceed to sing the newer economies
that are being practiced ii. their set,
including the painting of soc's upon
the limbs of the new poor. While
they sing a second sextet,
with paint brushes and pots, deco
rate their ankles and calves with
polka dot and lattice work designs in
varied colors, and when the job
is finished those who had appeared
most naked at the start of the
song romp away as completely
clothed as need be for the rest of
the evening.
Being a good idea, Mr. White tries
it again. This time tho song is
called "On My Mind the Whole
Night Long," and relates the trou
bles of a young somnambulist who
just could not sleep after he had met
and been charmed by a new sweet
heart. Under canopies cn trie mid
dle stage are posed jour sta
tuesque beauties in shining tights
extending from their slippered feet
to their waists, one in green, one in
orange, one in black, and another in
blue. With the spotlight turned on
them, they appear to be encased in
brightest of patent leather. Then
ey step clown, and just as they
leave the stage each reaches down,
draws her hand across her thigh,
and turns it palm outward toward
the audience. It is smeared with
paint. A novelty in chorus lady
decorations is thus achieved that is
fraught with possibilities. If the
girls escape lead poisoning and do
not object to the smearing the paint
ed chorus will probably become a
popular feature, of most productions J
until Dr. Mratton and the vice
squad get after them. I

Robert McKim, famed screen villian, is Marsh, the nemesis of Big
George Bolt and Cherry Malotte in "The Silver Horde" at the Sun today.
He accuses Boyd Emerson of being the father of Snowbird's child. But
Snowbird turns the tables on him by telling him the child is his own.
At the Orpheum This Week
Summer
Vaudeville
Jack I'rlnreton ! to heart the capable
company which, presents "Once Upon a
Time" a the headline attraction for thti
week at the Orpheum. The offering Is
a clever farce with tuneful music and
more humorous lyrtca than are commonly
heard. The excellent cast supporting Mr.
I'rlnceton Includes C. Leland Marsh. The
offering was produced by Menlo Moore
and MaoIUn Megley. The story has to do
with a young bachelor who dreams that
he Is visited by four sweethearts of bygone
days. He arranges a party chaperoned
by his supposed stepmother, who turns
out to be his college chum disguised as
a woman. Much laughable comedy en
riches the production. It Is an act which
carries a complete drawing room set. In
overy partlclar the offering Is elaborately
staged. The girlg in "Once Upon a Time"
aro all types carefully chosen to portray
the parts assigned them, lleorge Austin
Moore, presenting his clever songs and
stories, will be one of the most popular
elements of the show. He Is an enter
tainer of undoubted originality. His easy
and engratiatlng manner makes .him a
favorite from the first moment he ap
pears on the stage.
The Roealres present a decided novelty.
They first appear In a summer garden
scene, and later perform startling feats
on a tight-wire and a slack-wire. It Is
the staging of the act which produces
a manifest surprise.
Frank and Ethel Carmen are novelty
hoop rollers and baton Jugglers. It la not
alone their exceptional skill, but the grace
of their performance which especially
commends llself to vaudeville audiences.
Another excellnt act will be added.
Sister against sister la a struggle for
happiness is the theme of the feature
film, a screen story full of sentiment and
action. Its title Is "The Shadow of Hosalle
Byrnes," and it Is this picture that the
film favorite, Elaine Hiimmerstein, is seen
at her best. As usual, clever sayings from
the newspapers will be shown in "Topics
of the Day," and news events will be
pictured by Kinograms.
Empress For the first half of the week
at the Empress there will be two stellar
attractions sharing headline honors. The
first will be Ktrscorn's Swiss Song Birds,
presenting "A Morning on the Alps." Mr.
Hirschorn and his company are nil Omaha
people, so this act will prove of Interest
to the Omaha patrons. These artlats will
offer many vocal selections and Mr. Hir
schorn will yodel some songs. The set
ting Is that of a cabin In the Alpine moun
tains. The other stellar attraction will be the
Vand'irkoors, burlexque magicians, who
will present Felix, the mind-reading duck.
This act Is different from the usual magi
cian acts.
bstclle Dcspon will present a vocal act.
Mis Despon has a soprano voice, and will
slnrf new songs.
The Kials. aerial accrobats, will pre
sent an aerial ring flirtation, humorous
and thrilling.
Otherwise Mr. White's "Scandals
of 1920" are quite like those that he
introduced in 1919. His burlesques
are better and more timely, includ
ing more or less amusing travesties
directed at the heads of the profit
eering landlords, the politicians and
their foolish conventions, the Mex
ican bandits, the shortage of apart
ments, and the aerial cafe that rises
three miles above the limit and
then throws wide open the doors
and takes the lock off the stock of
case goods.
The principals include Ann Pen
nington, who dances a lot and sings
a little; Lester Allen, an eccentric
dancer of amazing agility; George
Bickel and Mr. White himself. Hav
ing become the proprietor . of the
show, Mr. White does not work very
hard, or very much, but enough
to get his name in the program and
keep faith with the advertisements.
"The Rise and Fall of Susan
Lenox" is the first of the summer
dramas. Susan, as those familiar
with the post-humous novel of the
late David Graham Phillips recall,
ne of those heroines who proves
that though a girl may be down she
is never out. Being a child of sin,
as the saying is, she is reared suc
cessfully by foster parents until she
is 18. Then, believing in her great
innocence that a promise of mar
riage is as binding in a summer
house in Sutherland, Ind., as it could
possibly be in a parlor with all the
lights on and the family just be
yond the portieres to serve as wit
nesses, she realizes her mistake
when it is too late. Her father, be
ing a stickler for the conventions,
insists that she shall marry a drunk
en fataier to save her honor, which
she does, but that night she packs
her trousseau and runs away.
After that Susan joins a theatrical
troupe, and when she is pursued by
those who seek to take her back to
Indiana escapes a second time and
goes to Cincinnati. But the men she
meets in Candidate Harding's state
are just as wicked as those she left
at home, and she is as hard put to
it as a Mack Sennett comedienne to
escape her pursuers. Fortunately,
after she is engaged as a fashion
model in a department store she
meets an honest man in the youthful
proprietor and achieves matrimony
and financial independence in tlie
last act.
It is a George V. Hobart drama
and is described as a "pilgrimage,"
G. V. being strong for allegory sinct
he wrote "Experience." It is a frank
reminder of those good old melo
dramas in which Bertha, the beauti
ful sewing machine operator, and
Nellie, who spent such time as sht
could command after escaping the
villians of the cast in posing as a
model for cloaks, had their own
troubles with the east, and will prob
ably make a better movie than it
a nlav. Meantime it will serve
tb convince the summer tourists that
these here city plays that are so
much talked about are in effect no
better than those they see m bouth
Bend and St. Paul.
There has not been much of a
break in the list of current attrac
tions so far, though the first hot
srell will thin them out materially.
This week there are 32 of the usual
list of SO still playing, including, of
course, the two record breakers,
"Lightnin'" and "East Is West."
"Lightnin"' is about to pass the
700th performance mark, which es
tablishes a new record for uninter
rupted runs. It has been playing
since August, 1918, and there is no
suggestion so far that it will be
ready to retire before next fall,
though , bookings have been ar
ranged for it in Chicago in Septem
ber. "East Is West" is well past the
600th performance mark, but is to
close in another week and will be
ready for the road next season.
Oliver Morosco, believing there
are many people hereabouts who
would like to see William Courte
nay as the hero of "Civilian Clothes,"
a role played originally in New York
by Thurston Wall, has brought the
Chicago company of that Thompson
Buchanan comedy home for a sum-
-run. Meantime Mr. Buchanan
Continues as an adapter of motion
nicture scenarios in California,
where, among other celebrities, he is
to be joined next season by Clayton
Hamilton, late assistant profeso of
Theater Wrecked In
Fire Revives Many
Oldtime Memories
the drama at Columbia university.
Heywood Broun, it is rumored, will
succeed Mr. Hamilton as a lecturer
at the college next season, taking
the position, no doubt, as a prepara
tory course before entering the
movie field himself. Considering the
talent that is being interested in the
cinema there certainly should be a
marked improvement in pictures
next year.
Lakeview Carnival Dance
Set for Wednesday Night
Wednesday night Lakeview park
will have a carnival dance as a spe
cial attraction at the big dance
palace.
One of Lakeview's annual
features, and always an evening that
is full of fun, this event is the
source of much enjoyment to the
many who always attend.
Al Wright and his famous orches
tra promise a special program for
the evening.
Serpentine, confetti, clown hats,
horns and all sorts of noise-makers
are given to the public without
charge.
Many of Omaha's biggest institu
tions are planning their annual out
ing for this resort. Yesterday Eg-gerss-O'Flyng
company held its an
nual outing, in which more than
500 employes attended. Another
event of great importance at Lake
view will be the summer outing of
the Union Outfitting company,
scheduled for Wednesday evening,
June 30. The Sandstorm club of
the Nebraska National Guard will
also hold its annual outing and
dance at Lakeview.
Saii Francisco, June 19. A bit of
San Francisco r.s it was before the
(ire was laid bare when the skeleton
of the old California theater was dug
up in excavating the foundation for
a new building.
The spot had not been touched
since 1906 and had become covered
with sand and weeds.
About the site of the old California
heater cling tender, poignant mem
ries of the early days of the state,
(t was here that Edwin Booth, Law
rence Barrett and John McCullough
nctors supreme in olden days, scored
i heir greatest artistic trimuphs.
Prof John Galen Howard, now
in charge of the department of archi
tecture at the University of Cali
fornia, and who designed many of
the early buildings at Berkeley at
the request of Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst, was a draftsman when the
California theater was built and
made many of the blueprints used
in the course of its construction.

Glaring Sun, Dust and Heat
Strain, Injure and Weaken Eyes
Says Dr. Lewis. Prescribes
Bon - Opto in Hot Weather
T.ll. How to Strcncth.a Eyesight 50 Par
Cnt in a Wak'a Tim. in Many
Instance.
Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Lewis, an eye
specialist of many years' practice, says
summer time is hard on eyes because the
liar, of the sun, heat and dust injure
and weaken them. He says it is possiole
to strengthen eyesight wonderfully in a
very short time by using Bon-Opto. He
prescribes it freely and further says: "A
patient cam. to me suffering from Ble
pharitis Marginalia. Her eyes had the
dull expression common to such cases.
8he used Bon-Opto and not only over
earn, her distressing condition, but so
strengthened her eyesight that she was
able to dispense with her distance glasses.
Her headache and neuralgia left her. In
this instance I should say her eyesight
was improved 109 per cent." Th. doctor's
advice will prov. of great value to many
eye sufferers. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes re
stored. One man says after trying it: "I
was almost blind; could not see to read at
all. Now I can read everything without
my glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night-they would pain dread
fully; now they feel fine all the time. It
was lilt, a miracle to me." A lady who
used it says: "The atmosphere seemed
hasjr with r without (lasses, but after
using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seemed clear. I can even read
fine print without glasses." It is believed
that thousands who wear glasses can
now discard them in a reasonable time
and multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be spared
th. trouble and expense of getting glasses.
Eye troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the sim
ple rules.
Go to any active drug store and get a
bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one
Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass
of water and allow to dissolve. With this
liquid bathe the eyes two to four times
daily. You should notice your eyes clear
up perceptibly right from the start and
inflammation will quickly disappear. If
your eyea ar. bothering you even a little,
take steps to save them now before it
is too late. Many hopelessly blind might
have been saved if they had cared for
their eyes in time.

Big Musical Program
Is Arranged for Krug
Park Visitors on Sunday
Another fine musical program will
be given by the Union Pacific band
at Krug park Sunday evening, com
mencing at 8:45 sharp.
These concerts, arranged to be
given two evenings a week at the
park, are proving a very popular at
traction for those seeking outdoor
entertainment, and each evening the
band plays the crowds grow larger.
Signor Liberati, cornet soloist, ap
pearing nightly at the park, has al
ready endeared himself to the great
musical public by his masterful
work on the cornet. People are
coming to the park from great dis
tances in the state to hear this noted
artist.
The following program is the of
fering for Sunday evening:
1. March, "The Cavalry
home was completed last week he
brought his parents west from Ohio.
He presented them with the automo
bile in which they rode from the
station, and fixed up everything ac
cording to the promise he had made.
Duncan is said to be the highest paid
motion picture serial star in the
world.
Numerous Free Attractions
Draw Crowds to Manawa Park
Thrift in recreation as in other
things is possible at Manawa park
this year, Manager Stewart points
out. "I have checked up the free en
tertainment offered at resorts, and
I fail to find any that offers as much
free of charge as does our park,
said Mr. Stewart.
Manawa park has free admission,
he said; free concerts every Sunday
and holiday by A. A. Wedemeyer's
2-l-piece band, free movies everv
night, free picnic grounds with
ovens, wood, water and tables, and
a free playground for children, with
many devices on which the kiddies
may play.
The few cool days last week
checked the rush to the bathing
beach at Manawa park, but on those
days the largest crowds of dancers
to visit Manawa this season were at
the park. The bathing beach, beint;
the only large lake beach open to
the public this season, is attracting
huge crowds on every warm day.
Fulfills Boyish Boast.
William Duncan made eood last
week on a boyish boast of vcars ago.
He told his parents that some day
he would build a home for them in
California, give them automobiles
and servants and provide every com
fort they would require. When the
