Brandeis Play
House Employes
Seek Scale Raise
Theater May Be Forced to
Close If Union Demands
Are Pressed, Manager
Declares. v ,
The high scale of wages demanded
by the stage hand, musician and
bill poster unions threatens the ex
istence of the Brandeis theater as a
combination house, Joy Sutphen,
manager, said yesterday.
"The Brandeis theater has not
f
signed a contract with staj?e em
ployes, musicians or bill posters,"
said Sutphen this morning.
"The Brandeis theater cannot pay
more than $500 a week for stage
hands and remain open," said Sut
phen. "Stage hands at the Brandeis
received a total of $594.50 for the
five performance engagement of
"Clarancc," and $524.50 for the
"Scandals of 1920." Incidentally or
chestra costs were $340 for both of
these engagements." ,
According to Mr. Sutphen the
scale paid stage hands here is higher
than in any city except Kansas City.
Stage employes who are heads of
departments receive $50 a week and
extra men get $2.30 up to $3.00 a
performance.
The orchestra leader at the Bran
deis theater receives $12 a perform
ance and side men $6, according to
Sutphen. Musicians ask a contract
guaranteeing 36 consecutive weeks
molovment whether the tneater is
open or not. Air. sutpnen saia.
" It is known $25,000 a year has
been offered for the use of the Bran-,
deis by the Pantages circuit. This
,is considerably more than the the-
mer is now receiving, but it possible,
J the management will continue to
' :uii it on the present basis, in the
' belief that Omaha is entitled to one
legitimate theater, Mr. Sutphen says.

Protest of Driver
Police Justified in Arresting
Traffic Law Violator, Head
of Department Declares.
James A. Quinn, 520 North Twenty-third
street, has no justifiable
grounds for complaint against the
circumstances of his arrest and de
tention "a weekoigo, Police Commis
sioner Ringer said yesterday.
Mr. Quinn appeared before the
city council to protest against being
held in the city jail from 3:30 a. m.
until police court convened, without
being allowed the privilege of call
ing a friend to furnish bond.
"My reports from Sergeant Carey
and Detectives Herdzinaand Risk
show that Quinn was driving past
the South Side police station at 3:15
a. m., without tail lights, or license
plate and he was speeding," said Mr.
Ringer. "He was fined $25 in police
court. Quinn's own statement to
me gives the information that he
had taken Hazel Lavin and Bertha
McLaughlin to their names, while to
the council he stated that he had
taken some friends to a depot. In
my judgment the circumstances of
the case warranted his arrest by the
officers. He was not mistreated.
There is no further action for me
to take in the case."

If you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soups and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Mulsifled
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten you hair with wa- ',
ter and rub it in. One or two tea-,
spoonfuls of Mulsined will make an.,
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulisfled cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone In the
family for months. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulisfled.
