THEATRICAL NOTES
Among the pretty girls in the com
pany that will appear in "The Brownies"
during the coming season at the Lan
sing will be found Beatrice Moreland,
the beautiful young actress who
recently became the subject of a great
deal of newspaper notoriety through
the strange actions of a man who fol
lowed her from place to place, and
seemed to exercise an absolute control
over her. The case, which was quite as
remarkable as the fictitious story of
"Trilby," by Du Maurier, was tele
graphed far and wide throughout the
country, and was given whole columns
of space by the New York Dailies.
Miss Moreland's first experience with
this "Svangali" of real life happened
towards the close of a long run of "The
Brownies" in Now York. She noticed
one night a tall, well dressed man in
the front row during the first act. Night
iter night he sat in the same place,
with his piercing black eyes fixed upon
her, and Bhe was powerless to reJst
their subtle charm. The man did not
Tenture to molest her, and there was an
air of inexplicable mystery about his
actions. When the next season opened
in Bridgeport, Conn., she noticed him
again in the audience. She began to
move sb if in a dream. Suddenly she
burst into tears on the stage, and had
to be carried to her dressing room.
Later she packed a few things in her
valise, walked mechanically to the rail
road station, boarded a train and went
to New York.
Her mysterious disappearance excited
columns of comment in the newspapers.
The spell did not wear off for a month,
at the end of which time Bhe rejoined
the company in Washington.
One night, during the engagement at
the Columbia theatre in Chicago, Miss
Moreland had a presentiment that her
-Svangali" was in the house. She grew
ao nervous that the refused to go on
with her companions in the Oriental
ballet. She was induced to do bo, how
ever, and had been on the stage only a
few minutes before she became hysteri
cal and was carried in a faint to her
dressing room. This same experience
occurred to her in Minneapolis, and
later in Milwaukee,
Miw Moreland's greatest fear is. that
she will meet her tormentor again. The
man's strange actions are unaccount
able, and the whole affair is enveloped
in mystery.

On Wednesday evening October, 28th
for an. engagement of one night only
will be presented at the Lansing Thea
tre for the first time in Lincoln, the
English version of Madame Sans Gene
(Madame Don't Care) by Victorien Bar
dou, of the French Academy, and Em
ilia Moreau. Manager Pitou has repro
buced the Paris production in every
detail, and he has spent at least Twenty
Thousand Dollars on the equipment
Manager Augustus Pitou takes pleasure
in announcing Kathryn Kidder in the
title role supported by the principal
members of the original cast, with all
the magnificent scenery, properties,
costumes and Empire furniture and
decorations which contributed to the
great success of the play in the cities of
the East.
On Friday evening. October 30th at
the Funke, we are tc have the pleasure
of witnessing the production of the
latest operatic novelty "An American
Beauty"' with the favorite prima donna
of the country. Miss Lillian Russell.
ThisRnnouncementmeansa great deal
to the admirers of good auric, pictures
que stage settings and grand costumes.
The coating of Lillian Russell is an
event in itself. She is as magnetic and
beautiful as ever. Tne opera was writ
ten by Mr. Hugh Morton, while Mr.
Gustavo Kerker, who could not write
anything but tuneful melodies if he
tried, furnished the music. The situa
tions are said to be the most comical
ever devised for a light opera. Miss
Russell is a commedienne as well ad a
prima donna, and enters into the fun
frolic of her role with the abandon of a
hoyden. She has in her company
several of the comedians who have
made New York laugh in the recent
Casino successes, those light and frothy
things which just happened to hit the
popular fancy, and they impersonate
roles which are the essence of comicality.
Manager Zehrung takes pleasure in
presenting, for the entire week of Octo
ber 19, the Bittner Theatre Co. This
company has played the Boyd theatre
in Omaha three weeks this season, and
come to the Funke opera house very
highly recommended by the manage
ment of the Boyd and the press and
public. Mr. and Mrs. Bittner were
members of the "Friends" company that
is so well remembered by the Lincoln
theatre going public. There are four
teen members ot the company, and
each play is put on in a manner that
would reflect credit on a company play
ing at regular prices. On Saturday
afternoon a ladies' and children's mati
nee will be given, and over one dozen
large dolls will be given away to the
little ones holding the lucky numbers.
The price at the matinee will be ten
cents for children under fifteen, and
twenty-five cents for those over that
age. The company op:ns in the late
Bartley Campbell's beautiful society

called, "Rose Cottage. During the

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to euro in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
.he medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatement. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood 'and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disea
se, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work

Cod-liver oil is something more than a fat. Its peculia
action depends on a number of substances, among which
might be mentioned iodine and phosphorus. There can be
no substitute for cod-liver oil, because there is no other oil
known which has in natural combination with it such a
large number of valuable medicinal agents.
Scctlk SrrvulsicTu
of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypophosphites contains the whole
oil, with its natural properties, and in a thoroughly emulsified
or digested condition. The hypophosphites increase the
appetite and impart strength to the nervous system. This
combination has marked curative properties in a number of
diseases of the skin and scalp, to which scrofulous persons
are peculiarly liable. Such diseases as chronic eczema, ring
worm, and other skin affections, are often quickly cured by
the constitutional effects following the use of Scott's Emulsion.

From "Newspaperdom" (New York).
"I have come to the firm conclusion, after
a long test and after a wide comparison
with the journals of many cities and coun
tries, that The CHICAGO RECORD comes
as near being the ideal daily journal as we
are for some time likely to find on these
mortal shores." Prof. J. T. Hatfield in
