however, giving exhibitions of bicycle riding
that have astonished all Europe. The Brothers
Painter, acruhats from the Palace theater,
London, are said to perform some startling
teats. The Lucifers are embodiments Of ath-
lctlc perfection; it Is Of interest TO know that
their development was personally overseen by
Saudow himself.
The humorous features Of the program will
be supplied by NJ. O'Gust, the French clown
and pantomimis', who comes direct to Amer

THE Pay Train which comes to the
Creighton for three nights, commencing Thurs
day, November I, is of that class of play
built in and about life on the rail. Its char
acters are Of the railroad, and its scenes and
incidents deal with II. This fact. taken in
connection with the fact that incidental to the
play some OF the most perfect OF stage mech
anisms ever used are introduced to produce
the well known effects Of the rapidly flying
train, make the play one of marked interest.
The story of the play is one intense in heart
interest, Astounding in comedy.
Manager Il. 7. Davis has secured tempo
rary possession of Boyd's theater for this
Sunday evening, in order to give the Omaha
public an opportunity to see his spectacular
and mammoth production of Uncle Toms
Cabin" The dramatization Of Mrs. Stoves
historical story has even been a favorite with
the women and children, and they always go
to see the performance, no matter what the
grade of excellence may be. The Cook twin
sisters are said to give the best production
Of the old play seen here in a long time. The
organization is headed by the sisters them
selves. The characters of Uncle Tom. Eliza,
Little Eva and Marks are said to be ably
represented, and the large corps of colored
singers and dancers, bloodhounds. etc, give
A realism to the performance. The scenic
and mechanical effects are good. and the pic
tUresque transformation scene forms a fitting
close to the whole. Manager Davis has fixed
his scale of prices so that they are within the
reach of all, The box Office at Boyd's theater
will be open all day Sunday.
: At the Creighton theater for four nights,
commencing with the matinee today. Ward
and Vokes and their big company will pre-
sent "A Run on the Bank" making their
second appearance in Omaha as stars. The
merit of a farce comedy production is en-
tirely dependent upon the class Of people en-
ployed to present it. "A Run on the Bank
is a vaudeville show with just enough of a
plot to make an excuse for dividing it into
acts, instead Of a continuous bill. 1t is on the
strength of the company presented that the
Ward and Nokes management bases its most
binding promises. OF course Ward and vokes
are the same happy-go-lucky "hoboes' that
they have always been, and the percy and
HAROLD speciality is still their particular
sketch, but there are others. Little Johnny
Page, an acrobatic comedian; AL Bellman, a
baritone singer; Tony Williams, Arthur X.
Deagan, Joe Kelly, Eckert and Berg, in grand
opera duet selections; Cyrus Riddell, Gilbertie
Learock, Margaret DAILY Mrs. Vokes). one OF
the famous Daily sisters; Lottie Moore, Inez
Rae, Lillian Maynard, Efie Kamman, Julia
Ayers-all these people serve to make a most
promising bill of musical farce.
Hermann, the master of the arts of magic.
mirth and mystery, appears at Boyd's the
alter on Friday and Saturday OF this week.
He has made his present entertainment the
most important one he has ever presented
by giving special attention to elaborate spec
tacular illusions, making them dramatic and
beautiful. He will present his old favorite
illusions, such as After the Ball. THE
Asiatic Trunk Mystery "The Artists
Dream ''The Columbian Transformation.'
and several new and startling effects are
promised. Nine. Hermann performs a large
share of the entertainment, appearing in
character and also as a spectacular danseuse.
Her creations in novel dances with
VARIOUS colored lights from fourteen
lenses, presenting new and brilliant
Kaleidoscope combinations, are differ
ent from any ever seen before. In each of
these dances Nine. Hermann heightens the
effect by wearing beautiful and gorgeous cos-
tunes.

better and numerically stronger than ever
this year, are underlined to appear at the

beginning a half weeks engagement.
Walter Damrosch has nearly completed
preparations for the second season of Wagner
opera. The newly organized company will
give a brief preliminary season In Cincinnati,
after which it will go to Chicago to open the
Auditorium engagement November IS.
In securing Klafsky, the leading soprano OF
the Hamburg opera; Popovici, the baritone,
and Wilhelm Gruening, tenor, Mr.. Damrosch
has created a much stronger organization
than that Of last winter. Frau Klafsky is
noted for her impersonation of Isolde. The
German prima donna has been for several
years the leading artist at the Hamburg
Royal opera. She has also sung in Beyreth
and London. Klafsky is much younger than
Sucher, and like all eminent Wagnerian art
lists her physique is Of heroic mold. Popo-
vici, the new baritone, is a Rolmanian by
birth and has also been heard in Beyreth.
Herr Gruening, who especially eXcels in the
roles Of Lohengrin and Tannhauser, is, like
Klafsky and Popov!ci, a member Of Pollini's
Hamburg company.
The following works are announced for
production at the Auditorium in Chicago:
Tristan and Isolde" "Lohengrin," "rlnn-
hsuser," "Die Meistersinger," Die Walkure,"
"Siegfred," DIE Gotterdammerung," Der
Freischutz' and "Fidelio." Alvary and
Gruening will probably alternate in the roles
Of "Taunhauser' and "Lohengrin." The Sc
lection OF operas for the Omaha engagement
during the holidays will be made from the
above list. Lovers OF German opera are
| anticipating an unusual feast, and Manager
Hyncs Is to b. congratulated on his success
in booking the Damrosch organization.
