Two very large audiences attended
the matinee and evening performances at
the Creighton Orpheum yesterday, the bill
for the week being the Orpheum Road
show. This company has been specially
selected by Mr.. Martin Beck, the general
manager Of the Orpheum circuit, for pre-
sentation OF vaudeville features in cities
where there is no theater devoted to that
sort Of entertainment. Naturally 1t is
made up Of excellent acts, for the reputation
OF the Orpheum circuit depends to a large
extent on It's road show, at least in cities
where the company controls no house.
The present bill is a very %credi.able one,
being sufficiently diversified, to please all
and containing nothing but what is mer-
i%toriOus. Mcintyre and Heath are with the
company. They need neither introduction
or commentator locally, for they are de-
servedly popular in Omaha. Nat M. Willis
comes under this head. too. He Is as funny
and as original as ever, and has a lot
of new Junk in his act, some of his
''wheezes," as he calls the joker he
springs, both funny enough to a a
mourner laugh. His songs are new and
good. Eawson and June offer the novelty
of the bill. They are boomerang throwers,
spear jugglers and marksmen with bow
and arrow. Much amusement was afforded
those in a safe place yesterday by watch
ing the others duck when the heavy boom
erang was hurled out over the audience.
AS a matter of fact, no one is In danger,
for the boomerang fellows its fixed law
and returns to the thrower every time.
Nick Long and Idalene Cotton have a
sketch that gets the laugh. and Julius NJ.
Tanner gives limitations of well known
actors responding to curtain calls in a
way so clever that he had to bow several
calls himself. Magnetic Kokin is a grace
full dancer and sings we'll, and the Melai
trio furnishes some high class music, both
vocal and instrumental. They are labeled
comedy singers, but as their songs are in
Italian altogether, It is doubtful II many
who attended yesterday knew they were
comic, except as the singers themselves
laughed. Mcintyre and Heath will put on
their famous Georgia Minstrels' for the
last half OF the week,

SHOULD ATTEMPT TO UNDERsTAND
Rev. COnIey Say MisInterpretatiOns
Are often Disastrous.

Rev. J. W. Conley, pastor OF the First
Baptist church, Sunday morning took his
text frsm Matthew, Z: Cast not your
pearls before swine, After dwelling for
some time upon the various Interpretation
of the Holy Scriptures by the learned COM
m~entators, the preacher said:
W. always should be careful not to mis-
understand the holy word OF God. 1t Is
very easy to misinterpret the word. and
unless We be careful. those very things by
which we hope to be saved will be the
cause OF our ruin. God has committed unto
us His holy ordinances. What are we
doing with them7 Are we using them in
accordance with Gods intention, or are
we doing the opposite?
Some preachers tell us only Of the mercy
Of God, but tell you that God is not only
merciful, but He Is also Just. and it is TO
Him we will have to render an account OF
our stewardship"
