With George Evans leading the bunch
it's a runaway sure enough. This clever
little chap made Omaha people forget all
about Artie Dunn in the part in about
two minutes after he came on the stage,
last night at the Krug. and 1--WE minutes
later he had everybody laughing so that
the leader of the orchestra couldn't hear
the bass drum. That about tells the story.
Evans is as clever as he is cute, and well
bears the reputation OF being a comedian
Of the first class. He has another ad.

be most effectively delivered. His recep-
ton last night was such as ought to make
him feel good all the rest of the week
But Honey Boy" isn't the whole show.
Charlie Dox is a good comedian, as much
longer in inches over the common man as
Evans is shorter Both the Bowman 3
average up well, and Harry Smith isn't
slow. Mr. Wallace has a fine tenor voice,
and looks good in his uniform.
Mona Darlington has been seen here be-
fore, and is always a welcome visitor.
Margaret Sutherland looks as well as acts
the part of Princess Angelcake, and the
efforts of all are backed up by a sprightly
| and pretty bunch Of chorus girls ranging
all the way from the midget to the tall
and statuesque. Everyone is expected TO
| do something to help the show along, and
each seems to be trying to make good.
| So, then, the "Runaways' is all that has
been promised for it, and is worth a visit
to the Krug during the stay Of the COM
| pany at the theater.
Last night the opening Of the piece was
| delayed until almost 10 o'clock, waiting
! for the passage of the parade. When the
show did start it was TO a packed house
and the enjoyment was surely a tribute
to the efforts of the company. 1t is not
likely that a better pleased audience evel

The action of the board is regarded as a
severe blow to Mr., Ramsey. since he and
Mr.. Delano have not been on any better
terms than Ramsey and George Gould.
Ramsey recently sent a most severe and
acrimonious letter to Delano on the subject
OF the latter's statements to the press
about what he had done as vice president
Of the Wabash. The interviews credited to
Delano did not come to the attention of
Ramsey until he had reached the northern
part of Europe on his recent tour abroad.
The tone Of the letter. however might
have indicated that he had struck the ex-
IRENE southern part Of the continent. for 1t
dealt with Mr.. Delano without gloves,
taking him to task severely for laying
claim to Improvements and changes of
policy which Ramsey said were his own
and not Delano's. Ramsey expressed sur
prise and disgust that a man in Delano's
Official position should be so undiplomatic
and undignified as to seek to claim credit
for something he had not done or trespass
upon the sacred functions of the president
Of vast railroad corporation. 1t is not a
matter Of record, the circumstances under
which Mr.. Deano and Mr. Ramsey en-
braced each other on the latter's return
from Europe.
The estrangement Of relations between
Gould and Ramsey is traced back to the
latters aggressive-and successful-policy
in the matter of the Pittsburg terminals
establishment. Mr.. Gould failed to endorse
certain things which Mr. Ramsey did and
the two steadily grew apart until the meet
| ing of the board of directors last spring
brought the climax 1t came in the form
/ of an emphatic request or demand from
George ]. Gould that the board peremp-
| torily call for the immediate resignation Of
| President Ramsey. This the board failed
to dc and from it's refusal originated the
! report that Ramsey had more friends on
| triumph in the final issue.
| Somewhat as a compromise measure.
| however, the board did ask President
/ Ramsey TO take temporary leave of alb
sence, absenting himself until October l.
| Ramsey took his vacation in Europe, re-
| turning 20 New York about the middle of
| September. He and Gould had Offices ad-
Joining each other. The day after Ram
sey's return both men were in their offices,
but they never spoke as they passed by
Mr. Ramsey expressed the belief after his
! return that he would be able to secure
himself by controlling a majority of the
votes OF the security holders. 1t had been
| thought that in the event of Ramsey S
! failure TO land, Gould himself would be
made president It is a matter Of question.
therefore, wheter Delanos selection is TO be
considered the ''unkindest cut OF all" or a
compromise in Difference to Ramsey.
