Whatever Of good has been said Of THE
Prince of Pilsen' in the past by The Bee is
hereby heartily endorsed. The days that
have passed since last It was seen here, and
they are the full tale of two years and
some over have In nowise stalled the variety
/ nor withered the bloom of this most de-
lightful OF the delectahle output Of that In
! dustrious firm Of musical producers, Messrs.
! IlAitg q LuutEs IL dpOuIluS as Du OAueI
does with the light and catchy music, with
| the witty sayings, the songs Of genuine
sentiment. and the funny situations. Direc-
tor Savage keeps It fresh by adding or
/ altering the bits of color in its decora ton,
and has preserved it's worth by keeping toe
| gether as far as possible the company that
| made 1t first a success. Such changes as
have been made in the personnel Of the
| company have not in the least affected the
excellence Of the production.
Jess Dandy is irresistible as Hans wag-
ner, and is singing a new topical song
Imagination" which is really more enjoy
able than his famous dltty about 1.-THE
Dutch" He is simply Jess Dandy, and
that's as much as any German dialect
comedian ought ever to hope to be- Arthur
Donaldson sings the role Of the real prince
Of Pilsen, as he has from the first perform
ance, with splendid taste. His beautiful
voice is always a delight. Mr. Anderson
has a splendid baritone and sings 1.-THE
Message of the Violet" capitally, later lead.
ing a male chorus with much vigor Mr.
den-Clsrendon quite realizes all there
is In the Artie part.
Ruth PEBBLES still sings with delicious
sweetness, her pure. clear voice ringint
true in every note. Marie WEIGH, who ha
the Nellie Wagner music to sing this sea
son. Is new to Omaha, but last nights sam
pie is sure to make the public long 70
more. She is petite pretty and very mucl
at home In the role Her voice is strong
clear and under excellent control He
part in '"The Tale of the Sea Shells" wa
done most oharmingly. Louise Willis
, stately but not statuesque, is widow
, sufficiently frisky to satisfy the most ex
, acting, and was much admired on her frs
appearance here in the role.
! The choruses are good, the midgets ar
lively and the ensemble work is splendid
1.-THE Song of the Cities" was rendere
: with snap and vigor that won many re
calls, and THE Stein Song and "Heidle
berg were never given better. All in al
the performance was most enjoyable an
the large audience present at the Boyd las
night was very appreciative. So much S
that the show was prolonged by encore
until some time after II o'clock
= Four more performances of 1.-The Prime
of Pilsen" will be given, the managemer
L having decided to extend the engagemer
. over Sunday evening". A matinee will b
:. given on Saturday afternoon.
