Omaha daily bee., 1906-04-29

Omaha, mainly OF the ingenue variety. but
with such nice taste and discrimination as
to make her a prime favorite.
Mr.. ]. sedley Brown and his wife, Miss
Carrie Clarke Ward, were not so well
known in Omaha, having been here but
a short time, but since their advent they
have made many warm friends outside the
stage life. Mr.. Brown lie one OF the best
known stage directors in the country and
his wife Is a character actor OF ability.
They, too. win be much missed.

in symmetry of phrase in sustained grace,
in authority and In command Of the most
dificult technicalities of his instrument

frenzy of acclaim.
