leaves to take charge Of a summer stock
company which will play during the heated
months at Minneapolis. This company Is
to be under the management Of Dick Fer
ris, and Florence Stone will be the leading
woman. Carrie Clarke Ward goes with
her husband Mr.. Cecil owen and Miss
Dollie Davis leave for the east this after
noon. They expect TO spend the summer
at Detroit as members OF the Holden
Stock company Mr. Grant Simpson also
leaves the company to accept an engage
ment with a summer stock company These
engagements had TO he accepted at once
or not at all, which accounts for the
changes now. Manager Woodward has
supplied his company by adding TO It's
membership Miss Rose Curry. a woman of
much ability; Mr.. George saren, Mr.. Stuart
Beebe and Mr.. VIII Davis. Mr.. Davis was
a member Of the original woodward Stock
company at the Creighton theater, and Is
coming back to his own. Mr. saren has
been with the Arnold Daily forces, and
Mr. Beebe is a well known stock actor.
-
1t is not without some regret that Omaha
says goodbye to Mr.. Cecil owen and his
excellent wife. Miss Dollie Davis. This
pair of Woodworking and conscientious
actors have established themselves firmly
with a circle of friends in Omaha, who
will feel a personal sense Of loss in their
departure. while the public who simply
knows them over the footlights will miss
them greatly. Mr. owen came to Omaha
first some four seasons ago to play with
the Ferris Summer Stock company at the
Boyd and was not long in making his
presence felt in the cast. His work has
always been Of a high standard, and, no
matter how Objectionable the part might
have seemed he has always given It his
best endeavor II is simple justice 10 say of
him that in all the long list of roles he has
assumed during his time in Omaha the
aters not one has ever been sighted in the
least. On the other hand, he has given
to each such touches of individuality as to
make It stand out clear and distinct. He
never sought to impress the public with
the personality OF owen. but has with rare
artistic fidelity lost himself in the char
acter he was supposed to represent, and
has given II Interpretation so intelligent
and convincing as to stamp II as a crea-
ton. It is this quality of the true artist
that has made Mr.. Owen so popular an
actor and which is certain to win for him
an even wider recognition. Miss Davis has
also played a wide range Of parts in

A backward glance at the season IN
Omaha is in a measure encouraging for

could afford It has been notable though
for the lack Of interest displayed at times
Even Richard Mansfield failed to draw the
audiences as he used to. II would be a
waste of time TO offer excuses for this state
Of affairs. The simple truth Is that the
people did not go to the theater. The Bur
wood has done and is still doing a big
business; the patronage at the Orpheum
was the best that house has enjoyed since
II was devoted to vaudeville and the Krug
has broken some house records. Tho
Boyd has been the only sufferer. Messrs
Woodward g. Burgess are in nowise dis
couraged by this condition, though, and
during the summer they propose to have
the house thoroughly renovated and fitted
up. The frescoing will be done over, the
boxes win be fitted up anew, and the
whole house will be reseated, 80 that when
time to open for next season comes It
will be practically a new theater 10 which
the public will be invited. In the mean

have theater open next season II It can
be accomplished. Other theaters will be
rushed through, and the effect on next
