must enjoy. II has so much what they call
fat" so many striking lines, so many bits
of laughter-making business. Every rich
opportunity thus afforded Mr.. Bacon he
seized with avidity but never overzealously,
and with the result that he brought onto
the stage Of the Burwood such a man as
the author must have conjured up IN his
own minds eye when he wrote the part.
Given a role with almost no striking lines,
a character in fact which while almost con-
stantly on stage has but few lines at all, a
part quite the antithesls in this respect ot
the title role, and It must be observed that
Miss Elliott as Lucy White. the secretary
Of the sbsent-minded professor. has a part
affording a crucial test Of her ability to
act.
The result Of this test is tina Miss Elliot
sends across the footlights the convincing
impression of a we'll defined. finely shaded,
thoroughly rounded and developed charac-
terization. while her success is i'm
portant to the success of the comedy, yet
II Is chiefly interesting as furnishing a
beautiful illustration Of the fact that acting
is vastly different i'm nature from elocution,
that a good actor can create a character
of extreme significance and meaning even
IL situated In as in the present case with
out eloquent lines and impressive bust
ness"
A third big success in the play is that
OF Lloyd Ingraham as the professors phy-
sican and friend and is of interest as ar
fording another instance of his versatility.
Two feminine roles, the dowager Lady
Gliding and Prof. Goodwillie's sister,
are played by Pearl stearns and edith
Spencer, respectively. The first has an
easier task. for the role is a humorous one.
from which Miss Stearns extracted a full
measure of comedy the second is an I'M
sympathetic part, though the sisters
change of attitude at the close toward the
marriage Of her brother and his secretary,
redeems her in the eyes OF spectators at
the close. Miss Spencer succeeded in spite
of this handicap in gaining the interest
and attention of her audience.
William Grew and Alice Myers appear
as Sir George and Lady Gliding and con-
tribute much to the humor Of the evening.
Hostile criticism of others acting would
be captious.
There are several low comedy characters,
John Todd and Edward Clisbee, as two
Scotch laborers, created much amusement
and besides playing excellently, handled a
difficult dialect without flaw, as did Jane
Jeffery. as the housekeeper, an important
minor role. ]. Lane Conner has the only
other speaking part. that of a young phys.
ician, and he maintained the high standard
set by his fellows. Lloyd Francis and Ed
ward Kauffer are allotted the hankles'
roles of liveried servants and carried two
lunch baskets with skill. which was al
they had a chance to do.

Vaudeville at the Urpheum.

The tramp is a familiar figure In litera-
ture. He has been a life-saver for the
comic artists and has proven for humorists
a mine in which the paystreak does not
run out. Even more frequently, he has
been exploited on the stage than by the
jokesmith and the illustrator. Seven of
him are much in evidence at the Orpheum
this week. appearing in a satire on vaga-
bonds presented by Jesse l.. Lasky. who
was the producer of the might on a
| Household act, which was the headliner
at the Orpheun the week just over.
There is no attempt at a plot in the
comedy and the action is simply supposed
TO be an hours excerpt from a day in the
career, or, more correctly. the total lack
OF a career, of the seven hoboes. The
septet are true enough to life with one
exception: They are somewhat more gifted
than any seven sturdy beggars," as
tramps are called in England. or the
musical numbers one song represents the
vagrant dreaming of himself as a corsair
bold. and this recalls to mind the Pirate
King" solo in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pi-
rates of Penzance." The whole sketch
may be dismissed with the statement that
IL has something of the flavor of the
greatest expression of the spirit Of the
vagabond in all l~iterature-the ''beggars'
tavern chorus" in Goethe's Faust"
Three talented women are a feature OF
the weeks bill-Amelie Summerville, Janet
Melville and Evie Stetson. The first
named is famous as a comcdienne, but has
never been seen in Omaha before. She
gives q monologue and songs which include
several bits" which for lack of n bet
ter name may be called limitations, al
though they are really reproductions of
characters and personalities, to which an
original turn is given by the performers
own individuality. When a history of
vaudeville is written, Janet Mellville's ca
reer will have considerable space, for she
has been immensely successful In variety
for many years. She still retains and long
will keep the laurels won some time ago
by her topical songs and dialect imita-
tons. Miss Stetson's dialect work, 1t must
be added, is of an exceedingly high order.
and she makes an admirable companion
for the other.
A dramatic novelty called "a Story OF
the Street" was enacted by Madge Hughes
and Tom Barry. It's a study OF Bowery
and stage life, with an obvious moral as
to the danger of putting on airs wher
temporary success comes. Barry and Miss
Hughes are both clever and the audience
liked the skit we'll. .
Frank McCrea opened the program with
feats of Workmanship which are thrilling
for accuracy and novelty. His shooting
at two targets with two guns represents
an achievement in double optical focusinl
which is simply amazing. particularly wher
one of the targets simultaneously aimed
at and hit, is in rapid motion.
Paul La Croix added much comedy e
