But the above will he sufficient.

The point which is pressing Itself to the
attention, in all that has preceded this
statement. is that the musical people have
no monopoly on this difference OF opinion.
This column contained some sentiments
on this line last Sunday morning, DuJ il
was only touched in passing, ana the OBJ
ject now Of reviving the subject is to make
one last appeal TO the thinking people-for
there is nc salvation in the others-as 70
the unfairness of the usual cry that the
musicians should get together"
II has always occurred to the writer Of
this sabbatical offering called the music
column OF The Bee, that the remark found
its origin i'm the careless thoughts of uu-
musical or u~nsympatEetic outsiders who
did not care for music. But as the SHOWS
of winter begin TO throw their first faint
flakes among the hairs of The writer's
head. as the years go quickly by and one
sees fathers whom he knew as children, m
other words as The Bees musical recorder
grows more reflective, he believes that
this remark originates amongst musicians
OF d certain jealous class, musicians vino
do nothing in public work themselves and
yet who are very eloquent in their opin-
ions of what others do.
IL is almost certain that the modus
operandi is something like this. Musicians
who are working earnestly, seriously, con-
sclentiously, have no time for anything eX-
cept that kind OF work, and their interests
are absolutely along that line.
Then along comes a musician VINO wants

which has clearly laid plans that are inter-
national in scope. Entertainment in every

orders for c~ameraphones having come from

But this Is only the beginning. Camera
phone has spoken for Itself in leading
theaters, such as the Grand opera house
and the Harlem theaters in New York,

NortoiK. the Cameraphone tn"ater at 1903
Douglas street i'm Omaha and scores of
other thcaters. I'm all places the camera
phone has been the sole attraction, the only
"headliner" when used, and IN all cases for
long engagements. In Denver, a few Sun
days ago, 1l.1OO persons attended the cam
eraphone performances in one day, and in
the smaller city Of Paducah, Ky, the Sat
urday previous, goo persons attended.
while the Csmeraphone theater in Omaha
has shown to 1000 persons In one day.
1t is obvious that the show use of the
Camcraphone is launched as a permanent
revolution in the show business. When
many cities are literally suffering for a
lack OF good bookings the C"ameraphonc
theaters. for an admission price of only
10 cents and 3 cents for children, will
show the productions making the big hits
in New York and London. At this theater
all tastes are supplied with all forms of
stage entertainment.
Imagine not only the best stage enter
tainment Of today being made available
to Omaha as quickly as New York, but
the same principle being applied to educa-
tiunal aims, religion, science, etc. and all
being made permanent history to give the
generations hence a glimpse Of life today.
