auaintance and was married directly at a
convenient registry office. She was a re-
markedly beautiful girl, with a stunning
figure and almost six feet in height, and the
general opinion seemed TO be that the noble
lord. whose estates were heavily mort
gagged. got the better Of the bargain.
whether or not there is any truth in the
report II is hard to say. 1 know as a mat
ter of fact that the ex-show girl has been
very happy with her husband. She Is very
little in London, the couple spending most
Of their time or their Irish estate. Gladys
Darlington, a sister OF Lady de Clifford,
who lie now appearing as one OF the show
girls in The Merry Widow" at Days
theater. tells me that she is quite certain
that her sister will never return to the
theater, although she was very fond Of the
life before her marriage. However, you
never can tell.
Ada Reeve, who Is managing her own
company at the Apollo theater, where she

Starting this evening. the Burwood
theater will offer what is probably the
most novel entertainment ever presented
In Omaha. 1t will consist Of a lengthy
program of moving pictures, which will
be here shown for the first time in Omaha,
illustrated songs sung by the powerful
electrical driven auxetophone, and by all
mearJs the most wonderful feature of all,
the marvellous synchroscope. a delicate
German contrivance that controls the pie
lures and songs, permitting the auditor to
hear and seen at one and the same time
all of the worlds most noted vocalists-
the same in conjunction with the regular
entertainment, which is to be run con-
%tinuously every day all summer from l to
5 in the afternoon and from Z to IL every
evening. The entire program will be COM
pletely changed every Thursday and Sun
day. and one may drop in at any time ard
stay as long as desired, or only through
one rendition OF the excellent programs
that have been prepared. 1t is understood
that the equipment for producing this
extremely novel entertainment is the most
elaborate and costly ever brought to
Omaha. In New York City, where the
synchroscope slnging-talking pictures were
but recently introduced in three of the
largest theaters, so great is their vogue
that the theaters are crowded day and
night. The exclusive rights for Omaha
for this machine have been secured by the
Burwood theater, and so great is the con.
fidence of the Burwood theater in thi:
plan Of summer entertainment and so de.
sirous is the management of having al

Or were you interested in psychology.
Here you have a great opportunity. Ber-
lioz is one of the teachers, he who said;
Music is at once the product of feeling
and knowledge, for IT requires from its
disciples, composers and performers alike,
not only talent and enthusiasm. but also
that knowledge and perception which are
the result OF protracted study and reflec-
tion.' Another teacher, schumann by
name, says: Music is the outflow OF h
beautiful mind" oliver Werdall Holmes,
a visiting lecturer, once said: "By music
we reach those special states OF conscious
ness which, being without form, cannot be
shaped with the mosaics Of the vocabu-
larry" Schumann again says; 1T is the
artists lofty mission to shed light on the
human soul"

over at the Boyd the Woodward Stock
company will offer this week another of
those comedies Of manners that have made
the modern playwright famous above his
class. THE Mummy and the Humming
Bird" Is a conception that tells sn interest
ing story Of modern life in a way that is
almost daring. Lord Lumley. first played
in this country by John Drew and to be
played this week by Mr.. Morrison, is a
fine English gentleman, who is more in
terested In his scientific pursuits than he
is in society. His wife, to be played by
Miss Fleming, is deeply concerned In So
ciety and thinks her husband neglects her.
This Is the mummy and the humming bird.
Enter an Italian adventurer. pretending to
be a baron; he succeeds in flattering the
wife into forgetfulness Of her duty and
inveigles her to his rooms. The husband
rescues her and then the pair plan to
elope and do. Here comes another Italian,
an organgrinder. who can speak no word
Of English. He is carrying on a little prl-
vate quest for vengeance in his innocent
italian way and tracks his quarry to the
home Of Lord Lumley. 1t proves to be
the pseudo nobleman. Lord Lumley can
speak no word Of Italian, but the organ

mine, manages to give the mummy knowl.
edge of the elopement and the location of
the couple in Paris. Thither the husband
goes. and the villain is set free, with the
sleuth of vengeance just behind him. The
situations are always interesting and at
times are tense. Mr.. Frank Beamish. who
succeeds Mr.. Paul in the company, will
have the role Of the italian organgrinder
and Mr.. Denithorne that of the adven-
turer. Mr.. Livingstone has provided a
splendid setting for the four acts and calls
attention to the fact that the fourth act
has two scenes, a dark change taking
place. The piece will be offered first at a
matinee this afternoon and each evening
during the week, with other matinees on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Music and Musical Notes

And in all universities the two chairs
belong side by side. but alas! they are
too often back to back!

iceable to poor suffering humanity, 1 have
never required anything beyond the heart

But perhaps you want to study higher
mathematics in your postgraduate days.
In the University of Music there is a de-
partlnent of mathematics which is presided
over by the incompatible masters, Bach
and Helmholtz, and other bright lights.
Study with unceasing zeal the scales and
modes: what do you know that will COM
pare in results with the efforts put forth
in mastering the Mixolydian Mode, the
Lydian, the Aeolian, the Phrygian? Study

Flood at Kansas City.

Kansas City.-All calculations of the
weather bureau and river experts as
to the duration and extent OF the flood
at the junction of the kaw and Mis-
souri, rivers were upset "Wednesday
by the continued rise Of the Missouri
river. due to heavy rains in Dakota
and Nebraska. At 5 p. m. the Missouri
river was 27.2 feet above low water, n
rise Of twotenths since noon.
There will be steady rise in the
Missouri for the next twenty-f four hours
and the river will probably go to 27h
or 2S feet. 1t will then remain sta.
tionary for twenty-four hours. Then
under the influence OF the recedinG
Kaw. the river will fall slowly.
At 5 p. m. the kaw river at the stock
yards was 27.S above low water. a rise
OF fourtenths for the day. This rise
is due to the dammine Of the river
just below the stock yards by the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Union Pacific
bridges, which have accumulated a
vast amount of driftwood. The kaw
at it's mouth Is stationary, and NJ Bon
ner Springs. Kansas. fifteen miles
west is falling.
The flood Wednesday was highly
spectacular. viewed from the bluffs OF
Kansas City. On the Clay county banl,
Of the Missouri the little village OF
Harlem WAS entirely surrounded by
water and the river was flowing a mile
wide behind the village over corn
fields.
