Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-12

WhlC was seen at the SOiOnlOl luSdleT,
Chicago, and the Knickerbocker theater in
New York City.
One of the very best extravaganza COM
panies on the road this season is the now
famous Rose Hill English Folly company,
which comes to the Gayety theater Cor
merly Burwood) for six days starting this
afternoon. The organization contains
everything new and bright and is most
delightfully."- different from any similar
company. The performance is in three
acts and a most attractive tone is given
to each act by a chorus of twenty-four very
attractive girls, in addition to which the
company also carries a large male chorus
which is something out Of the ordinary for
attractions OF this style. The skit of
MADAM Ticklem's Seminary tells an
amusing story Of the many complications
that arise from the efforts OF two young
men to carry on a little harmless Irritation
with two young lady scholars and Of the
efforts Of two servants to stop them.
Humorous specialties are introduced by
such and capable artists as
George w. Rice, the quaint comedian; T.
F. Thomas, John z. Cain, Van Bros,
Pasquale Mario, the Italian tenor; James
Bogard, George Britt, Idyl'a Vyner, Blanche
Newcomb, Henrietta Wheeler, Mile. Bea-
| trice, Brownie Carroll, Mile, Vanita, Nina
York and others. There will be a ladies'
dime matinee, starting tomorrow.
