At the Theaters


Behtnan show at the CHyety.
The Gayrty. nee Burwood. was died
two times sunday by folks who enjoye'
the now line OF entertainment and gave
most audible expression OF their approval.
The evening was made notable by a few
words from MAYOR DanlrNan, who en-
dorsed the new departure. and gave as one
plank In his platform that lie likes to sec
folks have a good time, so long as the
entertainment IL clean and means no harm.
As to the quality Of the entertainment al
forded, Il meets with the specifications
laid down BY the mayor. u Is clean, never
coarse. has nothing that might be CON
strued as offensive. and bubbles over with
fun Of a jolly. no]nsensical sort. The cos
tunes are bright and clean, and are
chosen with good taste; the girls are OF
all sorts and conditions as 70 size and age
and personal appearance, but all are work
ers and each can do something. And the
comedians are clever, so that the wnoie
is deserving the patronage asked for IL
II the first days experience is to be taken
as evidence, the new departure at the
Gayety will prove a success. Twelve per
formances a week will be given, the com
pany closing on Friday night in order to
make the jump to Minneapolis, the next
coming Oh lIuIN NAalobo SNs I" s ~
open on Sunday evening.
Margaret King and Lon Hascall lead the
forces, Miss King singing a number OF
songs and closing the first act by a SEN
s~ational flight over the audience in an afr-
ship. william J. Kennedy is the chief OF
the funmakers, and his work as the "rube'
detective is as good OF the sort as anyone
needs care to see. Many ensemble num-
hers and general chorus work are afforded.
The vaudeville features are Of high order.
The Courtney sisters made a big hit last
night with their songs, one having a bass
voice, and the other a strong contralto.
The Seven Belfords are remarkable aero
bats, one Of the boys especially capturing
the spectators by his somersault turning.
He turns twice over, after leaping from
the shoulders OF another. and alights on
the same shoulders. This is his most diff
ficult feat, but he does a number almost
as startling during the turn. George Arm
strong also scored heavily with his songs
and stories.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-07
vaudeville at the Orpheum.

Sonora Rosario Guerrero, the Spanish
actress, comes to Omaha in the course of
a tour in which she has gained much
fame. It was bound to be thus, for the
Woman's physical beauty would make Her
talked about were she not in addition an
actress Of great ability. She, with a fellow
countryman, signor L'Paglieri, is giving
the most novel sketch of the season at the
Orpheum. It is a terrific little pantomime
illustrating the Requirement of a bandit by
a dancer who happens into his lonely hut.
First robbery, and then worse, are the
bandits desires. In the one he is defeated
by his own amazement at the sudden
revelation of the woman's beauty; in the
second, by her securing. after much clever
Cabling, his knife-with which she stabs
him. There is no spoken word in the
sketch and 1t tests, as pantomime always
does, the ability Of the actors to tell what
they are thinking and feeling without say
ing 1t. Sonora Guerrero is wonderfully
alluring In a physical way and the capti-
waiting of the bandit seems perfectly reason
able.
Jointly headlined with this exotic is the
musical comedy AT the Country Club an
offering OF Jesse L. Lasky, who is a
! Nduu6Nnl6 pTOQuCeT ALMOST WITHOUT T1NAL
Those who remember 1.-THE Night on the
House Boat" and The P~ianophiends' will
testify to this, and the present offering is
better than either of those. Country club
atmosphere is reproduced with delightful
fidelity and the players and singers in
nowise tend to destroy the illusion, but
rather to vivify it.
In the leading roles are Jarvis Jocelyn,
Frank o. Thornton, Ben Mulvey and Miss
Eulalie Jensen, all OF whom are altogether
excellent. Miss Jensen does some inimit-
ably clever burlesquing' of the conven-
lions of melodrama, grand opera and aero
battles. She is a young woman, with all
the more frequently met charms of appear
ance, and has besides an ~unrivalled car
riage. Mr., Mulvey has the chief comedy
part and is genuinely and legitimately
funny. Mr.. Thornton sings with a wonder
fully sweet voice a lovely song, Beautiful
Garden of Roses" and Mr.. Jocelyn also
sings well and plays the plano in addition.
There is a chorus of fout clean cut young
men, all of whom can sing, and four pretty
and dashing girls, Misses Wynn. zimme-
man, Hall and Crane.
Besides these two acts Sansone and
Della, novelty gymnasts, are worthy OF
the highest praise, the pair being dis,
tinguished by disdain Of calling the audi.
ence's attention to how difficult are their
feats, and some OF their feats are amazing
The bill also includes Signor Luciano
Lueca, an Italian tenor, who sings also
in a wellnigh perfect falsetto; Eddie j
Ross, a dancing b%anioist, who met an ex.
tremely popular reception; Cunningham and
Marion, comedy acrobats, and Les Myo.
sotis, two premiere dancers from the balet
of the Royal opera at Munich.

Grace King in the role Of Miss Sad G

about whose wooing the tale so much de-

youth about all the actors involved In tho
principal plot. Richard Bartlett as Joe
Westeott, the college boy just home 10

but not so good as Dan Bruce. who takes
the part Of Dave Harrlgan, thu unscrupu-

STRANGE LIGHT IN CLOUDS.
Crew of Steamship Disa Were Greatly
Alarmed at Terrifying Spectacle.

Galveston, Tex. Oct. 29.-The
steamship Disa of the Southern
Steamship Company, Capt r. 1ngvars-
ton, just in from F'rOntera, Mexico,
reports having witnessed an awe-in-
spring and terrifying phenomenon
when about $50 miles north of the
Mexican coast in the Gulf of Mexico,
on Oct u.
About P. NJ. storm clouds made
the day dark as night. \ half-mi'e
ahead appeared wide band of fire or
light extending from sky to water ana
about quarter of Il mile wide. In the
heavens the light reflected the noun
tain of surging black clouds while the
sea boiled.
The crew begged the captain to turn
back and all stood paralyZed by fright
as the vessel entered the brilliantly il
Illuminated area. 1t was light enough
to read a paper on deck and the sea
was a dead calm, while the water was
boiling hot. The fire point was mark
ed as clear as well. Immediately on
passing beyond it the vessel entered
raging sea and the water cold. Lee
ander Scheller, professor of science of
Newmark University, Germany was a
passenger on the Dsa, but he could
not solve the phenomenon. The light
held for about thirty minutes.
