GENIUS OF DRAMA
AT TIE VAN NESS
David Warfield Comes in Klein's
Tender and Effective
"Music Master"

For the next two weeks. beginning
tomorrow night, at the Van Ness thea
ter, David Warfield and the company
originally selected by David Belasco
will act the tender human comedy
drama, The Music Master, which
Warfield played here last season. The
only matinee of the week will be
played on Saturday.
On the stage and in the world of
art knowledge is given of things ar
tistic in every way, that have been
approved by critic and admired by con-
noisseur, but which have remained un
noticed, or at least unappreciated, by
the intelligent though uncultiyated
public" On the other hand there is
no record of any work in drama, in
acting, in literature or the other arts
that has won lasting popularity unless
1t possessed the elements of artistic
genius. In other words, the public
approves art without appreciating it's
essentials 1t enjoys without analyzing.
The art that is universally enjoyed is
that which strikes big notes of hu-
manity and hope. Here IS the ex-
planation of the great popular success
David Warfield has won in The Music
Master"
First of all, it must be admitted
that this play by Charles Klein would
be impossible without the great art
of Warfield, and there is no other
Warfeld than the David who is at
present making millions of American
play goers laugh and weep in this
play, The Music Master" 1t is Klein's
essage-or perhaps it is Belasco's-
that holds the public's ear, but it is
Warfeld's rare art-real, undisputed
genius-that wrings its heart.
Although The Music Master is ele-
mental in its emotional appeal, un-
clouded by subtle psychological mist.
Warfield's art is so perfect and noble
that the play, with its technical faults,
passes unscathed the critical scrutiny
of the cultivated eye. That The Music
Master" has such a wide appeal is due
solely to David Warfield's genius. His
creation of Won Barwig, the central
character of the play, is so harmonious,
so. delicate, that he has vitalized the
play and sent its message with direct
ness to every person who possesses a
mind and heart 1t is David Warfield
who has made The Music Master" the
most successful play of the century.
1t is he who has made the play ac-
ceptable to college professor and school
janitor, to dramatic critic and to un-
cultivated play goer. The Music Mas
ter" has met with unprecedented sue
cess because its appeal is as wide and
far reaching as an old time love song.

WIRELESS IS USED
TO CAPTURE STAR
Alice Lloyd Accepts Beck's Of
fer of Big Salary While
on Deep Blue Sea

In addition to the splendid road show,
which enters it's second and final week,
the Orpheum will offer today two fea-
lures of extraordinary interest-Alice
Lloyd, the famous English singing
comedienne, and the McNaughtons-
both of which acts will be entirely new
to this city.
The success of Alice Lloyd for the
last three seasons in New York has
been sensational, and her engagement
for the Orpheum circuit is one of Mar
tin Beck>s proudest achievements. He
learned, when Miss Lloyd was coming
to this country, that she was not alto
gether pleased with the vehicle which
prominent firm of theatrical produc-
ers had secured for her to star in, and
he communicated with her by wireless
She answered from midocean and ac-
cepted what is said to. be the largest
salary ever paid TO an. artist in vaude-
VILE. AS an entertainer, the critical
opinion of New York his it Miss Lloyd
is uneXcelled.
The McNaughtons are also from
American appearance. They are de-
scribed as ori riginal and laugh proyolS-
ing comedians, unique in their methods

"IN AFRICA" PLEASES
PRINCESS PATRONS
New KoIb and Dill Show Proves
Lively Entertainment

The new Kolb and Dill show, "In
Africa" at the Princess theater is max
ing a hit. In it's present. form the
Aaron Hoffman musical comedy is in
for run. and the travesty on Roose-
velts hunting trip in Africa is draw
ing large and pleased audiences at
every performance.
KoIb and Dill as Gottlieb Tannhau-
ser and Karl Roozevelt, respectively,
have very funny roles as the two
Crooks" tourists. Their arrival at
Mombasa on the very day that Roose-
velt and his son Kermit are expected
leads to a case Of mistaken identity
in which the comical characters of the
German comedians are contrasted with
the personalities of the distinguished
American and his son. Maude Lillian
Berri. the prima donna, has a vivacious
role S Mrs. Allie Money, and the other
members of the excellent cast are
placed to advantage in the lively mu-
sical comedy.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Mortgages offered by City Savings
Bank Are in Much Demand.
SURPLUS OF MONEY IN OMAHA
All Seeking Investment in Property
or Good City Mortgages and Ac-
cumuIates In vaults of Loan
and Savings Associations.

Some idea Of the amount of money walt
ing for investment in Omaha may be
cleaned from the fact that Just a week
ago The Bee announced in a news story
exclusively that in the making of the
"City National bank" from the City Saw
ings bank, the real estate mortgages of the
institution would be offered for sale. Within
a few days applications were received from
Omahan for more than half the mort
cages held by the institution. The banG
holds some high-class securities and the
many buyers is a good index to the market
in Omeha for ready money to be invested
In mortgages on city property.
Another showing Of the surplus awaiting
investment is made in the report Of one
of the building and loan associations. Only
a little more than a year age, when the
so-called panic" squeezed a number Of
people. \the association had contracted
100000 in loans and was applying its de-
posits on this amount to furnish money
for builders. 1t had to cut down OIL new
business and make very few loans for a
few months, in order to supply the cash
to those loans already contracted. In its
last report a surplus OF something like
s25O,OOO is shown and loans are being made
rapidly. Thus in a little more than a year
the $4,000 contracted was handled salts
f~actorily and $25O,OOO placed in the surplus
without stopping for a day the number Of
loans being applied for to erect new homes.
This means the association has gained
$500, 600 in actual deposits, besides handling
current business.

the uoors, 10 WnlCn are arched, to CORE
spond with the main entrance.
Farther west. on Woolworth avenue. is
the new residence of E. A. Henrichs of the
Omaha Crockery company, in which is used
a striking combination OF buff face paving
brick and very dark-stained shingles. A
broad chimney climbs up the confer of the
front wall OF the house and massive porch
piers, built of the same brick, give the APP
p~earance of great solidity and strength.
This house will cost about $4,000.
One of the most sitely building locations
In the Field club district is that recently
bought by r. E. Sunderland OF Sunderland
Bros, company, at the northwest corner OF
rhirty-seventh and Pacific. A fine brick
residence will be built on this site.
The property adjoining the Sunderland
lots on the west and lying east OF the beau
utul new residence of Mrs. Z. L, Stone.
is about to become the site for another
$4,000 residence. This block overIooks the
Field club from the north and commands
a view in all directions of from five to ten
miles. The paving of Thirty-eighth street.
Thirty-eighth avenue and Pacific street.
now under contract, will do much to bring
this district into prominence.
The substantial prosperity OF Omaha is
In no way better indicated than through
the fine residences being built by its bust

Shore company a permit to build
a sluiceway under the N. p.
