Ills week will see the close Of
" the summer engagement Of the
woodward Stock company at
- the Boyd theater. Manager
ANE4N Woodward will then have re-
- deemed the promise he made
when he brought his company to
omaha from Kansas City in May.
Ihat was. that he would give seven
standard plays, some Of which had never
been seen in Omaha, and give them in a
manner hat would leave nothing to be
asked. As a stock producer Mr.. Woodward
has long been in a class by himself. He
thoroughly understands the business. and
he does not stint in providing for the plays
he offers. Each Of the series he presented
at the Boyd during the present season has
been on a scale elaborate even to lavish
ness. and the general commen has been
that they have equaied the productions OF
the high-class travelling companies that
come during the regular season. In offer
ing a $50 show for 25 cents, Mr.. Wood
ward has made no apology; he has simply
said he wanted to do the right thing, and
let II go at that. The company he put
together is the best that ever played a
summer engagement IN Omaha. Most of
its members we're already established in
favor here. and the aggregation has been
more than successful, from an artistic
standpoint. The season was limited to
seven weeks because Of the fact that al
most everyone Of the company has been
steadily employed since last August, 9nd

interest in this form of amusement is con

nights by offering the very latest OF films,

The Hillman Stock company playing at
the Summer theater at the corner of
Eighteenth and Douglas streets was visited
by the usual large crowds the last week
in spite of the Indictment weather. The
offering this week will be a four-act
comedy drama by Colonel ]. f. Milliken,
entitled THE Burglars Wife" The play
is one Of the very latest New York sue
cesses in the way of melodramas. The
English servant lofts and The hen-pecked
husband, Dolly Rockingham, furnish
abundance of comedy, while the character
OF Adele Warner, the burglars wife, around
which the principal Of the play %centers,
tells a simple and pathetic story OF a much
wronged woman, in her girlhood she was
persuaded by her parents to marry Hugh
Redburn, a desperate character. Leaving
him she enters the employ of Sir Edward
Lawson as a governess and obtains, as
she thinks, positive proof Of her husbands
death. She then becomes engaged to
Sidney Lawson, Sir Edwards nephew.
While walking in her sleep she is dis
covered by Redburn, who has come to rob
the house. Redburn is shot and killed by
one Of his pals and Adele is accused Of his
murder.
