In the vaudeville world there Is as much
f~ruitlsss gossip about changes and combi-
nations as there is in the dull winter time
OF trades OF and changes among the ball
players. Mr., Beck is to invade the east.
He Is not. He is TO form an alliance with
William Norris. He will do no such thing.
Percy Williams and the Keiths are to
make a foray upon Chicago and have a
theater there. They will not leave the
east. For every rumor there Is a prompt
denial and 50 far as actual news is con-
oerned the mountains are again I'm travail
and a mouse is once more born.
What has happened. and which seems to
have been the occasion OF ali the talk, Is
that Martin Beck had an interest in a new
theater which viii be erected In New York
City and In which he at one time thought
OF making an Orpheum music hall This he
rave up and Il will be operated by the
cohAn a Harris company. with Mr.. Beck
retaining some stock in the venture, which
viii not be a vaudeville theater. So much
for the Invasion OF the east and the in
vasion OF the west about which so much
has been written and disseminated, not by
Beck, but in various theatrical papers.

Jules Muny's newest dramatic production.
via Wireless which has just finished
a six months successful run in New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago. comes to the
Boyd tonight and Monday.
via Wireless" was originally produced
at the New National theater, Washington,
with the then president, Theodore Roose-
welt. and his family interested auditors. Its
engagement at the Liberty theater, New
York, met success similar TO those offer
ings Of the same producer, "Brewster's
Millions and Polly OF the Circus" each
Of which had a long run which are still
two Of the most successful dramatic
pieces on the American boards.
Via Wireless" is remarkable for two
great scenes, each is novel and dramatic
in the extreme. In the second act the action
takes place in the business office OF a
Pittsburg steel plant. The other is per-
haps that most talked of scene, from
which the play takes it's name and repre-
sents a Porto Rican liner In the act of
rescuing by means of wireless telegraphy
the crew and passengers Of a yacht which
is going to pieces in a storm at night on a
reef thirty miles away 1t is one of the
condolences that comes to light in dra-
matte as well as other fields of %endeavor,
that this scene was written and staged
in the summer of 1908, when It was purely
a work of imagination, but that It was
duplicated in real life several months after
when the Italian liner FLORIDA" ran into
and sank the White Star liner Republic"

The Boyd will offer a genuine comedy
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with
matinees Wednesday and Thursday, when
"A Gentleman From Mississippi will be
shown for the first time in this city.
Messrs. Brady & Grismer are sending a
cast made up entirely Of players who took
part in the long run of the play in New
York, including James Lackaye, Osborne
Searle, Hal De Forrest, II. Bratton Ken
nedy, Miss Virginia Pearson, Miss Olive
Harper, Miss Minnette Barrett, Miss zulu
Konort and Miss Adelaide Wise. The hit
Of the play was not confined to that
through a run of twenty-five weeks in
Chicago.
"A Gentleman From Mississippi is genu-
inc comedy. There is not a line in its
-four acts that is not in the spirit of true
comedy, by which is meant q play that
truly reflects life without touching more
than lightly upon tragic aspects. In this
play the characters of Carolina Langdon,
Senator Langdon's lovely elder daughter,
and Charles Norton, a member of the
house of representatives, are shown as
bearing the burden of a wrong they seek
to do the fair name Of. the girls fine

the necessity Of becoming less a princess,
but remaining still a human woman. She
is quite charming throughout. Rose Cogh-

never be disappointed, was Lady Shuttle

Of any patrons Of the New theater con-
corning the alleged difficulties in the acous-

pleasure with which one may listen to Miss

seem to prove that any remaining archi-
tectural shortcomings may be overcome by
the evolutionary art of the members Of the

is, Mrs. Smith invested the quaint old Eng
lish small village pensioner with the most
mirth-provoking weaknesses. and her tipsy
scene in the living room of the little Cot

never for an instant offensive.

T THE New theater Antony
a and Cleopatra was followed
~ by The Cottage in the Air" a
- modern comedy by Edward
SEn Knoblauch. Its presentation
G1 seems on the whole to have
been very successful. For one thing,
the management Of the theater had
eliminated the faults i'm acoustics which
spoiled the pleasure Of many at the first
play in New YQrk's newest theater. But,
on the other hand, the grave danger which
John Corbin himself limited at before he
became connected with the New theater be-
came recognized. The New theater is per-
haps too large for the successful interpreta-
ton Of a dainty comedy like Mr.. Knob
LAUGHS. The situation was succintly sum-
med up by William Archer when he said:
you can give tragedy in a comedy
theater. but you cannot give comedy in a
tragedy theater."
This is borne out by the following re-
marks on the second play at this theater
from the Dramatic Mirror:
The possibility Of intimate Interpretation
for a play like Mr.. Knoblauch's The Cot
tage in the Air. in the New theater is not
yet established. The splendid advantages
of the house for lavish spectacle, shown so
admirably in the production of Antony and
Cleopatra" dwarf somewhat the dainty
sentiment and narrow range of the first
modern play to be mounted there. This is
the most serious adverse criticism, how
ever, one may make Of the presentation
given to the Knoblauch comedy 1t was
most generously mounted and. for the most
part, beautifully acted.
The play is offered in a gorgeous setting.

to unfold itself, that in the library Of the

Pretty little Beulah Poynter is coming
back to the Krug theater for four nights,
commencing Sunday, November 81, in her
popular play, Lena Rivers taken from
Mary J.. Holmes famous novel of the
same name. 1t was adapted for the stage
by Miss Poynter herself. The flavor Of the
novel, known to everyone, has been care
fully preserved, and the dramatic situa-
tions rave been worked out with a practi-
cal and skillful hand. Miss Poynter, who
has done much as a playwright, could not
be expected to fall short Of being a capa-
BILE actress. She realizes every anticipa-
ton and meets every demand with the au-
thority of her undoubted art. In her hands
Lena Rivers is a delightful creation, a
sort Of intermingling of breeze and sun
shine, with an occasional passing shadow,
like the ghost of a cloud. She is equally
effective in the roles calling for naive
comedy and those depending upon the
sterner emotions. The cast is good through
out.

One of the dominant events Of the vau-
deville season is scheduled for this week
at the Orpheum. Julius Steger is coming.
Play patrons will recall that for three
seasons he was strkingly effective in The
Fifth Commandment" and now he
returns to Omaha in a new playlet
which is said to be even stronger
in it's heart appeal and delicacy of senti-
ment than the one in which he gained
such wide recognition as an artist. The
new offering, The Way of the Heart"
is a one-act musical drama adapted from
the German, and in it's presentation Mr..
Steger has five associate players. A pre-
tentious ensemble in six scenes will be Of
fered by Joseph Harris Bathing Girls"
The act is said to be one of the most elab-
crate ever presented in vaudeville. The
feature is made up Of divertlng musical
specialties, richly staged and presented
with unique lighting effects. The surf
scene is a striking novelty.
Another item OF striking beauty will he

nous Arabian horse, Chesterfield. Under
her training the wonderful animal assumes
various poses and remains so motionless
that one might think him a statue carven

ment the kinodrome will project the new

cert orchestra will offer several high class

The above item from the Durango paper is but further confirmation of the news printed in the Silver Belt from time to time that road into that country, which in all probability will pass through Globe and be part of the main line of the Southern Pacific, is but matter of short time. The gentlemen referred to, instead of in vestigating the feasibility of building a line south, were undoubtedly inves- tigating the extent of the coal fells The Southern Pacific engineers at the present time are completing the sur vey to that part of the country and the survey was begun in Globe, leading northward. An outlet in this direction would not only tap the rich coal fields of that section, furnishing fuel to the great industries of Arizona, but also make a through line from the middle northwest and east to the coast--an outlet very much needed, which would shorten the haul and reduce the grade for the great across-continent travel.
 Further developments in this direc tion may be looked for at no distant late.
