Omaha landed a big contract in Lincoln
last week when w. II. Ferguson, the mil
lionaire grain man, placed his order with
Sunderland Brothers for marble and tile
work for his palatial new residence.
The same company is installing marble
and tile in the new Morris theater at Egh-
teenth and Douglas streets Work of this
size has been going to St Paul, Milwaukee
and Chicago. Steel ceilings in the Orkin
store on Sixteenth street and in the big
office room Of Adams & Kelly Co. have
just been installed by them In addition to
these are steel ceilings erected for the Ne

Aside from the differing architectural
lines, the exterior material will alternate
between pure white rough-cast stucco and
a rich Turkish tone of rough texture face

and the others are typical brick designs.

The building business Is active not only
in Omaha, but throughout the entire Mis-
souri, valley. New store buildings, school
houses, churches and residences are the
rule rather than the exception in nearly
every county within 100 miles Of the river.
Omaha has recently become a market for
special building materials just as it has
for many years been the base OF supplies
in regular materials like cement, lime,
plaster and lumber. Where formerly con-
tracts for floor tile, steel ceilings face
bricks, interior decorations and even build
ing plans went to ST. Louis and Chicago,
today Omaha is as well equipped in these

ARCHITECTS WORKING
FOR CITY BEAUTIFUL
Aspect of Omaha's Residence District
Indication of City's Artistic
DEVELOPMENT.

One leading element in beautifying a city
is the preservation of harmony between
neighboring structures. Variety is the
! spice of life" but unless there Is considered
/ and respected the relation between the
properties which adioin, the idea of beauty
and harmony is lacking
Types Of architecture differ just as do
other works of art. There is the dis
tine lion, however, that the architect is often
compelled to produce in black and white
the ideas OF whole family and all the
! friends thereof instead Of his own. This
! often accounts for the lack OF architectural
harmony between the various nearby build
ings If not in the proposed structure itself.
1t is therefore a matter of interest and
savora well for the beauty OF Omaha resi-
dence districts that architects and owners
are giving thought to this important phase
of building.
At Minden, Neb. DIR. II. Hapeman Is
building one of the most beautiful resi-
/ dences in the state from plans by Architect
| II. A. Henninger of Omaha. The structure
| is to be built of brick which is to be the
same-even TO the method of laying--as was
used in the S. A. Page house north of the

piano mastery has proven no less at
tractive than his baritone voice.
Other artists will assist the trio of
performers while the Lancaster La

numbers The bill, with an entire

week.

mental Burbank theater stock produc-
tions will be seen for the week begin
ming with the matinee today. This Is
Salvation Nell" to be given for the
first time by any stock company In
Los Angeles. In this production A.
Byron Beasley will return to the cast
after about two months vacation.
salvation Nell" written by e. b.
Sheldon, has been one of the greatest
dramatic successes of the last decade.
Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske starred IN
it for several seasons, and only recent
ly has it been released for stock pur-
poses. 1t is a story of the slums, CIV
ing a vivid picture of the work done
by the Salvation army In redeeming
the unfortunate from their degrada-
ton. Nell is a poor drudge, the con-
sort of a bully. Jim Platt This man
is sent to prison for killing another
man in a saloon brawl. and the sal
walton army takes Nell from the
scenes of sdualor. Eight years pass.
Nell has become useful worker
among her former associates, and the
army major falls in love with her.
Just then Jim, having served his term,
comes back and tries to force Nell to
live with him again on their former
terms. She is equally determined to
raise him to her level, and the struggle
of the drama begins.
Miss Rambeau will have one of her
greatest roles in the part in which
Mrs. Fiske starred, Salvation Nell. a.
Byron Beasley will play Jim Platt, in
which he should equal his greatest
successes, such as his Jim Brooks or
"Paid in Full" The cast is an un-
usually long one, and the scenic set
tings will be the heaviest of any piece
put on at the Burbank for months.
The tenement scene in the thlrd act IS
one of the biggest things ever placed
behind the footlights. In spite OF TINS
great expense and the big royalty the
regular Burbank prices will rule.
GRAND-"The Girl and the Gam
bier" one of Hal Reid's big melodrama
successes, will serve as the offering OF
the Girton stock company for the
week commencing with the matinee
today. This play is one of the east
ern melodramatic hits and one OF the
latest plays from the pen of Hal
Reid. 1t is a really gripping play,
the human interest prevailing from
curtain to curtain. The story is m
tensely interesting and allows many
chances for dramatic moments and
strong climaxes. 1t is a play with a
moral showing a convincing picture
Of what will and what has happened
to many a successful man who takes
to drink.
In this instance Walter Lawrence
takes to drink and, led on by Douglas
Blanchard, an interruptions broker,
takes to gambling, with the result
that he is swindled out of everything
he has from money and home to val
liable deeds to mines. He is in love
with Geraldine Lawrence, who, realiz-
ing her fathers awful condition, va
liantly fights the broker Blanchard
with his own methods, gambling with

BELASCO-When Charles Ram Ken
nedy wrote "The Servant in the House"
he performed something akin to a
miracle; he wrote as human sermon
In the guise of compelling drama as
has been conceived since the days
when saints produced literature.
This drama Of the essentials of
beneficence will be produced Monday
evening at the Belasco theater for the
first time by any stock company.
No such delightful combination of
the human and the superhuman in
ethical enlightenment has ever graced
the stage.
Elizabethan moralities, the plays
which gave modern drama its ground
work, but with this quality of spiritual
.uplight, it breaches no dogma, enforces
no theology, does not bore with any
preachments, but clarifies the message
the God man brought to the world with
the picturing of traits and situations
that the wayfaring man and the IN
tellectual alike will recognize and find
delight in.
Like all great works. "The Servant
in the House is simple and appeals
both to understanding and emotions.
Hobart Bosworth has been especial
ly engaged for the role of Manson,
the butler, and this splendidly equipped
actor may be expected to give a per-
formance at once thoroughly intelli-
gent, forceful, dignif1ed and strongly
dramatic. The role of Robert Smith,
the drainman, will be in the hands OF
Frank Camp, and while this actor s
previous work with the Belasco COM
pany has been along the line of stage
villains, his contribution to "The
Servant In the House" is pretty certain
to be one Of the most expertly drawn
characterizations of the performance.
William Yerance will be seen as the
Reverend James Ponsonby Make
shyfte, Bishop of Lancashire. Harry
Andrews will be the vicar. Richard
Barbee will come into his first real
chance with the Belasco company In
the part of Rogers, the page boy.
Helen Sullivan will enact the part OF
Auntie, and Rosina Henley Will play
the young niece.
BRISTOL. PIER-The largest crowds
ever attending Bristol Pier cafe were
in evidence during the past week. The
free vaudeville bill of that hostelry
located out at sea, has proven first
aid In bringing thousands, even dur
ing the very cool seasons opening
However, the fact that the seaward
cafe now is one of the really cool
places in Southern California, COM
bined with an entertainment of high
class has augmented the throngs.
The performances presented during
the past week seem to have been
highly appreciated. and for that reason
three of the stars will be retained
They are Estelle Bird, the New York
prima donna; Hortense Glen, con-
tralto, and Roderic Vance, whose

trips; the aviary boasts its brill
liant display of plumage.; the
monkey-house is filled with furry
denizens of the jungle, and in fact
all the mechanical shows, animal
displays and self-entertainment
devices of this big institution are
upon display.
Music will be discoursed by a
big band.
The restaurant, in the hands of
a competent caterer, will dispense
cheer and stimulation not of the
vinous order.
The new management proposes
many additions to the Chutes,
and as rapidly as possible will
make it the leading show place of
the whole southwest.
Perry E. Girton, manager of
the Grand opera house, has
planned a surprise for theatrical
managers throughout the country
in general and the patrons of the
Grand opera house in particular
by arranging for the presentation
by the Girton stock company,
within few weeks, of a comedy
melodrama based upon the great
DR.. Crippen case. The play,
which is in four acts and written
by Iva c. Tichenor, Los Ange-
les newspaper man, is entitled
Tracked by Wireless Across the
Atlantic" with a subtitle, "The
Great DR.. Crippen Case" The
plot follows closely the events
leading up to the arrest of DR..
Crippen on the charge of murder
ing his wife, Belle Elmore, the
Brooklyn music hall artist, but
other characters are brought into
what otherwise would be rather
barren field for plot. According
| to those who have read the manu-
script the play, while exciting and
interesting from the point of
thrilling situations, contains none
of the disagreeable details con-
nected with the case. 1t is also
said to be fairly alive with clean
comedy, full of epigrams, spark
ling wit and clever humorisms.
The play is now undergoing the
final revisions and rehearsals un-
der the direction of Joseph De
Grasse soon will begin. Man
ager Girton promises some sur
prises in the way of specialties in
connection with the play but
which have no direct bearing
upon the production.

"The modernization of comic
opera has forced many good ones
into other lines. Not many years
ago I PLAYED with Francis Wilson
in comic opera. Today he is play
ing in farce comedy. Lillian
Russell has forsaken the musical
for the dramatic field. De Wolfe
Hopper is now presenting musi-
cal comedy which is more play
than a musical offering. / could
name many others. When the
public wakes up to the fact that
real comic opera is to be enjoyed
far more than the trashy attempts
now labeled musical comedy,
these stars and others will return
to their rightful field and comic
opera will come into its own
again"
Chutes park, one of the veteran
amusement institutions of Los
Angeles, will be reopened today
under an entirely new manage
ment and with new attractions
and new bids in general for pub
lie favor.
The new Chutes will be pre-
eminently a place for quiet
wholesome and enjoyable recrea-
ton, a place as much for women
and children as for the masculine
element, and having absolutely
none of the Objectionable features
commonly associated with out
door amusement parks.
No liquor will be sold on the
premises, games of chance are
barred and questionable catch
penny devices, whose only object
is the easy fim-Aamming of the
patron, are strictly taboo.
On the other hand the zoo
probably the largest and most
complete in the southwest, has
been completely overhauled and
animals and cages are in first
class condition; the skating rink
cannot be excelled; swings, mer-
ry-go-rounds and all such devices
have been put in fine order for

glory; there is no better roller
