Miss Edith Shayne revealed true dramatic

male roles were all excellently filled. The

The selection Of play to open the Bran
deis was hardly as fOrtuitous as on other
occasions when theaters have been dedl-
Gated in Omaha, but this was due solely
to the exgences of the occasion. -Arsene
Lupin" Is lacking in certain elements that
must be shown in a really strong play. But
the event had the merit of excellent acting
for Mr.. Courtenay, Mr.. Herbert, Mr.. Har-
bury, Mr. Elliott, Mr.. Dodd Miss Keane
and Mrs. Wheatcroft are the nucleus OF a
company Of unusual merit and their work
was of the most delightful character Mr.
Courtenay and Mr.. Herbert lift their parts
well above the plane on which the play is
cast, and endOw the characters Of the thief
and the detective with qualities that make
them most fascinating. Miss Keane is
doing something that is really magnificent;
she submerges herself in the requirements
Of a comparatively minor role, having but
little opportunity, yet realizing In one in
tense scene in the last act the reason for
her being In the cast Until that one great
scene in the smoking room Of the duke,
Sonia could well be played by a super;
riiss Keane has the good taste to not try
to make the part stand out, and thus the
splendid exhibition Of real power she shows
when the time comes is all the more force
full. Mrs. Wheatcroft has fine scene in
this act, too, that adds a great deal to
the general effect of the piece But
"Arsene Lupin" is to be tolerated more by
reason of the polite curiosity 1t arouses as
to what manner of man a French Raffies
might be than for any genuine dramatic
quality. In fact, 1t has no genuine dramatic
quality.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur races.

sar.een's Head Tavern.


 The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill, now closed, reached back to respectable antiquity. In "Dick Tarlton's Jests" 1t is referred to as "the Saracen's Head without Newgate." and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of travellers" which "hath to sign the Sarazen's Head" Its pre-. eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given a vivid description of the old inn as 1t was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that 1t was set up as compliment to the mother of Thomas Beckett. who was the daughter of Saracen. In Selden's Fable Talk" we read, When our countrymen came home from lighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge. big, terrible faces, as you still see the sign of the Saracen's Head is."-London Chronicle.
