%EW TRIUMPH FOR WOODWARD
Opening Of the Stock Season at the
American Great Success.
MISS LANG GETS WARM WELCOME
Popular Beading woman Made 90
Know that Her Omaha Friends
Are LoyaI-Others I'm the
" Company Liked.

For a woman who has spent several
years full Of labor and achievement in
trying to show the people OF Omaha the
true artistic successes that can be attained
by an intelligent stock company when
headed BY a capable actress. u must have
been gratifying to receive such a welcome
as Miss Eva Lang received at the Ameri-
can saturday night when the Woodward
Stock company opened the season there.
Her first appearance on the stage was the
signal for a hearty moment of applause
and she replied in a clever appreciative
little speech. At the close Of the second
act she almost disappeared under heap
Of bouquets that were thrust upon her
dozens OF roses and every other gorgeous
flower in magnificent clusters.
The other returning members OF former
were given like greeting. Mr.
Clinton Tusun, who did valiant service
last winter. came first upon the stage and
was not allowed 70 buttle a single bit be
fore he had thanked every body for thank
ing him. Miss Katherin Sheldon was com
PEELED 20 make a speech and Mr.. Corwin
Luskmore, who is playing villains in the
very pink OF villainous manners, was re-
membered enthusiastically Tor his work
during the summer with Lloyd Ingraham 5
players.
In a Beautiful Home.
The beautiful theater which will make
an attractive and worthy home for the
woodward company this season was
packed to the roof trees. Miss Lang will
never receive a more convincing proof of
the fact that Omaha theatergoers have s
warm place for her in their hearts and a
real APT >eciation Of her accomplishments.
The company opens in THE Chaperon." a
karce comedy. Il is just the sort of thing
khat Miss Lang does particularly well be
cause Of her poise, her charm and her in
fectious humor. She pulled up several
scenes that verged perilously near the i'm
possible and the company supported her
in lightness and spirit.
The most important Of the newcomers,
Mr. Harry Burkhart, succeeds to the diff.
culties Of a long line OF capable men who
have taken the masculine leads in the
Woodward Stock company. He has voice
End a presence, a good laugh and a real
idea Of what the audience expects OF him.
He will not leap instantly into the creates;

and hope that he will get the appreciation
he deserves for his strength and per

Charming faces are not new in the com
pany. but Miss Lotus Robb is a discover
as an ingenue. and is a sweet and mos
agreeable surprise. Mr.. Robert Hall Rus
