S-Why is the Empress
Theater meeting with
such great success?
GIVING ALL YOU CAN
FOR WHAT YOU GET

Forty-four consecutive, successful
weeks have demonstrated the posi-
bility and feasibility of operating an
industry upon the policy of giving
all you can for what you get, and
not OF getting all you can for what
you give"
The Empress Theater was opened
January goth OF this year. The
twenty-one days this summer that
the thermometer passed the one
hundred mark had very little OF a
retardent effect upon the patronage.
The crowds kept coming, and since
the beginning of the regular theatri-
cal season they have constantly
grown, until now about the only
complaint one hears is that you can
never get in, and the truth Is that
there are only about four times In
the day that II is possible TO obtain
main floor seats. These hours are
the hours at which the vaudeville
performances begin, namely, at 1880,
$40, 1880 and 3 o'clock. The theater
remains open from noon until IL
O'Clock at night. showing pictures
exclusively at dinner and supper
time. OF course, there is lots OF
room at this time.
The best of vaudeville acts have
been secured. The cost of the show
did not enter into consideration,
when quality was concerned. Acts
direct from the big eastern vaude-
Vile circuit are shown, week after
week, and the photo plays are the
best that money can buy and are
absolutely first run at all times.
Approximately one-fourth of the
population OF Omaha attends the
Empress theater each week. a record
that is practically without equal in
the United States today. Watch the
crowds. There must be a reason

In the Way of Lovers.

Presently they went along the back
ward path, on one side the stubble and
oak groves silvered by the moon, and
on the other the abysmal valley beyond
the sumacs on the cliff edge. His arm
was about her, and at times she
stopped him to look up into his grave
face, 10 brush back the curls from his
temples, and tell her story. She moved
him with this trust; all their secret
nights together this amazing summer
she had been a thing of wild woods
llghtness, grace, and gayety. a defying
little Cinderella, proud of her beauty,
eccentric in her dress and posing. He
had not stopped to think where il
would all end His cool blood of the
East had never reckoned on such pas
sion as had, summer long, famed in
her; ne could not guess that she was
thanking God for his strength which
held her purely, even while the call of
youth to youth was in her eyes. Sum-
mer night and young night have no
morality, and either lust or virtue is
an easy thing, costing nothing of the
price the years bring.

closed eyes, the black hair falling
straight from its parting down over
her ears. giving her face the fxity of
a penitent. But in her hair she had
put, as always, a flower. He drew her
TO him and kissed the blossom, and
she struggled, murmuring, ITS not

Wild bird" he whispered, with his
grave smile. While it's tonight. let's
not think of thatP And at her quick
surrender in his arms, the curious re-
morseful rapture that had stung him
all this summer of his vacation, meet
ing her here alone, came to him. By
days he thought of it with cool reas-
sertion of his blood and tradition-he
really could not love her, he reasoned;
yet by night he met her there, and,
laughing, gave up to it and to her. He
tried to tell himself that it was all
summer trysting, that she would forget
with the cooling days and he away.
But she had seemed stupehed by this
miracle of loving him, the complete
ness of yielding. Her days she went
about in dream, lying blithely for
his sake, protecting his name, living
only for the hour she could steal to
the hills and await him.
It's monstrous she cried, putting
him in jail! What did the lawyers say
we'd win for? It's bad enough to be
crippled, but to lose and be imprisoned.

could not evade him. She stared up at

laughing. 'Oh, well, then. Harlan, I

"Aurelie-not hungry" There was
horror in his tone. Not to have enough
to cato his class and breeding-was
disreputable.
She smiled up through her tears.
Mon Dieu, yes-but what of that?
Many times we've been hungryp
He was more shocked than she could
guess. Hunger was a luxurious state
of mind inciden. to picnics and ath-
letics. One never really met people
hungry from having nothing to eat.
And to dig nuts and eat them and
then come into town, proud-oh. SO
very proud with a flower in ones
hair; marching into the recitation room
at high school without deigning to
speak to any one! He thought back
to the time he was senior, and Aure-
lie had been-a gypsy child, with short
dresses and long legs-he wondered
what an amazing change had come to
her in the four years. He had for
gotten her until this lazy summer,
when, fishing along Sinsinawa, he had
come up her gravely watching his
threshing of a pool for bass, and she
had mockingly derided him. She met
him again hunting, and showed him an
otter's den in a wild morass of the
bottoms, when none would have be-
lieved there was an otter in the State.
