one that will be received with much pop
ular satisfaction. for It puts back on the
map the old firm OF Woodward e Bur-
CESS, under whose guidance Omaha en-
joyed its best days at the theater. These
gentlemen have taken over the Boyd
theater, and will install permanent
stock organization there, opening noxt

pect to win back TO that house the
standing II enjoyed under their former
control. The season at the American

Amusement company. will end on satur-
day evening next.

stay at the Boyd last night, and will
open a season at the Broadway theater
In Denver this evening. While the stay
OF this organization In Omaha was short.
II wac sufficiently long to establish its
standing as a thoroughly capable com
pany of actors. Miss Lang did better
work In several OF the roles she gave US
In "Kindling." than she has ever done In
Omaha, and fully demonstrated her
growth In her art. Mr.. Miller is q good

served prosperity In Denver.

him VIII be Miss Frances McHenry, a
young woman who Is well known in New
York and the east. and who is recon-
mended as one OF the brightest OF stock
leading women. The company will be
made up partly from that now playing
at the American and partly from people
brought on from the east TO strengthen
the organization.
