LYNCH is POPULAR PLAYER
Well Known Leading Man Starts
Summer Season with His Own
Company at the Brandeis.
GETS A VERY WARM WELCOME

Edward Lynch received indubitable
proof OF his personal popularity In Omaha
Saturday afternoon and evening. the
occasion being the opening Of a summer
stock season at the Brandeis theater. the
company being headed by Mr.. Lynch. At
both matinee and evening performance
the house was well filled, and Mr.. Lynch
was compelled to stop when he first came
on in the first act. to tell his friends out
in front how glad he was to he with
them again.
At the evening performance a veritable
conservatory OF flowers was passed over
the footlishts as further testimony to
the high favor in which the clever young
actor is established here. But not alone
did the leading man OF the company re-
/ ceive friendly greeting for others In the
| company who are known were warmly
received, and the newcomers were made
to feel that they, too. had a share In the
welcome.
! Miss McGrRne scores.
/ within the Law has been played here
many times, with a long list of well
known actresses in the name part, but
none OF them more fully realized the
possibilities of the part, or more com
pletely won the sympathy of their audi
ence than did Miss McGrane last night.
She has made most suspicious start on
her career here, and will be watched
with interest in other roles. Miss Nc
Crane is comely and graceful, with a
most useful voice, FUN of musical tones
and under good control and with such
attractions OF manner and person as
ought to make her a well established
"favorite" very soon.
Mr.. Lynch plays Richard Glider with an
earnestness and finish that makes the
character very effective MIR. Horn finds
himself in a congenial role as the police
inspector and does his 'rnan-eating' IN
a way that lives up to the popular idea
of the third degree" for the support OF
which one must turn always to the
"thrillers," for that is the only place
where such policemen exist. HollisteI
Pratt made a very good impression az
Joe Carson, and not a few Of the folks
out I'm front felt almost as badly as die
Mary Turner, when they saw the burglar
led away to a cell after he had confessed
murder Miss Grace Dale plays thu
smart role of Agnes Lynch with suci
JUNCTION as to make 1t most natuvai
lOtners in the cast are good. within tho
Law will run all this week.
