Jean Bedini'S New
'Puss Puss' Show Has
Many Good Points

A different sort Of show is offered this
week at the Gayety, and judging from
, It's popularity at the opening performance
last n ght, II is destined to prove splen-
did attraction for the pre-Christmas sea-
son. Jean Bedini of vaudeville juggling
fame heads and directs the company and
succeeds notably in presenting what he
Undertakes, namely, a novel and zestful
entertainment. The unusual stunts are
SO numerous and pleasing that they alone
arc worth attention and in addition the
usual clever singing, dancing and fun
arc fCrnishCd. Pep" is plentiful from
start 30 finish, costumes are brilliant and
nifty, song hits go over" with u vim
aud when the final curtai' drops the
crowd goes home smiling and Iappy that
they have seen a burlesque worth while.
Two soubrettes instead of one increase
tho jolllty of the show. Both Pam Law
renee and Mae Holden win much favor
with their numbers. and emphasize the
fact that there cannot be too much Of
the speedy singing -and-dancing-girl kidd
of cntcriaMment. Helen Loraync and
Cleo Skelly add to the feminine beauty
and attractiveness, and Edith Monroe
offers @ pleasing Scotch lassie speciality
with bagpipes and Highland fling. Char
lie Mac and Harry Jackson distribute
comedy with effectiveness. while Ben
Grinnel and Sidney Vincent FIJI in the
male solo and minor laughable features
capably. Bedini and Mac display skill
in real and comedy juggling. Davis and
Stafford, blackface dancers, score one OF
the biggest hits of the show with their
songs, jokes and nimble foot work. The
four London girls in music hall dances,
and the whole chorus in a ballet of the
seasons and the holidays. present win
ming features.
In a screaming burlesque OF the court
scene OF ''On Trial" some of the prin-
cipals leave the audience gasping for
breath after convulsive laughter. A spe-
cial platform, extending out from the
footlIghts and over the front row of
seats. allows the girls extra opportunities
TO entertain the crowd. much to the lat
ter's delight. During the week special
touch of the Christmas spirit is given the
show by the girls. who go out into the
audience and receive donations to the
City Missions Santa Claus fund. A total
of $3.50 was collected last night. Last
year the same system was used by the
Christmas week show to raise MONEY for
bringing cheer TO the poor and total
OF almost 500 was raised during the
week.

RETAIL FIRMS LOCATING
ON FARNAM STREET WEST

+, Business houses are gradually spread
ing out over the city, enlarging the retail
section of Omaha. There seems to be a
decided effort on the part OF some TO
widen out the retail district to get away
from the higher rents on the main streets.
Harrison & Morton have rented the store
room at 1890 Farnam street to Miss Belle
Hatch, who will on February 1 open up
there a ladies' millinery establishment.
, Che store room will be entirely remodeled
and fitted with new fixtures, a long
time lease having been secured
Harrison e. Morton are also consider
ing the plan OF remodeling the corner OF
Nineteenth and Farnam, the room re-
Gently left by Murphy & o'Brien. The
plan is to include the floor above and
make one large store building for some
"ready-to-wear" firm.

approval OF the program OF operas TO he
sung here. In selecting the operas the
local committee not only considered the
expressed preferences OF many shriners

.he files OF the newspapers to determine
from opinions OF musical critics just
which operas were given the most en-
thuslastIe receptions whom sung here In
previous years by the San Carlos and
other opera companies.
''Iucia,'' "Cavaierla Rusticania" and
II Pasilaeer' we're the most popular o
those sung here last year by the Sal

have been been sung comparatively few
times In Omaha, Mr. Pryor says, and

feet by tho coming organization.
