Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1915-04-18

ONE sign OF life is apparent
q in the world of the theater
again. For example. in New
York one of the big daily
III papers is seeking an order
S@4 from the courts to require that
the Shuberts permit its critic to enter
their theaters on a purchased ticket. The
Shuberts answer that they will gladly let
into their theaters any person connected
with the paper save the one specifically
barred for personal reasons. The case has
not yet been determined. but very likely
will turn the same as did the now all
but forgotten case of Metcalfe against
Klaw & Granger. which was contested
on practically Identical grounds, and
which was determined in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. In the meantime, bill is being
pushed at Albany to make it a misde-
meanor TO refuse admission to a theater
to any critic because of what he may
or may not have written and published
about the performance there or elsewhere.
II the magnates can only get this settled
before next fall, maybe wen be happy
yet.
Another sign that may or may not be
significant Is the number OF big names
that are being grouped in current casts.
Impending in Omaha Is the engagement
of a company In which are five actors,
each of whom was just little whilo rack
considered sufficiently eminent &c have
a separate company; at two theaters in
New York are being presented plays OF
other days with casts that read like a
roll call OF the great in the thespian
world and in these and other instances
al
tered in assembling the casts and arlang-
ing for the performances No especial
reason here to prophesy anything. but IL
the plan becomes general and the prac
tice continues. people may yet turn from
the movies to the theater once more.

Omaha folks said a farewell, with some
regret. to Miss Frances McHenry yester-
day. and will follow her with friendly in
terest into her Canadian venture. Her
stay at the Boyd has been very pleasant
for the folks out in front. and she may
feel certain OF her welcome should she
ever return For Miss Ruth Gates, who
succeeds Miss McHenry, a welcome waits
as warm as ever she encountered She
comes 20 Omaha with a most creditable
record OF performance, her experience on
the stage being so comprehensive as TO
give her ability ample test. and It was
for this reason that Manager Burgess Sc
lected her for the place. She has youth
and charm Of face and manner, and per-
sonality in her favor, too. and 1t will be
occasion for remark II she does not be-
come favorite here as she has elsewhere

SENSATIONAL HEADLINES NOT REAL NEWS AND THE
 PUBLIC TIRES OF THEM
By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. uLLMAN

Speaking of newsboy republics and newsboy clubs.'' said prominent citizen the other day, there is one thing l sincerely wish would be told the newsie-- not to sell his papers by crying out only the sensational headlines.
 When the afternoon paper is given him for sale he immediately begins to cry his wares, advertising the most horrible thing he can find in the headlines. Often it is only the headlines, because the ar ticle is of no consequence, and has no excuse for being made prominent in this way. The moral effect of such cry is the street is very dangerous and bad giving the idea that America is steeped in crime.
 And if you carefully notice this sensa- ticnal cry is usually from the boy that carries the afternoon paper. This bears me out when I say the afternoon paper has to be yellow journal to be bought For good, staple and interesting stuff, to use the newspaper vernacular, the morning paper has the goods.
 One reason the New York Times has been such a success is its lack of sensa-

 So wide has been the interest in the work to be done by the chamber that practically every state in the south will be represented at the head table by del- egations of business men. The Atlanta delegation, headed by Wilmer L. Moore and Nell Wilkinson, will be particularly strong.

Should she have married him?

Should she have married him?
 The answer will be in The Age-Herald tomorrow morning-at least the seven best answers and prize winners-as the contest will close tonight at 8 o'clock. Hurry your letters to the Dramatic Edi- tor of The Age-Herald.
 The contest is on the problem offered in the play. "Outcast," by Hubert Henry Davies, which comes to the Jefferson theatre tomorrow and Wednesday with a matinee on Wednesday. The prizes of fered are:
 First prize a sl0 gold piece.
 Second prize a box at the Jefferson for tomorrow nights performance of the "Outcast.'
 The next five prizes will be two orches- tra seats to the "Outcast'' for tomor- row night.
 In order that the readers of The Age- Herald may get an idea on how to com pose their letters of 100 words or less, the following synopsis of the "Outcast' is offered.
 Miriam is a cheerful, somewhat philo- sophie and quite uncomp,sfning girl of the London streets. Chance brings her to the door of Godfrey s fiat at time when he is busily going to the bad with the aid of whisky and drugs, which he had sought for consolation when the woman he loved "chucked' him for a more advantageous match. The girl rec ognizing perhaps a certain freemasonry, established by his utter misery, lends him a friendly arm. They join hands as pals. She falls deeply and miserably in love with him, and her suffering is due not so much to the fact that he will not marry her. though she is wistfully eager for that, but because she knows his ten derest feeling is for Valentine. the wom- an who had tilted him. It Is Miriam s speeches. woe which, in the end, shows Valentine not merely that Godfrey can not tear himself from this girl, but that she herself cannot tear herself from her devoted but quite uninteresting husband. Geoffrey then offers Miriam marriage in the casual manner of one offering some thing one does not value. But she will not have 1t that way. She has been read ing the marriage service, and it has added something to her social philosophy. Whether you think of marriage as re- ligious or as just human." she observes slowly, tits a pretty solemn business. It is for good women. It is their reward"

| tionalism, It caters to that class of read CTS whe are vitally interested and sincere in their desire to get the real news, not just headlines.
 Now. for instance, in Birmingham the news. with truth and sincerity sbehind it, and without the false flourish, is found in The Age-Herald. It is not too con- servative and yet it is absolutely just.
 T never knew a paper to take such a fair stand as it did during the recent election for city commissioner; it is fair and just to the suffrage question. and although it has not committed itself to policy on this important subject, the matter is always treated with sincerity. I could mention many other things. The way the paper went for the prison lease system would make me an admirer of it for ever after.
 Can't you induce the women of Bir- mingham to get the newsboys to stop crying Murder and disaster at us every time we turn street corner? fe>el sure if the women help and the other papers try and be as decent as The Age Herald this can be remedied very quickly'

 On paying the last tribute I was led 70 strongly appeal to thoss who m ,urn for her that they should regar shc mon- strous sickness that slew her as their own enemy. and her as a brave little soldier who had smiled in rh. face of death and had fallen as soldier should. Only by resisting the monstrous thing that destroyed this young life can we make sure that her death has not been in vain. shall carry with me to the last hours the memory of her constant smile when asked how she was getting along and the cherry tones of her voice saying. Fine and dandy" though every one could see that she was wasting away.
 To lead the way for sanitary work ing places would be the finest memorial to 16-year-old Helen.
