tie OF allurement as any ever
offered here. Today the Boyd
begins with an offering of melo-
drama at popular prices; the Or
pheum and Gayety are already in
line. and next Sunday the Brandeis
will present film play, and week
later the Krug starts new stock
company on a forty-week journey.
Nowhere does anything Of real inter-
est or merit appear. Some worth
while attractions are tentatively prom
ised for later in the season, but moth
ing definite. This may be an echo
of the situation in New York, where
the new season began week ago,
but so far, with only REVEALS of last
seasons farces and a couple of new
comedies on old lincs--absolutely
nothing of real consequence. There
the producers are promising that
something may be done later in the
season, but all seem to be under the
influence of the bugaboo of the
movies and the approaching election.
1t is bad time, the managers argue,
to undertake any pretentious produc-
ton, for the people are so excited over
politics they will pay no attention to
the theater. This condition prevails
each four years, so those who expect
to get any pleasure at the play may
as we'll make up their minds to wait
for at least two months. What will
happen then not even the New York
moguls can tell.

Is that Willie Collier, Robert Edeson

to play in honest-to-goodness plays,
where flesh and blood is presented to
the public, and not shadows. But
this Is not verified, and may be only
bit Of press agents chatter, One
thing against its likelihood is that
neither of the persons mentioned is
devoid of ability, each having proved
capacity and understanding as an
actor, thereby eliminating themselves
from the general scheme of the Broad
way producer, who only seeks expe-
rience when he is employing such
stars as Al Jolson and Frank Tinney.
One item Of interest to those who
still take the theater seriously-and
there are few such--is contained in
letter received during the week from
DR.. Charles William Wallace. He
says he has engaged himself to de-
liver series of lectures in the United
States this winter on his Shakes
pearean research work, beginning in
November. The Omaha section of the

tent that an effort will likely be made
to secure DR.. Wallace for an evening
