one of Omaha's best theaters was to

for the exclusive moving picture

smaller houses are doing such bust
ness as compensates the owners tor

picture palaces are projected, work
on one of them being actively under

AS a national barometer there is
nothing so infallible as the theater in
the opinion of Bayard Veiller, author
of "The Thirteenth Chair" 1t is Mr.
Veiller's idea that one need only look
into the theaters of nation to be able
to form a pretty accurate estimate of
the people of the country themselves
"Prior to the beginning of the war
abroad" said Mr.. Veiller, in discuss
ing his theory, there was no nation
on the glcbe so fond Of amusement in
its lighter form than France. And one
has only to ruin over in his mind the
plays that have come to US from the
French during the past generation to
see how completely that lightness and
frivolity Of thought in the people
themselves was shown in their plays
Here in America we are essentially
now and have been since the first in
ception of our country {. people of
action. And our stage has been a mir
ror in which that action has been
reflected a. all times.
1T has always seemed to me that
there is nothing so melodramatic in
the entir history of the world as
America. Its growth from infancy to
a position of equality with the oldest
and most powerful nations on earth
almost within the span of mans mem,
ory beats any novel l ever read.
"And nothing better than Our own
stage tells this melodramatic story
of our country. Go back over the his
tory of our theater and you will find
that it has almost invariably been the
plays of American blood and bone
that have struck loudest and truest the
popular note of our tlleater-goers

spirit is that of do or die: of never
giving up. The melodramatic hero. no

Review of the Locol Field

although this theater had remained
dark and been called a failure, it was
success from the start under the new
control, and no doubt will continue to
be. The theater was thoroughly
overhauled,l latest equipment in
stalled and the stage used for special
settings, according to the kind of a
picture being shown, which added an
atmosphere not otherwise attainable.
When it was thought already there
were too many motion picture thea
ters, S. H. and Harry Goldberg, asso-
ciated with w. r. Mcfarland, w. H.
Jones and Harry Rachman, announced
they would erect theater on the site
Of the old World-Herald building
The theater is credit to the indus
try and has one of the prettiest lob
bies in the city. A. large orchestral
pipe organ furnishes the music:
The Empress theater, so it's said,
plays to more people in a day than
any other two theaters in the city.
The policy here is four acts of high
class vaudeville and the latest and
best feature, topical and comedy sub
jects. Managers lie Marquand and
Ledoux Eave certainly hit the trend
of public opinion. while the theater
itself is work of art.
1t might be thought that all these
new and large theaters in the busi-
ness section would materially damage
the houses that were formerly prac-
tically without competition, but not
SO. Possibly the best example of
this is the Hipp, which still enjoys
practically the same splendid patron
age as before the present condition.

Pupils Should Select With Care
instructors and Devote
Much Time to Hard
Practice.
By HENRIETTA M. REES.

~ n / 1HESE days when every
tMY thing of importance in our
Xxi IL lives is pushed more or less
to the back in favor of what
lNgGRI is most important for our
country boys at the front,
for our allies, and to help to win the
great world war, and conservation is
practised in all things, it behooves
those of us who are musically patri-
otic, and also patriotically musical,
to think what best we can do for con-
servation in music. Those not in
terested to any great extent might
be heard to say, that one way to con-
serve musically would be to leave
music out Of the great general scheme
altogether this would not be consrva-
ton at all, but complete waste of one
of the greatest arts which the world
has succeeded in building up with CEN
turies of efforts. During times of war,
the arts are the first to suffer, and it
rests largely with those in whose care
they are trusted, for this generation,
just how much or how little survives
for the next. Nor is it just question
of quantity, but rather of quality.
It Is only the best which survives
at any time, and during war times 1t
is a case of how much of the best
is able to survive. Therefore It is
part of the means of conservation in
music, for each and everyone who is
interested to conserve the very best
that there is in his connection with
the art. If he is only listener, he
can save a great deal of the time he
spends listening, by choosing careful
lv what he listens to. choosing always
the best Of the kind he is interested
in, not wasting his time on barren
sounds. Then by his attention gain
ing the greatest pleasure and profit
from the music he hears. One does
not necessarily have to have the
latest song, If what he chooses wears
well with frequent reptitions.
If he is a professional recitalist, it
is more than ever up to him to do
his best, and to make his best worthy,
and fine enough to save the love OF
music for the people, and to help them
TO realize the place there is for music
in their lives.
But perhaps with the pupils and
teachers the greatest chance for con-
servation in music is given. The pu-
pills of today are the musicians of to-
morrow. and a great responsibility
rests with those whom their educa-
ton is entrusted. The great exodus
of pupils every year to Europe for
their training is thing of the past;
it is the day of the teachers in
America and ii is up to these teach
ers to make good. Many of them
have already done so, and have es-
tablished regulations for themselves
by results which nobly testify to their
worth.
There are many we'll equipped and
competent teachers to be found all
through our broad land. and Oma-
ha has its share OF them. The teacher
should view his responsibility more
seriously than ever. He should be as
sured in his own mind that he is him
self broadly enough educated and
fitted for his high purpose. Other
wise his efforts are not for saving
music. but rather for injuring the
cause. He should use the greatest
care in his selection of teaching ma
terial and in his manner of teaching,
in order to impart his knowledge to

SCIENTIST MAKES SOAP
BUBBLES LAST A YEAR

When scientists run out of their or
binary occupations they look around
for something new to do. One of the
very newest oddities worked out by
scientific experimentation is the blow
in gof a soap bubble that will last a
whole year before breaking. Appar-
emily that is achieving the height of
useless effort, but Prof J. Dewar of
London expects to prove a good many
things by this curious method. In a
recent address before the Royal In
~stitution he exhibited a number of
small soap bubbles that were IL
months old. He also showed bubbles
more than half a yard in diameter
which had grown to the hoary age of
six months. These bubbles were con-
fined in glass containers that had
been pumped free Of air, thus creating
a vacuum for the bubbles to rest in.
Prof. Dewar said that it was neces-
sary to obtain air free of dust to make
a soap bubble that would endure for
more than a few seconds. To do this
he developed several appliances that
take all the dust out Of a limited air
space, and it was by the use of this
air that his marvellous soap bubbles
were blown. But further effort was
necessary to preserve these bubbles.
1t was found that the fed drops of
water which always gather at the
bottom of a bubble were fatal to their
attaining a respectable age. So the
professor applied little tubes to the
bottom of the bubbles, much like a
soda water straw, and drew the water
off. As a task for patience this is
recommended to the impatient.
The remarkable soap bubbles of this
educator are preserved in glass YES
sells having a little water in the bot
tom. The temperature of these YES
sells is maintained at about SO degrees
Fahrenheit. Several years were taken
up by Prof. Dewar in finding out all
about the soap bubble, and he is now
working on a plan connecting them
with atmospheric changes.

CARE OF SEED CORN

The same day that seed corn is
gathered from standing stalks as
they grow in the field the husked ears
should be put in a dry place where
there is free circulation of air, and
so placed that the ears do not touch
one another.
This is the only safe way, accord
ing to the United States department
of agriculture, which says that much
good seed has been ruined because it
vas thought to be dry enough when
gathered. Many farmers think that
their autumns are so dry that these
precautions r not necessary, yet
there is no locality where the corn
will not be bettered by a thorough
drying treatment. If corn is left in
the husk it may sprout or mildew
during var wet weather, and it is
more likely to become infested with
weevils.
Poor Storage Impairs Vitality.
The vitality of seed may be reduced
by leaving it in q sack or in a pile for
even a day after it has been gathered.

CHEAPER SCABBIES
DIP APPROVED

Washington, D C., Sept. 26.-The
use of a weak solution of nicotin in
dipping scabby sheep and cattle is ap-
proved in an order issued today by the
secretary of agriculture. This dipping
solution differs from that hitherto re-
quired, by the elimination of sulphur.
Changes have been made following
a series of careful experiments in the
effort to cheaper the expense of dip
ping scabby animals and at the same
time to insure the effectiveness of
such treatment. Due largely to the
heavy requirements for sulphur in wal
industries the price of this element
has greatly increased. In the dip as
formerly made up, therefore, two
comparatively costly substances were
used. 1t is believed that the elimina-
ton of one of these substances will
materially decrease the cost of this
dip.
In addition to approving the use of
a dipping solution in which nicotin is
the active agent, the United States de-
partment of agriculture also approves
the use of a lime and sulphur solution
in the official dipping of sheep and
cattle for scabbies .
