Washington, March 1.-THE posi-
bility of a coalition organization
agreement between democrats and
republicans in the incoming house,
which meets April l6, was consider
ably lessened today, in the opinion
of many members by the announce
ment of Representative Schall, pro-
gressive, of Minnesota, one of the
five so-called independents. that he
would not be party to an independ-
ent movement which would block i'm
portant legislation.
As the bipartisan plan originally
was preached only to defeat dead
lock should the independents refuse
to support either a republican or a
democrat for speaker, leaders of both
big parties tonight foresaw an aban-
donment of the movement.
Republicans generally accepted the
development as meaning an additional

Bowery Show at
Gayety Gets It's
Customary Sendoff

The "Bowery Burlesquers," the
show that has been rollicking across
the boards ever since burlesque itself
was a baby, burst into Omaha last
night with brand new line of laugh
terrified folly, catchy music and
lot of fair women, especially funny
Bill Foster and eccentric Frank Har-
court, captured the Gayety audience.
Foster and Harcourt are a precious
pair of smile makers, original and
versatile. They have one scene that
is a winner. Harcourt acts as a doc
tor and little Billy Foster is the
patient. There's a laugh in nearly
every line of the clever skit, which
occupies about twenty minutes. To
hear and to see Foster sing is an
other treat. Harcourt and his diminu-
tive partner stage series of dia-
logues which scintillate with satire
and wit. Foster has developed his
power of facial expression to an art.
His face is part of his fortune.
The costumes and scenery used in
the show are beautiful and elaborate
enough to reflect the prodgal purse
of Joe Hurtig. And, true to Hurtig's
custom, the cast includes the usual
beef line" The adjective fiat"
would not SANDER some of the chorus
girls and the word lean" could not
be applied to any one of them. The
result is that they sing better than
they dance, but they all know how to
wear clothes and they have many
gowns which are things of beauty.
Libby Hart probably cornered
more admiration of the audience than
other girls with the show. She can
sing and she looks good. She per-
petrates an Hawaiian song and makes
a hit with it. Pauline Pauly is urged
to several encores, because OF her
rendition of More Lonesome Than
You" Edna Green and Grace Ander-
son contribute several numbers that
win applause.
