Orpheum-Like viii NJ. Cressy. who sttfred
Omaha up on the Liberty bond drive last
week. J. c. Nugent, another Orpheum star,
writes all his own playlets. Mr.. Nugent Is
presenting THE Squarer" this week. Mr..
Nugents droll methods and the funny dia-
logue in THE Squarer' distinguish the Of
fering from any that has come TO the Or
pheum. On the current Orpheum bill Mr..

Boyd-The afternoon and evening per-
formances today are the last opportunities
to see Richard Bennett In THE Very Idea"
a comedy which has repeated its New York
success in Omaha. II you are a bit squeam-
ish on certain subjects you may possibly
exclaim the title of the play. but If you
enjoy good fun and the work Of clever,
witty man, you cannot fail to laugh heart
lily at the dialogue and situation from the
rise of the curtain until the finish.
Gayety-A most necessary adjunct to any
musical buriesque cast is the straight man
so called, because he appears as he is,
without the disguise of grotesque makeup.
Aside from generally being the heart for
the leading woman or ingenue he acts as a
feeder for the COMICS whose work, the
greater part OF the time, would fall flat,
During fhe entire season at the Gayety no
more competent straight man has graced
that stage than Raymond Paine. Next sea
son at this time he hopes to be at the front
in France. Ladies matinee daily.
Empress-The story Of "Marcelle" the mu
scal comedy which Is TO be presented at
the Empress for the last times today, is
pretty one. All the plotting is done to the
lilt OF melodius music and song. In most
part by some very charming young women.

headed by Ed Wynn, Justine Johnstone Joe
Laurie and Aleen Bronson and the very ia
nous Omaha children, Fred and Adele

British Aviator of TWenty-tWo Is the Most Successful of
 Air Fighters.
DOWNS 54 ENEMY PLANES
Captain McCudden Wins the Victoria Cross and About Every Other Honor His Government Can Bestow
 for GaIlantry.

London.-Wherever flying men or men interested In flying meet today, be it in Britain or at the British front in France, there is only one name on their lips. It is that of Capt. James Byford McCudden, who has just been awarded the Victoria cross, the most honorable decoration that British valor can win, and who, in receiving 1t, has been officially revealed as the greatest and most successful air fighter, living or dead, that the allies have yet produced. Captain McCud- den, who is only twenty-two, has big ger bag of hostile machines brought down than Bishop, Guynemer or Ball, or any other flying man that the war has brought forward, with the single exception of Baron von Richthofen, who recently was killed in action.
 McCudden's record of hostile ma chimes accounted for up to February 27 was 54. Of these 42 were definitely destroyed-four of them in just 90 minutes, 19 falling on the British side of the lines. Only 12 out of the 54 were driven down out of control.
 No wonder that, in recounting the feats of the young British champion, even the writers of the sober Official Gazette are inspired to use the Ian guage of enthusiastic admiration. They tell us that Second Lieut.. Temporary Captain) James Byford McCudden, D. S. O., M. C., M.

 The distinguished service order was bestowed on him for conspicuous gallantry on November 29, 1917, when he attacked and brought down an en- emy two-seater within our lines, both occupants being taken prisoner He also encountered an enemy machine during very bad weather conditions at 2,OO0 feet and fought 1t down to height of 100 feet, when 1t was de- stroyed. Captain McCudden came down to within a few feet of the ground in the enemy's lines and finally crossed the line at a very low altitude. Subsequent to the award of the bar to the military cross he had been respoL- sible for the destruction of seven enc my machines. two of which fell within our lines.
 For his skill and gallantry on No vember 23, 1917, Captain McCudden was awarded a bar of the distin- guished service order.

C0L0RED DCOLLARSIN PARIS
White Neckpiece Gives Way to Differ. ent Welcomed Shades-Strlped
 and Checked Ginghams.

A letter from Paris says that the white collar has given way to col. ored one. Gowns of jersey, volle and serge carry broad handkerchief collars of plaid gingham. Dark suits and one piece frocks carry high, rolling col lars and broad, gauntlet cuffs of blue, rose, lavender and yellow organdie edged with filet lace or with the or gandie itself.
 The use of brilliantly striped and checked gingham for entire collars has met with approval in France, although 1t is still a question in abeyance over here.
 The prophecy is that America VIII take to these collars with eagerness' We like glngham. Whenever we get chance to wear 1t we rush in and al' most spoil it by overpopularity.

It may be accepted as fact that jersey cloth, in silk or wool, is as popular as ever it was; even more popular, according to prominent fashion correspondent. Several of our leading dressmakers state that jersey cloth has come to stay. That 1t is as much necessity in the world of dress as serge or satin. This particular model was expressed in dull blue silk jersey and embroidered in smoke-gray silks and soutache.
 This combination of blue and gray is very fashionable. For quiet afternoon dresses, navy blue jersey cloth is made up with smoke-gray satin, and with the best results.

American Doctor Sends Message to Family Written Under Stamp

Auburn. Neb.-Just before Doctor Wilkie, a well-known physician of this city, went to war he told relative. that if he was ever captured bv ina Germans he would communicate with them, and that they must look under the postage stamp to get the real cond,. ditions if harm befell him.
 A few days ago the family received letter from him, written from a Ger. man prison camp. It was the stereo- typed message, saying he was well etc. Much of it was deleted by the censor.
 The letter was laid aside until some one remembered what the doctor had said about message under the stamp The stamp was carefully removed. Urs der 1t he had written these words:
 "They have cut out my tongue."
