Omaha daily bee., 1918-12-13
AT THE
THEAT Frs

y comedy with a decidedly in
teresting plot, was presented
at the Boyd Thursday night and will
be shown Friday and Saturday and
Saturday matinee. ;.
Charlotte Greenwood, as Lefty, /:
rather naughty, very human and en-
tirely lovable.
The whole show is full of girls
and there are 10 real song hits.
As the actors admit, the plot is
up-to-the-second. Letty's husband
Tom, (played by Jask Pollard), and
Gracie's husband, Harry, are sick Of
their wives and decide to SWAP
They encounter little difficulty in
convincing their wives that it is the
proper thing to do but finally the
women promise to try the new plan
for a week.
A lot of things happen during that
week. .
Tom has written a rich aunt in
New York about how big his family
is about to be and she arrives on
the scene with baby carriage tor
a gift at a crucial moment and
further complicates the situation.
The play ends with the husbands
going back to. their own homes and
falling in love again with their
honest to goodness" wives. /
Oliver Morosco has produced the
play, Elmer Harris, the lyrics and
Earl Carroll, the music.
The remarkable rain storm ef-
feet in Hearts Of the World" the
big Griffith photodrama now playing
at the Brandeis theater, is one OF the
most realistic bits of production
seen in Omaha in many seasons
The photography of the scenes
showing the hero crawling inside the
enemy's lines in the midst of a
driving rain is exceptionally beauti.
full and the accompanying sounds OF
rain and wind are produced with
such fidelity to nature that the il.
fusion is almost perfect. Robert
Harron displays unusual histrionic
ability as we'll as physical fortitude
for the action includes his lying for
some time in a shell hole filled with
water, after his experience In the
rain storm.
Another day after this remains
for you to enjoy one of the most
pleasing Orpheum shows that has
been offered this season. An elabo-
rate operate act, Nine. Doree's
Celebrities, is presented with cast
of ten admirable vocalists who i'm
personate famous stars of grand
opera. julius Tanner, the most
amusing monologist on the vaude-
vile stage, is another headline at
traction. His humor has the dis
tinetive stamp of his humorous per-
sonality. His dramatic recitation,
THE Father of the Marine" is yet
another admirable feature of his
performance. Albert Vertehamp, the
violin virtuoso, is 4 young man
who has distinguished hinlself on
the concert stage.
Leila Shaw Offered "There She
Goes Again." a farce comedy, with
her company, at the Empress
theater yesterday, where she will be
seen again today and tomorrow.
Miss Shaw is beautiful blonde &C
tress and her showing in this playlet
adds considerably to her reputation
as a player. The audience is taken
by surprise when the finish of the
act arrives and it is succession Of
real laughs and much applause.
As an additional feature at the
final performance of Cheer Up
American at the Gayety this even
ing, the second and last Of the

veloped no end of rivalry and it
