AT THE
THEATERS
Business Before Pleasure"

A S ABE POTASH sententiously
IA remarked of the scenario of
AA THE Fatal Murder" Business
Before Pleasure" which opened the
season at the Boyd Sunday night,
could have occurred in real life.
All of its witty dialogue, every one
of its ridiculous situations are pos
sibility, provided there is an Abe
Potash, Mawruss Perlmutter, a
Rosie Potash, Ruth Perlmutter, a
Rita Sismundi, movie vampire, and a
dissipation like the moving picture
game to tempt the activities OF men
who made a romance OF the suit
and cloak business. to provide the We
hicle for a coherent tale.
Business Before Pleasure" is one
continuous chuckle and storm Of
laughter from start to finish. 1t is
a unique adaptation of the moving
picture play to the stage, with its liv-
ing actors, and some of the cleverest
lines are interpreted on the screen as
are some of the most ludicrous
scenes.
As usual Jules Jordan made his
Abe Potash the same lovable char
acter as he has in the past. He in
terprets the senior partner of the
firm, with all his weakness and
strength, in a way that brings the
laugh just at the moment when there
should be cheer or tear for some
expression of manly loyalty, and for
some impulsive chivalrous action.
Charles Lipson has added to his
laure1s in the character of Mawruss
Perlmutter. Lizzie Wilson and Lot
tie Vernon as Rosie and Ruth, loyal
but jealous and suspicious wives
were excellent and the work of Helen
Gill, as Rita Sismondi, the vampire"
possessed great charm.
The whole of the company is we'll
balanced and the play is one con-
tinuous purveyor of joy.

one ADMISSION
FOR COUNTY FAIR
AND Ak.SAR.bEN
Best Agricultural Exhibit Ever
Seen Here to Be Feature
of Fair on Carni- J
val Dates.

The Douglas county fair, to be held
in conjunction with the Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities on the carnival grounds
this year, promises one Of the best
agricultural exhibits yet shown in the
county, says James Walsh and }. r.
MeArdle, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the Douglas County Ag-
ricultural society.
The fair will open the day the car
nival opens, September Is, and will
continue until the carnival closes, ten
days later, October S. Admission to
the carnival grounds also will entitle
one to admission to the fair.
Good Show Secured.
Plans for the Kings carnival are
proceeding apace. Special efforts
were made by Samson to secure the
best how on the road today and the
Con. T. Kennedy shows have accord
ingly been booked. They are playing
at Peoria, ILL.,, this week and will play
at Sioux City the week before coming
to Omaha. Adverse railroad condi-
tions, which are affecting the sched-
ules of many circuses and shows on
the road this year, will not interfere
with bringing the Kennedy shows to
Omaha, says dad" Weaver, for auto->
mobile trucks can easily be supplied,
if need be, to bring the shows from
Sioux City.
Following the custom of former
years, the Den will be dark Monday
evening. The many other attractions
in the city on Labor day would in
terfere with the den performance, it
is felt.
The merchants visiting the city to
attend Merchants Market week, which
begins September 9, will be the guests
at the Den for the last show of the
season on Monday evening, Septem-
Der 9, together with the usual dele
CATION of soldiers from Fort Omaha
and as many soldiers as can be spared
from Fort Crook.
N Pennants for Lincoln.
A fresh group of 100 soldiers which
have just arrived at the latter post
will help swell the number of visitors.
Gus Renze is keeping mum about
the theme of the electrical parade on
the evening of Wednesday, October
2. He is hard at work constructing
the floats for the pageant, however,
and the promise is that his latest
effort will outdo all his earlier produc-
tions.
Ak-Sar-Ben members who expect to
attend the state fair at Lincoln on
Omaha day, Thursday, September 5,
should call at the Ak-Sar-Ben office
Wednesday afternoon to secure pen
nants and badges for their cars. Park
ing space will be reserved at the fair
grounds for automobiles from Omaha.

Chicago in February, 1918, when ap-
plication was made on behalf of the
commission for search warrant un-
der a section of the espionage act

ed the warrant.
"The result OF the commission
course was not to give information

pose to inaugurate government own

ing the report says:
The commission again showed lis
lack of responsibility by giving such
form and content to report as to
make general charges of calumi-
NOUS nature against business enter

with adequate facts. The commission
coucned its charges in sensational

Potatoes to Rot in West
Unless Cars Be Provided

Riverton, Wyo., Sept. I.-(Specia1)
Thousands of tons of potatoes,
raised in this section on the urgent
demand of the Food administration,
must be thrown out to rot unless
more satisfactory assurances can be
had that cars will be Forthcoming for
their shipment. A very greatly in
creased area has been planted to
potatoes this year, and the unusually
wet season has made the dry land
potato crop heavy. Last year many
hundred tons rotted because of a
lack OF cars, and unless better facili-
ties can be had this fall, the loss will
be enormous,

Vaudeville at the Orpheum.

A prima donna soprano whose per
formance is doubly attractive because
she sings her entire program in Eng
lish, wins first honors at the Orpheun
this week. She is Llora Hoffman.
Llora Hoffman limits her program
to four numbers but she would have
contributed several more had she
chosen to respond to the demands oi
her Sunday audience. She is possess
ed of an unusually strong and clear
voice as we'll as one of rich, sweet
melody and her expression is almost
faultless. She has adapted her pro-
gram for the variety stage by sing
ing selections more easily appreciated
by vaudeville audiences than those
usually sung by concert artists and
as a result, she scores heavily.
Carl Mccullough provides IS min,
utes of enjoyment and fun with his
travesties of how David Warfeld
Eddie Foye, Harry Lauder and others
would sing one of Al Jolson's fav'
orite songs. He also makes merry
in an imitation of woman trying to
make a telephone connection from a
pay station booth.
Dale and Burch have a making
sketch called the Riding Master"
which keeps the audience in a con-
slant chuckle with an outright laugh
inserted here and there.
An absurd farce called "The Office
Boy" is offered by Eddie Carr and
company. Eddie Carr is the prin-
cipal merry-maker appearing as the
"fresh" office boy who assumes
charge of the place Immediately upon
his arrival. ]. K. Emmet and Mary
Ryan appear in "Wishland," musical
romance in which they have been
seen here before. "All for Demo-
cracy" is a patriotic allegory. "An
Artistic Treat" is the simple title of
a posing act which opens the bill.

FINANCIAL OPINION
BY financial Editor.

After such an exhibition as the
market has given the past week, one
cannot but have a great deal Of
confidence in the maintenance Of
the present level. With the eXcep-
ton Of, perhaps. one or Ntwo weak
spots. apparently only the prospect
OF a defeat or the allied cause could
produce any real volume OF liquida-
ton. II stocks will not go down in
the face Of such a threat as we have
had. it seems a natural conclusion
that. i'm the long run, they must 80
up. There may we'll intervene how
ever, quite a considerable time yet
with no decided tendency. The
tightness in the money market alone
would initiate against any extends
ed advance. Meantime. values con-
tinue to accumulate. When the
country can make the arts Of peace,
and not of war. its principal bust
ness, this is the factor that should
count.
StUdebaker is a peace stock, its
earnings prove that: under the pres
ent highly efficient mana cement
earnings will improve even with
war. but the real benefits from
Studebaker will come with peace.
The dividend will he maintained and
with the present large short interest
I would not be surprised to see a
bear panic that would carry the
stock to so on any good news.
