AT THE
THEATERS

Vaudeville's greatest entertainer,
Ben WEIGH, appears at the Gayety
theater twice daily all week with his
justly famous big show. There is
something about Ben WEIGH and his
big show which commends itself to
amusement lovers. The first part and
burlesque are just jolly bits of TOM
foolery that are never loud, never
vulgar, always refined and never fail
to send away we'll satisfied audi
ence at the close of the performance.
There are two hours and a half of
music, song and drollery with never
a minute that is slow or dull-in
other words, it is one round of jollity
from the rise to fall of the curtain.
The comedians are exceedingly
funny, the chorus girls are decidedly
pretty, the songs have points to them
and the music is catchy. There are
striking and effective stage costumes,
elaborate scenery, stage pictures that
please the eye and snatches of COM
edy that make you laugh in spite of
yourself. Besides Ben Welch, the
cast includes Dolly Morrissey, Ev-
elyn Cunningham, Pat Kearney,
Frank P. Murphy, frankie Martin,
George B. Alexander, Jack Barton,
and singing and dancing chorus
of 20.
Labor day yielded to the Orpheum
capacity attendance, both for the mat
inee and evening performance. Mon
day evening, being society night,
greatly augmented the patronage for
the current show which is headed by
the patriotic allegory. "All for De-
mocracy." Another notable feature
of the bill is the American prima
donna, Llora Hoffman. Her act is
a high class concert number. A
dainty skit is contributed by J. K.
Emmett and Mary E. Ryan. They
present a fantasy called "Wishland."
Fifty miles of film were used to
photograph Annette Kellerman's new
sea production, Queen of the Sea-"
What is unquestionably the best ex-
position of what Our Boys" have
to contend with Over There" is the
stellar attraction at the Empress
theater for the first half of the week
"On the Frontier of Freedom" pro-
duced, staged and presented by Capt.
L. E. Ransom, late of the American
expeditionary forces and 1t. ]. F.
Hewitt of the Royal flying corps,
British army.
1t was fortunate thing for Ameri-
can theater-goers when Montague
Glass and Jules Eckert Goodman de-
cided to transfer the activities of the
celebrated partners, ABE" Potash
and "Mawruss" Perlmutter, from the
cloak and suit business to the more
novel and interesting world of the
movies. The result of this inspira-
ton is Business Before Pleasure"
the great Eltinge theater comedy
success of the season 1918. which
A. H. Woods is presenting at the
Boyd theater this week. 1t is as
movie magnates in Business Before
Pleasure" the third and latest of the
famous series of Potash and Perlmut-
ter comedies, that "Abe" Potash and
"Mawruss" Perlmutter are presented
at their funniest and most whimsical.

Wyoming Potato Growers
Seek Market for Large Crop

i Martin Dimery, former secretary
of the First Trust company of Oma-
ha, now engaged in the banking busi-
ness in Wyoming, with headquarters
at Riverton, is in Omaha trying to ar
range some means for the marketing
and storage of the immense potato
crop of the Riverton district this fall
and winter.
Out potato crop this year is one
of the best we have ever had," said
he., "Spuds this year are in most
cases II inches long and eight inches
in circumference. They are sound
and good from center to jacket and as
smooth as a pebble. There is not
protuberance or scab on them. The
quality was never so high.
"Unless we can have cars for the
transportation of these potatoes to
the eastern market right soon, our
entire crop is threatened with de-
struction, and this will mean a tre-
mendous and disheartening loss to
our growers, as we'll as an irrepair-
able waste of food supplies of the
country"

bazaar opened at 2 o'clock in the aft
crnon until midnight.
Every one in the numerous booths
that line the main fll-r of the build
ing did land office business and each
was surrounded day and night with
crowds of patrons.
The Bohemian ladies are noted for
their exquisite needlework and these
were favorite booths, though the
country grocery store and the meat
markets were literally patronized.
A large sum of money is being real
lied for the Czecho- -Slovak army fund
and there is every indication that the
event will not only be a great social,
but also an immense financial sue
cess.
Milligan Sends $1,000.
Charles E. Stanicka, manager of
the bazaar, received a check Monday
from the Bohemians of Milligan,
Neb., for $4,000 as a contribution
to the fund and was promised $1,000
more from the same source.
Over $500 was realized from the
sale of buttons last Saturday, which
was tag day." OF this $500 was
raised on the South Side The same
young ladies who disposed of the
10000 buttons on Saturday, were at
work disposing of more buttons at
Krug park, Monday, among the
crowds. They met with enthusiastic
response from the picnickers and will
realize a comfortable sum from that
source
On the opening day of the bazaar
the ladies who conduct the apron
booth sold over 5000 of their products
and the ladies of the Bohemian

the fancy work booth, did equally

Ed WoIverton to Go East;
MAY Head Insurance Club

Ed. Wolverton will leave Tuesday
for months trip to the east. He will
go direct to Boston. From there he
will go to New London, Conn.,, where
the international convention of the
100000 club will be held. This is an
organization of life insurance men,
and Wolverton will probably be de-
clared either president or vice presi-
dent because he has sold more life
insurance in the last year than any
other agent in his company. After the
convention he will spend week in
New York and a week in Washing
ton, visiting his brother, Capt. David
Wolverton of the quartermaster' 5
corps. and other Omaha people.
