Il with us for so long that most
- of the folks failed to recognize
him when he came on the stage last
night at the Boyd. He didn't seem
to notice this, aud went on with his
entertainment just as it nothing had
happened. Thus he endeared himself
to quite a gathering OF home folks,
who appeared 10 have real good
time as the evening went along. His
revue" contains about everything
that is supposed to so into one, ex-
eept that il does not pretend to bur
lesoue any popular play. 1t is Just
odds and ends, full OF novelty, sing
ng, dancing, clever Glowing and al
ways refreshing funmaking. Mr..
Norworth's own share OF the even
ing is of the sort that endeared him
TO the people of the west long before
he was discovered by Broadway; not
that he has made no progress, but
that time has not lessened his APP
probation of the delicate line that
separates good and bad fun.
However, we have Harry Watson,
IT., with US, in an assortment OF
stunts, unhackneyed and rich with
humor; Jack Coogan, with his dances
and his songs; Ubert Carlton and
Jay Dillon, who also can sing and
might dance il it were put up to them
strong enough; Sue Creighton, who
is little devil in her way; Miss
Betty Davis, and others. each OF
whom adds something in an individual
way as we'll as taking full share
in the general endeavor, to the delight
Of everybody else.
Finally, there is Betty Parker, beau
tilul and sprightly, who cuts a variety
of capcrs, and with Mr.. Norworth
sings the best song Of the bill, Fancy
You Fancying Me" And when at last
the orchestra director suggests that
they all sing couple of choruses
and call it days work, nobody
grumbles, for the evening has been
we'll spent by any who are just seek

Maud Fealy at the Brandeis.
"The, Little Teacher" a comedy
drama of unusual kind, captured its
first Omaha audience at the Brandeis
theater last night by making strong
appeal to the better instincts OF hui
manity. Maud Fealy has the role of
Emily West, a pretty, practical and
ingenious school teacher who comes
into the sordid life of Goshen Hol-
low, a village in the Vermont Hills.
Miss West succeeds admirably in re-
generating and rejuvenatlng these
down east villagers who lean back
wards in their ideas of righteousness.
She sees the truth because there is
love in her eyes and the character
is made the more lovable because she
is self-sacrihcing in her ministrations
The less you know. the less wrong
you know" is characteristic of her
philosophy Two sweet children
whom Emily West takes unto her
heart and protects against a drunken
father and woman who is not, after
all, their mother. furnish much OF the
interest Of the play.
Mrs. Caldwell and Miss Mech are
the two lean-backwards busybodies
portrayed by Emily Francis and Min
mic Stanley. Pug and Batiste. lum-
tcrjacks, are played by Clyde Fill
more and Adrian H. Rosley. Mrs.
