Omaha daily bee., 1919-11-13
@ AT THE
THEATER

- day will be 1.-THE Three Red
Peppers" trio of singers, come
dams and all around entertainers,
who are great favorites of patrons
Of vaudeville. Songs of today, jokes
OF recent vintage, together with
their exceptional ability, go to make
q most diverting entertaining num-
Der. Three men and two women,
eompise the Powell troupe, who do
more in mid-air on parallel tight
wires than many performers would
attempt on the ground. A sure
fire conner" in vaudeville is Jim
McWilliam, who plays the xylo-
phone and furnishes a program of
classical and popular songs. Harry
KILLER, and Lew King have a travel
ogue medley. They talk is bright
and witty and their songs brand
new.
Nothing more pleasing in the way
of comedy has been offered IN
long time than Civilian Clothes"
now playing at the Boyd. 1t his
number of delightful angles, is full
of clever lines, and is presented by
very capable company, headed by
William Countenay. If you want
war" play that has no war in it,
except that of wit and wills, see
this one, and have great evening
of pure fun. n
The large audiences at the Bran
deis this week nightly insist on sew
cral encores to each of the songs
sung by Chauncey Olcott in ma
cushla,' and the popular Irish star
does not hesitate to crafty their
wishes. "Tis An Irish Girl 1 Love
and She's Just Like YOU" bid fair
to outrival his world famous "My
Wild Irish Rose" The latter song
was written by Mr.. Olcott just 10
years ago on ship while on his
return from trip to the Emerald
Isle. A
Most eccentric dancers, it is said,
are merely grotesque. James Glenn:
J ons is one who has the distinction OF
being laughably absurd. At the Or
pheum this week he is one of the ex-
4 cellent company with which Bessie
Clayton has surrounded herself
Never has the Orpheum offered a
more pleasing display OF dances.
The most effective comedy feature
of the current bill is the skit con-
tributed by William Durham apd
Grace O'Malley.
Add not more than 10 more
choristers to the Bowery Bur-
lesquers as now delighting great
crowds at the Gayety theater and
you would have nothing short Of a
musical comedy spectacle that would
easily sell for $3. a seat, the highest
price that form of entertainment
ever brought in Omaha. The superb
settings are here, the costuming is
gorgeous and Comedians Foster and
Harcourt deal out clean laughs with
out numbers, and with it all the
Gayety retains its very popular scale
OF prices. Ladies' matinee at z:lo
daily.
