Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-09-27

ing Al, and listening to. Milton
Dawson and John J. Ward share in
the funmaking and the three Muir
docks, with their grotesque dancing,
astonish onlookerS. No more supple,
nimble or original dancers ever fit
ted over local stage. AS to the
chorus-Mr. Carries eyesight is such
that he must wear glasses on the
stage at all times, but it has never
failed when it comes to picking a
chorus. And the girls can sing and
dance, too.
A word about the music. Alex
ander tombstone, who is directing
the tour, is also the composer. He
not only has the faith to thus sup
port his score, but he has provided
a score that is worthy of support.
You will listen in vain for familiar
strains, but you will be charmed BY
the subtle melodies that run through
it all. Only a bit of "jazz" is pro-
vided, just enough to support a sim
gle dance number, while the flow
of theme is sustained by well-bal-
anced composition of reak harmony
of such simplicity as to please with
out obtrusiveness.
Matinee and evening perform
ances today end the short engage
ment and attendance of those who
enjoy musical comedy is recon-
Today's matinee starts the popu-
lar Gayety's bumper week of the
entire season, as everybody who
comes to Omaha to join in the fes-
tivities firmly believe that their
Omaha "trip would be failure with
out an afternoon or evening" spent
at the Gayety. The "Rdscland
Girls" is the name of the big musi-
ca; burlesque attraction secured for
the week and it happens that it
will ne the only girl and music show
in the city thrc rphout the week.
Harry Coleman and Bert Lair are
the principal comedians. The c,s~
tunes and scenes are gorgeous. To-
morrow's matinee starts at 3.
This is the final day of the popu-
lar Orpheum bill headed by the
sparkling musical comedy, ga Reck-
less Eve" Patrons are reminded
that as usual on Saturday night,
the curtain is to rise early this
evening at $40 o'clock. Opening
with the matinee Sunday, the show
is to be headed by one of the fun
niest low comedians of the stage
in two burlesque sketches. The
star is Harry Watson, jr, who was
last seen in Omaha as a conspicu-
Gus feature of Jack Norworth's init
mate revue. In that show Mr.. Wat
son was exceptionally funny on his
travesty of the prize fighter and
also in his telephone scene. Two
featured acts will be Eddie Nelson
and Dell Chain in "Use Your Own
Judgment" and the interesting
novelty, the Chinese Jazz Band with
20 instrumentalists. The bill is
proclaimed one Of the best of the
season to date, and is especially we'll
selected for Ak-Sar-Ben week.
Seats are selling rapidly for the
of the popular Irish
actor singer, Fiske O'Hara, who will
be seen at the Brandeis theater for
eight days beginning tomorrow, in
his new romantic comedy, Down
Limerick Way" by Anna Nichols.
This charming comedy of the love
adventures Of Sir Daniel Darragh,
gallant young blade, whose sister is
trying to marry him off, gives Mr.
O'Hara an ideal role for his varied
talents. The company is an excel
ent one, and the production of an
elaborate nature. There is a spe-
:ial augmented orchestra that is
carried en- tour for Mr.. O'Hara's
song selections, and he will also
render special selections between
he acts.
One of the real hits Of the sea-
'on is "Quakertown To Broadway"
}. B. Berg's latest musical comedy
success, which headlines the bill at
he Empress this last half. Music
# the most popular character pre-
dominates, in the offering of Nelson
Waring, pianist. He is also singer
If note and renders a delectable
epertoire of new song numbers that !
IRE most effective.
