~ DINING to the Brandeis thea
ter tonight is Charles Dilling-
- hanl's "Chin Chin" the musical
comedy which is one of those tales
of love and wishing, common to the
Arabian Nights. All impossibilities
are crowded into it, jumbled to-
gether like the figures in a dream
and in the end it resolves itself into
a vehicle for the display of the clever
grotesqueries of the two clever
turn" artists, Walter Wills and
Roy Binder. Mr.. Wills, whose body
seems made of rubber, and whose
facial expressions change as quick
~ as the wheel of fortune, gives Us
Chin Hop HI. Paderewski, Mile
Faltoffski, a 6endarmee and a ven
triloquist, transformations accom-
panied by such curious tricks and
poses, such .turnbling, dancing, ifni-
tating. such running fire of jokes
ard fun-naking that the audience
fairly screams with laughter. Mr..
Binder gives us in rapid succession
Chin Hop 10. the widow. a coolie
and the ringmaster, lightning
changes of mood, manner and get-up
that provoke the audience to mirth.
No more diverting and entertaining
comics" have come this way for
many seasons. George Usher makes
an agreeable and picturesque Alad-
din.
The danseuse par excellence is
Violet Tree. an astonishing aero
batic. and step performer, whose
twinkling feet are full of speed and
syncopation, her number with Mr..
Wills, entitled, Dance Poetic" is
remarkable performance, ending
with surprise to the audience.
Chauncey Olcott comes to the
Brandeis Sunday night in Macushla,
that sweet story of life near Dub
lin, in which Mr.. Olcott. as Sir
Brian Fitzgerald, endeafs himself to
the audience as he enacts the dare
devil young man with romantic ten
denotes. This season Mr.. Olcott
brings four new songs which fit
right into the general scheme of the
story and add much to its pathetic
sweetness. Macushla is one of the
plays that will never grow old so
long as Mr.. Olcott takes the stel-
lar role.
Sunday at the Boyd for one per-
Torrance only, Europe's musical
sensation, "The Dancing Widow"
will be presented. "The Dancing
Widow" is not a moving picture.
Types will be introduced and around
the mistaken identities which they
cause, hinges the plot, which pro-,
duces laughs galore from curtain to
curtain. The score of the play con-
tains 20 distinctive musical hits that
are the vogue in both London and
Paris and are now being whistled
in New York.
The cast includes a number of
we'll known entertainers and large
chorus of beautifully gowned girls
that are heralded as young Ameri-
can beauties.

Pupils must be divided into three
classes, first cooperating pupils,
second dissenting pupils and third
pupils who are asleep and have no,

TIASHET 7Hom FIIMI AND
:pr4c,rO PLAY. OFFERINGS. FOR TO-DAY.

Rialto-There are many signifi-
cant "bits" of character in David
Wark Griffith's picture masterpiece,
Broken Blossoms" now running a.
the Rialto theater, that have great
deal to do with creating that at
mosphere" through which the true
poetic beauty of the picture is felt.
No writer can begin to describe the
true worth of this picture; 1t is so
big and so good that every man,
woman and child in Omaha should
see it. While the plot and scenes
were laid in far off China, country
foreign to most of us, all must adj
nit it was country where only
such scenes and character traits
could be secured. This photopic-
ture has received wonderful patron
age this week and will have its last
showing at the Rialto Saturday.
Moon - SOME of the striking
features of THE Missing Links" a
photopcture being shown at the
Moon theater, are an elopement,
run" on bank, murder mystery
and its solution. Robert Harron
and Norma Talmadge, the two stars
OF the drama, are the clippers. Har-
ron is a college youth who is sus-
PENDED for a boyish escapade. He
comes home to little town where
his father runs bank. At church
he sees Norma and they exchange
eiances.. From this OH things hap
pen fast for Robert He is charged
with gambling, afterwards arrested
on suspicion for the murder OF the
Justice of the peace of the village,
But like all good stories, matters are
cleared up. Roberts good name up
held and he and Norma are happy

last showing at the Moon Satur-
day.
Strand-Was ever an engaged pair
without at least one practical joking
relative-generally male-who never
loses an opportunity to kid the
lovers and play all sorts OF tricks
on them? Such character is played
BY Bobbie Bolder in Vivian Martin $
photopicture, His Official Fiancee,
which begins a two-day run at the
Strand theater today. The fact that
Monica Trant, played by Miss Mar
tin, and her supposedly cold-blooded
employer are not really engaged, but
merely posing as such for business
reasons, makes Boobies trough
stuff" and intimate illusions to their
future all the more embarrassing
and funnier than ever to the audi
ence. "His Official Fiancee" IS
screen comedy advancing new idea
in laugh-making.

lawyer remains q third-rate country

constructive statesman by the magic Of
certificate Of election. The American
people have managed to get rid of the
gross abuses that accompanied the
reign of Hannaism. They have sue
ceeded in overthrowing the special
privilege and corporation favoriteism
that controlled congress for so many
years, but in demanding honesty they
forgot to demand ability as well, and
they must now pay for that oversight.
Congress is what the American peo-
pie have made it, and the American
people, to their great misfortune, have
not finished their job. They will never
finish it until they find means of
bringing character and capacity back
to the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives. Having failed to do this,
they find themselves in a world crisis

LARGEST MUNITION FACTORY
TO BE ABANDONED

Washington, March l1.-Abandon-
ment of the Neville island ordnance
plant, planned as the largest munitions
factory in the world, was announced to-
day by the war department. Not only
will construction be stopped at once,
but the buildings already completed
VIII be dismantled and the tools and
machinery manufactured or nearing
completion will be transferred to other
government arsenals or sold The is
land itself, i'll the Ohio river near Pitts
burg, will be turned back to the orig
inal owners.
Cancellation of the project is abso-
lutte. Reports that the island would be
retained as the principal ordnance stor-
age depot for the eastern part OF the
United States were specifically denied
by the department s statement. For q
few months it will be utilized for stor-
age purposes and then the property will
be turned back to its former owners.
Designed primarily to supply the
needs of the army for the heaviest ar
tillery, the Neville island project was
pused from the day the site was defi-
nitely selected-May IA, 191s-untn the
signing of the arnistice removed the
urgent necessities for its operation. Tho
original plans called for the production
of fifteen fourteeninch rifles and
10000 fourteen-inch and sixteen-inch
shells per month. The army experts
had designed the machinery SO that it
could be adapted to the production of
eighteen-inch guns.
Construction and operation of the
Neville island project was undertaken
by the United States Steel corporation
''at the expense of the government and
with profit' under an agreement en-
tered into at the urgent request of the
war department.

M0NCELL CHOSEN
G. 0. P. LEADER

Washington, March 11.-Republican
organization for the majority control
of the next house was completed today
with Representative Frank w. Mondell
of Wyoming as the floor leader, Repre-
sentative Harold Knutson of Mime
sofa as whip and Representatives Wins
low, Massachusetts,; Moore, Pennsyl-
vania; Longworth, Ohio; Madden, Hin.
ois, and Dunn, New York, as the steer
ing committee to have charge of the
legislative program. Mr.. Mondell will
be chairman of this committee.
Selection of Mr.. Mondell was made
after Representative James r. Mann of
Illinois, Republican leader in the last
house, had refused to accept the post
when elected by the committee. As
Mr.. Mann has not been appointed to
any of the house committees he will be
left without place in the Republican
organization unless he accepts appoint.
ment to one or two vacancies existing
in few of the important committees.
Representative Longworth of Ohio
vainly sought to prevent the committee
taking up the floor leadership selection
at this time, and after Mr.. Mann's
nomination he refused to vote the Ohio
delegation, which he represented. The
representatives from Indiana, Idaho
and West Virginia also refrained from
voting but the only ballots cast against
Mr.. Mann were those of the twelve
Massachusetts Republicans, represented
by Representative Winslow, who was
campaign manager for Representative
Gillett in the recent speakership con-
test.
Committee members generally said
they expected the party conference, to
be called few days before the con-
gress meets in special session, would
ratify the selections made by the COM
mittee.
They regarded it as possible, how
ever, that Representative Longworth
may call the conferences attention to
the strict application of seniority in
committee selections and seek to upset
some of them.
Mr. Mondell, who seconded the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Mann for leader, was
elected easily, receiving 100 votes, with
90 votes cast as present and the re-
mainder as absent. On the preceding
ballot Mann received 154 votes, with
Representative Longworth of Ohio,
whose name was not formally presented
to the committee, receiving two votes.
Three candidates were nominated for
whip, but Mr.. Knutson received lis
votes against Al for Representative Ar
thur of Oregon and 90 for Representa-
tive vestal of Indiana. Representa-
tives Anderson, Minnesota; Reavis, Ne
braska, and Scott, Michigan, were un'
successful nominees for places on the
steering committee, the votes for the
successful candidates being Winslow,
1911. Moore, 175 ;Longworth, ITS; Mad
den, 1888, and Dunn, 1877.
Final approval of committee assign
ments will be made by the committee
on committees at a meeting next Thurs
day. Representatives Mann and Moore
Of Indiana were named to check the as
signments and fill any vacancy in the
Republican roster. A few important
assignments, including appointment Of
member of the appropriations com
nittee to fill the vacancy that will re
suit from Mr.. Mondell's election 81
floor leader, remain to be filled.

DAMAGE CASE MUST BE TRIED
ON ITS MERITS.

Efforts by the Johnson Iron Works
to extricate itself from damage suit
filed in the United States District
Court some time ago proved futile
Saturday. The action is based on the
death of a workman named George
Creath caused by the explosion of an
acetylene torch while Creath was re-
pairing a tank in the steamship Free
port Sulphur No. l. Judge Foster de-
cided that the works, together with
the FreepOrt Sulphur Transportation
Company, owner of the vessel, would
have to stand trial on the merits. He
gave the Johnson Iron Works fifteen
days to answer the petition of Mrs.
Camilla Colorado Creath. widow of the
victim.
