AT THE THEATERS

| TULIAN ELTINGE and his con-
pany of entertainers afforded
much merriment at the Bran
deis yesterday, where they started
their engagement with matinee
performance. While Mr.. Eltinge
with his graceful and effective im-
presentations, is the center of the
show, around him revolve number
OF really interesting performers.
Chief of these, Marie Meeker on the
swinging rings, the Arnaut brothers
in their funny musical Glowing, and
Cleo Gascoigne, midget prima
donna, lose nothing for having been
seen before. The Lavars, who open
the show are vigorous dancers, who
keep moving all the time they are in
sight. Another pair of dancers we'll
worth watching is Gorhada and Fiji.
Sidney Grant pleaded a bad cold
last night, his hoarseness being evil
dent, and necessarily had to curtail
his contribution. His stories are
we'll told, witty and enjoyable, and
when he RECEIVERS his singing voice
he should aid materially in making
the time pass pleasantly.
Mr.. Eltinge has long put behind
him his efforts to deceive, and now
frankly assumes the feminine role.
However he does it with growing
dizziness and increasing certainty,
and presents the Juno type very eff
fectively. His understanding of the
graceful ways, the many dainty
touches, mannerisms and movements
of the ladies is marvellous, constitut-
ing a real tribute to the art of the
husky man who can do it so very
well. His songs are new and we'll
sung, and in one he dresses as a
bride such as any groom might feel
proud to meet at the chancel rail.
A little sketch, "His Night at the
Club" closes the bill. In this bit
of comedy the star uses his art to
full advantage, and even after he is
discovered, sings his best song with
out getting out of the role of the
dashing widow.
1.-THE Birth of a Race" which
opened a weeks stay at the Boyd
on Sunday afternoon, is a combina-
ton of allegory, Biblical lore and
modern history. Starting with
creations dawn, in the Garden of
Eden, it successfully pictures the
expulsion, the effects of the fall in
the growth of the human race and
its increasing wickedness to the
days of Noah, the building of the
ark, the food, the slavery of Israel
in Egypt and the exodus, the
preaching of Christ, his trial before
Pontius Plate, the Via Dolorosa,
and the storm between the third
and ninth hours, with a final
glimpse of Calvary. All this is done
with utmost reverence, accompanied
by explanatory texts, giving connec-
ton to and application of the
scenes to the main story that fol-
lows. Leaving the Bible, the voy-
age and landing of Columbus is
pictured. All this is allegorically
depicted by stranger to the kaiser
at a council where he has deter
mined on war. He refuses to heed
the warnings of sacred and profane
history, but determines to send to
America agents to sow discord
among the people and keep them
from coming into the war. Now
begins the modern picture, showing
German and ain Irish family In
New York. The intercourse, the
effects of the propagandists and
the final outcome are all wildly por-
trayed. The composition is good.

South Dakota NimrodS
Organize in Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 23-(Spe-
cial to The Bee)-The movement
for the organization of a state
sportsmen's association which re-
Gently was inaugurated in this city,
is meeting with favor among sports
men throughout South Dakota and
at a meeting to be held in Sioux
Falds Friday it is expected such an
association will be perfected
Under the present fish and game
laws of the state no license is re-
CURED for fishing. The new asso-
citation will ask the enactment OF
legislation requiring licenses for
fishing for everyone except women
and children. 1t also will be de-
manded that the policy Of the state
game and fish commission be chang
ed, so that there will be an expendi-
ture of the receipts from game Ii
censes for the benefit of the game
hunters. 1t will be further de-
manded that some of these receipts
for licenses be used in eondemning
or purchasing the grounds now
forming duck passes and other hunt
ing grounds it is claimed that most
Of the duck passes of the state now
are falling into the hands Of privatS
parties. to the detriment of ducs
hunters.
The new association will further
demand that the state game preserve
in the Black Hills be supported by
direct taxation and appropriation in
stead of out of the state game fund,
as at present; that the expense OF
improving lakes and waterways
where such improvement does not
directly improve the fishing or hunt
ing conditions, should be borne by
direct taxation instead of out of the
state game fund; that the expeudi-
ture of the receipts from approxi-
mately $4,000 residents of the state
for the privilege of hunting, for the
maintenance of the state game pre-
serve and the improvement of lakes
and waterways instead of for the
general Improvement of hunting
conditions is unjust and unfair. The
present session of the legislature
will be asked to enact into law the
changes which the new association
is demanding.

the pictures being genuinely I'M
pressive and some thrilling, es-
pecially the mob scenes in Jerusa-
lem, when the populace, excited to
madness by the priests, clamors
for the release of Barabbas and the
cruciixion of Christ. Special music
adds greatly to the enjoyment OF
the pictures.
Hobart Bosworth's characterize
ton Of Wolf Larsen, in his own
dramatization of Jack Londons
The Sea Wolf" commanded ser"
ious and approbative attention yes
terday at the Orpheum, where this
stirring dramatic act was offered in
connection with a program of gen
eral excellence. A prologue to the
act is shown in motion pictures
which connect with the scene on
the stage. showing the decks of the
hell ship" Ghost. For dramatic
purposes the whole gamut of Wolf
Larsen's nature and philosophy OF
life is run in this brief vaudeville
act, but the presentation is stirring
The argument Of the life of Larsen
is expressed in London's own
words, verify sadness is ever the
penalty the materialist pays for his
materialism." Moral strength is not
factor in his scheme of life. Carol
Ashburn appears as Humphrey Van
Weyden and Ida Stanhope has the
role of Maud Brewster.
Virginia DAILY, Mayme LaRue,
Helen Hammond and Gertrude
Moody, The Four Buttercups,"
made a hit with their musical act
in which quartet numbers called for
more. Harry and Grace Ellsworth
are clever entertainers in song and
dance numbers, Mr.. Ellsworth's &C.
robatic dancing being a feature OF
the bill. Ethel Davis and Freddie
Rich offer Sings a la Carte" Grace
Nelson won three encores yester-
day afternoon. Lester Crawford
and Helen Broderick sing and
chatter. Archie and Gertie Falls
have an acrobatic novelty. The
Kinogram screen news of the world
and the Orpheum travel weekly are
the motion picture offerings in con-
nection with the vaudeville NUM-
bers.
The bill for the first half of the
week at the Empress is headed by
the Eight Corn Cob Cut Ups"
singing and dancing act of merit.
Hazel Hickey pianist, and Miss
Hart, who possesses a sweet So
prano voice, render a series of selec-
tons which also scored with the
audience yesterday. Miss Maybelle
Phillips, Sunshine Coincidence"
uses a series of songs and stories
which kept the crowd in an up
roar, and Jack Cahill and Done
Romine have an odd comedy skit,
entitled "a Comedy Mix-up," which
also made a hit at the opening
show.
The Douglas county court house
will by no means be the only pub
lie edifce in Omaha this week that
will shelter an influx of the legal
fraternity. Reference is made to
the Gayety theater, where "Slitkin
& Slotkin, Refined Lawyers, in the
persuasive personages of Watson
& Cohan, are appearing with Barney
Gerald's Girls de Looks" The
production is staged and costumed
in the customary thorough Barney
Gerard manner, which means there
is nothing overlooked or to be de-
sired. Ladies dime matinee daily,
all week, at 2.l5.

Dan Desdune's Famous
Band Pleases Large
Crowd at Auditorium

Dan Desdunes' famous negro
band delighted a large audience at
the Auditorium yesterday afternoon,
by rendering with unusual skill, a
program of music much above the
ordinary. The band, which now con-
tains some As pieces, is we'll bal
anced. and the range Of the program
dispelled all doubt as to their abll-
ity to play either classical or rag
time music. ]. Frank Terry, as the
trombone soloist, who played The
Rosary" and asleep in the Deep"
was called back several times, and
was one of the big hits of the pro-
gram. Another big hit on the pro-
gram was the cornet and baritone
duets by Harry Morton and jeff
Smith. The "Misserere" from all
Trovatore," was unusually pleasing.
While the printed program ran
mostly to classical and semi-classi-
cal selections, a number of rags"
were scattered through, mostly as
encores, and these pieces seemed 10
please the audience more than the
classical selections.
