AT THE
r HEATERS


NTUART WALKER has "achiev-
~ ed a new triumph in "The
~ Laughter of the Gods, writes
the New York Evening Sun of Janu-
airy 10. of this play by Lord Dun
sany, the we'll known Irish dramatist
which had its American premiers on
the opening bill of Stuart Walkers
season at the Punch and Judy
theater, January IS. There is no re-
sisting the imaginative spell Of Lord
Dunsany, writes John Corbin in the
Times.
"The Laughter Of the Gods" tells
the story of an ancient king who
leaves his capital city with his queen
and court and journeys to the jungle
city of Thick, which pleases him SO
nightly that he decides never to
leave it. The prospect of an endless
exile displeases the ladies Of the court
so much that they stir up their hus-
bands, who hatch a conspiracy. They
force the court prophet to make a
prophecy that if King Karnos and
his retinue do not depart within
three days the city will be destroyed.
The king and his followers are all
religious skeptics; it is only the
queen who feels the approaching
doom. And the cruel laughter of
the gods rings out when they make
the false prophecy of the intimidated
prophet turn into true prophecy by
destroying the city. The scene is a
gorgeous room in the palace, rich in
color, and the fall Of the city is a
magnificent spectacle.
Favorites Of the current bill are
the attractive vocalists, Florence
Merritt and Gaby Bridewell, who
offer bits of mirth and melody. The
eccentric pantomiine comedian,
Reno, is one Of the most laughable
clowns ever to appear on the vaude-
vile stage. The headline attractions
of this, one Of the most popular
Orpheum bills to have played Oma-
ha in many weeks, are the melo-
drama, "On the High Seas" and the
humorous story-teiier, Walter c.
Kelley. One of the feature acts is
the extremely laughable sketch,
"Off and On" offered by Ed Flana-
gan and Nicely Edwards.
This afternoon and evening will
witness the closing performance of
"Mary's Ankle" at the Boyd, where
it has been entertaining large audi
ences all week.
On Thursday evening the
Faversham Elliott engagement opens
at the Boyd The play is Lord and
Lady Algy,1 in which the company
has been well received in New York
and on the road. The sale of seats
so far is very large, and points to
a successful engagement. The COM
pany stays till after Saturday night.
Her delivery of the sweet song,
Mary the Baby and Me" is win
ming for pretty Virginia Irwin, fea-
tured with her fathers company at
the Gayety this week, no end Of
compliments. She is CARRIED in a
quantity old fashioned dress of the
hoop skirt style and truly presents
an agreeable picture to the eye.
Ladies matinee daily.
In addition to a most pleasing
vaudeville program headed by Cal
Dean and Sorority Girls in minia-
ture musical comedy and the photo
play, "The Call Of the Soul" featur-
ing Gladys Brockwell, the Empress
theater is offering its patrons
treat in the way of music. Their
$4,000 Hope-Jones organ is COM
pleted and is now being played at
every performance. With Miss Jane
Davis an oreanist and demonstrat-
or of wide experience, at the keys,
it is likely that this great instrument

Recommendation that steps be

nurse at least partially under the au-
thority of the city board of health
was made by Samuel Claman, the new
city sanitary officer in his first report
presented this morning at the month
ly meeting OF the latter board.
The matter will be taken up with
the school authorities by the health
board.
Mr.. Claman also took up the mat
ter Of reporting of contagious diseases
by the physicians, stating that he
would forward printed cards to all
physicians Of the city on which such
reports should be made. In this con-
nection Mayor Wheeler stated that
prosecutions would follow any failure
of physicians to make the required
reports.
Similar legal action will also result
from failure to observe the city ordi-
nancc regarding unsanitary out
houses.
Mr.. Claman stated hat he found
excellent conditions at the city de-
tention hospital and abattoir. No
present changes ire recommended in
methods of water filtration.
