Attendance at the Orpheum this
week shows by the extremely heavy
patronage that the popularity of
Eddie Foy and the younger Foys is
even greater than formerly. They
are appearing in their new vehicle,
"Slumwhere in New York" The
songs, dances and happy frolic of
the youngsters make the headline
feature particularly pleasing. The
entire bill is on the lively amuse-
ment plane. There is Walter Brow
err, the monologist of humorous per-
sonality and entertaining stories;
also there is the effective vocal per-
Torrance of Helen Trick and her
sister, Josephine.
An entire change of program
greets the Empress vaudeville pa
irons today with Alita Diaz' Mon
keys, in a monkey circus, as the
headliner. Blanche and Jimmie
Creighton are character imperson-
ators as we'll as singers and dancers.
Francis and Nord will offer series
of unique songs and Chassis dances.
The Sterling Marguerite Trio in
novelty acrobatic act complete the
vaudeville program. Sylvia on a
Spree" the latest Metro play, in
which Emmy Wehlen will appear as
star, will be the feature photoplay
attraction. 49,
There's a most noticeable and
gossipy hum of comment at each
performance when Mollie Williams
bounces on the stage at the Gayety
CARRIED in her famous Muny beach
bathing costume. 1t wouldn't be
surprising to learn that the fish in
Carter lake are so flabbergasted
that they all swim backwards when
they think of Mollie and the said
suit. The larger percentage of the
daily matinee audiences consists
principally of feminine Omaha.
Folks who enjoy good comedy
mixed with the tenderest of pas
sions and the combination serving to
discuss an interesting phase of life
are being we'll entertained at the
Boyd this week. Confession Of
War Bride" is being played there by
a special company that is capable Of
making the affair seem very real.

ton of being the only American OF
