AT THE
THEATERS

TTNLlkE many stage celebrities,
L Bessie Clayton dares to bring
with her company a number of
other stars. In addition to her re-
markable performance as a toe
dancer her act displays many popu-
lar features as the stellar attraction
this week at the Orpheum. Asso-
ciated with her in her sumptuous
dance revue are the Spanish celebri-
ties, Eliza and Eduardo Casino.
They are pre-eminent in their line
of work. Another famous one in
the act is the funniest of eccentric
dancers, James Clemens. The stag
ing of the elaborate act, including
lavish scenic effects and beautiful
costumes, is so colorful that Or
pheum audiences are particularly de-
lighted.
1t is not easy to select the high
spot in Civilian Clothes" for it
has so many fine moments. But
none excel the closing scene, when
the wife goes and crawls into the
bed of the husband she breads to
lose and then waits for him to come
and end the argument. But lot of
mighty good comedy proceed this,
and William Courtney and his COM
pany are putting it across beautiful
ly at the Boyd this week.
The current engagement of Chaun-
cey Olcott at the Brandeis is about
the twentieth in Omaha and the first
one to cover the entire week. Ca
pacity audiences nightly gather to
enjoy his singing lin "Macushla. :"
The second and farewell matinee oc-
ours tomorrow and the last per-
formance tomorrow night.
Here we are right up against the
engagement of the Bowery Bur-
lesquers, the very best musical en-
tertainment to have played at the
Gayety theater thus far this season.
Billy Foster and Frank Harcourt,
the comedians, are literally sweep
ing all before them. Starting tomor-
row matinee, that lean, lanky,
hungry-looking funster, Al K. Hall,
opens for week with THE Sport
ing Widows" Ladies' matinee at
2:15 daily.
An attractive feature of the show
which opened at the Empress yester-
day, is the harmony singing of the
Three Red Peppers, who sing with
finish and training. A brilliant num-
Der is the xylophone act offered by
Earnest Jones one of the greatest
opponents on the xylophone.
Oh, Lady, Lady" the popular
musical comedy, will come to the
Boyd theater for one week, COM
mencing Sunday, November TO- A
popular matinee will be given
Wednesday and the usual matinee
will be given Saturday. The book
ooh, Lady, Lady" by Guy Bolton
and P. G. Wodehouse is snappy and
bright and the score by Jerome
Kern contains sixteen tinkly whistly
musical numbers. A chorus
distinctive for its youth and dainti-
ness will form a most pleasing back
ground for the distinguished cast.
Twin Beds" will be the attraction
at the Brandeis on Thursday, Nov.
20. The cast and production seen
here is the one especially organized
for a Pacific coast tour OF the prom
inent cities.
my Sunshine Lady," the fairy
tale operetta success, heraled as the
seasons distinctive novely, comes to
the Brandeis theater Sunday for four
days starting matinee. The interest
manifested locally in this attraction
indicates heavy advance sale when
it opens at the Brandeis.

Seeley Resigns
As Air Minister
OF Great Britain
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Universe! Service Staff Correspondent.
London, Nov, l3.-The resignation
of Maj Gen. J. E. B. Seely, as air
minister came as q bombshell in
the House of Commons, and has
been the main topic of political dis
cussion today.
From a reliable source Universal
Service learns that his retirement
was forced BY the government be-
cause he violently opposed War Min
lister Winston Churchill's grandiose
scheme to consolidate the army and
navy air forces under a supreme
command to be known as the min
istry of defense" which office
Churchill himself is said to covet.
The scheme would bring the civil
aviation under the ministry of trans
port. o.,
Even Maj. Gen. Seely's personal
secretaries had no advance knowl-
edge of his intention to retire and
the announcement came with dra-
matte suddenncss. Political circles
see in his resignation a new victory
for Churchill who is accused of hav-
ing sacrificed his personal friend
ship for Seely to attain his own pet
object.
Seely has been associated with
British aviation since its infancy.
His friends tonight limited that in
resigning he meant to serve warn
ing on the country of the perils
which he sees in Churchill's scheme
and to show his dissatisfaction with
the reorganization of the war Of
fee. He is in favor of separate air
establishment, especially in the
present crucial situation when civil
aviation promises such great fu-

POET LAUREATE
FINALLY FINDS
AN INSPIRATION
Had Been Silent Whole Year
Since Armistice = Gently
Prodded by English Wage.
BY ROBERT BRIDGES.
Poet Laureate Of Great Britain.

Special Cable to Universal Service.
If thou forget what wine they she'd.
Thy sons on land and sea,
Mother of all our hallowed dead,
Shall peace return on thee?
Look on the fields they left so fair,
The hills their passion crowned;
They built nations affairs there,
And there thy peace is found.
London. Nov. l3.-The laureate
burst forth with this peace song
exactly one year after the armis-
tice. Previous efforts to stir the
genius of thee British official poet
were unavailing. He remained
silent even when his silence pro-
voked gentle flicks from the Aoor
of the House of Commons; even
when the Trepressible Horatio Bot
tomley asked the government if it
might not be we'll to increase the
ancient allowance of canary wine to
the laureate in order TO stimulate
his muse.
