After the shooting. when Brown at
tempted to make his way to an auto

menacing attitude toward him. but
soldiers prevented any overt act on

has won her the love of even the
most savage beasts of the forest.
Nell Shipman meets Peter Burke,
novelist roaming the wilds of Can

Both are inspired by the love of
animals, to whom they show kind

dumb animals is repaid after Peter

Arctic regions to investigate condi-
lions among the Eskimos, is most
grippingly shown when "Wap,, the

friendship Dolores has won, saves

In life, as in art. Paul Brehant, a
famous sculptor, was an idealist.
His real woman he thought he>had
found in the Countess Olga, but one
day he learned otherwise. Then
into his life came Denise Fleury,
typical child of Mantmartre, but as
yet untouched by its surrounding
temptations. The Virtueus Model"
starring Dolores Cassinelli, showing
today and up to and including
Wednesday evening, at the Moon
theater is the story of an idealist
and his love affairs with two women
one Russian countess of great
charm and the other just an un-
known girl of humble birth. Which
one measured up to his ideals is
beautifully told on the screen at the
above named theater.
"The Microbe," starring Viola
Dana, is the feature at the Muse
theater today and Tuesday. The
story is a dramatic and heart ap-
pealing one of THE Mierobe," a
girl of the New York slunls. who is
rescued from her unsavory sur
roundings by young author in
search of local color. Her quick
wit and winning personality, coupled
with the ease with which she ac-
qures polish and refinement in her
new environment. quickens his in
terest in her. Judith Winthrope,
young widow has matrimonial de-
signs upon the author. Jealousy
leads her to treachery and deceit and
the "Microbe" is forced to leave
the home she has learned to love.
Startling events follow-each one
more amazing than the last, until
a tremendous climax lays bare the
treaehery which has embittered the
life of the girl, who at last finds
complete happiness and love.

~ amusing than John Burke's
- contribution to THE Passing
Show of l9l8"' has ever been lis
tened to in Omaha. not even the
assertion OF the chief of police that
he has given the city adequate pro-
lection. Burkc's account OF how he
got to France through the draft and
what happened to him while over
there Is really funny.
Willie Howard takes a number of
occasions to convince the patrons
he was not joking when he con-
fessed in court over in Chicago
while the actors were on strike
that he Is just as good an actor as
Dave" Warfield, but doesn't get as
much for doing it. He is ON and
off, sometimes announced on the
program. and sometimes not, but
always doing something that gets
attention. Eugene works Hsll with
his eomical brother, and between
them they lead the cohorts rom the
Winter Garden along trjumphal
march.
Roy Cummings has new line of
stuff that registers somewhere be-
tween nut" comedy and foolish
ness. His antics are energetic and
almost beisterous, but he gets away
with it, and engenders enough of
laughter to warrant him in proceed
ing along the extravagant way he
has adopted for entertaining the
public. And then we have William
Philbrick, husky of frame and voice
alike. who also knows many ways
of exciting merriment.
And this brings us down to the
great central thought of any Winter
Garden show. Men who travel with
such company must possess more
than mere masculinity to attract
attention at all. That is why those
who deserve notice are named first.
Helen Darlington, blonde and neces-
sarily beautiful, heads a galaxy of
loveliness such as the Shuberts

Emily Miles stands right behind
Helen and Dolores Suarez, with a
lovely colortaura voice adds en-
ormously to the delight of the spe-
tator, appealing to the ear as we'll

T. Roy Barnes is naturally funny
and he has developed the art of max
ing people laugh without resorting
to slap-stick methods. With Bessie
Crawford he hoped off this week
as the headline attraction at the Or
pheum. Mr.. Barnes appears as an
impartunate book agent and he
makes the most OF his opportunities.
Miss Crawford evidently does not
let the high cost of living disturb
her young life, for she is good to
look upon and her smile wins the
house.
Emma Haig and Jack Waldron

siderable territory in a brief time
Mr.. Waldron sings and dances into

"The Current of Fun" is an up
roariously funny act. A woman of
Amazorian proportions allows a
strong current of electricity to pass
through her body and offers con-
vincing evidence by lighting gas
jet and a cotton taper. Aside from
the scientific interest of the act
there is a surprise feature which
provokes much laughter.
]. K. Emmett, we'll known to the

"Heartland," in which he and Mary
Z. Ryan sing several pretty ballads,
one to the rose and another about
town where dreams come true.
Tommy Hayden and Carmen Err
celle, an English character con- e(lian
and violiniste, are amusing and en-
tertaining. Sutter and Dell are
clever as trick cyclists. Steve Ju-
hase is just what he claims to be, a
"bunkologist." Topics of the day
