No Al Jolsons--no cabarets;

No Ringing circus-no movie stars;
No Fords-no Bryans-no Roosevelts.
No Army-no Navy--no Sam brown peIts
They had no Curtis--uo Wright machines
No ocean liners-no submarines;
They had no wireless-no Browning guns
No Rabe Ruths--no home runs;
No kipliugs--no Ptckfords-no ~ Copos

lieved, will establish a new record

additional chairs.
Arrangements have also been
made for a limited number OF seats
on the stage. There will not be
seat in the entire building but from

Capt. Merton Smith Bluntly
Advises Congregation How
To Get Converts.

Blunt advice to reach mems souls
through their stomachs was given
the congregation at the First United
Presbyterian church, Twenty-hr st
and Emmet streets, yesterday morn
ing by Capt. Merton Smith, recent
chaplain with Canadian army over
seas, who began a two weeks evan
gelistic campaign.
1T is up to you to get the people
to the church." he said. 1T is your
fault if they don't come. It is my
fault if they don't keep on coming.
1t doesn't matter how you get them
to come. Invite them to dinner.
Give them something good Then
invite them to church. They can't
very we'll refuse to come"
Captain Smith declared that much
of the worlds trouble is due to its
failure to follow exclusively the laws
of Moses.
"The law Of Moses is good enough
for the world today" he said at
is only when we try to obey some
other law that we get into trouble
1t takes clever business man today
to keep out of Jail. The reason is
that our lawmakers try to follow
both the law of Moses and the law
of atheism"
Captain Smith is to preach each
evening, except Saturday. at the
First United Presbyterian church,

and will give his answer at noon
Monday. The outgoing ministry has
been in Office since November 10,
1917.
NJ. Millerand said that he had
held long and cordial conversation
with Nj. Deschanel, who gave him
his best wishes for success.
President Poincare, after teceiv-
ing Permier Clemenoeau and all the
ministers and subsecretaries, aud re-
ceiving their designations, this morn
ing kept NJ. Clemenceau three quar-
ters of an hour. He expressed the
gratitude of France for the premiers
services and his personal apprceia-
ton of their excellent relations.
President Poincare visited NJ. Des.
chanel at the Bourbon Palace at 2
o'clock this afternoon to discuss the
situation and decide who would be
entrusted with forming the cabinet
He then received M. Bourgeois Il
the Elysee Palace to consult with
him regarding the choice of a pre-
mier
According to the Leuvre. M. Des-
chanel has informed his friends that
NJ. Millerand will be the first pre-
mier of his term as president. 1t
is generally believed possible that
a cabinet would be formed for the
month only which elapses before M.
Descharel takes office. 1t is be
lieved that NJ. Poincare is acting i'll
close agreement with the president
elect with regard to the choice OF
a premier to succeed M. Clemen-
ceau and that M. Deschanel will con
firm NJ. Poincare's choice on Fehru-
ary y.

Minister of Labor-Paul Jourdain.
NJ. Millerand also contenplates the
creation of new ministry to deal
with hygiene and social questions
which will be entrusted to M. Cou
pout, formerly general secretary OF
the Mechanics federation.
Another specialist likely to be
utilized is Frederic Francois Marsal =
director of one of the principal Paris
banks, who will probably be asked
to accept office in the ministry OF
finance.
The choice of M. Millerand as
premier has created an excellent i'm
preston in parliamentary circles.

TTONORS at the Orpheum this
II week are divided between
- three feminine headliners and
riding school burlesque act. Mile
Nitti-Jo, French character singer;
Lillian Shaw, dialect singing come
dienne, and Eva Shirley, assisted by
Al Roth and a jazz band, each is
able to win a share of the plaudits
without trespassing on another's
rigft-of-way.
Nitti-Jo's Characterization of the
female of Paris shows that she has
made a close study of ia Gigolette
Parisienne." She is real artist and
her act has the distinction of being
quite out of the usual run
Lillian Shaw is one of the best Of
singing condolences seen and heard
here for a long time. 1t is rare, that
a woman has the ability to keep an
audience laughing for half an hour,
but this seems to be an easy task for
this popular entertainer. Miss Shaw
was required yesterday to come be-
fore the curtain and voice her C
acknowledgements of the splendid re-
ception accorded to her.
Eva Shirley is a rollicking song
stress with lively bunch of young
men in an act entitled Songs of the
Moment" Bostock's riding school
illustrates how circus riders are
trained. The antics of the tyros
cause commissions of laughter. Phina

accompanied by three youngsters in

which two young women of differ

TIASHEC Eom FIIMIA AND
PHOTO PLAY. OFFERINGS. FOR. TODAY.

THE showing OF the lavish pic
turization of Walter Brownies
- famous morality play, Every
woman" at the Rialto theater yes
terday lived UP to all previous press
notices in which it was stated that
few pictures shown anywhere could
equal it in settings and photog-
raphy.
Beauty is the keynote of EVERY
woman" The beauty Of investiture,
of gowns, of women, of theme and
of action. The settings were de-
signed with an eye to the fanciful,
the gorgeous, the striking. While
there are moments required by the
exigencies of the plot, when the sor-
did must be presented by way of
contrast. in the main the picture is a
kaleidoscope of wondrous charm and
color.
The great banquet scene, wherein
Wealth entertalns Everywoman and
her companions, as we'll as his own
satellites, contains table IN the
form of dollar mark. In one OF
the circles of the IS" is a swimming
pool; in the other a dance floor,
while the company in gorgeous raj
ment are seated about the curves of
the figure. During the sumptuous
feast diving girls plunge into the
water, while lovely dancers trip the
light fantastic on the tiny stage.
Many theater parties are being ar
ranged, and it is expected Every
woman" will prove to be the biggest
picture attraction yet booked for
Omaha.
Moon-A capacity house saw the
first showing Of William Farnum in
THE Last OF the Duanes" at the
Moon theater yesterday. This pro-
duction, with the famous William
Fox star is a perturbation of Zane
Grey's novel of the same name with
scenes laid in Texas in the days of
border outlawry. Mr.. Farnum never
has been seen to better advantage
in a western character role than in
his portrayal Of Buck Duane, son of
a feudist. This young Texan re-

girl, he receives a pardon on condi-
ton that he help clean up leading

He does SO and earns both the par
don and the girl.

Omaha daily bee., 1920-01-19

Strand theater Sunday, proved be-
.yond doubt that the drawing power
of Fatty Arbuckle and Jack Pick
ford is not waning. It's a big dou-
bic bill that Manager Watts offers
the first four days of the week, and
either of the two productions would
be a good sized offering. Arbuckle
is seen to advantage i'll his latest
production entitled, The Garage"
while Jack Pickford in 'In Wrong"
scores the triumph of his career in
his depletion of country boy, whose
ambition is stimulated by love af-
fair and Knocked by his common
place surroundings.
Sun-The tourists who over-ruh
Europe in the open season OIL pass
ports are humorously depicted in
Blind Husbands" the Universal
photodrama of the Alps. Their
carryings-on are given as a side
light in the new photoplay which
began 4 weeks run at the Sun the
ater yesterday, and which kept the
two clerks in the box office busy
handing out tickets and making
change. Blind Husbands" IS a
story Of the Alps, rich in dramatic
quality and pitilessly exposes the
methods of the professional male
love-vulture.
Eric Stroheim, who served as an
officer in the Austrian army wrote
the story. directed it and plays the
leading role.
Supporting him is Francelia Bill
ington, known as one of the
screens most beautiful actresses,
and a cast composed of Sam De-
Grasse, H. Gibson-Gowland, Valerie
Germonprez and Jack Perrin.
Muse-Motion picture directors
are always racking their brains for
a novel scene with which to close
their story, and Christy Cabanns, one
Of the masters in his line, invented
a unique incident with which to bring,
the romance of "The Triflers" to
happy ending. Edith Roberts and
David Butler figures in this charm
ing little bit OF byplay which spells
''finis" to the photodrana which
will be offered patrons of the Muse

good-sized crowds to each showing.
