Miss Dresser, in private life Mrs.
Jack Gardner. appears at the Or
pheum with her husband the week
Of October 10. The past week they
have had a vacation and have been
staying at the Fontenelle.

said. IL have played some, too,

And I'm glad OF Il. ] wouldn't take
anything in the world for my 20
years of stage experieAce."
Miss Dresser has starred in New
York in both musical comedy and
straight comedy and has the enviablc-
reputation Of having played opposite
more men stars than any other
woman on the stage. She has played
with such comedians as George Co.
han, Willie Collier and Barney
Bernard. and of their methods she,
said, Every comedian has his own
way Of getting laughs, and you have
to play up to every one of them diff
ferently in the way you handle your
lines and business. I'd just get to
that I knew my stuff pretty
we'll and then along would come
new comedian and, pouf!-Id have
to begin all over again. Did you
ever know how much easier It is to
make people cry than laugh? And
is the hardest Of all, be-
cause your time is so short, and you
have to make them like you right
off," And Miss Dresser smiled
her friendliest smile which is very
pleasant, indeed.
1t is odd to find such a store of
energy as she possesses in a real
Hoosier, and that is what Louise
Dresser is, >hailing from Rilcy's own
state, Indiana. She gave added
proof of the old saying that every
man in the world wants to do some
thing he isn't doing.
II never talked to a man or
woman yet who didn't think that
he could act if he had chance.
Maybe it was just when they were
kids they were sure of their talent.
Now, I've always known / could
make good in the business world.
Maybe l will, too, for Jack and

want to be able to stay at home"
Miss Dresser described her own
footlight experiences. my
brother and I wrote all our own
plays, of course, sometimes adapt
ing those that came to town.

do? Gabby hears that one young
Omahan has finally risked losing an
attractive friend, who has herself
finished school, and has returned to
college. Will she pine in faithful
loneliness or will she find consola-
ton elsewhere? If the mantle OF
Beatrice Fairfax would only descend
on Gabby she would like to prophesy
that the worried collegian has done
the right thing, and that this play
mate OF his youth will remain q true
pal. But what is this we hear about
a body guard? Surely colleges favor

BY GABBY DETAILS.

would you like, January, February,
Liberty, March," etc. That is the
proposal.
Under the present calendar sys-
tenn our category of questions might
go:
How many days make a week?
Answer, 80. How many minutes
make an hour? 60. How many hours
make a day? Twenty-four. How
many days make a week? Seven.
How many weeks make a month?
Nobody knows.
Most of US have to chant off
Thirty days hath September" ETC.,
before we can answer the last ques-
ton.
Under the present system there
are three standards for payment of
employees, by the day, the week and
the month, and some salaries are
paid annually. 1t is real job in
mathematics to figure out the worth
OF day or week on the monthly
salary basis. The new calendar
would simplify such calculations.
When asked for her opinion on
the Liberty calendar, an Omaha bus
mess woman said: "How many Sat
urdays in month? My life is regu-
lated by that" The answer is that
pay day would come as often by the
week and more often by the month
under the new system.
It sounds like a most reasonable
proposition to Gabby. Her only OBJ
lection is found in the fact that
printed calendars will probably be
done away with under the new sys-
tenn, because we will soon have the
days of the month placed as abso-
lutcly as we now have days of the
week. The eighth will always be
Monday; the 10Th always Friday,
and so on
But, think what having no calen-
dars would mean. No more lurid

bolt upon him, was the hardest blow
Seth Pennington could remember hav-

however, to permit a futile rage to
cloud his reason; he prided himself
upon being a foeman worthy Of any
mans steel.

Sexton related to him in detail the
events which had transpired since his
departure, but elected nothing more
than a noncoRpittal grunt.

Sexton continued alphabetically. Miss
