Omaha local papers Is that MacOowell In his role of Antony to Miss Walshs Cleopatra has eome to feel I the love heat he-at first only Simula led I and has been persistent In his amorous attentions to rs css Miss Walsh The latter seems not to I have felt the lambent flame but has resisted MacDowells advances At any rate there has been a very serious rupture I rup-ture between the two costars since Miss Walsh announces flatfooled that I I this Is her final year with MacDowoll that she is i oft lo Europe as soon ns the I I season closes and that next year she will not he In this conJI any This ends a story a long slory Mr Melbourne f MacDowell handsome of figure 1 and resonant re-sonant of voice was si leading man when Fanny Davenport the divorced I wife of Ed J > rlce a noted theatrical manager came across his horizon Ihe I two married Funny Davenport was not only n stage celebrity one of a distinguished dis-tinguished line of players but a woman I of astute business Ideas She kept a

MacDow ell Ben Stem soon found however that Walsh was the important figure In public estimation Soon It became WalshMacDowcll Instead of Mae Dowell Walsh Tho Impossibility of restraining his relations with Miss Walsh to strictly professional lines appears ap-pears to have played havoc with Mac Dowell whom most people thought too old to be sentimental What thr outcome out-come will bo can only be guessed but that guess Is that MacDowell has made a big mistake he will hereafter regret u u The corking business done by Quo Vndls at the Grand the past week is only a sample of what Quo Vudls Is
