Texas In speaking of the circuit Mr..
Crawford said: There are many ad-
vantages in handling a number of the

panies. 1t enables the theaters to get
a better line of attractions and also has
the advantage of playing the compa-

Topeka is as good a theatrical town in

the people who have no other business
than the care and keeping of their

TT is this class Of people that retard
the growth and drive out the broad
minded. Independent, liberty loving cit
liens and business investors that would
make Topeka 30 per cent better as
business town than it now is 1 think
they should be colonized. Then we
would have an old time town. No bet

have an old time Donnybrook fair
Then I think the hotels would not be
empty because the good citizens Insist
on the travelling man and the German

would have better theatrical town and
a better business town If we would
stop a lot of this goody, goody nom
sense. For my part do not object to
anyone drinking beer if they like it bet

ink if they like it better than beer We
ought to have town broad enough to
let them drink tea, ink or beer All
kinds of drinks for all kinds of peO-

Manager T.. NJ. Crawford, of the Craw-

from the standpoint of the theater pat
rOns and the management Of the COM
panies.
I think we viii have as many large

for the larger attractions coming west
this winter. Then Mr.. Crawford fell to
sohloquizing. They Will pay, too" said
he Most all good entertainments pay
under favorable circumstances The
appetite or tastes of the public are not
always the same. AS a matter OF fact
we have to have a most varied line of
entertainments during a season. All
kinds Of shows for all kinds of people.
We most always have profitable bust
ness for the standard New York sue
cesses and yet if we failed or refused
to play any but S1-50 shows. the masses
would jump on us stronger than they
did on the ice trust. 1t is the TO- 20 and
80 cent attraction, when it is a GOOD
one like Dick Ferris, that makes the
most hearts glad. 1t is then that the
masses enjoy and revel, shout and ap-
plaud under the glare of the electric

POPULARITY OF STARS.
The Unexpected Seems to Happen on
the Stage.

One of the curious phenomena of the
theatrical business is the absence OF
faith that one manager has in another's
attraction, one can always seelittla else
than trouble and disaster for the
other.
OF the popular stars before the
public today, not one was expected to
succeed-except by the manager back
ing the venture. This is especially
true of Viola Allen. Naude Adams and
Mary Mannering. 1t seems absurd that
three years ago the combined salaries
of these three immensely popular act
resses was probably not over $500 per

When Joseph Herbert was coming

quite a number of men around him to
whom he was paying no attentions. Her

little with his own people An elderly
man had been making q close range
study of him to his partial annoyance,
and he was not surprised to hear this.
Il am seldom mistaken in people. I
believe you are an actor
Herbert was divided between telling
him he was a harness maker and ad-
hitting the truth. He was impelled to
confess the accuracy of the guess, and
was repaid by the ingenious interest
the old man showed.

The dialogue dropped temporarily.

that Herbert was an actor, and had
pricked up their ears Presently the
old man was encouraged to resume
