heed TO art and who have scoffed at the
discussion of technic and drawing OF
masterpieces. are suddenly becoming
greatly Interested in pictures.
The particular picture in which they are
Interested are those of the interiors of
Topeka joints which win be shown at the
Auditorium Friday night
The popular question now among those
who sometimes blow the froth away Is.

and a snap shot camera in Topeka joints.
Several parties have been interested III

man who caught several pictures took
them in the day time. He would go into
a Joint carrying a camera which looked
like satchel. He would place the satchel
IN a table and touch the button and secure
q time exposure. Several rather prominent
men and many more less prominent were
caught in the act of drinking The pic

Now he grasps the prune juice and
Elycerine which inebriates He carries it
