Day after day the attendance at the
Midwinter exposition is piling up more
rapidly. The total admissions for Tues
day amounted to 3,414, against 1921 on
the day previous, and against 5000 on
the corresponding day of last year.
The Midwinter exposition has practical
ly covered it's expenses already, not
Withstanding several very poor days
during the first week. The directors of
the exposition company and Manager
Brigham have demonstrated the fact
that fair of this sort can be repeated
from year to year without diminishing
in its popularity so long as the stand
ard of its entertainment is not lowered.
Topeka people like the exposition idea,
and stand ready to support it. The at
tendance is now and has at all times
been composed of the best classes of
Topeka people. The crowds are always
orderly and aoDreciative.
Speaking of the attitude that he has
observed among the patrons of the ex-
position, Manager Brigham said today:
1T is the most desira BILE part of the
people of Topeka that come to the ex-
position, Notwithstanding the fact that
the show is given at popular prices,
within the reach of all We have the
least possible trouble in suppreSsing in
dlcations of rowdyism. There is less of
IL this year than during the first two
expoSitfons. because we showed very
clearly at that time that we would not
stand for anything OF the kind for a
moment. At the first exposition there
were some who mistook it for a street
fair, and We had to exercise some pains
to remove the impression. This year
we don't have any line parties or
rough or noisy demonstrations in the
building. Only once or twice have the
guards been forced to request patrons
to preserve order"
Moung Mya, the wonderful Burmese
foot juggler, is i'll and has been taken
off the entertainment programme of the
exposition. He has a very serious at
tack of grip which threatens to develop
into pneumonia. Manager Brigham of
the Midwinter exposition has arranged
for his removal from his hotel to Christ
hospital, and has placed him under the
care OF doctor. The loss of this act is
felt deeply by the management and
VIII be regretted by patrons of the ex-
position. Manager Brigham stated to-
DAY that he is in communication with
chicago, Where he is endeaVOring to Sc
cure an act to be used in the place of
that given by Moung Mya.
DeMora and Graceta are two very
clever equilibrists who furnish some of
the most pleasing acts at the EXPOSE
ton. These two people wear about the
best clothes of any of the artists who
appear with the exposition. All of their
costumes as well as their property is of
the best. One of the very difficult stunts
given by these two people consists of
table act performed upon a small
plVoted stand. Grasping the sides of
this table with his hands, DeMora holds
his body in horizontal position at
arms length above it, while his wife
stands upon his shoulders. AS they
stand in this difficult position DeMora
causes the table to revolve by a slight
Jerking movement of his hands The
Steiners In their triple bar act have
proven themselves to be a good fea-
ture.
