About This Play.

The State Journal received a let
ter signed George Francis Beard, bust
ness manager of the "Glittering Gloria"
company, Tuesday afternoon. 1t was
too late to use after verifying. The let
ter is written on the letter paper of the
Crawford Billposting company, and is
dated December 6. 1t refers to an ar
ticle published in the State Journal on
December g.
The letter follows:
Editor Topeka State Journal.
In looking over your comments in
your issue of December on the prices
people pay for attractions in this city,
I was surprised to notice the follow
ing; ,.... o,,.... :. .,,- .,.,.,nu -
Denver at prices ranging from 25 cents
to 80 cents, the latter being the highest
price for seats"
"GIittering Gloria played a weeks
cement at the Broadway theater,
where the evening prices ranged from
rs cents to s1-50; box seats 81. Matinee
prices % cents to 81; box seats $3.50.
This scale of prices was arranged by
the writer.
You also continue your statement by
saying:
The play is booked at a lot of small
towns in the oil and gas belt of south
ern Kansas, and will come to Topeka,
where very likely the price charged will
be $3.50"
The towns that this company is
booked to play in Kansas, am glad to
say, are q credit to the state-Wichita,
Winfield, Chanute and lola These are
your lot of small towns.
When you look at the enclosed pro-
gramme the names of the cast will
surely convince you that Fisher & Ry-
ley could not produce "Glittering
Gloria" at prices ranging from 25 to rs
cents. The weekly salary of Miss Dor
othy Morton alone would eat. UP all
profits thus derived. We carry a full
carload of scenery
Whatever your fight is with your To-
cal theatrical management, speak the
truth regarding productions that are
booked to appear in your city The
prices that will be arranged for this
city will be the same as in all cities
thus far visited.

Seats Tomorrow.

"Glittering Gloria" has been the OBJ
ject of most severe criticism. The
dramatic writer of the Denver News,
where the play was produced last
week, says: There is very little to be
said of Gathering Gloria as a play.
Nothing in its construction, nothing in
its reading and nothing in the concep-
ton of its characters entities it to the
slightest consideration 1t hasn't a
humorous line in it. It depends for it's
success entirely on situations so aw-
fully and boisterously concocted that
believe even McNally would have
thrown them out of his earces if they
had ever occurred or been suggested
to him." 1t is therefore evident that
if Mr.. Beard charges $3.50 for his
production anywhere it is too much.
Exception is also made to the state
ment in the state Journal that the
company would play a lot of small
towns in the oil and gas belt of Kan
sas. Mr.. Beard says:
1.-The towns that this company is
booked to play in Kansas, am glad to
say are a credit to the state-Wichita,
Winfield, Chanute and lola"
1t is very well said Those towns
are a credit to the state, but at the
same time they are small towns. They
are each prosperous and thrifty and
up-to-date, and hustling. but figures
on the population of the cities do not
class them with the list of towns
usually made as one night stands by
stars of recognized worth.

Time Of Making Charges.

During the prolonged investigation in
the summer and early fail Robinson said
nothing publicly about this last charge, In
comparison with which the former ones
were trivial. He now pretends that he did
not in the earlier investigation desire to de-
tract from the weight of his statements by
referring to this alleged money transac-
ton, fearing that 1t would be said that he
was sore and was after vengeance because
Stutler had beaten him out of the money.
But in the first investigation he did COM
plain of Stutler, because he said that Slut
Ter would not let him sweep the area he
was entitled to under the contract. Ii that
were true, it was beating him out OF money
to which he was entitled. Besides, 1t will
be remembered that at the last investiga-
ton Robinson, on cross-examinatton, said
that he was not Influenced to make the
original charges because Of anything per-
sonal to himself, but wholly out of the feel
ing that 1t was his duty as a good citizen
to do 1t. How could that be when he kept
back what IL true, was the most serious
charge Of all?'
