TROUBLE AT CRAWFORD
Star Was RebeIIious and the Audience
Nearly Froze While Waiting.

How is the Crawford theater
heated ?"
That is the question asked of a re-
porter for the State Journal who an
swered a telephone ring early this
"By Steam, I suppose the reporter
answered.
'eWeI, I just wanted to know" was
the reply of the questioner, a woman
Il was at the theater last night, and
nearly froze. I was just wondering if
they used an oil stove in the basement
to heat the building
In addition to having a cold house,
the patrons who attended the theater
last evening had to wait until $3.50
for the performance to begin.
Florence Bindley had been sched-
uled to appear in 1.-THE Street Singer
and there were a few curious enough
to want to learn what sort of play and
seemed to have been a dearth of in
formation about the production prior
to its presentation.
1t began to appear to the audience
for a time that this curiosity would
not be satisfied, and a few went out
and received their money back at the
box office.
1t seems that the trouble which
caused the delay was over the settle
ment of accounts between the star and
the manager The star, it is said,
wanted the back salary that she
claimed was, due her, and refused to
play until she got it. Meanwhile the
audience, which, by the way, in Topeka
is used to putting up with all sorts of
disadvantages at the Crawford the
until they could learn in one way or
another whether they would get to see
a performance or not.
Not much may be said about the

show. From a numerical standpoint
it was small. The house was small,
the theater cold, and the acting
chilly.
Topeka is used to getting gold
bricks" in the form of theatrical
amusement, and one more brick usu-
ally seems to hardly call forth much
comment Those who contribute
their money charge it up to experience
and let it go at that.
Years ago when the present genera
ton of theater-goers were youngsters,
Florence Bindley used to make the
rounds of the Kansas kerosene cir
cult and some of the old settlers now
remember her. To have missed the
performance last night was not a Sc
rious loss

it was before the committee of the city
council investigated it and submitted

condition.
The suggestions given are for the
elimination of the most GLAZING DE-
FECTS discovered. and for the inn
provement OF egress of an audience as
sembled therein
The last portion of the above state
ment says, Improvement of egress of
an audience therein" It does not say,
however, that the improvements sug-
gested were sufficient to make the mat
ter of egress in case of fire or panic
equal to the emergencies
The report made by the committee
to the city council further says
I'VE consider that the Crawford op-
era house. in its present condition, is
unsafe for occupancy as a theater and
especially the gallery, located on the
fourth f1oor.''
Since that report was made n few
changes were made in the theater
building, and probably the gallery on
the fourth floor is now the safest por-
ton of the house. True it is that the
conditions as they exist on the parquet
floor have been but poorly improved
upon.
The prices for Roselle Knott ato.raw-
ford's st. Joseph thea.ter were 75c and
81 on the first floor. At Topeka there
were no 75c seats on the first floor.

dreds of miles of road would be built

labor than to have them engage in

with skilled labor of the state.
Government experts have figured
that 1t costs twenty-five cents to haul
ton over mile of ordinary dirt
road, and that it does not cost to ex-
coed ten cents per ton per mile over a
macadamized road. Fifteen cents per
ton for every mile of haul is a heavy
tax on producers and consumer.
In Kansas we have abundant ma
terial well distributed, with which to
make roads. In a large part of the
state there is plenty of suitable rock
In others plenty of Shale for brick
making, and besides, there are large
beds of gumbo which, when burned,
is first class road material. It is al
ready used largely in the roadbeds of
some of the railroads. Crude oil, with
which the state is so we'll supplied,
when properly used converts a dirt
road into something like an asphaltum
road, and is sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the country highway"

Ever since the organization of the

been one of its energetic workers. She
was president of the Belleville corps,
