ANOTHER GOLD BRICK.
Topeka Theatre Goers Bought One
Last Night.

Another gold brick" was handed
to Topeka theatre goers at the Craw-
ford theatre last night, in the ''Hoity-
Toity' production against which the
people were warned by the State
Journal
The theatre was cold and the
members of the orchestra sat in their
places with their overcoats on, while
the audience, which happily was not
large. made the best of it in whatever
manner they could.
The show was late arriving in
Topeka ana the performance did not
begin till after o'clock The offer
ing was then a disappointment after
the tedious wait.
s.Hoity-Toity'' was advertised with
Weber and Fields trade mark con-
spicuOusly displayed. 1t is a fact that
the piece was first produced by Weber
and Fields, but those comedians no
doubt would blush with shame to be
accused of being sponsor for the pro-
ductlon as it was presented here last
night The price was set back to a
dollar, which was more than it was
worth.
The theater goers of Topeka are
learning to use discretion in the mat
ter Of attending attractions offered.
topeka is not the only city where there
is complaint of the quality of attrac-
lions offered, and in many of the lead
ing cities, newspapers have taken up
the demand for better productions for
the prices charged.
Topeka is unfortunately at disad-
vantage in the matter of theatrical en-
tertainment as compared to other cities
Of the same size. Other cities of this
size nave at least the advantage of adj
equate theater facilities, while in To-
peka people who may want to see is
called high class ATTRACTIONS have to
climb to the second floor of a building,
which most authorities agree upon as
being unsafe, to reach the parquet
floor. The stage is SO small that the
entire production of companies of any
consequence cannot be used. The rows
of seats are SO close together that per-
sons attending may not sit with com
fort through a performance. Many ten
cent theaters are as good as the Craw-
ford theater.
The Grand opera house, controlled by
the. Crawford management, and safer
and better house than the Crawford
theater, is still standing idle.

discussion of the bill to give street
railways the right of eminent domain
to rid themselves Of some pent up
humor.
! Senator Noftzger prefaced his re-
marks for the bill after Senator Getty
from Wyandotte had opposed it, by
saying, Il have listened to the oratory
( of the senator from Wyandotte ever
since this session began. [ have knelt
at his feet, like Paul at the feet OF
Gamaliel, and drank in his eloquence
until I an-full. This is one reason
why I now rise to talk"
/ Senator Getty had the floor later and
said in reply to Senator Noftzger: Il
now know for the first time why I
have had cold feet ever since the ses-
sion began
Then when half a dozen senators had
Grated and bombarded the bill with
words and phrases Senator Young said
L have been edited by what has been
said but / have come to the conclusion
that there is neither a Paul nor a
Gamaliel in this senate"
Senator Waggener, when he voted on
the bill to give street and interurbaR
car lines the right of eminent domain.
said: II was in favor of this bill until
I heard the argument of the senator
