the Hnale, and one or two features of
tonight's program there will be an en-
tire change tomorrow night

stated. Many have gained the impress
sion that the show Tuesday night will
be identical with the show tonight
This is not the case. Practically every
others tomorrow night, and new songs
and feature acts will also take the
boards tomorrow night.
Nearly every one in Topeka who
knows Dick" Cooley personally. has
heard him sing Robinson Cruso'' to
his own piano accompaniment Every
one who has heard him sing that song
once will listen to him as many times
again as the opportunity presents it
self.
Robinson Cruso" was one of the
songs Cooley used while he was in
vaudeville, and it's a Scream" No one
sings Cooley's songs just like he does,

preciated.
