"Zangwill," said magazine editor,
entered literature by the back stairs
Instead of submitting his first story to
the magazines, he had it printed in
pamphlet form, and sold it on the
news stands at a cent a copy. He
made out of it $3.50. Now had this
story been submitted to me- 1 should
undoubtedly have rejected it.
'Zangwill has turned to plays be-
cause he doesn't think there is much

Joe Ulhman, the race horse man
and noted bookmaker. is paying the
! bills for the San Carlo Opera company
when the door receipts are not suffi-
cient. It is a far cry from running a

grand opera, but Uhlman has made a
couple of millions or more in the bet

| with a new toy backing the grand
opera game.
Joe Uhlman is exceedingly gener-
Gus. At the conclusion of the Chica go
engagement, where the receipts for the
week totaled about $4,000, Uhlman
made a present to the girls of a
college of a thousand dollars after the
division of receipts had been made &C
cording to contract.
Coming out of Kansas City yester-
day morning he kicked because the
Angeles was forty odd dollars. The
represen native of the railroad said. ct

going to Lawrence. but Los Angeles is
farther away" Uhlman didn't stop
to consider the distance, and on second
thought was profuse in his apology for
having questioned the rate.

TODAY the San Carlo company is en-
route to E. Paso where LA Traviata"
will be sung tomorrow afternoon. A
ten days engagement at Los Angeles
will be begun on March 5.
The remarkable numerical showing
of people OF foreign birth at the Grand
last night was noticeable. Topeka was
the only city in Kansas to which the
San Carlo company came. and many
people from surrounding Kansas
towns were present.
The members of the chorus of the
San Carlo company number natives of
France Italy, Spain and Germany.
Operas are sung in these four Ian
guages.
The San Carlo, company was recruit
ed at Milan, Italy. and has been in the
United States but a comparatively few
weeks, having played only at New Or

1t is a favorite pastime, among con-
stituents. to draw up resolutions con-
demning their representatives and
senators. In reality, one of these reso-
lutions, signed by a dozen or so of the
several thousand constituents, cuts
very little ice with the representative
of the pee-pul, but it is annoying, and
some legislation should be adopted to
prevent the practice. The Bill Hack
ney system of wiring back to the COM
mittee of kickers, go to -, COL
lect" is in many instances the proper
course, but few Representatives of the
people have the Hackney ability to
concoct scathing messages, and some
other method should be universally
adopted. The trouble might be re-
duced to a minimum by getting ex-
cused from the session a few days to
run down home and kill few kickers
with a club. but even this mode of pro-
cedure has it's drawbacks. The kick
ers might take to the brush and thus
evade the ends of justice and the club.
or they might arm themselves and
chase the kickee over the state line.
In either case the result would be the
same. it would take the representa-
tive of the pee-pul too long to hunt up
and destroy the kickers on the first
proposition, and if chased out of the
state. as in example number two. he
could not get back to Topeka in time
to vote on the sine die adjournment.
This is matter requiring careful con-
sideratiOn.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery. the noted
woman suffrage leader, was talking
in Philadelphia about divorce.
iii temper is at the root of di-

women are not so vicious as some peo-

but, alas, how rarely is the public per-
mitted to look upon an Armand DuNal
who is not sad and impossible 1t only
goes to show that in any line OF artis-
tic effort you always run a vastly big
ger chance for a high average among
women than among men.
It is only fair to Mr.. Russell and has
fine company to say that Alemanni was
merely an incident but it is one that
seems to be worth mentioning.
One incident occurred last night to
mar the beauty of the opera for those
who sat towards the rear of the
theater. -v-s-r
crea ted n comnotion during one Of
Nordica's best scenes by ruthlessly
tearing up and down the aisle of the
theater to arrest several senators who
were in the audience and who were de-
sired to answer roll call on a tool
proposition in the senate.
Despite the efforts of Manager Roy
Crawford, who tried to suppress them.
they succeeded in disturbing half the
audience on the first floor.
1t is to be regretted that men with
such a small perception of the fitness
of things should have been let loose
by an alleged intelligent lot of sena-
tors upon an audience that had paid
dearly for their seats for the opera and
did not desire to be disturbed in the
enjoyment of it.
Doubtless the said officers will have
some fine stories to relate to their
grandchildren in the days to. come in
which they will point with pride to
the time that they raised Cain up at
Topeka, and yanked Senator SO and
So out of the theater during Nordica's
appearance in grand 'opery' at the
session of 1907.
Nordica and her sister, Mrs. G. A
Walker attended the afternoon per-
Torrance at the Auditorium yester-
day. Nine. Nordica was much i'm
pressed with Ruth Grey's mind read
ing exhibition and called it wonderful.
Nine. Nordica asked a question of
Miss Grey who answered it correctly
as she did also for E. Romayne Sim
mons. Nine. Nordica's manager. After
the performance Nine. Nordica waited
in her carriage for Miss Grey to dress
and took her down to her private car
for dinner. She presented Miss Grey
with several carved ivory pieces that
she secured in Italy.
Nine. Nordica sent her carriage to
the Auditorium for Miss Grey after
her performance last evening. and
brought her to the Grand opera house
where she listened to the last act of
La Traviata" in box with Nordica's
sister and several other prominent
Inemb ers of the opera company.

Any man, even a senator has some
property rights under the constitution
and after he has bought a large por
tion of a theater for the privilege of
occupying a 14-inch portion thereof
during recital of vermicilh music, he
should be let alone. The raid the
senatorial theater party which was
pulled off last night will go down in
history as the "crfme of or A ser
