AL G. FIELD AND WATER.
Old Minstrel Believes That Its Use
Keeps Away Crows Feet.

.'Al G. Field is great lover of wa
ter" said G. n. Atkinson, press agent
for the Field Minstrels, who arrived
in Topeka today. Whenever he gets
into town he HES himself to the
Turkish bath. and I believe he would
stand out in the rain all day il there
were no other means of his getting in
touch with water.
81 dropped back to see the show the
other day and had a chat with this
gentleman in his dressing room
s.I think one cannot use enough wa
ter said Mr. Field. It's medicinal ell
ements are manifold. Have you ever
noticed that old minstrel men have few
wrinkles, the crows feet come very
late in life? Such is the case And
YOU will very seldom notice any pim-
ples upon minstrePs face. There is a
reason for this Every minstrel man is
forced to use water, and plenty of it.
Perhaps you are not aware that burnt
cork is made of vegetable oils; no fatty
materials enter into its composition.
Such is the case, however, and it can
be removed by the water. On the other
hand the makeup used by the SOU
brette is composed of fatty substances
and the soubrette is compelled to apply
cold cream and plenty of it to re-
move all traces of the co1ors, and the
makeup being flesh color the soubrette
is inclined to give her face less
thorough scrubbing than the minstrel
Consequently the colors will linger
around her pink tipped ears when she
appears upon the street But the ebon
upon the cork will stand out boldly
unless removed by the black faced

Blanche Walsh Coming.

A domestic drama of untold power
is THE Kreutzer Sonata" the vehicle
in which Wagenhals and Kemper will
present the foremost American actress
of the day, Blanche Walsh, in this city
at the Grand on April 8. Jacob Cor
din is the author of the play and it is
unquestionably one of the biggest
plays of human interest our stage has
known in years. The purpose of the
play is to illustrate the possible crimes
that may be attributed to racial preju-
dice and the tendency of domestic ties
to degenerate when the younger gen.
Grafton is suddenly bereft of the con-
ditions which surrounded its child
hood In this play Miss Walsh scored
most pronounced triumph at the
Manhattan theater, New York and
later at the Herald Square theater in
the same city. The cast which sur
rounded her then and the entire orig
inal production are announced by
Wagenhals and Kemper for the ap-
pearance in this city.

Broadhurst and George V. Hobart Miss
Russell plays the role of a widow who
has inherited a racing stable. This fact
she keeps a secret from her friends,
racing the horses under the name of
John Duffy. A bookmaker of the same
name instructs the jockey to win or
lose the race, as he signals him. The
boy thinking Duffy is his employer,
agrees. The signal to win is the wav-
ing of a white handkerchief from the
window of the trainers quarters. Duffy
plans to throw the race. The widow
meets Duffy by accident in the trainers
quarters. Learning of the plot, she
permits him to make love to her While
she gives the signal to the jockey to
win the race. Then she boxes Duffy's
ears.
The love interest lies in the race of
horseman and an automobile enthus-
last to win the widows hand in mar
riage. She refuses to see the horseman
after the race, thinking he was in the
plot to throw the race. y knowing sta

Coming to the Novelty.
With each succeeding week the busi-

succeeding show is as good if not bet
ter than the one which has gone before.
That is what Mr.. Wells, the manager of
the house, said he was going to try and
do when he opened it three months ago
and that is just about what he has
done.
And there is every indication that the
series of acts which Mr.. Wells has been
able to secure for next week will keep
up the excellent reputation that the
house has made of always presenting a
high class vaudeville show. All of the
acts have regulations for being good
entertainers and a couple of them are
of the novelty order the one thing that
makes for the continued popularity of
vaudeville.
