ADJUSTMENTS
At the Novelty.

MISS Nan Ryan, Miss Carrie Ryan,
Miss Mabel Wyatt, Sammie Weston
and sidney Clare, a quintet of young
folks, all of whom are in their teens,
make the big hit in the good show
which Mr.. S. r. Wells has provided
for this week at the Novelty theater
and which seemed to please the large
audiences which witnessed it on yes
terday afternoon and last evening
The three girls are pretty and good
singers and the boys are good singers
and especially fine dancers. The five
OF them put on singing and dancing
act called 1.-THE Surprise Party" and
4 provides twenty minutes of the best
sort OF entertainment. These young
folks have had sort of a triumphal
march around the big Sullivan and
ConSld1ne vaudeville circuit through
out the west, having been accorded
fine receptions wherever they have
appeared.
There is another mighty good act
on the bill. 1t is put on by Dewey and
Evans and is of the eccentric aero
batic order. Perhaps it is safe to
say that during the present show sea-
son there has been one or more aero
batic acts each week at the several
vaudeville houses. But in none of
them has anyone done quite as clever
singlehand stand work as is done by
De Noy. How he can balance himself
on one hand in some of the postures
hension. And the comedy work of his
partner is of high order.
Jack and Bertha Rich have a sing
ing and dancing speciality that is
pleasing. Miss Rich is an excellent
dancer and they conclude their act
cleverly. Miss Rich sings a song
while Rich from behind her makes
b1e gestures with his hands. The 9TH
F,r two acts On the bill are furnished
by Lola Fawn and Will King. Miss
Fawn shouts her way to popularity
with coon songs and King is funny as
q Hebrew comedian with stories and
parodies.
For the illustrated songs Miss Par
fit sings, when It's Moonlight on
the Prairie, Darling Mary" and Mr..
Irwin sings California is the Place
for Me- "When It's Moonlight on
the Prairie, Darling Mary is one of
the best illustrated songs that has
been heard in Topeka this season,
this being it's second rendition here
and Miss Parfitt sings it with telling
effect. Two entertaining series of
moving pictures 1.-THE Transformation
of a Horse" and 1.-THE Waif'' round
out the show in a pleasing fashion.
Olympic's Bill Is Good.
Hal and Marian Munson are the
headliners on the good bill which A. p.
Whitney, the manager, has secured for
the olympic Tor this week and winch
provides the best show that has been
seen at this house in long time. 1t
fulfills the promises made by Mr.. Whit
ney when he assumed the management
of the house q couple of weeks ago that
he intended TO book shows which would
be second to none in vaudeville at pop
ular prices. The Munsons put on a
sketch called THE Reporter and the
Prima Donna" in which they get off
lot of enjoyable fun and have plenty of
chances to display their abilities as
singers and pianists.
The other acts on the bill also pro-
vide excellent entertainment One of
them is presented by Stockheld and
Ward. It is a comedy sketch called
Training a Husband" and is filed
with lots of humorous situations. Hap
by F'erd Wilson, a black-faced coined
Ian. does the other turn. His jokes and
songs are good. That popular song
School Days is sung with some fine
Illustrations by Frank Marshall and
two series of moving pictures 'Ele-
plants in India" and THE Blacksmith"
are shown.
