Olympic Bill Is Strong.

The new bill at the Olympic for
this week is quite as strong a one as
has been seen at this house during the
entire season and should draw record
breaking crowds as it is we'll worth
seeing. Among the good numbers on
it are the Burton Sisters in a comedy
sketch called IAN Old Maid From
Arkansaw." Happy Doc Holland, a
good blackfaced comedian; Max Dill
lac, an eccentric English comedian
and Zeck and Zeck, IN a high class
novelty act. Two good series of NOV
ing pictures are shown and for an IL
Illustrated song. Mr.. Frank Marshall
sings, Fetch Over the Canoe"
Mr.. Bryant. the manager of this
popular theater, has decided to give
four performances each day from now
on The matinee will be held at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon as has been
usual and there will be three evening
performances, the first one beginning
at 7:i5 p. m. and the others at SIS
and e:15.

"At Yale" just Fair.

This years production of cat Yale"
which was seen at the Grand on Sun
day afternoon and evening and which
is presented by one or Jules Murry's
companies is only passabl Among
the great number or college plays
which have been popular during the
past three or four years, AT Yale"
does not stand with the best of them.
although there. is a great difference
of opinion among the theatergoers as
TO its real merits. Some are inclined
to think it is a real good show and
there are as many others who do not
like 1t at all At any rate the pre-
sentatlon of the piece at the Grand
yesterday did not compare with the
one of year ago when Paul Gilmore
played here in the title role Clinton
Clay, who has succeeded Mr.. Gill
more as the Dick Seeley of the piece
hardly compares in any way with Mr..
Gilmore unless possibly as a singer
MI Clay's support cannot be called
robust and on the whole the "At Yale"
of this year is something of a dis
appointment.

Maiestic,s New Bill.

There are variety Of good acts at
the Majestic for the show for this
week and it averages up among the
best OF the shows that have been
seen at this house during the past
couple of months. That statement is
sufficient to let the large number OF
patrons OF this theater know that the
show is well worth seeing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Burgess provide
the feature act on the bill and one
that is bound to cause a lot of talk In
the city. They do some clever leger-
demain work and Mr.. Burgess is an
adept at sleight of hand. And they
conclude with an illusion which re-
suits I'M Mrs. Burgess being suspend
ed in mid air with apparently moth
ing but the atmosphere to sustain
her. 1t is most cleverly accom-
plished trick and will cause a lot of
guessing.
Art Adair furnishes an act that is
full of entertainment and laugh pro-
ducing. He Is a comedian of the
RUDE type and makes noises on a
number of musical instruments. Then
there is The Great Westin, an i'm
personator of ability, who Is said to
be the only man In his line of work
that impersonates Queen Victoria and
this effort of his Is among his best
are also on the bill. They are given
by Griff Brothers and the Three Shone
brothers and the work of both teams
is Of high order. Ferrel and LIE Roy
furnish the other act on the bill. 1t
is a musical and comedy sketch and
the musical end of it Is most enter
tanning. For an illustrated song Mr.
Karl Hummel, whose popularity as a
singer seems to increase with the
large audience that attend the shows
at the Majestic with each succeeding
week, sings Dolly Dear" for an IL
lustrated song; and 1.-THE Hostage ,.
and The Man Who Walks on Water
are the titles Of the two excellent Sc
rfes of moving pictures which are
shOwu.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE VAUDEVILLE HOUSES.

without the shadow of a doubt,
one of the best vaudeville shows, II
not the very best one, to which DeIleI
many will incline, that has ever been
seen in Topeka, Is provided by the
bill at the new Novelty for this week;
It was more than heartily received
by the big crowds which saw the per-
9ormances of 1t on yesterday aIter-
noon and last evening and there Is
every indication that it will pack the
house from pit to dome during the
entire week.
There is not an act on the bin
which Is not a star in its line ana
three or four of them are gooo
enough to be headliners in any vaud-
Vile house in the country one or
these acts is presented by Al Jolsen'
g blackfaced comedian. Jolsen is
far and away the best man in this
kind of work who has ever been seen
in this city and his singing ana
monoiogue work is well worth going
miles to hear. Another feature is the
novel and comical work of LII Ker-
slake,s educated pigs, five in num-
Der. They do stunts that 1t would
hardly seem possible to teach pigs to
do and furnish a great entertainment.
And still another feature act Is the
singing and comedy work OF the IA
Quartette of singers and cut-ups VINO
have been seen in Topeka before, but
who would be welcome once
month. This quartette consists of
Thad Packard, who has relatives Hv-
ing in this city. Silas Whitrock, Dean
King and Robert Gibner. They are
real singers and are the recipients OF
countless encores. Roger West and
Miss Ida Van Siclen, musical artists,
present an act which Is way up in
the class of this sort of acts. Their
stage setting is a novel one, being
made to represent the interior of a
college boys room and gymnasium.
They play a variety of musical in
etruments in a clever fashion. Nor
gan and McGarry. song and dance
artists, furnish the other act on the
bill They are not much in the way
of singing, but they have something
of clever medley Of a great number
of songs. With their dancing, how
ever, they make a great hit and are
about as clever pair of dancers as
has been seen in this city. Two gooo
illustrated songs are on the bill,
Yours Is Not the Only Aching
Heart" which is sung by Mr.. Ir-
win and Tho You're Gone. You're
Not Forgotten" by Miss Lillian Par
fit Three interesting and entertain
ing series of moving pictures are also
shown.

Black Patti.

The Black Patti Troubadours will be
at the Grand on Thursday night. This
company has been SO in the habit OF
doing things. that a mere announce
ment of its performance in any city is
sufficient to pack the house to the
doors. It is one of the most popular
and successful road companies In
America and it can always be relied
upon to give a tip-top show. All the
specialties are sDick brand new this
season, and the fun and comedy in
Prince Bongaboo" has new laugh
provoking sayings and situations.
Black Patti appears in a condensed
version of Balfe's popular opera THE
Bohemian Girl" tunefu1 operetta,
also in new stage novelty conception.

Thursday to visit with relatives and
friends in the towns of Rudolph

visit back to Grand Rapids and
Wood County. He is now in this
city calling upon old time friends.
He is in the fruit business ont
there and reports a successful bust
ness. They like the climate, the
country generally, and the people.

known and recognized as an old
settler and was Familiarity called
Captain Whitney. His life enters
into the history OF Grand Rapids as
one of the early pioneer lumberman
stamped with the rugged character
peculiar to those early days. He was
rough diamond with all its value.
He was popular with the men Of his
day and times and leaves many old
time friends who will miss him 10 his
frequented places. He was noted
fisherman who loved this sport above
all others. He was often seen early
IN the day, and season, and about the
last man in the fall to lay away his
rod and reel. In the death of Captain
Whitney, Grand Rapids loOses a good
citizen who will long be remembered
for bis sterling qualities.
The funeral services were held at
the home of his daughter Mrs. Ed
mOnd ROsSier, in Plover, Wednesday
December 30th, in time to take the
Green Bay & Western passenger for
this city. His remains were de-
posted in Forester Hill Cemetery
along side those Of his wife who pre-
ceeded him in death by several years.

ELECTRIC POWER
VERSUS STEAM
C. & N. W. and Other Railroad
Lines to Use Electric Power
Soon.

1t is only a question of a very short
time, probably with in the next five
years, when every railroad operating
out of Chicago will be useing electri-
city, not only entirely within the city
limits, as is done to some extent at
the present time, but where condi-
tions warrant, it will take the place
of steam for longer distances.
The managers Of both the North
western and Milwaukee and st. Paul
lines are now considering reports of
engines on the identification of their
systems between Chicago and Milwau
kee. This route is similar to the
one between New York and Philadel-
phia.
1t is pretty safe to say that even
tually the modern steam locomotive
will be relegated to the scrap heap,
or on exhibition in museums as a
curiosity of by-gone days, and cleo
tricity will constitute the sole motive
power of all railroads.
