ADJUSTMENTS

One OF the very best vaudeville shows
which has been seen in Topeka this
winter, or during any other winter for
that matter, is presented this week at
the Majestic by Manager Crawford.
The show is not only strong in the
quality Of the acts but also in the num-
bers of them, there being seven big
acts in addition to an illustrated song,
which has been missing from the Ma
jestic programmes for some time, and
a fine series of moving pictures.
All of the acts on the bill are of a
high order of vaudeville. AS was to
be expected the Ishakawa Japs, a quar-
tette of acrobats, furnish the premier
one. In fact they exceed expectations.
They put on one of the best acrobatic
turns that has ever been seen in this
city and perform all sorts of difficult
feats. A close second to the Japs in
the way of applause getting is John
Nen. He has been in Topeka several
times before but the act he has this
year is entirely new and in a brain,
storm dancing turn he got repeated
attended the performances yesterday
afternoon and last evening.
A high class musical act is provided
by Bingham and Gable, during which
they play a variety of musical instru-'
ments. Bingham does a little of the
marvellous by playing two comets at
one time. Will H. Cross appears in a
clever sketch with Miss Mabel Darrah
and Miss Carrie Starr during, which
they do some good singing and dane
ing. Arthur Browning follows as 1.-The
dancing tramp and does several I'M
usual stunts in that line. Then comes
Miss Alma Pryor, who appeared at the
Majestic last season. She has the same
singing and dancing act which called
flor so fnuch applause on the former
occasion of her visit here and she is
| we'll worth hearing and seeing again.
Mrs. Mabel Gage and Master Richard
Gage put on a singing and dancing act
\ of considerable merit, during which
| they indulge in a lot of good comedy.
| The song illustrator is Mr.. Frank Mar
SHALL His song for this week is ''Blue
Eyes and Mr.. Marshall made a big
| hit with it with yesterdays crowds. He
| has a tenor voice of quality which is
| sure to make him popular among the
| local vaudeville enthusiasts. The NOV
| ing pictures are up to the usual high
standard that has prevailed at the Ma
jestic for the past six or eight weeks.
An entertainment of interest is pro-
vided by the vaudeville show which Mr.
Bryant, the manager, has booked for
| the Olympic for this week and which
was welcomed with the usual Sunday
| crowds at the performances yesterday
| afternoon and last night. The Bell Trio,
three singers of ability provide far
and away the best act on the bill. In
| fact 1t has been a long time in vaude-
vile affairs in the city since their equal
| in the singing line has been heard here.
Enid Dele, dainty little soubrette, is
| one of the other decided hits on the
bill. She is a clever singer and dancer
| and is bound to be popular throughout
| the week. James Conley is a sure
| enough eccentric dancer and has a
repertoire of good parodies which he
| sings with effect. The other act on
| the bill is furnished by the Clyde Broth
| ers, acrobats. For an illustrated song
Mr.. Ga1braith sings I'm Honeysuckle
| Time" couple of series of new NOV
| ing nictures are shown.
There will be nothing at the Grand
during the entire week until Saturday.

seen there in "Raff1es, the Amateur
