play of the century. New York from

like a minor baseball league trying to

EIIzs Minstrel
One of the chief topics of conversa-
ton is now the El1s Minstrels, which
will be presented at the Grand next
Friday. and Saturday and Saturday
matinee.
Probably there is more genuine in
nocent fun in a home talent minstrel
show, creditably presented, than in
any other form of dramatic .amuse-
ment. and the Elks are preparing a
production which will surprise even
their most enthusiastic friends The
local flavor of this form of entertain
ment is what makes it enjoyable to the
audience, and this attribute will be
prominent in this production. The
chorus will be larger and better than
ever and first class orchestra of q
dozen pieces will assist. The orches-
ira will be placed on the stage in true
professional style and in this one feat
ure alone, will distinguish this show
from the ordinary amateur minstrel
show. The scenery and costumes this
year are very fine and the vaudeville
acts comprising the second half of the
show are very creditable and far SUI
perior to those shown by the regular
road companies.
A great feature of the engagement
will be the street parade. Fifty of the
handsonest Elks will march through
on Friday next dressed in the finest
minstrel uniforms ever seen in any
town. Silk opera hats, dove colored
box overcoats with black trimmings,
made of superior melton cloth, white
spats, dark trousers and canes is the
parade uniform and it makes strik
ing and gorgeous effect. Only the
handsomest Elks will be allowed to
march and already Tom Barns and w.
H. Ruff are quarrelling about the post
of honor in the parade.
Wednesday morning at Rowley's drug
store for all three performances, and
judging from inquiries already re-
ceived it will be a record breaker.
The matinee is designed to especially
attract the ladies and children and for
that reason there will be several stunts
by children which will be seen at no
other performance.
Although the last MINISTRIES given by
the Elks left nothing to be desired, the
committee in charge are fully con-
WINGED that they will present a better
show this year. If that is so, there
should not be an empty seat at any
performance for it will be worth many
times the price of admission asked.

stage first shows the memorable scene
in front of Moscow when Napoleon
seeks to make the Russians believe
the French have retreated and thus
encompass the capture of the city.
Next will be the burning of Moscow
so it will not fall into the hands of
Napoleon. The scene suddenly shifts
to the battle of Port arthur. The
Japanese flagship is seen blown up
and sunk. The engagement continues
as the fleets seem to pass the line or
forts From Port Arthur the audience
is taken to the camp of the Spanish
General Castellano outside of Havan-
ma. The scene changes to the rem
devious of the Cuban. General Gomez
is shown as receiving his fatal wound.
The great struggle between the Eng
lish and the Beers in South Africa is
one of the most interesting parts of
the act. General Lord Roberts at the
front of his headquarters where he is
informed the Beers under General
Cronje are fast being decimated
from hunger and disease. The guard
announces the approach of Gen.
Cronje who surrenders his entire
company The final scene shows the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS to Cen
eral George Washington. Col. Street
assumes the principal character in
each scene and his uniforms are cor
rect in every detail. Five thousand
dollars worth of scenery and ward
robe is used in this act.
VIM. Hale & Co., appear in a
sketch entitled "a Phantom Rival"
Murray K Hill & Co. is a black face
comedy act which has been a ire
mendous hit throughout the east. Miss
Alice Robinson, high class soprano,
who no doubt a great many people
will remember as playing topeka last
season will also be on the bill The
management considers itself very for
tunate in being able to secure Miss
Robinson. as her services are in great
demand in the east, and it was only
:by special persuasion that Miss Rob.
sinson consented to stop off in Topeka.
Mr. and Mrs. Zetto & Co, will be seen
in a polar bear act, a congolmeration
of laughs. Mr.. Karl Hummel and the
Majestiscope will give a gala program
which is now a weekly occurrence at
the Majestic.

At the Novelty.

At the Novelty.
That everyone in Topeka may have
an opportunity to laugh and grow
fat is the declared purpose of the
management of the Novelty theater in
providing the great comedy bill that
will be presented in that playhouse
next week, beginning with the Monday
matinee ''There will be no questions
or problems involved in discovering
the mission of the various attractions
provided for next week. said Man
ager Israel "the bill has but one
clearly defined mission--to entertain
and make merriment for the multi
tude" That the bill should do all of
that is evidenced by the array of
mfrth producers who will contribute
to the good things at the Novelty
next week. The great comedy playlet.
1.-The Man From Out There" will be
presented by Miss Elsie Gresham
and E. Martin Allen, who. scored hit
here recently in a cleVer-little, sketch,
creating merriment is described as
'rip-roaring western p1ay1et that pro-
vokes scream of laughter from the
start to the finish" This is the YER
dict passed on this act in all the cities
where it has been presented.
Another feature of the bill that
should tickle the risibilities of the
audiences to the limit is the act of
Fossen. late principal comedian with
Al G. Fields minstrels Mr.. Van
Fossen was one of the funniest end
men who ever smeared his coun-
tenance with burnt cork and his con-
tribution to vaudeville is claimed. to
be the most amusing blackface act
ever offered. Terry & Elmer, a high
salaried team of performers, should
prove another strong drawing card
with their combination of comedy,
singing and dancing. Then there is
Caroline Pulliam, in a highly enter
tanning act consisting of singing, dane
ing and character changes. In addition
to the ATTRACTIONS previously mentioned
Mr. P B. Hamlin will sing True
Heart a march ballad, illustrated,
and the viascope will show a new
series of moving pictures. The
Novelty with such a programme as
announced, will no doubt prove a
very popular place of entertainment
among the Topeka public next week.

The fight against the racetrack

bill has usually passed the as

But conditions this year are diff

Governor Hughes of New York has
had its moral effect as far as the
Pacific. Besides there has been
marked increase in defalcations,
embellishments and suicides since
the winter racing season opened in
