At the Majestic.

The management isn't able to un-
lock the doors quick enough at the
Majestic this week-there has been a
line in front Of the theater ever since
attraction in vaudeville. The Dan
seuse Salome" may be the cause for all
this rush for seats but after the crowd
is there and the much famed Salome
dance is over they still have reason to
give others a 'hunch' on the rush
The show this week at the Majestic is
worth three times the money. 1t is
one of the the best vaudeville "as-
semblies" ever centered on a Topeka
stage and without an exception the
acts are Of the first class nature. As
2 rule vaudevilles have a cheap num-
ber to make up for an expensive one
not so with the Majestic this week
they are all expensive ones.

At the Novelty.

Lind, a vision of feminine beauty
performing a series of remarkably
graceful dances, winning the admtra-
ton of men and women alike was the
headline attraction at the Novelty
theater last night. And then at the
close OF the act, after the vision OF
Ioveliness had been encored num-
Der of times, the enthusiastic audience
was disillusioned and made aware that
things were not what they seemed
that the dream of beauty was not
lady at all but instead one of the cleV-
crest female impersonatOrs that has
appeared before the public To char
acterize Lind merely as female i'm
persanator is not sufficient. He is an
artist and his representation deserves
to be classed as one of the most artis-
tic that has been seen in the city. In
fact, so faithful is his portrayal that
even after he had removed his wig and
thanked the audience in a low bass
voice for its appreciation, many of the
auditors would scarcely believe him
man. The Novelty bill presents sever
al other particularly pleasing features
Anita Primrose, the English music
hall artist, delighted the audience
with her versatile character songs, and
