At the Majestic.

Miss Ethelyn Palmer, a former To-
peka girl is easily the headline act at
the Majestic this week Miss Palmer
appears in a sketch, ''The Mans the
Thing" which was written expressly
for her, by Cecil de Mile, the well
known dramatist. Miss Palmer is
supported by Carlyle Moore & Co.,
and the sketch is by far the best seen
in Topeka this season. Miss Palmer
has a part that teens with emotion
and tragedy, but she rises to the oc-
casion, and plays "a role with perfect
naturalness. The entire company OF
FIVE is a strong acting aggregation.
The remainder Of the bill is enter
tanning. The Musical LIE Moines. mu-
steal artists, are well received by the
audiences. In addition to several
kinds Of music, a reproduction of
musical melange in a Chinese theater
is featured. Marjorie Barrett, is q
young prima donna, of Is summers
who impersonates several New York
stars with pleasing effect. Girde1ler.
another former Topekan, has some
comedy acrobatic dogs. There Is
nothing in that act that borders on
the hackneyed canine specialties.
