The lower part of her body was terribly mangled. but she lived nearly an hour after being carried to her home and was conscious almost to the last mom- ent.

She served one term as Worthy Grand Matron of the Eastern Star of Arkansas and had held many other impor- tant positions i'll the order.

Palmer, her husband Carlyle Moore
and three others. Miss Palmer was
last seen in Topeka six years ago at
the old Crawford theater. At that
time she was with S. Miller Kent in

the kindness of the Topeka papers
who were cognizant of the fact that
she was a former Topeka girl, Miss
Palmer received excellent notices
which she really deserved, but the no.
tees overshadowed those given Mr..
Kent and as consequence Miss
Palmer was released from her con-
tract with his company.

The Thief.

One of the best engagements re-
manning on the Topeka calendar is
that of "The Thief" which comes to
the Grand soon. This is a play which
is under the direction of Charles Froh-
man, and which was translated from
the French of Henri Bernstein.
'"rhe Thief tells the story of a wo-
man who steals in order to have mon
ey for clothes to win her husbands
admiration. That, to begin with, is "a
change from the average play in
which we find a husband or a wife
trying to get as far away as possible
from the life partner, trying to drown
a past, polish up a present, or do
something else along the lines of the
divorce courts.
1.-THE Thief" is a woman deeply in
love with her husband and tortured
by his indifference. She notices that
he has no eyes for her in the simple
clothes that she can afford. She
knows that she would be as attract
