A visiting girl made her entrance in
a fashionable family hotel in Topeka
on a stretcher. She was i'll and for
once Indifferent to her appearance. Her
Sunday hair had been left off, her
bangs were standing on end and her
nose hadn't seen a powder rag for
hours. The men who live at the hotel
saw her in this condition and declared
that she hadn't come up to her adj
vance advertising and when, after she
recovered she came down to dinner
wearing all her extra hair and her
matinee clothes none of them recognize
ed her.

AT THE PLAY.

"a Girl at the Helm played to a
good house last night, a house fully as
large as the one which witnessed the
performance last season. Billy Clifford
is the whole show himself. He is real
comedian and is in good with his au-
dience right from the start Not so
much can be said for the rest of the
company. 1t isn't up to the standard
of the show of last year, but is still a
pretty good source of amusement. Jack
Trainor as carl Wallenstein" plays his
part cleverly. Marguerite Devon makes
a pleasing Dorothy Higginson."
The chorus contains some fairly good
singers, but it is their costumes which
makes the hit with the audience.
Dainty and elaborate gowns feature
the chorus throughout The male
octette was one short last night, on ac-
count of a case of sickness, but this is
the real singing combination of the
show. The octette doesn't sing enough
The only time it gets in any good work
is in a couple of encores near the end
of the first act, but this isn't enough.
The chorus hit of the production is
THE Long Green in which are feat

Wheel and 1.-THE Steeple Chase

spectacular effect and not because of

Manager Crawford managed to steal
a march on the theatrical trusts headed
by Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger and To-
pekans were treated to a real trust
show last night in "a Girl at the
Helm" Just how it was done no one
seems to know, but the show came and
went without causing the slightest
furore on the theatrical horizon.
"A Girl at the Helm" was presented
in Topeka by Harry H. Frazee. Frazee
handles a number of attractions in the
west for John Cort who has allied HIM
self with the theatrical trust. The con-
tract for last nights performance was
signed last season. long before the
break between the K. & z. trust and
the Shuberts took place. But a num-

Billy Clifford himself was at a loss to
understand why the company played
here. Not until after the show was
over did he know that the Grand was
as ''open-door" house, and was some
what surprised when he did learn about
it. He could offer no explanation for
his company's appearance here. He
added, however that he didn't care one
whit about the theatrical war, and

would just as soon play in one theater
as another, as he favored the open door
policy.
This is the first open door theater
this season at which "A Girl at the
Helm" has shown. All the other en-
gagements in the four weeks in which
the company has been on the road have
been at trust houses. Next Sunday
night the company opens a weeks en-
gagement at the Tabor Grand in Den
yer, one Of the trusts biggest houses in
the Rockies.
There are two conclusions which
might be drawn from the appearances
of a trust show at the Grand last night
1t may have been an oversight on th5
part of the trust office in New York.
in failing to cancel a date that was
contracted previously to the outbreak
of the theatrical war, or 1t may be that
the trust let the show play here to
furnish evidence that there is no trust,
In case it was a mere oversight, there
will be trouble in the office Of Marc
and Abe as the head powers OF the
theatrical trust are affectionately call
ed by the open door managers. And
the responsible subordinate will likely
lose his job.
There is a growing suspicion in theat-
rfcaI circles that Klaw & Erlanger
realize that this has been a losing night
for them, and that they are quietly
backing down and retirine from the
fight as gracefully and as unobtrusively
as possible believing that by quiet
cessation of hostilitIes much Of the lost
ground can be regained.

It is easy now for any woman to
have a beautiful face, handsome arms
and bust, free from all disfiguring
superf1uous hair. 1t doesn't matter
whether it's only a few hairs or a reg
ular mustache or goatee, or how light
or heavy the growth is, it can be de-
stroyed in a few minutes with the
marvellous new remedy, Elec-tro-la.
This wonderful hair destroyer can
be used on the face, neck, arms. bust,
or any portion of the body with per-
feet safety. 1t is not like other reme-
dies. It positively will not irritate,
burn or scar the most tender skin, no
matter how long it is left on, and it
never fails to remove even the most
obstinate growth almost instantly. If
you want a permanent, lasting cure,
not merely temporary relief, Electro
la is what you should use, for it goes
to the hair roots and kills them.
We have decided to send a trial
bottle of EIec-tro-la to any man or
woman who writes for 1t, to prove
that it does all we say. upon receipt
of a two-cent stamp to help cover
cost of mailing. The regular sized
bottle is $1.0O and your money will
be refunded if Elec-tro-Ia does not
do all we claim. We don't ask you
TO take our word for what Electro
la will do. Just fill out trial coupon
