WESLEY DoTsoN IS IN TROUBLE
But 1t Is No New Sensation for the
Troublesome Individual.

Wesley Dotson, same old ''Wes."
brother of Felix, just got another 80
days. This time he is locked in the
county Jail and beside the Jail sentence
has fine of SIS and costs to pay for
his trial in the court of Topeka.
Wesley was first in charge of the
city police with whom he spends much
c1 his time. He had been "vagged"
and sent to the asphalt plant to work.
An idea presented itself to Wesley that
he could outrun his guard-and he did
But when they had captured him later
the chief had ball and chain append
ed to his running gear. Still the in
G:gnant colored man was not daunted
and taking his hammer beat off SIS
worth of brass locks.
Chief R. w. Eaton then resolved to
let higher court have him and swore
out complaint in the court of Topeka
charging him with breaking up city
property. The defense was that to in
earcerate the negro would be to en-
Danger his life on account of disease.
The county physician, however, said
re might as we'll be in as out. Judge
simon thereupon pronounced the above
mentioned finding which will keep
Dotson off the police hands.

Allie f1 !!

Louise Cunning the youngest star in
the armament of the Shuberts, made
her first appearance before a Topeka
audience Wednesday night in the light
opera 'Marcelle," and with her Won
derful voice, her beauty and her chic
style and manner, scored a distinct sue
cess.
Miss Cunning sings in high with
out apparent effort. There is nothing
tuneful or catchy in the music of this
Pixley & Luder opera, but Miss Gun
ning's voice could overcome a greater
handicap than this, a common one
with musical comedy nowadays. The
large majority of singers in light opera
reach the high notes at the climax with
a supreme effort and one wishes they
would forget to scale the heights at the
finish, but Miss Cunning ascends to tn :.
coveted place at the top with careless
ease and having arrived there holds her
audience in rapt admiration of her
birdlfke notes. Her stage manner is as
charming as her voice.
Jess Dandy furnishing the comedy III
the part of the German baron who ha
to have a son at once or lose his
estates, was a delight. His work may
have been coarse at times but this is
overlooked in contemplation of the
scarcity of comedians on the light
opera stage the past three years. Miss
Cunning, as "Marcelle," a Partisan ac-
tress, takes the part of the old baron's
son ana saves Ills CdStlo, WOulQ nave
saved it had not the cellarer gotten
drunk and given the plot away to the
solicitor for Lieutenant Karl, the
nephew in line for the estate under the
terms of the will. Then Marcelle saves
the day a second time by marrying the
awkward lieutenant.
The song numbers especially pleasing
were. Never No More" by Dandy;
'Mary's Little Lamb" by Norma
Brown and Charles King, and Far Far
Away" by Miss Cunning. The girls of
the chorus were very good looking and
we'll dressed. A large audience enjoyed
the show and showed approval and ac-
ceptance of Miss Cunning by making
her respond to four or five curtain calls
after the first act.
