In THE Man Between" in which
Vaughan Chaser will be seen at the
Grand, December 8, Rupert Hughes
has written one of the interesting
plays of the season, and it tells a story
as fresh and fragrant as it is real and
honest. Mr.. Hughes has served long
apprenticeship as a dramatist, but of

with its amazing reality.
How Dollar Prices Obtain.
Manager Roy Crawford of the
Grand theater today made arrange
ments so that Vaughan Chaser, in
THE Man Between" will be presented
in Topeka on Friday and Saturday,
December 2-3, instead of Saturday
matinee and night only. Friday was
booked for Lawrence, but the COM
pany carries such a large amount of
properties that it was found impossible
to stage the bill there.
r. R. Fisher, the press agent, prom
Uses that though 1.-The Man Between -
will be presented at dollar prices. it
will be one of the big shows to come
here this season, also he says that 1t
will be one of the kind that can be
| compared favorably with the best be-
cause it is one of the best.
Manager Crawford referred to the
presentation of Three Weeks at the
Grand Thanksgiving matinee and
night saying that Topekans were so
prejudiced against the dollar priced

| better house if $3.50 prices had been
charged. He declared that he had set
out at the beginning of the season to
present attractions ordinarily priced
at $3.50 and charge only 81 admis-

While some of the shows at the
| beginning of the season did not come
up to the standard of $3.50 shows, il
was the exception rather than the rule
for in most cases the shows have beer
as good as ordinarily have shown

The officers are keen and we'll informed

camp were glad to find an excellent cold soup
prepared with oil, water, vinegar and vege-

around seeing that the men got their due por-

cover is reached; in this way the whole line

AS by force of experience we learned in
South Africa the absolute necessity of using

prone to make use of the kneeling position
