Seniors to Give ss1The ToastmaSter.
Among the coming attractions, 1.-THE
POSTMASTER is being looked forward
to by Topeka theatergoers with the
greatest expectation. Miss Irene WEIGH
ems, who is coaching it for the senior
class of the high school. has chosen an
excellent cast for the production, and
neither time nor money is being
spared.
1.-THE POSTMASTER is a three-act
comedy depicting amusing incidents in
college life. 1t will be remembered
that this same class achieved one of the
greatest successes last spring when
| they produced 1.-The College Ball. This
senior play is a much heavier produc-
ton and consequently much more time
has been spent upon it. 'The Toast

AS the unknown Dancer is along
the same lines in its theme, Mr.. F'roh-
mans intention to produce it in
America shows a decided change of
mind.
THE Fortune Hunter tells of a
young city chap at the end of his rope
who is "staked' by his friend to work
out the friends pet scheme of winning
an heiress by following his rules of
conduct and campaign The I'm
known Dancer shows a similar young
man who is financed for the wooipg
of an heiress and both back out of
the bargain through conscientious
scruples. The only difference in
theme is that 1.-THE Fortune Hunter
| the young man has learned to love
another girl, while in 1.-The Unknown
| Dancer he falls in real love with the
girl he had meant to dupe.
Mr.. Frohman's present attitude
brings to mind also that fact that he
was not the only producer who failed
| to see the merits of the Winchell
Smith comedy. 1t was read and re-
turned by several of the best known
producers, including David Belasco,
Frederic Thompson and Henry B.
Harris, until George M. Cohan read
! and accepted it without a moments
hesitation. In a few days Conan and
