WANT TO HEAR NORDlCA
Already Applications From Out of
Town Being Received.

Whatever may be the opinion of art
critics, by the popular verdict that is
rendered through crowded houses,
Nine. Nordica continues the prime
favorite of the American people. Her
gracious manner, generous and lady
like treatment of the public, coupled
with an ability to sing what the people
most like to hear and voice of the first
rank, enables her to secure bookings
wherever she chooses to go.
She has a warm heart for Topeka
and Topeka always responds with a
record house. The prospects are that
when she comes to the Auditorium
week from Friday, March 81, she will
be greeted with the largest house of
the season. Nordica not only draws
Topeka people, but from the surround
ing towns. Already orders for seats
are pouring in from outside, notwith-
standing that the advertising so far
has net informed these people from
the outside how to secure seats.
They can be obtained by writing
George StansfieId, enclosing the price.

Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

In connection with the plans of
Professor Cottrell, agricultural COM
missioner of the Rock Island, to run
a milo maize train through Kansas

note a few pointers in the success OF
the Rock Islands dry farming train

ers in Topeka and works out of this
western territory under the manage
ment of the general officials located

also organized invitation committees

IZZY WEDDING THEM OUT.
Releases Harmon, Lambeth, OCon

Releases Harmon, Lambeth, OCOn-
neil, Underhill and Dean.
Wichita, March 23.-The wedding
out process has commenced at the ball
park. Izzy has released five of the
youngsters and more will probably go
in the near future. The youngsters
released all show promise of being
first class ball players but they all
lacked experience that is necessary to
stick in the Jobbers class.
Harmon, Lambeth, O'Connell, I'm
derhill and Dean We're the ones that
first were let go. Harmon left last
night and it is thought that he will
get place with Wellington this sea-
son in the Kansas State league.
O'Connell and Lambeth are other
pitchers that would make good in the
state league. UnderhiH has been try
ing out at second and his work has
shown that he has the goods and will
make a classy ball player when he
has had a little more experience. He
would make a star second sacker in
some of the smaller leagues.
Al Shaw finally arrived in camp
and is looking as fit as a fiddle. He
looks like he is ready to go right now
and in fact says that he never felt
better in his life. He is down to
extra weight to work off. Shoddy was
hitting them to the inf1eld this morn
ing and the bunch sure looked good
to him.. The work of Danny Claire at
third was a surprise to him and he
looks for Danny to play great game
on the hard corner this year. Gould
continues to show Western league
class and hits 'em like a major

Reducing the plot of "The Mummy
and the Humming Bird" to few
lines, it would seem to appear that
Isaac Henderson merely turned an old
dress inside out, and manufactured a
"made-over'' garment in his dramatic
workshop. That is true and untrue at
the same time. Surely the following
will sound wonderfully familiar to
habitual theatersoers- A young and
beautiful woman with ante-nuptial
dreams and ideals of what welded
life must be. marries a young noble
man of noble nature, who, being deep
ly absorbed in scientific research, docs
not see that his bride is pining for his
companionship; she gradually drifts
into the habit of accepting the attene
lions of a smooth scoundrel to be
rescued in the nick of time by her hus-
band, who comes to his senses at an
opportune moment.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Ever since Henri Bernstein's play,
1.-THE Thief" had its great success a
few years ago, that very powerful dra-
matist and skilled technician has been
held in high esteem in this country.
Consequently, the new play from his
pen THE Redemption of Evelyn Vau-
dray," to be presented by Olga Neither

forward to with much pleasureable
anticipation, particularly since the
performance here will be one of the
first in this country, lie Bercail," the

Percy MacKaye, who wrote Henri

theater and scored the longest run up

ever been seen in New York. So the

The process is as simple as the box.
