AT THE PLAY.

by Harry North Monday afternoon and
night. 1t was full of laughs from start
to finish. Mr.. North was supported by
part of his company, the remainder
playing at the Majestic.
"Rosalind At Red Gate' which North
Bros. are playing at the Majestic this
week should prove a good attraction for
the holiday week. The stage settings
are pretty and the plot is full of inter
eSting situations and good comedy. The
play is founded on the sequel to Mere
dith Nicholson's House of a Thousand
Candles Miss Russell has the dual
role of Rosalind and Helen Holbrook.
She shows remarkably ability in the
portrayal of the twb different parts.
Mr.. Sayles as Larry Donavan adds to
his favor with Topeka people. The 9th
er members of the company are also
very acceptable in their parts.

CROWD THAT EVER
SAW A BALL GAME PLAYED
CROWDED INTO THE STANDS
Hundreds Carnped All Night at Gates of Polo
Grounds and Police Quickly Brought Order
Out of Chaos When Big Throng Arrived.

Fifty thousand frenzei fans let out their lungs with the roar of
a cracking volcano at the Polo Grounds this afternoon when Mayor
Gaynor of the City of New York cast the ball onto the field as the signal
for the beginning of the struggle for the worlds baseball supremacy
between Connie Mack's Athletics and Johnny McGaws Giants.
The crack warriors of both teams had been out on the greensward
for half an hour when the final signal came, and the stands had been
in a furious state of uproar from the moment of the appearance of tn.
first Giant that strored out of the clubhouse. From then on, as the
stands blackened and the thousands poured into the arena the camor
had continually increased in volume.
