AT THE PLAY.
Majestic's Play Is Good and Wen
Staged-CIassy Bill at Novelty.

There's a pretty little play at the
Majestic this week, one that's essen
tally pleasing to a Topeka audience:
it's pastoral with country folk ard
summer boarders in the cast, and
brings with it a wholesome Whit Of
clover and White Mountain air.
The scenery is especially good
painted by Hugo Miller, who has Just
returned from studying in Chicago.
Three new actors made their debut
last night. Shirley DeMee, the m
genue, is we'll placed; light, pretty,
full of fun, and with features that
make up admirably for her especia;
part. George Sharpe, juvenile chap is
a good actor, and, more than that
good looking as matinee men go. AL
bert Lawrence, who had the part of
Ward Andrews. enunciates well. the
change is a relief, for he is taking tl.e
place of Jack Marlowe, who mumbleG
unintelligibly.
Miss Bronaughs part is not as dis
tinctive as usual; the role of Virgie
Rand has not great scope Not 90
puts it HERSELF. Nevertheless she was
extremely good.
The Novelty is certainly holding its
own in the production of first class
vaudeville. There are several unus-
ually good features this week.
The Eula Lee quartet made a tro-
mendous hit; their voices are well
trained and we'll used. The bell song,
with it's musical chimes, was especially
fine.
Olive Morgan, singing comedienne,
has a fine mezzo soprano voice ave
some catchy songs. 1t is not often
that five first class singers are COL
lected under one vaudeville roof.
Veneer & Palmer produce a COM
edy pIaylet that is short, snappy and
spiced with fun. The Zeb Zarrow
troupe of pantornime cyclists take the
prize for any thing of the kind that
has ever been shown in Topeka.

SEES FEW SOUTHPAWS
Lefthand Pitchers Are Passing, Arthur
Irwin Says.

New York. Sept. 24.-After several
weeks spent in observing the work Of
young players in the minor leagues
veteran scout of the New York Amerl-
cans, has come to the conclusion that the
left handed pitcher is dying out

never before said Irwin on his return
to New York, land never did see such "a
be had.
MY experience is the same as the ex-
perience of other scouts with whom l
hays talked. / cannot account for it, ex-
cept on the theory that left handed per-
sons are getting rare in all walks of life
In my travels this season 1 saw very
few left handed pitchers, fewer than l
ever saw in all my years in baseball. III
venture the prediction that next season
there will be fewer new southpaws in the
big leagues than in any season in .

ENLARGE CONTINENTAL
The Big Creamery Will Have a
$4,000 Addition.

A third story is being added to the
northeast wing of the Continental
Creamery building. 200 Polk street,
and the rear portion of the four-stOry
main building is being reinforced with
steel and concrete. The improvements,
which will be completed about the
first of March of next year, will cost
$4,000.
Machinery will be installed in the
addition to handle the by-products of
buttermilk. Great quantities of but
termilk will be condensed to be
shipped out as chicken food. The in
creased demand for buttermilk by
products has necessitated the addition.
More butter is produced, when both
creamery and renovated butter is con-
sidered, than at any other creamery
in the world, according to the manage
ment. However, there are two or
three other concerns that put out
more strictly creamery butter.
