Guilds Amato comes to Topeka I'M
der Parkhurst management. Sine
1909 he has been the leading baritone
of the Metropolitan Opera company IN

Mrs Eiske and the Manhattan COM
pany come to the Grand tonight Ars-
Eiske's present season offering is The
High Road" When produced in New
york last wear. a number of critics de-
cIared that Mr.. Sheldon had taken
long step forward, while others went
so far as to say that IN Inc HlSh
Road he had written the most vlrlle'
interesting and significant American
play that the last ten years mad DIS
closed. During her long and illustrious
career Mrs Fiske has appeared in so
many types of play that it would seem
there could be no new worlds for her 10
conouer 1.-The High Road" is said to
be quite unlike any former play IN
her widely versatile list 1t is descr1b-
ed as the story of the soul progression
of a woman who was born to an out

the heel of the world In the end comes
a great spiritual redemption and the
secure refuge of a great and good
mans love.
The play is said to be one of strong
interest, and to provide Mrs. F1ske
with an original, striking and sympa-

amusement, superb scenery, historic
cities, stormy seas daring exploits-all |

elaborate he has yet had.
Interest in the appearance of Maud
Powell at the Grand opera house on
the afternoon of November Z, is not
confined to musical circles. Everyone
in this country knows Maud Powell as
one of the most distinguished of Amer

fact that the only woman violinist, who
ranks among the foremost of the
worlds great artists, is an American.
Maud Powell is acknowledged as the

given to the world and she has given
proof of her supremacy in every cor

Madame Powell will present in To-
peka is sure to appeal to everyone who
has a love for music. The secret of
