AS MAN TO MAN.

Grady Montgomery, manager Of the
Iris picture show, has taken exceptions
to the recent protest Of the Pottawat-
omfe Indian and the newspaper man
against picture show music of the pres
ent day in Topeka. In fact. Grady is
peevish about it. Grady has an electric
piano in hts show house and he claims
that 1t makes better music than most
pianists in town can make. Grady goes
further than this. He offers to bet real
money that he can put his piano behind
a screen and the newspaper man and
the Indian cannot tell whether it is
played automatically or by human
hands. And his bet will not be taken.
Grady also goes on to state, in fretfu1
fashion, that he cannot afford to cater
exclusively to a Pottawatomie Indian
and a newspaper man who prefer a
wheezy piano and q trap drum to the
soulful rendition of the best music in
the world.
And come to think 1t over, Grady is
right. He claims to know more about
the picture show business than the In
dian or the newspaper man. He does
