AT The THEATERS
At the Novelty.

Almost any place one will hear
favorable remarks about the vaude-
Vile bill at the Novelty for the first
half of this week. Some seem to think
that Boudipi Brothers with their ac-
cordeon work are the best, while
others say the "Spooks" act with
Whipple, Houston and Co. is the best,
and while the first act is not very
much force, the work of Bensee and
Baird in "A Wee Bit O. Scotch and
the Landry brothers with their rope
stunt make up for the deficiency.
AT the Hip.
The Gold Rooster play THE Closing
Net" at the Hip yesterday added an
other feather in the cap of this excel
lent service. Howard Estabrook who
played the star role is a very capable
actor and promises to become a
favorite with Topeka film fans. The
play will be repeated today together
with two acts of vaudeville. Tomor-
row and Friday Gladys Hanson sup
Clyde Fitches play THE Climbers
will be the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon
offering.
At the Grand.
The German Side of The War pic
lures being shown at the Grand for
the first five days TO this week are
very interesting and show that the
Germans are some fighters, also that
they are not lacking in food supplies
TIE operations of the large 80 cent?
meter guns are simply marvellous. The
march across the mountains gives
splendid view of some of the beautiful
European scenery
Billy Clifford.
The question arises, why is the sue
cess of Billy S. Clifford in the clever
musical satire Walk This Way" Sew
eral good reasons might be given, in
facts myriads of them, but the con-
sideration of few of the most essen
tial will do here. First@Care mas

| Clever to the extreme as a comedian
Third-In selecting supporting com
pany to most capable lead, only the
very best talent possible was to be
secured and one only needs to see the
