AT The THEATERS.
Novelty Review.

Novelty this week, is the most attrac-
tive of the pretty actresses who nave
been here in some time. Miss Mitch
| ellis singing numbers were excellent
Tom Swift and Hazel Kelley, in the
same sketch, divided honors with Miss
| Mitchell in the cleverly written and
acted piece.
Fred Jarvis and Frederick Har-
rison had no trouble whatever in get
| ting more applause for their efforts
than any other act on the bill. Their
spicy conversation of unusual merit
| won their spurs.
The Midori troupe of japanese
acrobats enlivened the scenery with
some realistic tumbling. The Jamai-
son Duo, two young ladies, harmon
lied well. Ell Gotta, modestly billed as
the greatest xylophonist that ever
lived, did not quite come up to this
magnificent title. Paramount trav-
elogues showed tropical Florida and
parts of Kingston, Jamaica.-S. j.
Hip Review.
The Turista duo presented a mu-
steal act at the Hip theater last night
that was at the Novelty theater last
season. The Turistas made a success
in instrumental as well as vocal num-
bers. The Lovejoy trio glided and
sang through their act which was of a
high order
was the principal picture. Another
three reel photoplay, a powerful
Madame Barastoff' was shown. The
picture program changes Wednesday
with a feature and another change in
pictures and vaudeville will be made
Thursday.
Grand Review.
For those who like the old fash
toned repertoire show the Robert
Grandi Stock company at the Grand
theater this week is offering credit
able performance. The company open
Mt
Orange Blossoms" last night Tonight
the Man of Mystery will be the bill
and there will be a new play each
night of the week.
The Grandi company uses the plan
of specialties between acts that has
not been seen in Topeka for years. A
quartet made up from members of the
company did some clever singing
Lillian Leigh is the leading lady with
the company and the Grand brothers,
Robert, Art and Carl carry the heavy
end of the work.-E. W. w.
At the Crystal.
The event of the week at the Crystal
will be the presentation "Wednesday
tional star, Marie Tempest, in her
movie debut miss Plum's Pudding"
in five parts. In the words of Miss
Simpson, state censor, the play
abounds in everything that goes to
make good entertainment-com
pathos and action. There will be no
advance in the price of admission.
Miss Tempest was in Topeka late last
season in Nearly Married" and she
scored a tremendous hit.
Electric Review.
can Alien is an arrangement of the
old "Sign of the Rose" in which
George Beban was enthusiastically re-
ceived throughout the country. An
shown all this week at the Electric
theater, which opened its new season
Monday.
George Beban's makeup in the pic
ture is realistic and perfect in every
detail. His acting is great as the poor
Italian and throughout the play he is
the center of interest. Bebans work
had many people in tears at the Elec-
trio last night
The picture is a Thomas Ince pro-
duction It's story is gripping and all
the actors and actresses take their
parts commercially. On account of
the great length of the film, no vaude-
vile is being presented now at the
Electric IAN Alien" is a photoplay
that plays upon the emotions and
would be cheap at half dollar prices
The Electric admission is only a dime
