Novelty Review.

Teeth predominant on the Novelty
bill for the first half of the week. The
four Royals are the possessors of
these molars. A dentist would have
to be a man of muscle to yank a
tooth out of the mouths of two of
the Royals. The Regal act is original.
Chester Spencer and Leila Williams
have a neat collection of songs and
pitter-patter.
And the Show Starts Right Away"
is the title of the song hit introduced
Bret Hanlon is comedian and a good
one. Sterling and Margaret. the lat
ter young woman of perpetual mo-
ton, open the show with a series of
difficult aerial feats Paramount
travelogues bring to Topeka some
good scenes around the capital of

Hip Review.
The test of an act is it's ability to
get across the footlights. A comedian
who can produce laughs will get by, and
a rifle shot who can keep his audience
in expectancy, in view of the number
of similar acts that are on the stage,
must of necessity have something
new. The two acts at the Hip theater
during The first three days of the
week easily stand these tests. SLIDER
and North, The -+Rashful Man and
the Maid" have no difficulty in getting
the humor in their act over to their
audience. The GergaluS trio, billed as
champion rifle and pistol shots intro
duce more new features than any
crack shot artists that have ap
peared here in some time.-A. L. G.

At the Iris.
L Geraldine Farrar has given the
world in Carmen" a classic which will
live forever. 1t is most interesting
example, TOO, OF the new art OF the
photoplay. Her personality is admir-
ably suit to the screen and her facial
expression is wonderful. 'It was as
if l had left my seat and actually was
appearing in reality on the screen the
thrill was the same while L watched
Carmen said Miss Farrar, upon its
premiere presentation last week be-
fore an audience of nearly 5000 per-
sons in Symphony Hall, Boston. Miss
Farrar, with her mother and father,
and a party of friends, watched the

ira sections of the huge hall and at
the conclusion of the exhibition the
prima donna, her eyes filled with tears,
was compelled to bow again and again
to the enthusiastic applause.
