LONDON THEATRES
ADOPT REvUES
EVEN THE MORE CONSERVATIVE
HOUSES CHANGE CHARACTER
OF THEIR PLAYS.
(By associated PreSS.)

London, Dec. 2.-The craze for the
revue has extended from London's va
riety theatres to conservative play
houses. Five of the leading West
End music halls took up the revue
early in the craze, leaving only three
to variety and now a well-known home
Of comedy, which has brought cut
more successful light plays thaa any
other in London in recent years, has
Just announced a revue, making the
fourth legitimate theatre to go over to
the revue as against the seventeen
producing plays and musical comedies.
The revue has swept all before it i'll
the suburb and provincial theatres.
The English revue Is quite different
from the French original. 1t lacks
the wit, political satire and topical hts
of the French and simply aims TO
amuse an audience of the tired bust
ness man type In its general scheme,
it is little more than the conventional
English musical comedy robbed OF IFS
remnants Of plot and made frothler
than ever. It's trimmings either come
from or are modelled on New York. A
knockabout comedian or two, dapper
actor with good voice for senti-
mental songs and a chorus of girls,
who appear in new costumes at every
entry. go to make the current revue.
The chorus man has almost entirely
disappeared, owing to the preJud'c0
against "slackers" or men of military
ACE who are not doing their Bit In
one of the road companies to appear
here recently the male chorus was
composed of small boys, dressed IN
the latest Piccadilly cut. But girls or
dinarilv take the place of chorus men,
Revues apparently fill a niche OF
their own in wartime. Officers on a
short visit from the front or just Out
Of the hospital or away from the camp
and soldiers on similar leave seem tC
crave mental relief of this sort. They
make up by far the most of the male
rart of the audiences. Manners are

DID YOU GET A CALL?
Schuyler Nichols Has New Scheme to
Boost Ball Game Attendance

Did you get an invitation over the
telephone to attend the ball game this
afternoon? If you didn't, it was be-
cause the chain didn't reach you in
time.
This morning the hello girls were
kept busy making connections for
people to invite other people to at
tend the game. The plan was organ
lied by Schuyler c. Nichols, assistan MT
ticket auditor for the Santa Fe, and
was put into execution by ]. Will
Kelley, of the Commercial club.
Twelve men were called from the
Commercial club and invited to at
tend the game. Each of these twelve
men was asked to call five others and
request that each of these five call
five more and make the same re-
quest.
The scheme started an endless
string of calls, and almost every one
who was asked gladly consented to
assist in passing the invitation along.
And so, if you were not called it was
simply because your name WASH
reached before game time.

SUMNER SCHOOL
This Is Registration Day for
Beginning of Washburn Term.
More Than 100 Students Will
Attend Topeka Institution.

The increased popularity of sum-
mer schools in colleges throughout
the country was indicated today by
the announcement of Prof. w. A.
Harshbarger of Washburn that more
than 100 students had registered for
the June IA to July "a term of hot
weather learning"
Summer schools a few years ago
were a novelty. Lately they have be-
come a regular department of all
larger schools. Students have learned
that they may make up from one-half
to a full years credits by attending
the summer classes. To the student
who is anxious to make college de-
grees quickly, or the student who is
behind in credits, summer school is a
matter of economy and added eff
ficiency.
At Washburn, Director Harshbar-
ger has made the classes most gen.
eral in their scope. He covers many
departments. The instruction is high
grade.
The courses leading to college
credits include astronomy, biology,
chemistry, education, English, French,
German, Spanish, history, mathe-
MATES and physics. Courses in high
school grade will be given in any sub
ject for which there is sufficient de-
manG.

COREY LOSES HIS SUIT
Supreme Court Refuses to Compel

The supreme court today refused TO
compel the payment by Republic
county of a claim filed by L. f. Corey
for cattle condemned by a deputy in
the live stock sanitary department and
killed under a state order. The suit
tested the state law regarding the pay
ment for losses of live stock and Corey
brought mandamus proceedings in the
court to collect.
A number of cattle were shipped to
Republic county from Illinois by
Corey, When disease was found in
the cattle were condemned and killed.
The county refused to pay Corey s
loss. since the cattle had come from
another state and had rot .heen prop

by the county. however, anu the court
held that this animal should be paid
for. For the remainder of his loss
Corey must look elsewhere if he would

KANSAS FARMERS
IN The SADDLE
Bad Times Ahead for the Spec
ulatOrs in Wheat.
Plenty of Money Available. to
Hold the Crop.
THE BANKS ARE FULL OF CASH
Anybody Can Hold His Wheat
for Better Prices.
Dealers Likely To Be Caught
Short on Futures.
THE BANKS ARE FULL OF CAST

Grain spectators who are planning
to get rich this summer at the expense
of Kansas wheat producers have a bad
season ahead of them. The banks in
the wheat belt are filled with money
The bankers want to loan the money
and w. F. Benson, state bank COM
missioner, believes there is an excel
lent chance for Chicago and Kansas
City spectators to be caught snort
on July and September deliveries II
the fight to hold down prices is con-
tinued.
This week P. E. Laughlin, assistant
bank commissioner, pointed out that
the wheat market had taken forty
cent slump He declared that the
market quotations revealed the oper-
atoms of grain spectators who had
already contracted tc sell several mil
lion bushels OF Kansas grain at prices
ranging from $1.25 to S1.45 bushel,
but We're striving to force the market
to IS cents in order to increase their
profits. Commissioner Benson, who
returned today from California, de-
clared that the job of separating the
Kansas farmers from their wheat at
sacrifice prices was not nearly so easy
as it looked.
Plenty in Banks.
There is plenty of money in the
banks to take care of the wheat crop,
said Benson, and if any one suffers,
II Is largely MS own 1ault. MOI only
are the banks in the wheat counties
filled with money, but this money is to
loan and the bankers are anxious to
take care of their local Gust Omers. l
haven't followed the markets closely
during the last few weeks. but if there
is campaign to force down the prices
at the expense of the producer, the
speculator will have a rough time of 1t.
Different Last Year.
Last year the situation was differ
emit" said Benson AT that time the
banks were not in their present pros
porous condition. In fact they were
not able to handle the wheat crop and
conditions forced many farmers to sell
their crop early. This year the banks
are in the best possible condition and
every wheat raiser can readily get
money on his crop by placing it in ele
vators and insuring it."
Topeka men who are in touch with
conditions in the wheat growing dis
tricts of the state declare that the adj
vances sale of wheat has been lighter
than in many years. This condition,
it is believed, indicates that the farm
ers propose to hold their crop until
prices become normal.
