OF MONTE VISTA"

1.-THE Romance of Monte Vista"
was completed Thursday and the
film is now in Kansas City, where it
is being developed and printed. Mr..
Shellhorn, the producer, expects it
to be returned early in the coming
week and have it ready to show at
the Iris next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Each day there will be
special matinee to accommodate the
country patrons and those who can
not attend at night
The photographing of the various
scenes all over town has been the
center of attraction the past few
days. Large crowds watched the
production of the picture with eager
interest. Monday the run by the fire
department and the rescue scene at
the home of l.. B. Sylvester were
taken Several hundred people from
town and country watched these
scenes. The onlookers have been en-
tertained by the comedy that was
pulled off in carrying the story to its
conclusion.
Mr.. II. G. Trapp, who plays the
part of the unwilling father, is the
unfortunate victim of some original
comedy in his wild chase after the
eloping couple, Miss Emma Glen
Macarthur and Mr.. Earl Heaton.
All members of the cast have done
splendidly and the producers are
highly pleased with their work be-
fore the camera and the cooperation
and congeniality of the entire COM
pany.
There is no doubt that the show
ing of the valleys first movie will be-
greeted by packed houses at the Iris
during. the matinee and evening
showing the last three days of next
week.

DRAINAGE ACTION
is FAVORED

At a meeting of the City council
Thursday night, a resolution was
adopted looking toward favorable
action on the installation of sewer
drains n Monte Vista. In another
column of this paper is a notice set
ting date when the council will
consider all objections to the pro-
posed plan.
For a long time number of part
les have been at work on this propo-
sition and the matter has finally
come to a pont where it has been
definitely recognized by the city. The
over r-burdened present sewer system
and the unhealthy conditions exist
ing in certain sections of the town
have made relief imperative.

LOSES HER BABY
Mrs. Cuff, Cabaret Singer, Re-
fused Custody of Child.
Former Topeka Theater Man.
ager Is Granted Boy.

Mrs. w. P. Cuff. cabaret singer in
Kansas City, lost the fight for the
custody of her baby when Hugh Mac
Farland, judge of the probate court.
refused to grant a writ of habeas cor
pus for which the woman had made
appIicat ion. That left the child in the
hands of the father. w. P. Cuff, for
mer manager of the Orpheum theater,
who, the mother alleges, kidnapped 1t
from her in Kansas City.
Tho Cuffs have two children. Mrs.
Cuff had both of them with her in
Kansas City and was supporting them
by singing at the Pennant cafe. She
alleged that Cuff took the younger
child from the place where she had
left it and brought it to Topeka. She
came here three weeks ago and tried
to secure possession of it. All she could
do at that time was to start habeas
corpus proceedings. The child is with
Mrs. Walter Plummer at 100 Monroe
street. Mrs. Plummer is w. P. Cuff s
sister
Judge MacFarland did not pass
upon the fitness of either the father
or the mother to have the custody
of the child. There is a divorce suit,
brought by the wife, pending and
Judge Mcfarland held that until
some order was made by the district
court the father had as much right to
the child as had the mother. The
only question before him was the
habeas corpus and he refused to grant
the writ.
Mrs. Cuff brought with her to To-
peka Eva Peabody, IS years old, a
former chorus girl. The girl was
brought for the purpose of testifying
against Cuff and she did so. Mrs.
Cuff. after the case went against her,
told her attorney she had only money
enough to take herself and Miss Pea
body back to their homes. She told
1t with tears and the attorney, Doug
