Orpheum, Kansas City.

A double headline offering will be
presented at the Orpheum for the
week of March &c. featuring Cecil
Cunningham and Emma Carus. Miss
Cunningham is new star in the
vaudeville armament, with unusual
ability as comedienne. She was
formerly prima donna with the Gill
bert & Sullivan Opera company, and
for her vaudeville offering Jean
Havez the well known song writer,
has provided Miss Cunningham with a
repertoire of descriptive numbers,
with clever lyrics and tuneful music.
Miss Cunningham is young woman
of fine appearance, splendid voice, ana
a rare ability of putting a song over
Emma Carus has starred, or CO.
starred. in so many musical successes
it would be difficult to enumerate
them She is well known in Kansas
City, having appeared there many
times, and is a big local favorite.
This season she is assisted by Neal
Stuart, a clever young dancer, and to-
gether they offer a noval arrangement
of songs, music and dance.
Ralph Dunber, who is the producer
of many musical novelty acts, is re-
sponsible for the Singing Bell Ring
ers, a company of five excellent mu-
sicians, featuring Lloyd Garrett, the
famous boy soprano. Their offerings
are taken from popular and classic
bells used were specially cast for use
in this act.
Ave1ing and Lloyd are two clever
young comedians who were recently
featured at the Winter Garden, New
York. Their patter and songs are
bright and up-to-dates and their COM
edy and personalities are especially
pleasing.
Johnny Dyer and Frank Fay in
What's 1t All About present a lit
tie singing and conversational offer
ing that tickles the palate of the most
jaded vaudeville appetite. Each does
something out of the ordinary and
does it uncommonly well. The songs
they sing are their own material and
were written by Frank Fay.
Tom Davies and his company of
four will present a clever comedy
sketch showing the marital troubles
of husband and his suffragette wife.
The comedy situations are excellent
and productive of laughter through
out.
Max LIE Hoan and Mile. Dupreece
offer a pretty novelty of sharp shoot
ing and instrumental and vocal mu-
sic. The electrical effects in this act
are unusually novel.
The Orpheum Travel Weekly, which
completes the bill, will depict a clever
animal exhibition by Nine. Oxford s
| elephants.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT

Rev. Paul Gates has accepted a
call from the First Baptist church at
Liberal. A day or two after he &C
cepted the. Liberal call he was also
elected to the pastorate of the First
Baptist church at Mound Valley,
Kansas. Mr.. Gates is a graduate
from the Ottawa Kansas University
and also graduate from the Bap-
tist Theological Seminary Of Roches-
ter, N. Y. He has made preparation
for his work and now enters the field
with good prospects for success. He
is Pratt boy and we are pleased to
tell of his success. - Eastbound
Rock Island passenger train No. 2
was delayed over an hour one day
last week, west Of Turon, when the
hot sun-it was 100 degrees here and
probably hotter out in the country
caused the rails to expand and kink,
forming a miniature letter s. The
engineer saw the wavy track and
stopped the train, section men being
called out to replace the rails. Rail-
road track men say heat will cause
any rail to expand and 1t is for this
reason space is left between the rails.
When the pressure from the expan-
sion gets too strong kinks occur and
the rails pull out spikes and some
times snap in two. Wrecks have
been known to be caused by kinked
track This is the first case report
ed near Pratt this summer as rail
roads have been watching their track
closely for heat damage. A piece is
cut from one of the rails and they are
replaced so that traffic is not inter-
rupted for any length Of time.-Pratt

The regimental exchange of the
First Kansas is also open now. The
receipts Of the exchange Of Battery A
