HEARING 'ENI SAY 1T.

There's a line or two in kick In"
the play with the rather meaningless
name that proved to be one of the
most interesting and delightful of the
dramas that have been presented in
Topeka in years. which is probably
significant of the mood these days of
not a few or the folk who transferred
their dramatic affections almost eX-
clusively to the movies. The come
dienne. a love-lorn girl of fifteen or
sixteen, and her mother, whole
souled rooming-house landlady, have
been given tickets for legitimate the
atrical performance. This kiddo has
been a movie fan ever since she was
old enough to go to picture shows.
But she tails into raptures of enthu-
siasm over the opportunity that has
unexpectedly come her way to attend
a real show. And in a little solilo-
guy she graphically emphasizes about
the only deficiency of the filmplay;
but it is some deficiency. I've seen
King Baggot and other swell guys
making all kinds of love and pro-
posals of marriage to a lot of swell
danes for three years." she says. or
words to that effect "And gosh, how
I'd like to hear 'em say it, And
whole lot of people, ardent admirers
of the photo-play. undoubtedly have
the same hankering. If it We're only
possible to hear 'em say it, in the
movies the stage would do we'll to
pack its wardrobe and retire from
the spotlight for all time. But you
cannot And that's why the movies
have not succeeded in putting the
drama out of business entirely. And
because you can't "hear-'em say it,"
is probably also one of the certain
resons why the drama will eventu-
ally come into its own again. OF
course, the drama will never crowd
the movie to the WALL nor will it's
return hurt the movie as much as the
latter's rush to the fore injured the
drama. The movie has a wonderful
field that will always be its own And
then. too, there is plenty of room for
the best of both. But the drama will
come back" Those who should be
in a position to know say it is all
ready O. the way. And its recru-
descence will be fastened by the fire.

thrilling merit as Kick In" are pre-
scented tc the public. and in such a
wholly adequate manner as this piece
is interpreted by Norman Hackett and
the company supporting him.

Many, many miles away from the
garden where Billy Robin and Mr.
Garden Toad and Tommy Tittle-mouse
made their home. lived a cunning little
creature whose name was Bushy Bea-
YER He didn't live near a city. not
he. His home was Geep in the woods
and as far from the dwelling of men
as he could get. For, you see. Bushy
was a shy little fellow and had never
seen enough of men to overcome his
fear of them.
Indeed it was hardly likely that he
ever would be a friend of man, for
hunters were after hiEl all the time.
The first lesson his mother ever gave
him was a lesson in hiding. You
must watch. watch, watch all the
time" she had said. for those men
creatures want your beautiful soft
fur They will kill you if they see
you. Learn to watch and listen and
keep yourself in hiding"
SO Bushy had learned his lesson.
and now, when he was full grown. no
creature of the woodland was more
careful than he. He could slip out
from his home. swim quietly through
the water ana even get his dinner
without attra acting the attention Of any
hunter who might be near. No Won
der his mother was proud of him-he
had learned his lessons so well.
Bushy was a pretty little fellow,
too. He was only bit larger than
your pet kitty. and his queer, flatrened
tail was almost half IS long as his
body. This tail was his rudder when
he was in the water. His front feet
were small and were only used when
he was on land. His hind feet were
good sized and webbed like a ducks
clear down to the nails. When he

close up to his body and swan with

tail. Bushy's body was covered with

EQUAL SUFFRAGE INEVITABLE.

How the times change. One of the
most forceful arguments in favor of
woman suffrage that has been pre-
scented in some time comes from the
United States. senate committee on
suffrage in its favorable report on the
socalled Susan B. Anthony constitu-
tional amendment that provides for
equal suffrage. Not so many years
ago and it was like pulling eye teeth
for the woman suffrage workers to
obtain so much or little from the
United States senate as a hearing of
their cause. Equal suffrage is as in
evitable in these United States and in
all other democracies as was full male
suffrage. And the time is certainly
ripe for it in this country.

PANAMA SLIDES.

Scientists who have returned from
an investigation of the slides that have
put the Panama canal out of business
for many weeks report that they are
not of a serious character. Which
would seem to warrant the deduction
that no slide in the canal would be
really serious unless it put the great
waterway out of commission for all
time. But wouldn't a slide of the pro-
portions of the last one be rather seri-
