EVERY GOOD EDDIE"

Repeated encores showed the JOY
that Topeka audiences felt IN the
termination of their long winter OF
discomfort in regard to the lack OF
good attractions at the Grand. Some
twelve encores for such number as
II Wish 1 Had Million" indicates
the pleasure which Very Good Eddie"
afforded two good sized audiences
VERY Good Eddie" was reminiscent
of the Mcintyre and Heath production
of the Ham Tree" Like that peren-
NAL it had an excellent dancing chorus
good to look upon and lacking IN only
one department-the singing. There
was not a singer of class in the whole
cast, but the song numbers We're pre-
sented with so much pep, good LOOKING
costumes, good comedy and clever
dancing that the majority of the aud
fence left with the impression of nav
ing heard some extraordinarily good
music.
The lyrics, for instance, were not up
to High links" music, but the chorus
and principles could have sung "Old
Hundred" and drawn encores.
Were he equipped with a good tenor
voice, Burford Hampden. need never
leave the light of Broadway, for his
impersonation of the man who wears
a collar size thirteen" was chuckle
and a roar thruout. And Dave. Fer
guson put forth an entirely new YER
sion of the musical comedy hotel clerk
and in a manner equal to an Al Jolson
portrayal of the same genus. The lit
tie Problem Play skit' put on by Miss
Harvey and himself was a bit of well
done caricature. Vallie Martin GER
tainly enacted the part of honey
moon bride to perfection. Loretta
Marks was the chief beauty of the
show and did some effective dancing
with Jack Squires. The rest of the
cast were good quality padding for
the principals.
Very Good Eddie" disentangled
from the music could have stood alone
as a clever little comedy. The costum-
ing was good and the production as a
whole was not "skimped" in any par
ticular. Topeka audiences will remem-
Der the work of Dave Ferguson and
Burford Hampden and their names
should be a drawing card should they
ever return.-D. r. H.

Half Inch of Snow.
The snow here Sunday netted only
.05 of an inch of moisture. The snow
fall was half an inch. The sunshine
and moderate temperature today were
expected to melt practically all of the
snow. The storm was general over
Kansas, reports to the local weather
bureau indicate, and low temperatures
prevailed this morning. Dodge City

sas with low reading of degrees
Concordia reported degrees while the
low reading at Wichita was IL.
Duluth, Mimi, was again the coolest
place in the United tSateS with read
ing of % below zero.
The highest temperature on record

NO PEACE MOVE YET
Pope Benedict Not Attempting tc
Mediate-ItaIy Discusses Terms.

Rome (via Paris), Dec. 1s.-Pope
Benedict has no intention of attempt
ing to mediate among the belligerents
at present according to a statement is
sued today at the vatican. The state
ment says that neither the pope nor
the holy see have made or wish to
make any comment regarding Ger
many's peace proposals and that,
therefore, any announcements attrib-
uted to them are absolutely unbound
ed. 1t is added that the pope natur-
ally has an ardent desire for peace but
that he does not believe any interven-
ton at the present moment would
hasten it's conclusion.
The net result of several resolutions
introduced in the chamber of deputies
regarding the German peace offer and
a prolonged discussion among the SEN
ators and deputies was the decision by
the legislatures that no peace would
be accepted unless in accordance with
national aspirations and the rights of
peoples based on the principle of ma
tionality. If such a peace is impossi-
BILE to obtain automatically it was de-
elared that it must be obtained by
victory Of arms.
