PLAZA

A splendid variety bill of vaude- vile and photoplays was offered pa- irons of the Plaza yesterday and each feature was warmly welcomed by the enthusiastic crowds.
 , "The Musical Festival" a merry melange of music and song featuring the Four Manning Sisters, a quar- tette of beauties whose harmony in several well chosen numbers brought vociferous applause and who are ably supported by no less than five other charming and talented young women who play a variety of instruments. The scenic establishment and cleo trical effects greatly enhanced the beauty of the offering while the cos turning end showed traces of pains- taking care on the Dart of the modiste. ' The success of Hal and Francis, an unusually clever team, was spontan- eous for their skit was original from the start to the finish and they had a rather pleasingly eccentric manner of separating you from laughs before you were quite aware of their inten- tions
 Allen and Morton, a pair of color ed entertainers in songs, dance and nonsense were cordially greeted and Edwards and Louise who perform some uncommonly difficult balancing feats in a most surprising manner and who keep you smiling the while they do them completed the vaude- vile attractions.
 Anita Stewart appeared in the leading role in .sThe Glory of Yolan- da." It is sufficient to state that Anita was her natural self all the way through. playing with your heart strings as she always does. It's a splendid story and we'll told.

Amusements
POLES

There's a big laughing treat in store for you if you'll step into Polls and see the famous Billie Reeves in his ~-neW -skit, 'sThe Right Key But the Wrong Flat Internationally famous asu'fthe original drunk MT. Reeves is at his best in this bit of hilarity. He. is the very talented drunk" who, though screamingly funny, never in the least becomes bit offensive. What happens when Billie and another gen. tleman get slightly twisted on their apartments after a large eva0ing furnishes laugh after laugh. MT. Reeves is well worth seeing.
 Another big comedy hit ts the oeor- ing of Foster & Lovett, called Who Who.' Both young men, who have a lot of snappy comedy, serve as volun- taer drummers and get a whole lot of fun out of Johnny Porter's flock of instruments.
 Jack Kennedy & Company registered a, complete success in Willard Mack's comedy playlet, Don't Do It. The story tells how a threatened divorce suit is halted and the piece sparkles with brilliant comedy lines.
 The Durkin Sisters, a pair of comedy girls. have very pleasing song pro- Sf dlA lHdl won them instant IaVOr, and Holden & Graham, in bits of vaudeville that embraced nearly ev- erything on the variety calendar.
 The photoplay feature is "One Touch of Sin," a gripping society drama in i've acts. Miss Gladys Brockwell is tsarred in this drama which tells an unusual story.
 What the country is doing in the matter of preparedness, as result of the international situation, is shown Tn the Hearst-Pathe News which con- tains many interesting views.

Fol lowing "The Cheat he renewed his popularity in "Alien Souls''-"The Honorable Friend" and his more re- cent vehicle, 'srhe Soul of Kura-San." In all of these MT. Hayakawa has been seen as a Japanese, but, his fa- miliarity with East Indian types and characteristics, which he displayed in '"The Victoria Cross as well as his Oriental cast of features, make him most acceptable as high caste East Indian.

CIRCUS PLEASED ALL
Ringing Bros. Two Performances in
Topeka Were Well Attended.

Twenty thousand attended the af-
ternoon and evening performance of
Ringing Bros. circus at the state
fair grounds Wednesday. The entire
seating pacity of the big tent, II, 900,
was filled at the afternoon perform
ance and 5000 attended in the even
ing.
The Cinderella spectacle partici-
pated in by almost the entire circus
was something new, original, spectac-
ular and pleasing to both audiences.
May Wirth, a pretty Australian girl,
advertised as the worlds champion
bareback rider, lived up to her title
and probably brought more applause
than any other single performer.
Trapeze work was fully up to Ring
HngS standard. japanese u-jitsu
wrestlers, wood choppers, trained ele-
plants, tight wire walkers and all the
other performers necessary to make a
circus complete, were to be seen dur
ing the performance. The clowns
this year didn't cause the laughs they
did in former years.
