plays the leading role in The Phan-

was delayed by a Kansas hurricane at
Newton. Travers played the leading
role in The Phantom Buccaneer' at
the Cozy Monday and Tuesday.
But the Kansas weather is some
thing one can't gamble on. Travers
knows it now, and a perfectly white
shirt. stained blue as a result of a
two hours talk in a movie show at
Newton will attest to the fact. There
was a hurricane at Newton and it
was up to Travers to keep the people
interested and prevent a stampede. He
kept them interested until the hurri-
cane was over, and perspired until his
suit faded on his shirt
Travers is a Canadian by birth. He
has had two brothers killed in the
trenches.
You don't believe it?
Neither did the reporter this morn
ing until Travers displayed two offic-
ial kilograms from the British war
department at London, notifying him
of the death of his brothers. TraverS
has volunteered in the Illinois infan-
try and is subject to call at any time.
How old are you, Traverse" was
asked.
I'm above the exemption age" he
replied. Don't put my real age down
because if L ever get back 1 don't
want to be put down as a grandpa"

fy He is a student, too, he knows
the history of this war better than 80
per cent of the Topekans do. He talks
war in his curtain talks, as we'll as

peka is the first city he has visited
where the quota on the draft, the
Red Cross and the liberty loan has
been filled to the letter.

city in the nation
Travers talks tonight all the time
the pictures are thrown on the screen.
No one can dispute he is a movie star
and he is merely going from place to
place talking the war and intimate
scenes behind the screen until he is
called to mobilization camp. Travers
isn't unknown to Topekans. He was
the principal figure in the movie con-
vention at Topeka last summer.
Travers will leave Topeka tomor-
row morning for Chanute unless he
receives a call to report for duty at
headquarters at Chicago.
