"THE MASQUE OF LIFE"
\ Departure From Usual Photoplays
VIII Re Seen at Orpheum.

THE Masque of Life a picture
production somewhat different from
anything yet shown in Topeka, will
be the special feature at the Orpheum
for the first four days of next week.
This IS the unusual combination of
romance, hate, tragedy, mother love,
heart-throbs, laughs and tears, exploit
ing no star in particular, but punctu-
ated with many a thrill
The thing most talked of by the
peopIe who have seen the picture is
the work of Pete Montebello, the
monkey star which provides much of
the excitement One of his stunts is
to climb to the top of the $50 loot
tall chimney with a baby under ms
arm. At the top of this chimney there
is a thrilling fight between the monkey
and the heroine of the story who goes
up the chimney on a guide rope 10
rescue the child.
Rather large expense was entalled
in the production of this feature, the
COMPANY claiming the sum of 100000
was spent. According to advance press
matter THE MasQue of Life met with
unusual success in New York ana oth-
err eastern cities where it has been
shown.
William S. Hart will be seen the lat
fer part of next week IN THE Desert
Man" Margery Wilson plays the lead
ing part opposite mai NCSo
enough of the western work to inter-
est all Of his admirers but his prlncl-
pal efforts are directed in this pro
duction toward instilling enthusiasm
into a community which has lost hope
in itself.
A youngster. little Buster Irving,
two dogs and n horse come in for Spe-
cial mention in the latest Hart picture
The tale is of the Mojave desert Hart,
in the role of grim, firm Tipped man,
brings prosperity to the desolate town
of Broken Hope because he has faith
and energy to accomplish big things
While Margery Wilson is the girl who
attracts his attention to the lonely lit
tie town, she wanders away with
suave doctor, vet the Desert Man"
maintains his belief in the girl. The
stirring scenes of the play come when
Hart, fierce with wrath, rides to Il
notorious dance hall TO which little
Buster a waif of his adoption, has
been taken and then and there cleans
out the place.
Closing the week at the Orpheum
is William Desmond in Paddy
O'Hara.'f He takes the part of a
newspaper reporter assigned to the
front in the Balkan warfare. He per
forms some daredevil stunts, scoops
the other writer's and wins a princess
whose father has been forced from
his castle by his enemies.
