by the production. Had the Mexican
situation still dominated our inter
national affairs, The Flame would
have made more of an appeal The
whole thing seemed to have been con-
ceived and created to show the miser-
able manner in which the United
States has muddled American matters
in Mexico. This it did admirably.
Wayne Putnam, an American planter,
and Dave Carson, a Texas oil seeker,
had received concessions from the
governor of the South American state.
They had just about succeeded in
winning their fortunes when a revolu-
ton broke out and all they had done
was destroyed by the revolutionists.
Their property was destroyed; they
were insulted and their relatives and
friends killed and the United States
government not only would not pro-
tect them, but also forbade England to
do so. Carson and his family were
killed, but Putnam and his wife es-
capped thru a well, assisted by Maya, a
little Indian girl.
Between the lines there was a sort
of philosophy to the effect that gold
is not the goal where happiness is
found, and that the seeking of money
by taking great risks usually brings
great disappointments. In fact, a
close analysis might show many fine
points to the production, but as an
evenings entertainment it fell far
short in almost everything except
stage setting and scenery. t-

may be companion piece for THE
Bird of Paradise but it certainly did
not strike the Topeka audience as
being the equal of the beautiful,
musical story of Hawaii. There was
nothing in THE Flame" to compare
with the volcano scene in the
Hawaiian play; there was not the
strong climax of the final curtain in
the older production, and the plot
and placings of the scenes were not as
appealing.
The exception of Dave Carson, the
Texan, played by James Seeley, and
Maya the daughter of TERRA, played
by June Hawthorne, was an outstand-
ing feature. The 'rumba" dance and
the half hula at the bottom Of the
well were pleasing in way, and the
Green Jungle" was a bit striking -

Divorce Court King Still Hav-
ing Matrimonial Troubles.

John G. Cooper, famous king of the
Shawnee county divorce court, who

Cooper filed her separate mainten-
ance suit Judge Dana granted her
$4,000 in a lump sum and SIS a
month additional. John took the case
to the supreme court where the So
600 was chopped off.
Now, Mrs. Cooper is more specific
In her demand for more money. She
enumerates her expenses. The $4,000
was allowed in lump sum.
While Cooper was fighting the case
in the supreme court he filed n Deti-
ton for an absolute divorce from his
wife. The petition was filed in July
of this year He charged abandon
ment and admits frankly that four
valuable pieces of Topeka propertv
owned, by him are mortgaged and he
is unable to obtain more money on
them because of his wife. re also
cites in the petition that he entered
INTO a pre-nuptial agreement with his
wife to the effect that should thew
cease living together she would re-
lease any hold size might have on his
property. No action, has been taken on
the petition up to date
