INTERMISSION

This season is going to be conclusive
proof as to whether or not Topekans
appreciate good theatricals enough to
offer patronage sufficient to make
them a paying proposition. Manager
| Crawford has booked the cream of
the road shows to appear at the
Grand.
1t is the first time a theatrical man
ager has developed sufficient nerve
| to bring the number of Broadway
amusements Crawford had obtained
| to Topeka If the clientele of these
shows is large enough, or even reason
a bly, large, a similar policy will con-
| tinue.
Should the city show only morbid
| interest in such attractions, as II
| sometimes has in the past, it will be
branded as a jay theatrical town and
can expect nothing better than jay
| theatricals.
| The idea is, no theatrical manager
is going to spend a lot of money put
! ting on big time stuff and lose money
on it.
And, by the way, the man who
tries to attract attention from the mob
| nv sneering the big time productions
!
for the aforesaid jay product.
In substitution for a keep out"
sign a local theater bulletined a sex
film a few days ago.
Popular song hits are slow in com
| ing this season. A lot of them are
| being advertised but the public don't
seem. to fall. Even George Conan
has failed to get the kick" in his
latest lover There"
| cover There" was written for a
"war" song but it isn't getting over.
Neither are the other 1901 war songs
that have appeared
L. Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Fried
land. for Jos. w. Stern & Company,
scored what is probably the most
| catchy popular air of the season when
! they wrote Lilly of the Valley It's
| a nut song and it has the kick and
punch.
1t is a noticeable fact that the Nc
| Kinley Music company isn't publishing
war songs. Mckinley asserts he has
| failed to find any worth publishing,
, including those already published
| Roy Crawford, returning from a va
cation, brings home fish story
The yarn Crawford, on northern
lake with a companion, fished for half
a day within 100 yards of another
fishing party. The competition pulled
/ black bass out of the water at the
| rate of one every ten minutes.
There wasn't even a nibble at
| Crawford's line Along about dusk
something tugged at the hook 1t
might have been whale from the
way it fought A half hours strug-
gle landed the catch in one end of the
| boat and Crawford in the other. The

five feet long, was dejectedly reposing

and assist Roy Crawford in running

winter.
