Soldiers Get Every Benefit
From Smileage Books.
Theatrical Promoters viii Not
Make a Penny.
GOOD PRODUCTIONS PLANNED
Old FavOrites will Be Revived
for Camp Casts.
Troops Will See 50 Productions
for 80 Cents.

Many Topekans have an idea that
the Smileage book campaign being
put on in Topeka by the Rotary club
is a proposition for this personal gain
of the theatrical people. This is a
mistake. No profits will be made on
the Smileage books by any one. The
government knew that the average
American wants a little fun and en-
tertainnent mixed in with his hard
work so the government undertook to
provide this entertainment thru the
Liberty theaters and tents in the can
tonmentS- 1t called in some of the
best known theatrical men of the
country to handle the work.
These men receive no pay for doing
the work and everything that has been
done and will be done in providing
these amusements will be entirely vol
untary or at actual cost. Practically
all of the actors and actresses chorus
esrls and chorus men. stage hands and
every one else connected with the
theaters or the companies are giving
their services free and the receipts
from the SmiIeage books go to pay
only the expenses of the performances.
Only the operating expenses of fur
nishing the entertainment are intended
to be collected from the sales of the
Smileage books or whatever receipts
there may be at the doors of the the
aters.
In this way the soldiers will be en-
abled to see big Broadway productions
which would cost the ordinary citizen
80 for 80 or 40 cents.
Four comedy companies are already
assigned to this new field. They are
Broadway organizations. presenting
accepted Broadway successes-''Turn
to the Right Cheating Cheaters;"
Here Comes the Bride:" Inside the
Lines"
Plans are now in the making to re-
vive the musical comedies and light
operas which the men have liked in
past years-'"The Prince of Pilsen;"
The Red MILL THE Chocolate Sol
dier;" Robin Hood" and the Gilbert
& Sullivan cOrnpOSitions
