COMPOSED WAR MARCH
Clayton Postmaster Gives Kansas
Regiment Music To Fight BY.

Clayton, Kan, March 6-This Nor
ton county town is coming in for a
good share of war honors. Forrest
Cook Castle, "a years old, and born
and reared in Clayton, is the COM
poser of the seth Division march, the
official military march of the Kansas

music school or hear a better brass
band than the average country or
ganization.
He is also the composer of several
marches. His knowledge of music
was gained by perseverance and hard
study. The division march is in the
hands of the printers, and will be
printed soon. 1t will be dedicated to
the Kansas boys. and a copy will
be sent them as soon as received from
the publishers.

1T is A GOOD SHOW
'.NIary's Anlle' Here Again Tonight
Is Full of Comedy

Not at all the kind of a production
the name would suggest, ''Marys
Ankle" came to the Grand Tuesday
night and proved to be a really whole
some and bright little comedy skit, the
fun and situations in the last two acts
comparing more or less favorably with
Turn to the Right" regarded by
Topekans as the star comedy of the
season.
The general idea of the production
seems to follow the general basic lines
of a certain French studio play of the
brand popular some years ago.
Yankee impudence" is substituted in
the lines to be great extent for the
French spice" In the first act May
Tully, the author, seemed to have diff
ficulties getting under way and
working up to the main issue" The
actors didn't have much to say and
used considerable time and converse
ton saying it. The more adventurous
of the Grand clientele which was scat
tered thru the house betrayed inter-
est which was followed by pleasure
and supplemented by enthusiasm dur
entertained.
And, oh yes, Mary's ankle. 1t
wasn't such bad looking ankle at
that as displayed with a ''coy modesty"
by Amy Leah Dennis, the star actress
of the cast. The dainty member was
III 81 uiopidycu III d lIlOSl unusual way
for the American stage today-in
bandages. Later the bandages were
removed and the ankle, having had
the audiences attention called to it,
proved a very distinctive feature The
cast. altho small, was well balanced,
and was as good if not better than the
lines. Bert Leigh, Edward Butler and
Donald Macleod, as the three young
men counting elusive Miss Fortune,
furnish the foundation for the comedy
moments. Gertrude Mann, Louise
Sanford, May Wallace, James Hester,
William J. Morrisey and Royal Cutter
are the other actors Their work was
individually well done. The scene
closing the last act is more than usu-
ally beautiful The production plays a
matinee this afternoon and perform
ance tonight. ''Mary's Ankle" is a
good bet" H. Z. c.
