Here's tip for folks who are prone
to say, after missing the best thing OF
the season or in years, IF I had only
known what it was going to be-"
Clinton, Iowa, a goodly town with a
creditable daily paper, the "Adver-
tiser," regards Robin Hood like
this:
THE performance of Robin Hood
was attended by the largest and most
representative audience of the season,
and the opinion at the close was that
the delightful opera was never better
done. The light, sentimental theme,
set to music. seemed to be entered into
by principals and chorus as well as
orchestra in the happiest manner, and
both the humorous situations and the
tender, impressionistic portions were
given adequate rendition. Robin
Hood teens with all the joyous, care
free spirit of youth, with just an
undercurrent of the serious, and it's
music was heard by last nights audi
ence with the highest appreciation"
Robin Hood" is at the Grand today,
matinee and night.
Billy King.
Billy King with-his great colored
troupe will play return engagement
at the Grand next Friday and Satur-
day. The same cast will be used on
the return engagement and the same
great singers ana cancers. Inc Billy
King show made a deep impression on
their visit here two weeks ago and
was claimed to be the greatest colored
performance Topeka has had the
pleasure of seeing for many years
King will bring his great comedian,
Higgins, with him, and those who saw
the show before will remember him
Las a wonderfully funny man. The
same prices will prevail. The seats
will go on sale Wednesday, mail or
ders taken now. The Billy King
Musical Comedy company will be here
next Friday and Saturday with a
matinee Saturday afternoon.
Lambert Murphy.
Lambert Murphy is one more shin
ing example of what American musical
talent and native training can accom-
plish. There is certainly no more
finished and thoroly enjoyable concert
tenor in the country, and the fact that
Boston and New York supplied all his
singing education is naturally some
thing that American music lovers are
proud of.
He is a fine representative of that
company of native artists which in
ciudes Garrison, Werrenrath, Braslau,
Hinkle and Alcock, Americans all
without any European musical train
ing. Walt Whitman could surely hear
''America singing today.

one of the funniest farces ever pre-

whip from 10 to SO feet long. Pathe
News as usual will add greatly to this
extraordinary program at the Or

Added Feature.
G. l. Hooper has added another
feature to his good program at the
Orpheum for the first three days of
next week. He contracted with Texas
Fred Mott, the famous rope twirler
and whip snapper. Mott. has just
returned from the coast where he
appeared in three of William s. Hart
pictures and one with Tom Mix Mott
will give a demonstration of rope
twirling and has little exciting nov
city in his whip swapping, using from
fifty to ten feet whips. Mott spent
all of last season in New York at the
big Hippodrome with the Dillingham;
production, doing his turn in the
show. This should prove an interest
ing feature on the program.

FRANCES TRIBUTE TO
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

The French people issued a procla-
nation to the "-,o,- ward Bound
Americans" when tn.c f,-t of the A. r.
F. were embarking fo- their native
land. This proclamation was an sr:
probation of the land of Laf,yette to
the American Soldier. T..s r.a,.b
government has had t.is t:,..r.
printed for distribution among the
ex-soldiers. 1t is neat 32.naoe
pamphlet and is something that everv
American Soldier who saw French
soil should have.
1t has been intended by the French
Government that this memorial
should be presented to the American
Expeditionary Forces before thew
left France, but it was not ready in
time to be given to all. However, de-
termlned that our men who fought
overseas should know that the French
Government appreciated their sacri-
flces, their heroism and their achieve
ments,it has requested that the memo
rial be presented to them individual
ly. Soldiers and former soldiers of
the American Expeditionary Forces
can obtain copy of the memorial at
Army Recruiting Station, P. o. Bldg,
Florence, S. G..
The French Government regrets
that the supply of this pamphlet is
so small that it cannot be distributed
generally, for it contains abundant
proof that France as a nation and the
French as individuals appreciate in
full measure the glorious record of
American Arms in the war on Prus-
sianism. The pamphlet is brief
history of what Americans
accomplished. 1t includes also inter
esting figures as to the devastation
wrought by the invading enemies and
of the great financial and commercial
losses inflicted upon the land of La
fayette.
Even though it involves little
trouble, every reader who is entitled
to receive one of these pamphlets is
urged to obtain one, for as time goes
on, souvenirs of the World War be-
come scarcer. This souvenir will 90
down to posterity as a mark of your
service to the Nation during the
World War.
