AFFAIR OF GREAT DIGNITY
Daily Opening Of Session Of British
House Of Commons Is a Csre-
monious Matter.

The recent retirement of Hon.
William Lowther, who was speaker OF
the British house Of commons for IL
years, has given rise to considerable
comment on that Job. which Is one
Of great dignity. The opening Of the
daily session Of commons is itself an
affair Of much solemnity.
First comes the speakers attend
ant. wearing evening dress, with .
gold badge suspended from a chain.
AS he approaches the inner lobby
from the corridor the sergeant
shouts. Hats off, strangersw and the
procession Immediately enters the
lobby. Following the speakers attend
ant comes the sergeant-at-arms
bearing the massive gold mace. Some
body recalls that 1t was Oliver Crom-
we'll who cried, Take away that
bauble," and for the time wrecked q
custom that was speedily revived.
The speaker follows the mace. he
Is attired In a black silk gown. full
bottomed wig and silk knee breeches,
the tail Of the gown being lifted from
the ground by the speakers attendant,
also gowned In silk. The chamberlain
and the speakers secretary bring up
the rear of the parade.
II Is said that the stranger who
was inclined to smile at this display
had only to glance at the face of the
speaker to check his levity. The
latter's composure and the fine dignity
of his mien. robbed the ceremony Of
all stagineSs.

Interest has been aroused thru the
announcement recently made by the
J. W. Jenkins Co that the Eight
Famous Victor Artists are to again
appear in Topeka at the auditorium
December 81.
What is it that has eight legs and
sings?" And the answer is "A Quar-
tet." Those who heard the Peerless
quartet when it appeared here last
season will speak for the excellence of
their ensemble work. For the benefit
of those Who do not know the men
in the organization the following is
given.
Albert Campbell, first tenor. has
gained fame thru his duets with Henry
Burr. He has a lyric tenor of pure
quality. Sm~n of stature, ne is only
) feet inches in height and weighs
around 100 pounds, his voice is of
sufficient volume to fill the largest
auditorium

lover the Kill" the photoplay that
for solid year held New York in the
grip of its great human appeal. will be
shown all next week, starting Mon
day afternoon. The picture comes
here after having scored record runs
in every theater in the east where
it was shown. Originally booked for
but one week at the Newman's Royal
theater in Kansas City, this picture
drew such crowds that it was held
over for another week and advanced
prices. Despite the advanced prices
the second week, the first weeks at
tendance records were broken.
The story of the drama is one that
cannot but appeal to all. 1t is taken
from the two poems by VIII Carleton,
over the Hill to the PoorhOuse" and
over the Hill From the Poorhouse."
As it is presented on the screen the
main theme is preceded by a prologue
in which the characters are introduced
in their childhood with Mary Carr
as the mother and William Welsh as
the father. these being the only actors
of the cast who play tn same parts
in the whole picture.
Remarkable attention to detail has
been shown not only in the continuity.
but in the selection of the cast. Each
of the children who appear in the
first part looks just like the older &C
tors who play the parts of the same
children grown up.

THEATORIALLY
Things That Would Never BE Said
Regarding Movies. ct cetera. in
ANY Other Why.
by HI.

Greatly decreased attendance at the
different numbers of the two concert
series being given in Topeka has been
noticed and commented upon recent
ly and from various angles and vari-
Gus reasons have ben advanced for
the suppo~ed falling off in musical in
terest in Topeka.
As a matter of fact there has been
no aEfalling off in interest in things
musical. There are just as many mt-
sic lovers in Topeka now as ever, and
possibly more. The great trouble lies
in the fact there are only compare
lively few real music students in To-
peka. Tho per-ons upon whom the
arrangements must draw for the big
majority of their paying guests at the
concerts are not musical in the sense
that they are techn-cians. They are
those who enjoy music but cannot tell
you in musical terms why.
These persons do not enjoy the So
called ''highbrow" stuff. What they
want Is melody. numbers that are
within their comprehension. All Of
them want to hear the worlds great
artists, not because they knew what it
all meant, but because they wanted TO
see" Nordica or Chase. etc, sing.
They had heard their voices via the
talking machine and had heard SO
much about them that their curiosity
was whetted. Now their curiosity as
to what these artists look like when
they are performing is satisfied.
They have learned that an evening
of classical music is rather boresome
to the person who cannot understand
what It means. They have been, fig
uratively speaking, snubbed from the
platform by the artists who sang
above their heads and then haughtily
demanded that the audience take
what they had to offer or nothing
The result has been that having salts
fled their curiosity and having been
thus snubbed. the Topeka concert
customers, the ones who have made
them possible, have remained away
with their money.
The great American public may not
be musical, but it will never be made
musical by artists who demand that it
enjoy what it cannot understand. The
managers of these concerts-and this
means the managers of the artists
rather than the local ones-must turn
to the ''right-about" and give more of
the so-called popular programs
which the artists themselves desp.se
or their jobs will be gone and the
artists themselves will have only their
grand opera concerts to fatten their
bank rolls.

Musketeers' memory brings a pan
Drama of distinctly visualized person
aIities, and the Outstanding character
who bewitches the Imagination
D'Artagnan. OF the whole troop,
D'Artagnan dominates the readers in
terest. Poverty, youth. ambition. cour-
age. native Ghrcwdness, extravaganza,
hot temper and good humor-these
are mingled in the agile young cadet
whose ambition was to be worthy of
j commission in the kings company
If any reader of this day We're asked
who might best typify the volatile
spirit of D'Artagnan-were D'Artag-
man to be played-the answer would
be Douglas Fairbanks, the mercuric
genius of the screen.
Dumas died before the period of
Douglas Fairbanks. but he might
prophetically have written the story
for him, since the announcement is
now broadcast that Fairbanks Will APP
pear at the Orpheum in THE Three
Musketeers" and play D'Artagnan.
And he is indeed worthy of it's fame
and worthy of it's character wealth.
Unless he can find greater material
It will always remain Fairbanks big
gest picture. AS the most enga ging
lively and dashing film favorite, Fair
banks has found the role tempera-
mentally ideal. For. consider the Du-
mas story and its opportunities.

The bill is finished by the Beatrice
Morrell sextette, who have a program
of melody and SONG.
Votes of two thousand Novelty fans
were taken the past week on whether
the theater shall continue the serials
as the menu for the movie part of the
program. So far the vote stands heav-
fly in favor of two-reel comedies in
stead of the thrillcrs. Another poll
of the fans will be taken this COM
ing week, so that If there are any
who want the serials continued they
may have a chance to register their
wishes on the proper blanks at the
box office. Only one more serial has
been booked for the Novelty and it
will be the last if the audiences decide
by their votes that they do not care
for that sort of entertainment.
