Frolic Talent.
~ Sh-h-h, don't tell a soul. The Kan
sas editors are due for a high time at
the Press club Midnight frolic,"
given in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms tonight. 1t will be a surprise
on the states scribes if the secret is
kept, but G. l.. Hooper of the, Or
pheum theater and Roy Crawford in
tend to send their best acts and make
the Press clubs program as good as
any of the midnight frolics staged
where such things were originated.
Miss Anita Arlis with all four of
her Winter Garden Boys" will open
the performance. Miss Arliss will sing
one of the songs from Chocolate Sol
dier'' in which she starred before the
nobility of England. Curtis Vance
will show some new jazz steps Ar
thur Benger will play the violin. Ed
Manley will preside at the piano and
Arthur Alton will tell some of the
latest and richest stories.
Dorothy Morris and her dancing
girls with Miss Naomi Field from the
Novelty orchestra, will show the edf-
tors something dainty in dancing. Miss
Morris is one of the best toe dancers,
who have shown here this season
and will, perform one of her original
number for this occasion. Miss Anna
Davis and Miss Mildred Streeper. her
assistants in the act, will do team
dance that brought demands for
encores at the Novelty yesterday and
today. This act is so good that it was
promoted by Manager J. r. Mack of
the Novelty. That is to say, wheu the
bill came here, it called for the girls
to open the bill, but Mr. Mack after
hearing the reception it received, made
a shift, putting Miss Morris and her
girls in the favored third place or in
the center of the bill.

their wives will meet at the offices of
