AT THE ORPHBUM. it was demonstrate
ed yesterday that tie public and partlcu-
larry the Topeka public like its MOVIES light
and funny during the hot weather. Cupid
The Cowpuncher" is one of the rollieking
bits of comedy farce very much like B. NJ.
Bowers stuff. It's western without being
oppressively so, in fact the western part
of it is almost matter of setting alone.
VIII Rogers is in fact becoming one OF
the most liked men on the screen in par
ticular department Of the/game. He is the
distinct opposite of the beautiful male
stars Of a few years ago and perhaps el. It $
him so humanity hkable. Then, too. his
ability to act and really express what he,
Is supposed to express that puts him over
strong He always seems to get into ex-
actly the right kind of part and-well
what more could one ask
Louis jacobson opens the bill with two
songs. His, high clear tenor is unusual
and singularly pleasing, especially in his
rendition of Ave Maria, his main offering
for the latter part of the week.
AT THE GRAND. we find some more
of the light comedy in 1.-The Girl With the
Jazz Heart" the only difference being in
where a telephone girl is the central figure.
How she NEEDLES in other people affairs
and eventually realizes the dreams of her
heart is really worth taking a look.
Madge Kennedy makes mighty good
phone girl of the happy go-1ucky type and
the the tG she ehs gun alone cannot nc; help
on the eyes and gosh. how she can wear
clothes when she gets a chance.
AT THE CRYSTAL-Elaine Hammer
stein one of the screens most charming
headline attraction the last half of the
week. She will be seen this time in pleas
ure Seekers" wherein role of Mary Muir
dock is a typical Hammerstein part and
the feelings of the observer is divided be-
tween sympathy and admiration for the
courageous girl who quietly but firmly
wins her way to happiness.
AT THE NOVELTY-The bill is far bet
ter than that which started the week,
there being three and possibly four acts
each of which are on par with the best Of
the bill which preceded this one. Despite
the hot weather outside, yesterday after
Moons crowd seemed most chilly at the
only because of so much ice and liquid air
displayed on the stage when Andrews and
May gave q demonstration of the almost
magical properties of liquid air.
1t took Ackland and Mae in one of the
peppiest highland acts that has been here
in many moon, to warm the gang to the
responsive stage where it called for more
and demanded that its demands be an
swered Ackland himself actually got some
music out of the pipes but it was his in
fictitious laugh and the twinkling steps of
Mae that bought the applause from "out
front"
Van and CantwelI were here nearly a
year ago, with about the same line of stuff,
but no one else can put that grade of
hokum over anything like this pair so yes
terday's gang received them with all the
enthusiasm they received on their first
appearance. Edwards and Fletcher have
good voices and know how to get a song
for more were registered. The bill is fin
ished with as good demonstration of high
aerial ring work one will see out at the
circus lot today.
