WANAMAKER'S
The Keeping of a Store
Like This

Is quite different matter from the common
bookkeeping.
We believe we have an entirely different theory
Of merchandising.
Instead of taking in everything that can be sold
at profit, we do what the cottagers do at some
seashore resorts, namely, we put up at windows
and doors a species of mosquito netting strong
enough to shut out every kind of merchandise that
leaves bite or sting upon customers.
Studying closely our customers likings, we
secure at sources of production and purchase for
immediate cash down what we believe they DESIRE
and mark everything at fair prices at the beginning
Of the season, which prices adjusted afresh with
every change in the markets, so that they sell
quickly and that do not need to have odds-and
ends helter-skelter hurry-scurry sales every week
and hurly-burly, come-quick, riddance sale.
Does it not seem silly to put such big prices on
when the goods come in and then be obliged to mark
them down so much to get them sold?
Think it over for yourself

Y AT THE GRAND last night the Royal
Hawaiian Quartettc staged return en-
gagement that proves something about re-
turn engagements. Topeka likes a show
better after it has seen it once. The
Hawaiians were here several weeks ago ac-
companying the Doraldina picture 1.-THE
Woman Unframed" They played a full
weeks run and did only fair business.
Since that time the folks who saw it must
have done some talking and yesterday ar
ternoon as well as last night, despite a
record breaking audience at the concert
over at the auditorium, the Grand had
nearly full houses. You win.
The Hawaiians have a different program
of musical numbers for today and tonight
but the offerings by the Hula dancer could
not be improved and are the same as when
she performed here several weeks ago. See
ing her stuff the second time did not hurt
the optics so one could notice it. The
Doraldina picture is something different
from the usual run-a novelty in the screen
game, to be exact. The star one of those
actresses who believe that she must do
something besides pose and wait for the
sub titles to tell what her part in the
show is all about In other words it Is
all action to the last fade out

this production require that three
complete stage crews are working be-
hind the scenes all the time the show
is being produced.
Jake" Shubert who has charge OF
the road productions for the Shuberts,
has two special pets among the thirty
one that are now touring the country.
One of these is the Al Jolson company
and the other the Passing Show.
Jake" is not little superstitious
especially with the things he is most
interested in. WheI. The Passing
Show started o. the road three years
ago he was advised by all his staff to
cut down the attraction to save ex-
pense. Cutting a show is bad luck in
lakes" code of superstition and for
that reason Topeka will have this one
real chance to see an original New
York cast Shubert had to raise q
lot of salaries to keep some OF his ac-
tors on the company pay roll while on
the road, but he did and they will all
be here two weeks from tonight. 1t
will be the biggest theatrical attrac-
ton of the season.

Only Seven Other One-Night

Superstition by Shubert Reason

Only eight one night stands in thir-

by the Passing Show which first
opened at the Winter Garden in New
York, March 20, 1911. 1t shows at
the Grand here for a matinee and
night Saturday. February 26. That
was the news passed out last night
by Manager Roy Crawford.
The Passing Show is the original
of the extravaganza revues which for
the past decade have swept the coun-
try. As it will appear in Topeka. the
company is comprised of 131 people
of whom nearly a hundred appear on
the stage. It takes a special train to
carry the show from one engagement
to another. The performance required
three hours and five minutes actual
stage time. That does net count the
time between curtains anu there are

You've read countless times of the
innocent country girl who was lured
to her ruin by the slick city Teller. In
ITO Please One Woman coming to
the Isis next week, the process is
reversed.
The bucolic maiden is just aching to
desert the straight and marrow, path,
having taken as her ideal a certain
vampirish woman who is the talk of the
village. But the city-bred gentleman,
into whose arms she tries to throw
herself, fortunately possesses more
sense and discretion than she does
He brutally tells her that she is a poor
imitation of ac''vamp," not even being
pretty. His frankness wounds her
pride and saves the day.
This is just one of the interesting
bits in ITO Please One Woman" a

and screened by Lois Weber. Miss
Weber, who is the first woman to at
tain prominence in the producing end
