With everything from jazz to the
highest of highbrow stuff, the bills
for the week at the Novelty will have
a universal appeal,-sure to satisfy that
impulse that leads the vaudeville fan
to a vaudeville theater. Even the
serials to be shown as the opener for
the two bills are different. The first
half of the week starting Monday
afternoon, Ruth Roland in THE Tim
Der Queen" will furnish all the thrills
the serial fan desires. 1t is a true
western picture in every respect. The
last three days starting Thursday
afternoon, the second episode of THE
Day of Buffalo Biz will be shown.
This story is historically accurate and
will appeal to all who have ever read
anything regarding the turbulent times
when the Union Pacific was being
built across the continent.
After "The Timber Queen" the first
half, the Crawfords (not L. NJ. and
Roy) will appear in novelty surprise
act to tell about which would spoil
the fun. The Crawfords are followed
by Joe Jazz" Williams in fifteen min
utes of spicey syncopation. Lighted
and Coffmann present the feature act
of the bill with selections from the
musical comedy successes of the past
year. Anderson and Comes present
the skit 1.-THE Lime Kiln club" full OF
comedy and real acting. Pickard S
seals finish the bill with antics that
are interesting for the older folks and
sure fire with the Riddles.

Most persons like to laugh when
they go to the theater-they like the
happy, carefree feeling which comes
when their risibilities are tickled.
But the laugh liking crowd is
made up of that class of peo-
pie who are not attracted by slap
stick comedy and want a little rhyme
and reason to the situations which
call forth their merriment. The farce
type of comedy has this rhyme and
reason and Owen Moore, as its fore
most exponent, has therefore estab-
lished a following among the best
people who are in the habit of at
tending motion picture theaters thru
out the country.
Those that saw "a Bachelor
Daddy" will remember the clever
little children in the picture. owen
Moore is supported by five little
Riddles that romp thru the picture
even as they did with Thomas
Meighan. Marjorie Daw and Kathryn
Perry are in the cast. Kathryn Perry
was selected by a group of New York
artists as being the most beautiful
girl in New York. Douglas Carter,
he of the dusky hue. who claims to
be second Bert Williams is a natural
born actor. This is his second picture
and he works in it like an old head
at the game.

the biggest and longest laughs they
have had in some time at this picture.

ORPHANS OF THE STORM

SUI the success of the average motion
picture. but in this, his latest master
piece. Griffith has used many thrills
in telling his story of Robert Danton,
the French revolutionary leader, the

. theme of the play is pathetic, sweet
sand toward the close boiling with
action. 1t tells the story of the two
orphans. one of them blind who find
themselves in Paris at the outbreak
of the French revolution.
Here are a few facts regarding
"The Orphans of The Storm" which
the public should know.
1t took twelve months to make ii.
Eighteen months were spent in study
and research in order to reproduce
the scenes faithfully. Twenty-six tons
of properties were imported from
France to be used in the picture.
Each scene was photographed from
three to ten times before Mr.. Griffith
was satisfied with it, The wigs for
the actors cost more than what is
usually spent on a five reel picture.
The stage play THE Two Orphans
was first presented at the Union Square
theater in New York, December, 1874
and was played over 1000 times by
Kate CLAYTON and over 10000 times
in the other theaters of the United
States since then. The reproduction
of scenes in Paris covered fourteen
acres at the Griffith studio on Long
Island.
Because of its length, this film will
be shown only two times daily. There

can arrange so are being urged by

performances in order to lessen the

been made for THE Orphans of the

more than So cents, making it the
first time in the history of Topeka
that first run of Griffith picture
has been played at less than 81 admis-

If the dinner gown is of lace it is
fashionable, and If it is gray in
color no more can be asked of it.
Gray and black are considered the
smartest shades for fall and in
combinations key are very popu-
lar. Lace is used in many of the
newest dinner and dance gowns and
it is more often colored than not.
All the pastel shades are in high
favor while gray and silver tones
probably lead even black and
cream in the lace world.
This dinner gown is fashioned OF
gray lace combined with gray chif-
fon. Points are the distinguishing
feature of the gown. The skirt
hangs in four poists which extend
even below milady's ankles. A
point of the lace forms a trimming
on the front and back panel of the
blouse and the entire sides and
sleeves are of the lace. A black
bone and jet girdle marks the
waistline which continues low on
most of the new gowns.

1t had come to her-Gertie Cum
mings-the most wonderful thing
on earth, the love of the man to
whom she had given her heart
without hope that he would ever
be more than her friend.
Tom went up the narrow stairs
with her, his arm about her waist.
At the door of the flat, he once
again raised her face and kissed
her, then their faces glowing, hap
happy in the first acknowledgements
of their love, they entered upon the
homely scene.
Supper was on the table, a late
supper, delayed purposely in the
hope that Gertie and Tom would
return in time to share it. 1t had
been happy Sunday for those who
remained at home as well as for
Gertie. Tim was now walking
without a crutch, using only stick
to help himself about the room;
Jennie had passed all her eXamina-
tons, and had been wonderfully
pleased by flattering remarks; Mrs.
Cummings, loving mother that she
was, rejoiced in her children's hap
piness, and was happy herself be-
cause they were.
Mrs, Arnold had been in, and had
shown a little neighborly jealousy
which did not detract from Mrs
Cummings good feeling.
We've got hot biscuits, Gertie!"
Tim called as the two lovers APP
peared. Hurry up, you and Tom
or they'll get cold!
Eyes, Tim Gertie answered a
new note in her voice that caused
Mrs. Cummings to glance keenly
and quickly at her; then at Tom
Norris, who answered the look:
"Gertie has promised to marry
me, Mrs. Cummings. Will you trust
her to me?"
Gee! You bet she will" Tin
broke out and in spite of his in,
jury hoped about on his stick, toe
excited to keep still.

that the erection of these temporary
buildings could be avoided, as the

Broadway and Central avenue in
the near future. But the rapidly
growing bible school made addl-
tional room necessary at once.

CITY TAX LEVY IS
SUBMITTED TO TAX
BOARD FOR ACTION

The proposed city tax levy Of
.0101 for 1928 was submitted yes
terday to the state tax commission
at Santa Fe by City Manager Bert
H. Calkins. The proposed levy is
slightly over the 1922 levy which
was .009S2. Both levies are eX-
elusive of county, school and flood
levies.
Careful study will be given to the
figures and the commission will
probably act upon them within the
next few days.
