Occupied This Evening.

EVSTY 10<ES9ENSu seat SrdLU w
Occupied This Evening.
When Jane Cowl makes her first
entrance on the stage at the Grand
theater this evening, she will face the
record crowd of the season. At noon
today every seat possible to purchase
in advance was sold with the excep-
ton of one single seat in one of the
upper boxes. At the same time there
was a list of nearly fifty Topekans,
their phone numbers and home ad-
dresses, waiting at the box office in
case some ticket holders changed their
minds and wanted to dispose of their
seats.
Indications also are that there Will
be a crowd waiting at the gallery en-
trance when that unreserved portion
OF the Grand is opened at 7:15 o'clock
this evening. The telephone at the
box office was being kept busy this
afternoon by Topekans who wanted to
know when the gallery opens, indi-
eating that tho they had never seen
a show from ION high" before. they
expected to make the attempt this
evening.
+ Miss Cowl and company came here
at noon today from Kansas City,
where Smiling Through was shown
to record houses. The entire west is
showing that it pays to bring Broad
way favorftes ito the provinces" ac-
cording to Miss Cowrs manager and it
is expected that the reception being
afforded Miss Cowl will be an incen-
tive for other big New York successes
and stars to "go on tour"
That the "sell-out' is having it's ef-
feet on other attractions is shown by
the fact that the "'Lasses' White Min
strels. which play the Grand tomor-
row, is already half sold out, as is the
board for the night appearance for Sir
Harry Lauder, who will be here a
week from TODAY.

vigorous opposition of New York to

the surrounding section has set its
heart.
