Powder River at the auditorium
the last half of the week is the biggest
movie thriller ever shown in Topeka
and contains more tense climaxes to
the foot of film than the most thrill
ing serial ever made
Perhaps the biggest feature of the
show. which is here under the aus
pices of the American Legion; is 1,40O
feet of film captured from a German
submarine commander which shows
the C-boat U-35 sinking twenty-one
allied ships and casting the crews
adrift on the storm swept ocean. Five
ship captains of English ships are
shown taken prisoner by the subma-
rine crew. 1t shows the grim defenses
of the Kiel canal and Helgoland, the
Rock of the North Sea. The Germans
are shown cheering the hopecominS
of the submarine at Kiel and the re-
ception rendered the U-boat crew for
their CHASTITY deeds
The soldiers from Kansas are shown
performing their heroic deeds of ac-
ton at the front. An exceptionally
fine strip of film shows the 130th
Field artillery, with Topeka's own
Battery A Smelling the HindenburS
line from battery positions in the
town of Narrennes, captured by the
boys from Kansas. To those who have
never seen the pictures of the both,
this film is a revelation. 1t depicts
many boys from Topeka and other
Kansas towns. boys who are known
to many Of the home folks. toiling in
the huge muddy pits at Varrennes

THE SUNFL OVER MINISTRIES

That Topeka has plenty of material
for the stage was demonstrated by the
performance given at the high school
auditorium Thursday night by the
Sunflower -minstrels, under the aus
pices of the Topeka Poultry Breed
ers' association
Except that the program was too
long, and one or two acts in the sec
ond part dragged slightly, the show
was a very creditable one. The min
strel troupe has some excellent voices
and the work of the end men was first
c.ass. Lou Vesper and Mel Lungstrum
were the stars of the evening. They
are peerless comedians and there is
not a suggestion of the amateur in
their work
formances to be given by the Poultry
Breeders association this summer to
raise funds for the poultry show in
Topeka next winter.

legal necessity that Miss Baker estab-

twenty-one days before a license to

There is one alternative. The arch
bishop of Canterbury is allowed 70
issue a special license on short notice,
