be one of the best in the repertoire of
this popular company. Special scen
ery la - carried. Some clever singers
and a number of good vaudeville fea

One of the best events of the thea

Substitute," which will be seen at the
Grand next Friday. "The Substitute"
was written by Beulah M. Dix and

watermelon is of seeds. Mr. Figman
has established himself as a sincere
artist by his admirable portrayal of
"The Man on the Box" and it is said
that "The Substitute" will add mater
ially to his reputation. It is a play
that affords him opportunity to show
himself as an actor of character as
well as comedy. The scenic produc
tion will be very elaborate and Mana-
utation by his work in staging such
successes as "The Ninety and Nine,"
"The Wife," "The Charity Ball," and
many other noteworthy productions.
This play still holds its intense inter
est and when seen here Saturday night
will be presented with a strong cast.

Forrest; Thurlow Bergen and Ann
Warrington, comes to the Grand TueS'
day, March 16.
Miss Roberts will appear In the new
play by Seymour Obermer. called "The
House of Bondage." This piece has
already occasioned widespread com
ment, through the boldness of its
theme, which deals subsidiarily with
the ethics of the medical profession
with a love Interest, of course, predominating.
Obermer is said to have written not
only a play of tremendous originality
and force, but one embodying cua
logue of great rhetorical charm. It
affords Miss Roberts' splendid emo
tional gifts fullest sway, and also gives
Manager John Cort an opportunity for
a tasteful production whicn is maae
the most of.
The Clansman.
This production, which has proba
bly been discussed more than any oth
er during the last ten years, will be
be seen at the Grand. Friday nlgni,
March 19. This clay is supported by
a strong cast this season, and notwith
standing the fact that it has been
seen here several times will prove a
strong attraction for local theatergoers.
"Buster Brown."
For Saturday night, March 20, the
management of the Grand has secured
as its attraction "Buster Brown," the
master success of the year in the field
of musical comedy. "Buster Brown"
needs no Introduction, for we all know
his face all the children have worn
clothes fashioned after him. It needs
only be said therefore that this is a
third and all new edition or the com
edv in every feature. The scenery.
costumes, music and songs . are epic
and span with newness, while the cast,
headed bv the little chap who fairly
exudes mirth. Master Rice, is away
ahead of any yet seen we are prom
ised. "Buster Brown" should be large
ly welcomed.
At the Majestic.
The bill at the Majestic theater for
next week is an exceptionally strong
one, and is probably the strongest
which has been seen at this popular
nlavhouse for some time. The fea
ture act is Mile. Somerville and her
ten thousand dollar horse, "Colum
bus." The horse executes such move
ments as a waltz, two-step,- buck
dance, pasamala, high step cake walk
trot and side canter, and backward
canter, being the only horse in exist-onf-A
which can do these tricks. We-
nona and Francis, two of, the best rifle
shots in the world have been secured
and will prove a strong card. They
offer a challenge of five thousand dol
lars for their equal. This is the same
rifle team that featured with Buffalo
Ttm on his FuroDean trip. James and
Lucia Cooper have an interesting skit
for next week entitled "The Chattering
Phnma " which is said to De very gooa.
The Youngs have an interesting
nmoriv transformation, act. Leona
Lester, a singing and dancing come
hot, i another attraction. Glen Wag-
o-nner will sins the illustrated song and
the Majestlscope moving pictures
complete the bill. .
At the Novelty.
What promises to be one of the
most delightful vaudeville bills of the
season has been provided for next
week at the Novelty theater. Heading
the program will be the famous
World's Comedy Four, a male quartet
that has won the highest praise all
over the Orpheum and other high
class circuits of the country. This is
said to be one of the best singing or
ganizations in vaudeville and in addi
tion to Its vocal abilities the company
offers a splendid comedy entertain
ment. Another feature that is herald
ed as a top-liner will be George Evers
and his boys in a great comedy black
face act. A distinct novelty will be
offered by Ernie and Mildred Potts,
who will present their bag punching
and dancing specialty and Inness and
Ryan will be seen In thetr clever sing
ing and comedy act. The sensational
features of the bill will be furnished
by Valveno and Tresk, a team of per
formers who will offer some startling

Beginning with Monday night,

and 20 cents, will be restored at the
Novelty. Manager Miller states that

Another change to be noted is the
-withdrawal from the Child Labor

Whittler Club, of Leavenworth, and
the appointment of Mrs. Katheryn
Eddy of the same club to fill the va
cancy. Miss Devlin Is contemplating a

Although the Kansas Dav Tubercu

countered Inclement weather, yet the
cry was heard, for reports are coming
in or work done ana runds sent to Dr.
Van Horn, secretary of the State Asso
elation for the Study and Prevention
or 'lniDerculosis.
As necessary a money is to the
prosecution of the work, yet tho In
terest awakened in the publin mind,
its attention upon so vital a suhject,
Is of primary importance, hence the
appeal to the club women of Kansas
for their help and co-operation.
The pluckiest thing of which we
have learned, was the effort of fair
young ladies of Leavenworth who, as
a committee from their club, went
forth in the Kansas blizzard on Jan.
29th, and took in $120 for the Tuber
culosis association.
Mrs. W. W. Wood of Horton. pres

of Wichita will spend the month of

to support a visiting nurse to work

It Is estimated that the work cannot
be begun without $800 pledged. The
plea Is made for 400 women to pledge
$2 each and with what the clubs will
vote from the treasury the work can
be carried to a successful conclusion.
