Big preparations are being made
for the benefit performance next week
of "The Red Cross Nurse," by the Car
Rob Co., at the Grand. This bill is a
pretty military play in four acts laid
during the time of the Spanish-American
war, gives an, excellent opportun
ity for some clever scenic effects and
some good acting by the members of
the company. Mias Robinson will be
seen as Phyllis, a rich heiress who
leaves a beautiful home to take up the
work of the Red Cross in Cuba. Mr.
Moody will be Ernest Travera. cap
tain of Company H. Of course after
the war is over, all return to New
York, where Phyllis marries her sol
dier sweetheart.
A portion of the gross receipts for
the entire week will be dopated by
the management to the Red Cross so
ciety. Tickets are being sold by a
number of different societies and a
big attendance is looked for.
Manager Carter has secured the as
sistance of the members of the Kansas
National Guard and they will be seen
in the production, making possible a
very realistic battle scene In the sec
ond act where the American soldiers
take the Spanish Block house after
a desperate charge. The third act of
the play depicts the hospital tent
showing the nurses waiting on the
wounded men. An elaborate produc
tion is promised and this is the first
opportunity Topeka has had to help
this worthy cause, big houses should
' rule all week.
Tickets are now on sale and can oe
secured either at the Grand box office
or from various committees.
"Help Wanted."
"Help Wanted," the play which
Oliver Morosco regards as his succes
sor to "Peg o My Heart." will be the
first dramatic offering of the season
at the Grand opera house, Tuesday

in the leading role.
In support of Mr. Kolker, the cast
includes Grace Valentine, who handles
the leading feminine role, Franklyn

Klosson, Katherine Emmet, Lillian El
lintt and other who contributed to the
remarkable popularity of the play dur
ing Its run from ' Christmas to the
Fourth of July at he Cort theater,
Chicago, last season.
The thrills, the laughter and the
heartaches that go with the day's work
in the big office buildings where sit
the men who dictate the destinies of
preat business enterprises, are blended
in a powerful story in "Help Wanted."
Radcllffe Series.
Madame Johanna Gadski, the noted
ainger, will open the. Radcllffe concert
series October 23 at the Grand.
Madame Johanna Gadski. Who Will
Be the First of the Radcllffe Series

Miss Myrtle Radcllffe, director of the
series, called on Mme. Gadski in her
rooms in a big Chicago hotel a few days
ago. The singer dispensed her hos
pitality in true German style. The sing
er spends her summer month on long
motor tripe with her daughter and is
now ready to open another successful
season on the road.

singers. Her voice is . said to be ex
quisite and she has achieved fame and
popularity wherever she has appeared.

Cohan again has put to his credit the
most amusing play seen here since he
gave a grateful public "Get-Rich-Quick
Wallingford." An announcement of im-1
portance is the fact that the cast to
appear here is the same identical one
that presented this farce in Chicago
and New York.
Potash A Perlmutter.

"Potash and Perlmutter," the famous
comedy of the cloak and suit trade that
Manager A. H. Woods will present at
the Grand Opera house direct-from its
second year at the Cohan theater. New
York city. The three-act play is one
long riot of humor humor broken from
time to time by pathos and suspense
enough to form a. strong dramatic con
trast which holds the audience spell
bound until the very last word is
spoken.
Lyman Howe Pictures.
For real novelty and wholesome
amusement, the animated cartoons
that are one of the features of Ly
man H. Howe Travel Festival, are
in a class by themselves. They invari
ably afford comedy that is in divert
ing contrast to the more dignified
views of mountains, cities and seas.
In the new program that will be pre
sented at the Grand soon, they will
add more gayety than ever to the joys
of "traveling with Howe." The trav
esties of the serious subjects are of
the most amusing nature imaginable.

women . first come out in a fife and
drum corps, later as an orchestra and
as singers. They present an excellent
musical program. Most of the girls
are individual soloists.

tions of Franz. Schumann, Straus.
Grieg, Reger and others.

which consists of dancing with, several

Venus, who is the feature for the first
half of the week Is said to be an oper

and much beauty. Her art poses from
the famous salons of Paris are said to
present a most artistic study of visual
beauty and exquisite art.

a musical act before a special setting
that promises to be distinctly original.
The scene is supposed to represent a
California orange grove on a moon
light night. Miss Mack sings while
her partner accompanies her on the
'cello. A big surprise is offered when
the oranges on the trees are made to
give forth musical sounds.
What is said to be a -clever sing
ing and dancing skit will be presented
by Martyn and Valerlo who introudce
Borne new singing and dancing with
comedy interspersed here and there.
The act is said to be entirely new and
quite different from the greater num
ber of acts of this type playing the
middle west.

sess voices that blend in more than
ordinarily good harmony and should
register one of the hits of the bill.
The Three Martyns will offer a
novel equilibrist turn that is expected
to be both new and original. Their
twenty foot leap from a trampoline to
a hand-to-hand balance is but one of
their many different feats.

oddities. Billy Kinkaid, the pride of
