Attraction Coming to
Theater.
Last week the Lincoln played to
packed houses. This was the answer
to Mr. Goldmans question as to
whether our group desires the same
program of photo-drama as shown at
the Newman, Liberty, Regent, and
other downtown theaters. Every
woman, the greatest morality play
ever produced, met with success.
Especially as it was staged with Mr.
Joseph Butler, the talented DuBois
dramatic star, appearing in person
in the character of Nobody. Every
they have ever seen.
Lincoln Program.
The Lincoln program furnishes a
splendid 2-hour entertainment of the
highest type. It consists of a feature
picture, a two-reel comedy and an
educational picture. Although Hi
Cost has knocked the worth of a dol
lar into thirty-three cents, we still
can see a splendid evening's enter
tainment for Seventeen Cents at the
Lincoln.
Pollyanna.
Pallyanna is a glad play. The
whole story can be summed up in its
teaching, "Find something to be glad
about, even under the most distress
ing circumstances." This is wonder
ful philosophy. For centuries the
Good Book has been offering the con
solation of this philosphy t the suf
fering, n Pollyanna it is applied to a
story of modern life. When you come
to see this drama, come prepared to
laugh and cry at the same time. It
is so human, so simple, so interesting,
that you will feel your heart going out
to vour unfortunate friends.
Pollyanna met with great success
at the downtown theaters, at which
it appeared. It is one of the most
talked about plays of the year. Never
has there been produced a picture
that has influenced greater goodness
than this Glad Play. Mary Pickford,
the greatest star in Filmdom, appears
as Pollyanna and is supported by an
all-star cast. Playing at the Lincoln
May 2 and 3, Sunday and Monday.
No change in prices of admission.

drowned Johnny's widow here's the
certificat and the ring. Better grab
this chance for a good home while the

That's how little Betty Blair, worn
out after a hard season on the road
with a cheap thcutrical company,
came to be occupying the false posi
tion in an aristocratic Southern fam
ily of widow of the only son. The
death of young Hale would have made
an avaricious cousin heir to the es
tate were it not for the widow, whom
the cousin tries to prove phoney.
The return of the supposedly dead
hero turns the story into a spicy
channel when he discovers his bogus
widow and is forced, because of his
mother's ill health and the machina
tions of the villain, to keep up the
deception. The entrance of the real
wife on the scene brings the story to
a climax 'tis surprising as it is happy

William S. Hart.
Following an announcement of
several weeks ago of Hart Nights.
William S. Hart, or "Two Gun Hicks"
(as his admirers often call him), will
appear in "Tiger Man," Wednesday,
May 5. The story of the play U3 laid
in the Far West when men pioneered
the new lands. It is full of action
and startling developments. The
followers of the Hart series should
not fail to see Tiger Man, for hero
they will see their hero in all of his
glory and at his best.
Do Men Betray?
A powerfful, thrilling drama, "Do
Men Betray?" will be the headline
feature for Thursday, May Gth. To
tell the story of the picture here,
would take away some of the beauty
of the story, as it is really a big sur
prise as the plot of the play de
velops. Added Attraction.
Charles Chaplin provides the dou
ble program for Thursday, in his
presentation of "The Champion." The
Champion brings out Brother Chailey
in his funniest mode. There are very
few. Chaplin pictures being released
and it is really a rare treat to see one
occasionally.
Border Legion.
On Friday, May 7th, the Lincoln
provides for a Special Big Feature
Bill, exhibiting eleven reels of pic
tures. The feature will be the Border
Legion, the story of which has just
been completed as a serial in the
newspapers throughout the country.
Thousands of people in Kansas City
followed the star's story and pro
nounced it as the best Zane Grey
story ever filmed. The downtown
theater which showed Border Legion
several weeks ago, play to capacity
houses. It is rumored that another
downtown theater is going to bring
it back for a return engagement.
Big Serial Starts.
Friday evening will also witness
the starting of "Trailed by Three,"
now being played with tremendous
success by the Globe Theater. It will
be shown every Friday evening there
after for fifteen weeks. No serial has
been released during the past few-
years that is so novel in its develop
ment nor more thrillintr and .hair-
raising in the startling escapades. It
pulsates with action from start to
finish and lags at no time during the
story. Your suspense will last from
the first to the last and closing epi
sode. The play was written by the au
thor of "In Old Kentucky." Chas. T.
Dazey. We are therefore assured of
a good, clean, wholesome and orig
inal story, the trail of the drama
leads from the luxurious apartments
of New York into and out of the
darkest nooks of Asia an dAfrica.
Stuart Holmes and Frankie Mann are
the stars of thi3 fascinating serial.

with organized baseball onco more.
The Sun remembers the day that Jack
Johnson drew as high as $1100.00 to
a single game In the' days &hen base
ball was not what it is among Ne
groes now.
The Kansas City Monarchs will
play their last game Sunday, May 2,
at Association Park before leaving for
the opening of their league games at
St, Louis, May 9th.
The club has been a little slow in
rounding into shape on account of the
bad weather, but Manager Mendez
says that with a little hot weather
his men will be up there battling for
every game. So far the club has been
playing with several of the regulars
out of the line-up. Bare, the Cuban
outfielder, so far has failed to report.
Blukoi, the reliable second sacker, who
the fans all remember with the All-
Nation Club, has been delayed on ac
count of sickness in his family, but
wired Mendez that he would be here
in time to leave with the club. Ro
gan, one of the regu:ar pitchers, i3
expected to arrive every day.
When Blukoi arrives to fill in at sec
ond base we will have a wonderful in
field. With Rodrigques behind the
bat the club has a wonderful catcher;
on first base Big Blue Washington, a
new man from Los Angeles, Mendez
says he has a find, a hard hitter and
a player with lots of pep. Mendez
on short needs no boost, as he is
known as a great player; on third
Portuonda, the little Cuban, is with
out doubt the class of the league. The
outfield is McNair, one of the best in
the business; in center will be Bare,
the Cuban; right field is yet to be de
cided on, depending on who shows
best among several recruits. In the
box Kansas City has a great looking
pitching staff. With John Donaldson
and Sam Crawford, two of the best in
the country, and Rogan, the best
pitcher in the regular army, the Mon
archs have a staff that will win many
a game. Rube Currie, a home boy, is
making a great impression and should
easily make the team. Charley Light
ner and Cunningham, two more re
cruits, are showing great form and
with a little experience will make
good ,and both will likely be carried
until Mendez has a chance to give
them a thorough trial.
The game Sunday promises to be a
great battle, as the Wilson Club has
the pick of the city of star ball play
ers, and has secured Roy Sanders, tha
big league hold-out, to pitch for them.
Sanders is considered one of the
best in the game today and if the
Monarchs beat him they will turn a
trick that Rube Foster's club and the
Blues failed to do last season.
With Donaldson or Crawford pitch
ing Sunday, the fans are sure of see
ing a great pitchers' battle.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUILD A HOME NOW. I
This vital problem that is facing Kansas City today
may be presented from both the financial and idealistic
viewpoints.
Kansas Citians are proud of the place this city is taking
and the rapid growth in its population, but what is being
done to continue this growth on a healthy basis? There
is a crying need here for homes. Because of the astound
ing development made in recent years Kansas City has been
given nation-wide publicity of a desired and deserved char
acter, bnt the good effect of all. this will be more than
offset by the unfavorable impression made on new-comers
by the lack of housing facilities. Those in positions do
so should build.
By building we can benefit social conditions both for
the individual and the city, as the development ot nome H
life is the most important factor in the wholesome growth jj
of any community. We might go on 'endlessly showing 1
the relation of owning a home and its good effect on citi-
zenship, its wonderful influence on character, its benefit g
to the community, civic pride and countless other examples.
This is a city that is recognized by leading business
men throughout the nation as one offering unusual oppor
tunities aiid great prospects. Its growth, in both popula
tion and commerce, has practically just begun and its pos
sibilities are unlimited. An investment, therefore, in realty
displavs good business foresight.
NOW IS THE LOGICAL TIME TO BUILD. Lumber
prices are becoming stabilized and will not be lower than
the present rate until current production replenishes the
supply of the world. This readjustment, under present
world conditions, will be long before realization.
A BASEBALL WIZARD.
Topeka Jack Johnson Was a Leader in
the Game in the Olden Days.
v Now that Kansas City has a club in
the National Negro League, it brings
to mind the prediction of genial Jack
Johnson, known as "Topeka Jack,"
that some day Kansas City would bo
on the baseball map. And the Sun
has no hesitancy in saying that no
man did more or worked harder to
give Kansas City a baseball reputa
tion of the first type than Jack John
son and he has a multitude of friends
who would like to see him connected
