Popular Restaurateurs, in Poor Health, Unable to Secure Help. WILL LOSE NO TIME Theaters Plan Performances "Minute Flu Ban Is Lifted." Indications are that the theaters of Topeka will not have to lose time in opening when the flu ban is lifted. At the picture houses, films are on hand and ready to be shown the moment the "lifting order" becomes effective, it was said. Good bills at the vaudeville houses Will also be rushed to the city the moment the theaters have permission to open. There just one thing that may hurt--patrons may possibly have to miss one reel of the serials being shown at some of the picture houses.

This is because the serial is being shown elsewhere at the same time and cannot be held beyond a certain length of time. Those who have been following the "Agonies of Amanda" or "Perils of the Peerless Princess" may be left to wonder the balance of their lives how Amanda escaped the tortures of wild and wooly cannibals or how the Peerless Princess pushed the Pullcar onto the side track and thus saved her lover from being killed in a wreck. And all on account of the flu. But the story will go right on as if whole world knew the secret and the thrills that will follow will no doubt make for a few heart throbs that never reached the senses of To- peka movie fans.

If Trumpeter Gabriel strolls in and tells The State Journal he's going to lead a procession up Kansas avenue at a given hour, he'll have to stage the parade before he gets a "press agent" notice--that's all. Monday Captain Shreves of the army recruiting service said he was going to hold a tank parade just before press time in the afternoon. As the story of any parade is only a "mimeograph" affair it can be told a week beforehand as well as a week after -if it is staged.

The trouble is, Shreves failed to put on his show--his tank got a slight indisposit on--and The State Journal printed a story it had been held. summer a press agent for Ringling show "pulled" the same stunt. He got The State Journal print a yarn about the wonders of his pageant and then failed to deliver the goods. Hence: Never again. JURY TO SCENE OF MASSACRE Labor Unions Have Own Private Jury at I.
