  Good Morning!

  "You got plenty of white angels in heaven—hab a black one! Stop twangin' on them harps an' lissen to me! Ef yo' let L'il Missy lib Ah won' lie no mo' er Ah won' steal no mo' er Ah won' do nuthin' no mo'! Ef yo' don' want th' debbil tuh git me away from yo'—yo' bettah act quick! An' Ah won' ask yo' to make me white lak snow, but jes' a nice, light tan!"

  This, Topsy's prayer, on the occasion of the expected death of Little Eva, you will be glad to know, is answered as she desires, in the screen version of "Topsy and Eva," now at the Chicago theater. The golden haired object of adoration not only lives but promises she will never die!

  Don't you think you could find time to take the children over to see the Duncan sisters? Those who were in the house yesterday had such a good time. And you'll enjoy the picture, too.

  The two beloved lady clowns are their own original and charming selves, both in the picture and on the stage where they are, you know, appearing in person. Just a pair of sunbeams—or "sun of a beams," as Topsy says, with a lot of laughs and some new songs.

  You'll be wise if you jot down "Topsy and Eva" on your entertainment menu for the week.
