ADJUSTMENTS
THE CLAIR PATEE COMPANY

This evening open five nights engage
ment at the Crawford with ''Queena."
This company will be remembered from
their fine performances given here in the
city twice before Miss Edith Arnold and
Mr.. Willard Sims are still members of the
company and have grown better by their
past experience and successes. One OF the
features of the engagement Is uniformed
female band and orchestra.
CAMILLA URso's SPLENDID CONCERT.
II is seldom that Wichita audience. or
any other audience so far as that goes, is
affordeded an opportunity for attending
an entertainment of such genuine merit
as the one presented at the Crawford
Grand opera house last evening by Nine.
Camilla Urso and her most excellent con-
cert company. Notwithstanding this self
evident truth, the audience which last
night greeted Nine. Urso, on account of
the limited number, was not only unconl-
plimentary 70 the artist herself, bat also
to Wichita, as a city. 1t is IN limited
way gratifying to know that some of
Wichitas citizens have enough apprecia-
ton of real genius to attend such an en-
tertainment,
Perhaps if there had been pretty
thorough circulation of the report, that il
would be extremely "fashnerble" TO go
and hear the Queen of the Violin" the
house would have been damned. But no
one seems TO have started any such report.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that Manager
Crawford may receive more deserved en-
couragement in the future than be has in
the past, when be affords our citizens ex-
cellent opportunities. 20 attend frst-ciass
attractions, otherwise be might doubtless
be driven to the painful necessity of resort
lug to such expedients only as the theatre
goers OF Wichita seem most to admire.
To attempt to do justice to the program
rendered last night would require more
time and study than can be accorded any
one entertainment by the amusement
editor And then, too, any
person who would care enough to read
an adequate account of the concert, should
have cared SO much az 20 have attended
the entertainment itself Each number OF
the programme was rendered in style
which thoroughly captivated the audience
(who % their credit, II must be said. rep
resented the elite Of Wichita's society and
was freely appla1ded. Nearly everything
in fact, was encored, and Nine Urso re-
sponded 60 two encores for her last nun
Der. Should she and her company again
visit Wichita we bespeak for them q
crowded house.
AFRAID.
