CRAWFORD GRAND.
The Florence Bindley com bination closed
last evening presenting After Taps" to a
good sized audience at the Crawford. The
week has been unfavorabie tor entertain
ments Of every character yet this company
has done surprisingly well. Miss Bindley
has succeeded in making herself more of a
favorite than ever with the Wichita pub
lie. The presentation of the the third act
last night was very realistic being in every
respect typical country scene. Although
the play is little on the dialogue order
the interest is kept up throughout. The
general excellence of the company makes
it go more than ordinarily well.

Dan McCarty showed judgment in sur
rounding himself with a good company to
assist him in the production of The Dear
Irish Boy" at the Windsor theatre last ev-

favor won from the audience present. The
play is of the standard Irish type, dealing
principally with peasant life in Ireland,

ability, possessing fine voice and being

amusing. There is.considerable rollicking
Irish humor in the play, the climaxes are
strong and the setting very fine.-The Ev-

AT THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Pianoforte Lecture Recital which
will be given at the First Presbyterian
church next Tuesday evening by Edward
Baxter Perry, the well known blind plan
ist and lecturer, will be a rare treat to the
music loving people of Wichita. The st.
Paul Globe has the following to say of his
appearance in that city,
"A most cultured and distinguished
audience, and one large enough to fill the
Grand opera house, did honor yesterday to
Edward B. Perry, as famous a pianis as
America has So far produced. He intro
duced a novel idea and splend one,
when prior to playing each number he ex
planned or interpreted in words the work
in question. Ii added largely to the intel
ligent appreciation OF the people. Mr.
Perry is charming player poetic in the
extreme in passages OF tender emotion,
and in movements of fancy, light and airy.
His brilhancy of execution, highly de-
veloped technique and accuracy aston
ished and dsl GIFTED the audience who sat
eDtranced during the exhibition of his
skill at the piano"
zANZIC.
Zanzic, the worlds greatest prestldigita-
teur, will be seen at the Crawford Grand
Sunday evening, Nov. II.
''Zanzic is an enchanter with seemingly
inexhanstable resources. He is always
devising some new mystery or fitting new
clothes on an old mystery. There is as
much spectator in Zanzic's manner of
doing things as in the things he does. He
live rabbits and ducks and
other unwieldly material with as much
ease as he palms off the coin of the repnb-
lie or make vanish an egg. An especially
interesting division OF his program COM |
prises series of dissolving views, pretty |
works Of art handled with singular effect |
