! The Carleton Opera company gave g
| brilliant performance of ''Nanon," one OF
the prettiest Of light operas, to a large
audience at the Crawford opera house last
night. 1t was "Nanon, Genee's charming
opera comiq1e, full OF fun and the sweet
musis ,'Nanon." or the Hostess of the
Golden Lamp" is pretty story and was
effectively PIT on the stage, richly and ap-
propriately dressed, and presented a series
of lovely stage pictures Mr. Carleton has
! brought to Wichita d company superior TO
any which has ever visited our city. In the
presentation of "Nanon" last night the
excellence of the material of which the
company is composed was duly appreciated
by a critical audience who testified their
appreciation by applause. Mr.. Carleton
gave to the part of Marquis d'Aubigne
prominent position; his manly bearing,
fine baritone voice and excellent acting
being displayed to great advantage. Miss
Clara Lane, as Nanon, is clever and be-
witching little artists, full of veracity,
with clear soprano voice and at once be
came favorite by the earnestneSs and ex-
cellence of her work. The part of NanOn
Miss Jennie Winston. Miss Clara Winston
as the stately Madame de MaintenOn. and
Miss Marie Langdon. as the Page, were
both admirable opponents of their
respective characters. The develop
ment of the fun in the ''NanOn'
was in the able hands of Mr. Charles Bige-
low, who as the Marquis de Maosillac, eX-
cited continued laughter and amusement.

sung there:
Could anything in the line of light
opera have been more delightful TO the

is just the mixture of dignity and alb
surdity in his manner and that which he
has instilled into his company that Gill

not know when we shall look upon its
like again. and this is d cause for genuine
regret, for compared to other operate
organizations. the difference Is like that
between cut glass and pressed.
RUNNING WILD.
1t is a long time since the Court street
theater has put on a better play or had "a
better house than that of last evening.
After the galleries and boxes had been |
filled by people who could get no seats any
where else, the last of the corners went
away 10 return, perhaps, some other |
night. Running Wild Is much funuier
than the average light fun the puus and
sayings are new and taking, and the claim
Of miscellaneous made by the show bills Is
well founded, for not only in the Imita-
tion but in the regular songs all acquitting
themselves creditably. Running Wild"
will continue to keep all IN an uproar.-
