FOR SWEET CHARITY.

FOR SWEET CHARITY.
Mrs. waiden's Concer; for the Poor Largely
Attended nd Great Success.
Mrs. Walden's concert is over and it was
the pronounced success predicted for it by
the EAGLE. Every seat on the lower floor
/ and balcony was occupied, and many
stood up during the entire program.
The doors of the gallery were open at the
same prices as prevailed on the other
floors, and not few persons occupied
seats there also. If the gallery had bee n
opened al regular prices it could have been
filled easily, but it is lucky that it wasn't
for the singers as well as those occupying
the lower floors
The receipts OF the concert will be some
thing in the neighborhood of $i00, and
many poor person will pray during the
winter for Mrs. Walden, to whose untiring
energy the success of the concert is mainly
due. The performance was artistic in
every detail. The stage director, MIR.
Frank Rich, did himself proud, and many
handsome compliments were passed upon
his skill as such. The settings were artist:

fine plants, furnished by Messrs. Mueller
and Rose, made the stage look very cozy
and nice
Shaw's orchestra furnished the music,
and their hearts were in the work.
The audience was an intelligent one and
perhaps better represented the culture of
Wichita than any audience that has assem-
bled in the opera house for many day.
Notwithstanding the number Of people
present the best of order was maintained; /;
for Chief Walden saw to it that none of
the customary hubub aud racket, which
is so disagreeable TO people who want to
hear. was permitted about the doors.
Nobody in the house, either in the au-
dience or on stage, was disturbed for u
moment during the entire four hours that
the entertainment occupied. The follow
ing is the program:
