So many societies exist in North To-
peka, and public entertaining in their
interest are SO frequent, that 1t is often
difficult to arrange the dates SO as to
avoid conflict, from the fact that there IS
but one place suitable for such affairs.
On account of this condition of affairs
movement has been started looking to
the erection of a hall with stage and
scenery. The various fraternal societies
are trying to get together on the matter,
and if they succeed, it will probably be
built before fall.
The electric lights furnished by the
city on this side are not operated in a
manner wholly satisfactory to the people.
They understand that the city is furnish
ing more lights than it has power for,
but they think the light should be turned
on at dark and cut off in the latter part
of the night if necessary. Since the
leaves are on the trees it is absolutely
dangerous to be on many of the streets
A full house greeted the performers
in the spectacular drama ''The Kings
Daughter which was presented at Lux
ems opera house last night for the benefit
of the Church of the Good Shepherd.
The audience was pleased and applauded
literally. There was no comedy in the
piece but there the usual amount in
the performance and the audience
laughed uproariously when the curtain
was dropped on the back of a 'Iord
Chamberlain The costumes were rich
in color and the grand march was well
executed and with pleasing effect. The
Delsarte drill was novelty and was we'll
received. The singing of Mrs. George
Currier, Miss Edna Parkhurst and Miss
Annie Campbell was a notable feature.
Miss Stella Walface's solo, "Entreat Me
Not to Leave Thee" was especially fine
as was also a piano duet by Miss Mirta
Carter and Miss Grace Collins. Miss
Laura Blackwell, to whose excellent
training the success of the entertainment
is wholly due. is a graduate of the Chi
cage dramatic school and gave many
evidences of careful study and artistic
attainment. Her poses in portrayal of
wide range of human emotions were
excellently done and were greeted with
marked approval. Her elocution is also
good. Her musical and dramatic ability
was shown to the best advantage in her
role of s.Vashti" when she entreats the
king to restore her to her place on his
throne. The piece will be repeated to-
night and is deserving of good audi
ence.
