MUSIC AND DRAMA
THE sLAYTON COMPANY.


In the engagement Of the Slayton
Grand Concert company by the Lyceum
association for Wednesday evening, De-
cember 80, the amusement loving public
of Wichita have reason to expect a
musical treat. The company is a well
balanced one, as each member has a
well-established record for brilliant work
in her respective line. Miss Mae Etelle
Acton, the soprano, has made for herself
wide reputation, not only through her
work with her present company, but also
through her several years connection
with the company Of the great violinist,
Edourad Remenyi, as his soprano solo,
list. The New York Press, on her mi
tial appearance an that city. pronounced
her singing as revelation in point both
OF range and information. Miss Edith
Adams Is pronounced by her critics to
be one of the most brilliantly successful
young lady celloists on the concert sta ge
this year. Her connection with the Chi
cago Marine band as soloist on that
instrument has done much to make her
reputation for success what il is. Miss
Jeanne Scott is the pianist of the COM
2any. she is noted for her great versa
tally, rendering with equal vacility
classical and popular programs, ana
critical audiences everywhere pronounce
her work, both as a pianist and accom-
pianist. surprisingly excellent. Miss
Anna Lee Darnbroush, who is with the
company this year as monolagist, is the
representative Of new school of popu-
lar entertainers, and has displayed Won
derful dramatic talent in her work. She
is graduate of the well known Boston
College Of Oratory, and Clara Power
Edgerly, who is at the head of that in
stitution, predicted for her at the time
of her graduation, most brilliant fut-
ure. That this prediction was a wise
one is proven by the flattering criticisms
her work has received from both the
eastern and western press
LOUIS JAMES.
The dramatic festival with which the
management of the Crawford Grand re-
called the theatre goers of Wichita for
the past two days with Louis James and
his excellent company, closed last night
with the finest production OF "Othello'
that Wichita has or probably ever will
see. A good house greeted the perform
ers, whose acting was art in a high
sense. The work Of Mr.. James was
wonderful and approached very near 10
perfection, and Miss Kruger as Desde-
mona did really fine work. The entire
grand production, with its beautiful cos
TUNES and complete scenery, was a
thorough treat to all theatre goers.

CAMPBELL WAS IN TOWN.
The Honolulu Millionaire Paid
a Visit to Detective
Lees.
Winthrop's Trial to Come Up Monday
and a Strange Counter Story
Promised.

The trial of Oliver Winthrop will, in all
proba bility, begin on Monday next. Yes.
terday the accused was in Judge Wallace's
court in order that he might be allowed
the statutory continuance denied him the
other day. This move was decided on by
the prosecution in order that there might
be no chance for reversal by the Supreme
Court. District Attorney Barnes is. how.
ever, very DESTROYS of bringing the case to
i'm ediate trial.
James a. Campbell, the prosecuting
witness, was not in court yesterday, al
though notified by Captain Lees that his
presence was desired. 1t is said, however,
that the Hawaiian millionaire will be on
hand on Monday.
Attorney Frank Bell asked that A. A.
Brown, one of the talesmen on the present
panel be excused, as he intended to use
him as a witness. Judge Wallace ex-
cused him.
Private Detective Hicks, who is collect
ing evidence by which Winthrop hopes to
establish an abb, expresses the opinion
tn at Campbell will not appear to testify at
the trial. He asserts that testimony will
be given in court at the proper time that
will completely shatter the story told by
the aged millionaire.
Millionaire Campbell and wife were in
the City yesterday, but returned by an
early evening train to San Jose, where
they have been staying for the last week
with their two little daughters and near
their two older daughters, who are in the
College of Notre Dame. A consultation
was held with Detective Lees, who, firmly
convinced of the truth of the old mans
story, is making every effort to produce
convincing evidence against Winthrop.
Campbell came up from San Jose On
forenoon train and arrived about IL o'clock
at the Occidental Hotel, where he and
Mrs. Campbell had luncheon.
The plan of the defense is to depreciate
the old mans damaging story and to cast
discre6it upon it generally. How that
might be accomplished was shown from
time to time in the papers before VIM
throp was captured and preparations be-
gun for his defense.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-08-21


the Fair will will drag on through the in
her brightly cheering presence.
The young lady left last Saturday even
ing for New York to fulfill an engagem emit
recently entered into with A. M. Palmer,
under which she is to play as leading lady
in the absent Boy" company.
The "Absent Boy" is new play, to be
brought out in fine style by Mr.. Palmer
next season. Henry E. Dixey has the star
male part, "Mr. Pennie," and promises
his friends that it will be one of the parts"
of his life.
To the, theater-goers of San Francisco
nothing need be said of Miss Craven's
histrlonic talent. She has appeared here
repeatedly in characterizations calling for
an infinite display of versatility, every de-
mand of which she has met. AS the Prin-
cess Vera in Moths" with the Frawley
company at the Columbia, she was nightly
greeted with rounds of applause. She
played also with Rose Coghlan in ga
lady in "a Lottery of Love- and as
Hatty in "Uncle john"
Nor is this her first appearance in the
metropolis. She played there several
seasons at the Empire Theater, with the
stock company of which she afterward
made q tour of the country. With face
that might alone be fortune on the stage,
Miss Craven has also form, voice. express
sion and address that rarely equip her
for success in her chosen profession and
that insure her a bright future. Since
her first step before the footlights Miss
Craven has been success, constantly
growing. The engagement with Mr..
Palmer is a distinct recognition Of this
fact
During the months she has been in this
City Miss Craven has received numerous
offers of engagements for next season, but
has been slow to listen to them because of
the illness of her mother and the impor-
lance of the affairs in which she (Mrs.
Craven) was interested. The mother, too.
was equally 10th to let her CO. However,
Mr. Palmer succeeded in persuading both of
them, and last night saw the young lady
away toward the East with a shower ot
good wishes from many friends for new
and greater success in the new play.
