dany and Saturday night performances
| were very meritorious and brought out
some very superior talent in the COM
pany that surprised everybody. For
| instance, the work of Miss Jessie Cotton
IN the "Forget-Me-Not'' was certainly
worthy Of the highest compliments and
praises. The acting was superb. And
| then Messrs Caufman, Fout and Shoe
make all do clever work, and Miss
| Slemous and Madelon Caufman are both
entitled 10 commendatory notice. Taken
IN all, the company after getting thoro-
ughly into the harness here is by no
means mediocre. and the performance
they give are of liberal patronage. The
matinee yesterday, at which "Peck's
Bad Boy" was played, was well attend
| ed and gave excellent satisfaction. Man
ager Tracy Mcguire, the genial and
happy manager of the company, has dis
played schrewdness in presenting the
weakest plays first and now each night
brings out better show than the night
before. Mr.. Mcguire has succeeded by
paying a royalty in securing the right 10
play the great four-act comedy drama,
Friends, which viii be presented TO
the Wichita theater goers on Monday
night. This is the strongest play in
their repertoire of twenty-one plays and
Mr.. Mcguire assures the public that the
cast is an excellent one. Ladies will
