GREAT FANNY RICE.
TT is refreshing, indeed. ID have an op-
portunity to witness pei lrrlance IN
that of Fanny Rice AT the French
Ball" The opportunity presented Itself
last night and a large nJmpsr Oh People
did not avail themselves OF the oppor-
tunity. While the attendance was good,
it was not what it should have been TOR

Fanny Rice is a wonderful woman,
and is perhaps the greatest ccmmediene
that Wichita has ever seen. She has
peculiar power over the audience that
she exerts most happily and with telling
effect She is irristible and has great
personal magnetism and is extremely
funny. Her company is an excellent one
in every particular. During the acton
of the play numerous nign-class special
ties were introduced that were generous
" applauded. Every number was arts
tic and refined. The members of the
company are all opera singers, who have
sung in the best companies in The coun-

young wife of a poor shoemaker who is
dissatisfied with her lot and longs for
wealth and society. She is given an OPP

its various conditions and finally con-

refined and beautiful in every particular
and detail. and those who did cot see
the show missed something that was
really good. Owing to sickness of Mr..
