SEASON OF OPERA CLOSED.
The merry season of opera with which
the Wichita theatre goerS were RECALLED
this week closed iast night. The atten-
dance at each performance was good
and the company deserved it. 1t was
noticeable TOO, that a large number of
new faces were seen in the Crawford
Grand this week to see the Andrews
Opera company. These included many
of the people VINO as a rule and from re-
lfgious convictions are generally adverse
to attending any theatrical performance,
but in opera they seemed to make an ex-
ception. The company gives a refined
and clean performance, and there is no
reason why any one could hesitate to
Torrance. ''Pinafore" was the bill at
the matinee yesterday, which was well
attended and last night the romantic
opera Fra Diavolo' was produced. The
company maintained its reputa ton for
be3utimul ensemble work in Fra
Diavolo' and the opera was well staged.
Miss Atkinson, as Zertina, again was
charming. Miss Grace Hale, as Lady
Aiicash, sang that part well and acted
cleverly. Mr.. Taylor. as Lorenzo, sang
better last night than at any previous
performance. although he has not yet
recovered his health. Mr.. T. w Wal
ters, as the English tourist, was a sue
cess. He has a good tenor voice and
sings well. Mr.. George Andrews, with
his wonderful rich baritone voice cap
.ured the audience. His singing is ar
tistic and his voice very musical, and as
FRA Diavolo' made a great hit. Ed
Andrews and c. A Parker, as the ban
dts. displayed excellent voices and
really creaditable work as comedians.
They brought down the house and were
frequently encored. They kept the house
IN continuous roar when on the stage
cir. Andrews has an exceptionally good
vol (. and Mr.. Parker is irrresistabIy
funny. All the chorus work was good
aad the audience insisted upon several
curtain calls. Much favorable and
hearty comment was bestowed upon
Musical Director Hazelrigge, who is one
Of the best pianists that has appeared
in the Crawford for many a day. Taken
in all the theatre goers enjoyed a treat
this week which they nope to have re-
peatcd.
