The Pages, popular price company,
played 10 a crowded house at the Craw-

sented an old English comedy drama.
Harvest" very creditably. The enter

have played TO regular prices in Topeka
this season. The play is well set and
carefully costumed The individual parts

ces Florida, were entirely satisfactory

mensely, end there was general COM
mendation for all.
The singing and dancing specialties
satisfactory and the company will I'M
doubtedly become popular favorites be-

To whom 1t may concern:
The Paiges played my house 10 the
largest business last week that has been
done by any company for the past five
years. The company IS without question
the strongest in every respect of any re-
pertoire company / ever played. / found
Mr.. Paige very fine gentleman and his
company composed Of ladies and gentle
men. I was very glad indeed 10 arrange
with Mr.. Paige for return date, and ex-
pect TO DO a much larger business than
we did last week. Very truly,
