AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

"A Gamblers Daughter was the Of
fering at the Crawford theater last
evening. The players appeared to the
best advantage, having come to Topeka
fresh from their triumphs at Wamego-
on-the-Kaw. In it the principals are
made. to stand around and look uncom.
Portable upon several occasions while
the time is occupied by a conversation
between very stupid Irish maid and
an equally stupid errand boy Not much
can be said for the plot. 1t is quite in
consistent. But the intense feeling
aroused by the life interest of the play
is supposed to make a person overlook
that fact. 1t is hard to understand how
a person could have the moral courage
to write piece like "A Cambler's
Daughter" and really expect long
suffering public to enter no protest and
pay their money to see it.
An estimate made from the announce
ments in the dramatic papers shows that
about 927 shows of equal merit with the
Gamblers Daughter are enacted in as
many different theaters all over the
United States each night It is probably
falr to estimate an average attendance al
all of the 9H performances, which would
bring the door receipts to $500 each. That
makes a total of $185, 400 spent in one night
for bad shows. week at this rate means

thirty weeks means S33 81, 900 suuandered
In that manner. Think of more than thir.
ty-three million dollars being lost during
the winter months on theatrical troupes
that cost all the way from $1OO to $3.50 Der

coal and the necessities of life which that
would buy And above all, think of the
massive and capacious structure thai
could be built and endowed with that Aurr
of money to be known as a Safe Retrea,
