FILLED TO THE BRIM.
Wilbur Kirwin Opera Company
Pleases a Large Audience.

The Wilbur-K irwin opera company
presented Jack and the Beanstalk,"
production borrowed from Mother Goose
and other juvenile patron saints, at
the Crawford last night.
The Wilbur-Kirwin company is the
best popular priced company that
comes to Topeka. At last nights per-
Torrance the house was filled to the
capacity. Every seat and every box
was occupied, and many who came late
had to stand. Few high priced shows
carry the amount of bright, new stage
settings that were used in Jack and
the Beanstalk." The singing of the ag-
ba style, and the best singer of the lot,
Forest Huff is suffering with a very
sore throat, and is under the care Of
a physician. Despite his trouble, he
leads the company in solo parts. Peo-
pie who expect to hear the light operas
sung by the 7WTlbUr-Kirwin company
as they might be sung by a $3.50 aggre-
cation will be disappointed. The sing
ing of the company can IN no way COM
pare with the larger opera companies,
such as surround Francis Wilson and
other stars, nor even with the singing
ability of the Arnold and Andrews COM
panies which so sften visit Topeka. The
person, however, who attends the VIII
bur-kirWin performances and keeps III
mind that the prices are only from ter
cents to fifty cents, then satisfaction
in keeping with the price and although
the singing may be critised the staging
of Jack and the Beanstalk7 last night
and the costumes were equal to the
scenery and WardrObes of any high
priced organization.
Miss Elaine Forrest, Miss Kirwin's un-
derstudy, who the Jack of the
.Beanstalk' production, has a sweet voice,
and although lacking force and volume
she would make a hit in 'lullabye' songs.
W. Fl. McGraw, as queen" of the FAIRIES,
provoked much laughter by his may
grace and unconventional garb.
The company is worthy of patronage.
The lover Of high grade opera must look
elsewhere, but the person who wants to be
entertained and amused for three steady
hours Will find all he wishes at the Wilbur
KirWin performances. The girls are pretty
and graceful. The ancient chorus fossils
of the ordinary I. 2, g. company are not
working for the Wilbur-kirWin aggrega-
ton. The jokes are all reasonably fresh,
and the local hits. which are usually so
painful seemed to please the audience. A
deaf person would enjoy seeing Jack and
the Beanstall and from the amount OF
scenery owned by the company it is safe
to guess that the other productions which
THE Grand Duchess is billed for to-
night. Miss Susie KirWin will sing in one
of the productions later in the week
which one has not as yet been announced.
Four matinees will be given-NV ednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday The
Mikado' and Said Pasha'' are among the
productions The Wilbur-K irwin company
gives a patron his moneys worth whether
he sit in the gallery or on the first floor.
