REVIVAL OF AN OLD FAVORITE
A splendid revival of East Lynne
will be given by Inez Forman and a capa-
bic company at the Toler Auditorium.
matinee and tonight This play has CT
late years been allowed 20 lapse into the
property of cheap-priced and cheap-tal-
ented companies to such an extent that
its dramatic worth and possibilities have
been well nigh forgotten. But East
Lynne" was constructed in the old days
when the drama was not so varied and
possibly not so parverted as today and
the play has many of those elements
which entitle it TO long life As pre-
sented by Miss Forman. John Dillon and
their company it secured new life and
became to be extremely popular.
The present revival finds the old play
remodled in order TO infuse a greater
amount OF comedy. but after the first
two acts the tragedy or it all. comes in
and changes the tenor of the piece. The
role Of Lady Isabella starting az the
winsome homecoming bride demands
change to the jealous and sin-sorrowing
wife II is hard gaunt. but Miss For
man runs il well She IS graciousiy

WICHITA is SHORT
ON BIG BUILDINGS
Wholesale Firm May Build
South of Post CffiCe,
TWO SIZES SELECTED
Will Be Four Stories with
Easement.

Wichita does not seem to have large
buildings enough to accommodate the
wholesale houses that want to come here
and some of-the real estate men are look
ing for suitable ground for wholesalers
who wish to come to this city and who
will erect their own buildings.
j. f u. CAST yesterday hunting
up the owners of the 100 feet of ground on
the southwest corner of Market and VIII
liam streIse and just across the street
from the government building He want
ed the price to submit to a large whole
sale house in Indiana that wants to come
to Wichita.
Mr. Casey said the firm had sent an
agent here to look the town over and he
had reported that no suitable building
could be obtained. He had selected two
sites and advised the company to build
its own house. He had selected the site
above described and in case that could
not be purchased the 100 feet on Market
Just north of the Sedgwick building was
selected for second choice.
Mr. Casey said the firm had requested
him not to give its name until he secured
ground. The head of the firm had told
him that they wanted the ground on the
corner of Market and William streets and
they would at once erect a building not
less than three stories. but he thought it
would be four stories with basement.
Kos Harris is one of the parties who
own the ground desired, and he at once
SET about getting the price. A part of the
hundred feet is owned by nonresident
and Mr. Harris wrote to this party yes
terday for his price and the other owners
think the ground will be priced reasonable
and that the new building will be erected.
Mr Casey said last night that he had
been informed that the company would
use two floors and the other two would
be equipped with modern offices. He was
certain that the building would be four
stories because an elevator was contem-
plated in the plans.
If this ground can not be secured Mr.
Casey will get the price on the four lots
north of the Sedgwick and submit 1t to
the wholesale company. At present the
business can only be surmised but it is
evident from the location selected that it
will not be groceries, hardware or heavy
goods because the locations are not on
any of the railroads. Either would be a
good location for a notion house.

During the happy times Christmas

were made sad by the death Of Miss
Belle Walker, Tuesday evening. She was
known and loved by a large circle of
friends Coming into our city schools
from Champaign, Ill, in 1888, she had
taught continually since that time. Most
of this time was spent in the Washing

a teacher she had few equals. Her loving
