STAGE TALK.
The Dramatic Editor of The Citizen
Gives His Views.

To the average theater goer the
scene, plot and actors represent a
reality. the living of another life. The
various and different traits of human
character are shown, giving the audi.
ence a view OF their own weaknesses
and failings.
Many plays represent the dark and
light shades of human existence to
such an extent that the audience for
get their surroundings and ways of
living and live In an environment full
of excitement and fascination. Their
attention and sentiments are so alb.
sorbed In the successes and hardships
OF the actors that II seems To them a
reality. The pathos of scene may
move them to tears, then in an instant
some witty remark, though the scene
be very impressive and pathetic, will
cause a smile to hover around the lips.
or even a laugh of amusement.
But to watch play from behind the
scenes spells the reality and fascina-
ton of human character. The acting
appears naked and its defects can
readily be seen. The strong character
loses strength and the acting is laid
open. Yet the performance behind the
scenes Is a most attractive and inter
esting scene. The rapidity and skill
with which the actors make up into
characters is remarkable. A noted
change can be seen In their bearing
and countenances as they step from
between the stage 10 the flies in full
view of the audience. In their school
ing they learn TO adapt themselves to
any character and situation.
Some actors are best fitted for a
humorous character, others for a
strong character. requiring dramatic
poses In scenes OF striking and impos-
ing climaxes. Each In time discover
what character is best adopted to
their natures.
The press. pulpit and stage are rec.
ognized as the three greatest univer-
sal educators OF the age. II is useless

To some an actor has no right to

A dispatch says that either a merger
of the Wells-Fargo and Pacific express
companies or the closest kind of an al
lance between them Is shown by ord.
ers which nave been received by
agents OF bo,n companies all over the

The Pacific express Is controlled by

Der there was a close trafic alliance
between the Pacific and Unlted States
express companies. They worked with
each other against all other compa-
MES.
Now the Wells-Fargo and Pacific
companies have instructed their
agents not to give any other company
any business which can be handled by

ing people of Wichita and the surround
ing towns are taking such an interest in
this concert, and the seats are going fast.
The orchestra appeared in Hutchinson
Monday evening and the News has the
following:
Every one present almost had pas
sion for music; not that all were must
clans, or could play any instrument even
indifferently, but they were possessed Of
the soul of music,
That gentler on the spirit lies
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes
And that was the sort of music they
listened to last night. Sixty superb mu-
sicians, directed by a man who had re-
ceived his instructions under the great
Thomas. making the most classic of mu-
sic pleasure even to the mind of little
cultivation-it was marvellous. entranc-
ing thrilling Frederick A. Stock gets
the music from the orchestra-there is
no doubt of that-and he does it so easily
so lazily almost, that his conducting
seems indifferent, although the results
are anything but that He is almost I'M
calmly in appearance and has none of
the sraces of the ordinary band or or
chestra leader-and perhaps the why
thereof is that he is not ordinary.
But what can one say of such play
ing? Who can criticize perfection? What
words could tell the rapture of those who
sat and listened? And what language
is adequate, save the language of the
music itself, to convey to one who was
not present, the Incompatible excellence
Of the playing of this great organization?
II was music-that is all-sweet music,
sweet and perfect-music that was never
before heard within the walls of the Home
theater. and that will not be heard again

MANY aossERIEs REPORTED.
Three Stores Broken Into Tuesday
NiQt1t.

Five robberies have been reported this
week. Three jewelry stores. a second
hand store and small general store, all
of which are on East Douglas avenue
have been touched. and apparently by
the same gang. The mode of entrance
is the same in all cases and besides being
destructive to plate glass windows is a
very effective way of securing valuableS.
In all cases il appears the thief or thieves
used a stone or a heavy piece of iron
for making an entrance, and nearly all
OF the robberies are committed early in
the morning between 5 and o'clock.
At this time the policemen leave their
beats and make the rounds of the alleys.
trying the back doors of the business
houses While the policemen are on the
rounds the robber secures rock and with
1t breaks the plate glass window. In
nearly all cases the breaks have been
made in the lower corner, where il
would make very little noise. Then either
with his arm or with a wire all the valu-
ables within reach are secured.
Early yesterday morning the plate glass
window in front of A. Klein's jewelry
store at f02 East Douglas avenue was
broken in this manner and S35 worth of
jewelry was taken. The damage to She
window will amount to about SIS. large
stone and a piece of wire were found
near the window and it is supposed there
were used by the burglar.
Besides this robbery two small stores
were broken into yesterday morning.
second hand store belonging to L. Wolf.
burg and the store run by J. Wolfburg.
The thieves secured seven hats and a
small quantity of jewelry from L. Wolf
burg and five pairs of shoes from j.
Wolfburg. The shoes were valued at
about so. Entrance to both stores was
made through windows broken by some
missile.
Sunday morning the plate glass win
dow at the Wichita Watch ExchanR.
ga East Douglas, was broken and about
ss5 worth of jewelry was taken. Monday
night the display window in front of
Hcwe's jewelry store was broken and a
large quantity of jewelry taken, entail
ing a loss OF about $50.
Extra precautions are being taken by
the police and the gang will either have
to dispense or quit business.
