The Topeka theater goers witnessed
the first legitimate entertainment last
night that has visited the city this sea
son. That our citizens will support high
drama, was well attested by the large
and fashionable audience that greeted
Kate Claxton and company last night.
They produced that romantic old play
The Two Orphans in which Claxton
has won her great reputation. In the
character of Louise" the blind girl,
she has no superior on the American
stage. and but few If any equals. The
performance is first class in every par
