AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

BY actual count there were just 70 peo-
pie on the first floor of the Crawford the
alter on Saturday night at the Ward Min
Strel show, and such performances are
always popular. Last night the parquet
was a little stronger, but not much.
As of yore, people had to pay 70 cents
for both the blackface performance and
ing station of Topeka is about broken
now over what the Crawfords dish up, a
Ia on the bum, and people are learning to
stay away. The latter fact is always a
good sign.
There were just two good spots and
about 20 bad ones in the minstrel show.
Tom Powell is a first class blackface. He
worked like beaver to carry the white
and succeeded fairly well. He has an
elastic face and that is what it takes to
make a good coon" comedian. Ed
O'House, known to the minstrel boards
far and wide, was with the singers. He

was fair. The world at large is getting
tired of this play and Topeka is in the
same fix, even though Topeka girl wrote
it. Miss Esther Cuff, whose stage name
is Rujaero, is the playwright. Her moth
er and sister live at 213 Clay street. Miss
Cuff is now in England. When she first
wrote the drama she played the role her
self. She is a bright young woman and
has written pretty good melodrama.
Miss Rilla Willard had charge of the
reins last night and suited the few who
were in the house. At least the gods of
the gallery threw their palms at the sta ge

The Popular Show Will Be in Topeka
September 12.

Gentry Bros. trained animal shows,
which are favorably known in this
city having exhibited here many
times, are headed this way again, and
their patrons will, no doubt be glad
to learn of the permanent consoIida-
ton of Gentry Bros famous shows
The performance presented this
year is a double one necessitating the
use of twice as many animals as have
ever been seen with these popular
shows. The programme is made up of
new acts and features, the majority
of which have never been seen before.
The street parade of the united shows
makes d sight worth seeing.
The date of exhibition is announced
for Monday, September IL. The tents
