will soon be repaired.

The Kansas City Journal says: st
is a long time since a play has come
to Kansas City as elevating in its tone
and as prettily staged and costumed
as Harry Shannon's The Bankers
Child" which was given as a matinee
at the Grand yesterday, and again last
evening. The same play will be pre-
scented all the week, and there is no
doubt but that it will draw crowded
houses. The elegant costumes worn
are seldom equaled on the stage and
heightened the effect Of a very pretty
play which has enough of the tragedy
in it to make it immensely interest
ing. The drawing room scene in the
second act in which little Hazel
Shannon as "Stella," wins the heart
of her criminal father unknown to
herself, and saves him from further
crime, cannot be too highly praised.
All who attend the show will be we'll
repaid for coming out, and will see a
very pretty and e~ievating production.
The specialties are also very charm
