ANUS EN- ENTS.

"The Pink Lady" Tuesday, Sept. 18th
| The one great International musica
| comedy success of recent theatrica
| history is coming to the Opera Hous,
| on Tuesday evening, Sept. II, wher
l<law and Erlanger present there the
brilliant musical comedy, The Pink
Lady"
This surest of all hits has recently
termina ted it's remarkable run of over
400 performances at the new Amster
dam Theatre in New York City and
will be seen here in every essential ex-
actly as it was given there and in the
same spirit which captivated theatre
goers of that centre of theatrical ac-
tivity for over a year.
Local patrons may not be familiar
with the details of THE Pink Lady
but they have heard its music played
in every imaginable form and have
been awaiting the coming of the big
production ever since the season
opened. MY Beautiful Lady," the
sensational waltz hit is factor in tn
score but is only one of Is distinct
numbers that have added to the fame
of The Pink Lady" as a whole. Il
is played by a selected orchestra OF
players who have been with the piec=
ever since the New York run bega1
and are travelling with the company on
it's present big tour. Ivan Garyll who
made the score also worked out the
orchestration of it and while many are
familiar with his music they have not
really heard it unless they have Wit
messed a presentation of the piece in
the theatre by the Klaw & Erlanges
forces which are so skillfully utilized
in bringing out every subtle quality of
this pleasing feature of the produc
ton.
c. NJ. S. Mcclellan wrote the book
and lyrics, his story being an adapta
ton of the French farce LIE SATIRE"
by Georges Berr and Marcel Guile
maud, which in its original form ran
for nearly a year at Palais Royal in
Paris. Given a book of perfect con
struction and delightful humors and 4
score adjusted to the light moods Of
the story Klaw & Erlanger have mad
their production notable one. The
intention was to realize its color pos
sibilities in an artistic sense. To do
this required nice appreciation of its
subtle influences. In the three scenes
that frame the story is blended more
tone harmony and understanding nf
color significance than has been re-
vealed here in a light musical offering
in years.
The exaetions of THE Pink Lady
are numerous and the matter of play
ers in the scenes is not an easy one.
A company of 100 people is utilized

FLACK is CAUGHT
Abilene $4,000 EmbezzIer Is
Found in New York.
Kansas Banking Department
Captured Him.
LEFT STATE TWO YEARS AGO
At Same Time Abilene State
Bank Missed Money.
He Has DOdged Detectives for
Two Years.
LEFT STATE TWO YEARS AGO

After two years of constant "shad-
owing" the bank department of Kan
sas has captured John a. Flack, who
is supposed to have embezzled SIS, 1000
from the Abilene State bank two
years ago. ]. N. Dolley, state bank
commissioner received word from his
special agent ]. S. Searles, last night
in New York to the effect that F1acN
had been found. Identifications were
eSta blished clearly this morning and
the bank cashier that broke up one
of the best banks in central Kansas
Will be returned to this state imme-
diately.
The bank department of the state
has been pursuing Flack day and
from Abilene in 1910. A dozen times
the detectives have wound the threads
of evidence around the suspected
character who has been working in
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
Hoboken. Each time in his Shrewd
manner he slipped from their fingers
and it was necessary to take up an
altogether new clue.
F'lack has been in all sorts of dis
Suises. He has worked in every kind
of an establishment from a bologna
factory to a book bindery. He has
sold hot tamales and peanuts on the
streets of New York city in order to
dodge the eyes of his pursuers. He

hair, and side whiskers. He has been
smooth shaven, has shaved his head,
worn colored wigs and darkened his
features.
Froze His Hands and Feet.
One detective under the orders oe
the banking department froze his
hands and feet waiting one cold night
in New York city for FIack to leave
a lodging house. 1t was ten degrees
below zero and for six hours the de-
tective never moved from his tracks.
.Flack has been mighty clever in
lodging u.s. ]. N. Dolley, bank COM
missioner, said this afternoon. He
has changed his boarding house a
hundred times moving first from one
part of the city to another section
many miles away. He has worked
in all kinds of establishments and has
worn all kinds of clothes. Several
times we have had our hands on him
time he slipped away"
Bank Commissioners Dolley was as
sisted in his capture by the Burns and
Pinkerton detective agencies and the
National Surety company. This is
the only bonding firm that has assist
ed the state in capturing bank rob-
bers.
Mrs. Flack who disappeared from
Abilene a few months ago was in New
York with her husband. 1t is said
today that at all times Flack was kept
informed that the state bank depart
ment was after him. Friends in Kan
sas kept him posted, it is said. This
was one of the obstacles that had to
be overcome by the department in
it's work.
After the embezzlement at Abilene,
Flack went directly to Chicago. It
was stated at the time that he made
for Old Mexico. From Chicago he
worked his way to Buffalo and thence
to New York.
