room of the old "Emporia News the
town had some good theatrical at
fractions. 1t was also on what was
known as the kerosene circuit
Madame Janauschek, who was one
of the great actresses of this country,
played in Emporia before the place
had an opera house. She gave her
wonderful impersonation of Lady
Macbeth in Shakespeare play in a
most effective manner despite the alb
sence of modern stage facilities and
opera chairs. There are doubtless

were on the boards at Bancroft Hall;

but those of the other circuit. He did
not dare criticise those plays except
