He is Successfully Impersonated
by Arthur Dunn.
A LARGE AUDIENCE.
Many People See Production of
"The Runaway Girl."
Popular Songs Rendered in
Pleasing Manner.
How to get an English jockey from his
native heath, with its race horses, pad
docks .and all, to far off Corsica with its
darigands and Venice with its gondoliers
might be a difficult task under some
.conditions but. the transplanting of
"Flipper," the jockey in "A Runaway
"Girl." from Kngiand to the countries of
brigands and canals has been accomp
lished vers" easily, on the stage.
-Flipper" would be just as funny if
he had not been transplanted but stroll
ing baud of picturesquely clad musi
cians savage looking brigands, flower
girls 'peasants and sabot girls could not
be furnished in Old England and a gon-uolit-r
coming up the Thames would be
Fs out of place as a Henley regatta on
the abash. Arthur Dunn, as the joek-
made the trip last night on tne
stage at Crawford's Opera House, from
England and arrived in Corsica, where
the large audience and the rest o the
company had been for some time before
Jds arrival. He was ludicrously funny.
Flipper," nut over four feet six with
i.ls bandy l-gs. box coat, riding breeches,
li ggins and diamond of about a No. 12
size with his shallow little Derby hat
did not have to overwork himself at al!
to bring a lausih. He u inked and the
tiudience tittered. He doffed his hat and
they laughed. A small whistle was
l.iown in the wings to announce the de-j-artui-e
of tlie ocean liner from Corsica,
lie remarked that the '-whistle had the
asthma" and the audience actually
roared." Any other person in the
cist could have said the same thing and
ther would not have been a ripple of
laughter, but with "Flipper" it was dif
lerent. James Powers was the original
jockey in the piece and he made a repu
tation for himself but how he could
J:a.ve been funnier than Arthur Dunn is
t, question that last night's audience can
Iiot answer.
Mr. Dunn is aided and abetted in the
art of the fun mak-r by Clara Belle
Jerome, as "Alice." his sweetheart, who
iwas responsible for the jockey going to
Corsica, to act as a Cook's tourist geide
for a party of English people. The pre
dicament of a jockey explaining the
joints of interest of a half a dozen coun
tries and speaking half a dozen lan
guages when he knew but one can be
imagined. .Miss Jerome and Mr. Dunn
cianced and sung together in a very
liieasing manner and their last turn as
two little plckaninnis, singing of the
poblins in the moonlight was very effec
tive. John B. Park, as "Guy Stanley." the
3'nglishman. to be married to Winnifred
rr-y. whom he has never seen, has a
:age appearance that was pronounced
"aftVeted" by the male members of the
audience, but called just perfectly lovely
by the female portion. But W'mnifrd
lrey did not wih to marry a nftin she
hud never seen ami ran away fr.-m school
with ti band of itaiian singers and ran
right to Corsica, where Guy Stanley was.
Ftie did not know him and he did not
know her. She. was civilised as an Ital
ian and Guy refused lo marry Winnifred
ii-nd fell in love with the Italian sing-r.
And then Flipper had his trouble in act
ing as chaptToiie for the loving cuple.
In the end ail turned out lovely, when it
was discovered that the Italian sinLeer
vas the g;rl Juy was expected to marry.
Ceb ste Wynn. as "Winnifred Grey," was
qtial to tht- part and made a bewitching
Italian, but she could scarcely be called
pretty. Some of the cleverest songs in
the piece fell to her and she sang them
well. iTobably the best sinter in The cast
was Henri Leone, the leader of the band
of strolling musician. His rich, clear
baritone was decidrdly pleasing.
One song in the piece has traveled fas
ter than the company.- That is "Listen
the Ran.j," which has been sung by
b:iJf the traveling musical companies and
has be-n whistled for a year. BMle Trav
ers sings the popular air at the begin
ning of the second act. There are three
encores for the song and all were used.
The scer.ery and costumes added largely
t the effectiveness if the pice.
Miriam Uwnrn-e. who was the original
Carmcncita, still sings the part and with
a decidedly Knglish accent. She was
plump and vivacious enough f r anvbody,
even a college professor to fall in love
with her.
The audience was larue and nearly
every one was delighted with the produc
tion. If sarsaparilla and the other
vegetable ingredients that go i
into the best are good as a !
medicine,' then Aver's Sarsa-
panlla is good. If not, we are
humbugs.
Your doctor will tell you
which, because he can have the
formula of Ayer's Sarsaparilla
any time. for the asking.
If you are tired, half sick,
half well, if one day's work
causes six days' sickness, get a
bottle of the old Sarsaparilla.
Get Ayer's, and insist on Ayer's
when you want Sarsaparilla.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.
Miss Marie Brooks and Miss Lillian
MeFarland were the two prospective
brides honored at Miss Mary Haroble
ton's luncheon Thursday. Miss Ham
bleton is always a charming hostess, and
she usually- adds a few touches of origi
nality to her affairs which are very de
lightful. It was a pink luncheon, and that idea
was carried out in the decorations and
the different courses as well. The room
was darkened and pink candles on the
table and the pink-shaded incandescent
lights shed a rosy glow over the sur
rouudings. The centerpiece was of pink
roses and maidenhair fern.
The place cards Mere pen and ink
drawings of Cupid in different positions,
and each card contained a personal
quotation which caused a deal of amuse
ment. The first course was watermelon
cut in the shape of individual hearts,
and the ice cream was also formed in
the shape of hearts. The ice course too
was a novelty; it was served in tiny
flower pots tied with pink ribbons, with
an exquisite pink rose in the center, pre
senting the appearance of having grown
there.
The guests Invited for the occasion
were: Misa Lillian MeFarland, Miss
Marie Krooks, Mrs. Carl JSTellis. Mrs.
Waller Cust, Miss Pearl MeFarland.
Miss Fannie Sibley, Miss Lida Bergen,
Miss Virgie I'ayne, Miss Berdena Cran
dell. Miss Lillian Valentine, Miss Santa

Death of B. W. Woodward of
Lawrence.
Passed Away This Morning In
Pennsylvania.
VISITING RELATIVES.
Was Stricken With Paralysis
on Monday.
Was Well Known In Literary
and Art Circles.
A telejrram was received In Topeka
this morning announcing the death of
Brinton W. Woodward at Unionville,
Pa.
Mr. Woodward had lived In Lawrence
eince 1855, and was one of the well
known men of Kansas.
He left his home in company with his
son Chester last Saturday, apparently
in good health. He went to Unionville
to visit his sister, who is very sick, and
was stricken with paralysis soon after
he arrived. It was thought at first that
his condition was not serious, but a
telegram received on Tuesday announced
that there was but faint hope of his re
covery. Mr. Woodward was 67 years old. He
was born near Unionville, Pa., on a farm
adjoining that of Bayard Taylor, the
author. He immigrated to Kansas in an
early day and established the first drug
store in the state, at Lawrence. He was
prominently identified with the struggles

that made Kansas a free state, and lost
everything he possessed at the sacking
of Lawrence by Quantrell. As soon as
the trouble was over he again started in
business, and about twenty years ago
organized the wholesale drug firm of
Woodward, Faxton & Co., in Kansas
City. The business soon grew to be very
large, and Mr. Woodward retained his
connection as a member of the firm un
til lSi(8, when he retired from business.
At the time of his death he was still
a member of the wholesale drug firm of
Woodward & Co., of Lawrence, but he
refrained from active participation in
the business. Since he had retired from
business he devoted his time to
travel and literature. His only pub
lished work, aside from his poems, is
"Old Wine in New Bottles," being a col
lection of essays and poems.
Krinwood, his home in Lawrence, situ
ated near the summit of University hill,
is one of the most beautiful places in
the state.
He established an art gallery filled
with magnificent paintings collected by
him in his travels, and which is one of
the best collections of pictures in the
west.
He has been prominently identified
with the educational institutions of
Kansas, and was for many years a re
gent of the state university, in which he
took an especial pride. He was also one
of the organizers of the State Historical
society.
Mrs. Woodward and three children
survive him. The children are: Mrs. T.
F. Doran. of Topeka: Chester Wood
ward, of Topeka; and Brinton D. Wood
ward, of Lawrence.
The body will be brought home and
the funeral will be held at Lawrence
at a time to be fixed later.
