Theatrical Tidings.
The coming attraction at the Grand
is that charming comedy-drama “Ala
bama,” which has been played some
five years. The Wichita Times says
the following:
“Alabama” was presented at the
Crawford Grand last night to a very
crowded house. When the curtain
rose on the lirst act of this interesting
play, the parquet and dress circle, as
well as balcony, were well tilled and
but few seats remained empty. “Ala
bama” is a remarkably strong play and
the oomnuny presented it in a most
creditable manner. The play portrays
southern life and customs and the plot
affords ample scope for some superior
acting. A strong vein of humor runs
through the play, and the scenes alter
nating between the sublime and the
beautiful, the pathetic and humorous
were finely produced. Mr. Frank Bangs
as Colonel Preston, presented some ele
gant emotional acting. George Miller
portrayed the Southern colonel su
perbly. Mr. Baiubridge, although an
excellent actor, has ambitions in an
other line of the profession—that of
manager, in which ne has so far scored
a remarkable success. Every member
of the cast, which numbered twelve, is
an artist; and the vociferous and con
tinued applause*, that greeted the pres
entation of “Alambra” last night cer
tainly testities to the spirit in which the
play was received. The play is certain
ly a success, and again confirms the
statement that a tlrst-class attraction is
always well patronized in Wichita.

preceded by Master Eugene Sehall, son
of the groom, and Master Hugh Kin
ney, of Humboldt, lowa, as ushers.
Then came the bride with her brother,
Charles, who gave her away. The
bride l<x>ked very pretty. She wore
her traveling dress, which was of
dark green velour, trimmed with ostrich
feather trimming and Persian silk, and
carried bride roses in her hand.
After the ceremony, and congratula
tions were over with, a wedding repast
was served in the dining room, which
was nicely decorated with smilax and
roses, and when the guests left they
carried with them small boxes of
wedding cake, as a remembrance of the
event. The bride and groom were re
membered with a large number of very
exquisite presents in cut glass and silver
ware.
Mr. and Mrs. Schall left on the
