“‘THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
Musical Mixup Proves Entertaining At
The Wichita.
Large audiences greeted “ The Cat
and the Fiddle’’ at the Wichita The-
atre yesterday afternoon and last night
and the production was a very pleasing
one. It is a very fanciful sort of play,
with numerous scene changes and
many clever features. Charles Bellon
as ‘‘Happy’’ was as clever a come-
dian as has appeared on the local stage
this season and he was assisted by a
number of other laugh-getters. The
Elmore sisters were indescribably clev-
er and their singing and dancing was
a delightful feature.
The play proved as thoroughly satis-
factory as any of the present season.
