For four nights and a matinee, COM
n1encing next Sunday evening, the Met
ropolitan will present Mr.. Tim Murphy
and company in "A Texas Steer" the
greatest OF Hoyt's comedies and one In
which Mr.. Murphy lis seen in the most
favorable light as character comedian.
The play is, a satire on politics with few
we'll directed shots at society; it has been
running constantly for the past four years
and in all sections Of the country lit rs
hailed as the most amusing of the many
plays which Mr.. Hoyt has given to the
public.
Tim Murphy should be credited with
as big a. success as the author, for his
creation of the character of Maverick
Brander, the old Texas cattle king, who
Is elected to congress simply because his
friends think he ought to represent them
in the framing of the national laws, is a
bit of high class comedy which is seldom
duplicated on the American stage. Mr..
Murphy has played old Brander for SO
many years that he has perfected every
detail of the characterization and made
1t a performance which deserves place
among the classics. He is surrounded
by an excellent comapny and Will presnt
I the steer" In, It's original environment
The engagement will involve one Of those
popular priced matinees.
Harry Hayward is now more carefully
guarded than ever and he will have to. be
clever indeed to carry out his threat never
to die with his boots on Since his threat
was made, 1t has been discovered that he
probably intended to end his life by TAX
ing poison and now the visits of outsiders
VIII be restricted and nobody will be al
lowed to see him except when a watch
full deputy is along TO keep an eye upon
all proceedings. Jailor West does not
have much faith In Hayward and says
that he is a willy and dangerous man and
needs watching. The final orders to the
guards and other jail officers in relation
to Hayward were given Saturday and will
govern Hayward's further stay at the
country Jail.
Mike Kierce, the alert janitor at the
courthouse, thinks that some fellow has
been trying to blow him up for his detec-
tive work in the Hayward mystery. SAT-
urday night he received gaspipe bomb,
sealed up at one end and bearing an affec-
,tionate inscription, stating that 1t was a
present in token of his valuable services
In detecting the plot to secure Hayward's
escape. Mike caught on at once and in
stead Of becoming curious about the con-
tents, soaked the pipe in water and be-
gan to institute a search for the man who
sent the thing to him. An A. d. T. boy
brought it to the courthouse. The pipe
is to be chemically examined after 1t has
soaked long enough to prevent any explo-
sion, and If found to be dangerous efforts
will be- made to locate the man who sent
the bomb to Kierce.
Following "a Modern Mephisto" at the
Bijou, Murray & Mack, the Irish come
dams, will be seen in their latest vehicle
of merriment entitled, "Finnegan's Ball. y
The farce is described as a jolly potpourri
of hilarious situations, funny dialogues,
good specialties and catchy medleys and
parodies, just such an entertainment
as is calculated to please that class Of
theater- goers who want to enjoy hearty
laugh and be entertained without any
thought Of what it is all about. The
specialties, of which there is promised to
be AN abundance, are all seen, and include
several novelties The company is said
to contain nearly twenty-five members,
including besides Murray and Mack, the
stars, George limerick, the author; Bert
Leslie, Clayton e. White, Chas. Lamb,
and Vincent Minnelli. The female con-
tingent is unusually clever andsa more
bewitching bevy Of good looking young
women than Oracle Cummings, the Lor-
ing sisters, Winifred Stewart, Lonnie
Deane, Edith Newton and Clara Burgess
would be hard to find. The girls are
said to be not only pretty, but all are
said to possess good voices and a dash
and chic to- the farce that IS highly pleas
ing. The costumes are promised to be
worthy Of special mention.
