Given exquisite music and abundance
of genuine fun, an interesting story
and elegant costumes and stage set
tings, there is the material for popu-
lar form of stage entertainment. 1t is
said that all these elements are sup
piled in almost lavish manner by Kirke
La Shele's opera company in "The
Princess Chic" which will be the at
traction at the Lyceum tomorrow night
with the same great company of sixty
artists that have become famous. 1t
would seem that there can be no doubt
about the elegance of the production.
1t is said to be one of the costliest
ever seen in the way of comic opera.
The Philadelphia Times said that "it
belongs to the royal line in the way of
entertainment" The Inquirer said that
"it was the prettiest, daintiest, With
est and cleanest. and in all respects
the most meritorious opera seen since
The Giesha.'"
The company includes in it's artists
such consummate artists as Christie

Tim Murphy at the Lyceum.

At the Lyceum last night for the
second time this season Tim Murphy
presented his political comedy, THE
Carpetbaggcr," before an audience that
was much smaller than II should have
been.
Mr.. Murphy in the role Of Melville
Crance, the Carpetbag governor of
Mississippi, Is doing the best work Of
his career. He has a true sense of
what Is ludicrous and Is artist enough
to know that there are moments when
silence is more eloquent than spoken
words. There are few IL any of tho
comedians of today who can get bet
ter effects by legitimate means than
Mr. Murphy. His present play gives
him greater opportunities than any OF
those that have gone before and Is II
decided step forward. 1t Is not too
much to expect that the future holds
in store for him much better things
than ne has yet achieved.
Since he was seen here last the fourth
act of the comedy has been changed
materially. 1t is more concise and ar
tistic than in it's original form.
Mr. Murphy had the assistance or
very satisfactory company in present.
