AMUSEMENT NOTES.


The Texas Steer" presented at
Harper's theatre last night, drew fair
audience, although the play was of a
class that merited better patronage.
The truth in the satire on life in
Washington was sufficient to give the
play a solid basis and the rendition
was highly creditable.
Tim Murphy and his great COM
pany will arrive tomorrow, bringing
With him besides his aforesaid COM
oany, one large car filled with prop
critics and scenery for his "a Bache-
lor's Romance, which he will present
tomorrow evening at the Burtis. Tim
Murphy is not the man his name
would indicate. 1t simply jars stage
traditions. However, he has given
up all thoughts of changing it, for
the present at least. He has set a
standard for art, and in time his name
will come to be from it's very homeli-
ness feature on which to base rep
utation. His David Holmes is said
to be a revelation. Dorothy Sherrod
