Marguerite Sylvia. the star. respond
ed to her generous reception by max
ing little speech of thanks. But in
thanking the people of Des Moines,
by slip Of the tongue, or maybe
the memory, she said: Il thank with
all my heart the people of Davenport

wonder why her speech failed TO elicit
the handclapping it always brings in
other cities, when one considers the
rivalry of the two towns. Miss Sylvia

that if called upon for speech she
will not offend the Davenport people

"a Bachelors Romance, " with Tim
Murphy, Dorothy Sherrod and a
strong supporting company. comes
to the Bun tbs this evening. "A Bsche.
lor's Romance" is good play. 1t is
q sweet love tale told in terms at once
humorous and humane. Mr.. Murphy,
in the character of David Holmes, has
a role peculiarly suited to him. a part
suited to his individuality and sym
pathetic vein of comedy. The quaint
comedian has proven that he has
genius enough to depart from the
methods of his popular predecessor
in the presents ton of the bachelor.
Mr.. Murphy has never seen Russell in
the part. 1t is a new character as Mr..
Murphy creates it, and according to
critics bears favorable comparison
with Russell's.
