the role have not hesitated to pronounce
it a most substantial creation, one that
is totally devoid of mannerism, and is a
clear-cut well-defined character, which
has not lost particle of charm because
it di. ers in several respects from the
outlines made familiar by Mr.. Russell.
Mr. Murphy is being put forward by

TO say that since Irving's most magnificent
