The great New York Lyceum success.
The Prisoner of Zenda," will be given
here in the near future by an especial
ly strong company, headed by
Vaughan CHASER and Charlotte Tittell.
Although the play has now been several
years in the public eye, it is still at the
height of its popularity, and the popular
demand is greater for it now than for
many new play. The play was dra-
matized from Anthony Hopes novel.
by E. E. Rose, and shows immense
merit. What elaboration there is shows
a master-hand. The incidents of the
novel are closely adhered to and are
most effectively handled, while the at
mosphere of romance is never once al
lowed to relapse. The heart story is
touching, and affords one of the noblest
lessons in moral courage ever presented
on the stage. The scenery is most
elaborate and the costuming effective.

Tim Murphy.
Mr. Murphy is, without doubt, one of
the best authenticated natural geniuses
that the contemporary stage knows
His work has long been of the highest
order and merit. and his impersona-
ton will be without question a study
OF uncommon interests and value. It
was according TO fitness in stage mat
tiers when the time came for Sol. Smith
Russell to relinquish his work, even
though temporarily. that his physical
counterpart, Tim Murphy, should take
it up. Mr.. Murphy's success in the Sol
Smith Russell roles is now a matter of
history. The critics tried to Guido each
