TIM MURPHY WAS
THE WHOLE Ii. SHOW.
Stripped Of His Work, Perform.
ance at Academy Was a
Distinct Disappointment.

Mr.. Tin, Murphys Characterization OF
Jason Green at the Academy last nlSht
carried the performance to successful
termination. Stripped of the work OF NJ.
Murphy. the play would almost have
been without redeeming feature NOT
that much could not have been made OIL
it with a strong cast, for with TINS es-
sent;al there would have been diHerene
tale to tell. It is true that the comedy
is one in which most of the work 1ails
upon the principal character, but still
ip is necessary that the others should
sustain their parts in a capable manner.
That the cast failed to do this was Only
too apparent.
Notwithstanding this, the performance
was an enjoyable one, and Mr.. Murphy
was twice called before the curtain he
gave an admirable portrayal OF the Iowa
BILE, unsuspecting. credulous. generous ana
tender hearted old man, whd believes that
all the world is good until his lint
hearted brother poisonS has NINA WIN
his uncharitable views, and makes me
phlanthropist cast suspicion upon the
motives of his best friends. Mr. Murphy
possesses that genial and kindly spirit.
which has a direct influence upon his
work He makes himself the living char
acter, and draws his audience to him by
this faculty of breathing into the parl
much of his own personality.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod was not as con-
vincinSI in this play as she was in "A
Bachelors Romance but she looked
pretty, and was pleasing in some OF the
scenes. Miss Louise Whitfield as oEVe'
was too unsympathetic to make d favor
able impression. She has a harsh. grating
voice. and her little poses and the way
CHI chr her shoulders are
rather unpleasant. She sets your nerves
on edge at once, and you become out OF
sorts with her
The others in the cast did not do any
work that was at all conspicuous for It's
clevcrness. tr.I Murphy's own portrayal
however. left a most pleasing impression
with the audience.
