The same company which signalzed the initial production of the piece last season is still employed, with a few exceptions, which are said to be for the better. The roles of the two Bills who though they have no facial resemblance were unfortunately born with the same name, which con stanty gets them into mystifying situa- tions, are assumed by Thomas J. Grady and o. Kane Hills, who, it is said are each so perfect in their characterization that 1t is hard to say to whom the laurel wreath should be awarded. The support ing company includes Messrs.

vaudevlIIa at AudItorlunn.

Lizzie Evans, for a number Of years one of the most popular stars to visit the south. with a company, will be the head liners this week at the Auditorium. She is well known in Birmingham. having been before the audiences here number of times in some of the greatest com edies on the stage.
 The act to be put on at the Auditorium by Miss Evans and company will be Two Girls to One Man" Miss Evans is an honorary member of a number of mii- tary companies throughout the south. and whenever she visits the cities they are in, she is sure of warm welcome and a crowded house every night.
 Sheehan and Kennedy will present comedy sketch entitled True to Nature" The act is Irish comedy, and should be popular with audiences here,
 Dorothy Walters will be an entirely new feature. She is one of the several really pretty women on the Vaudeville stage who always makes a hit. She sings sev- eral appropriate songs. and strange for woman is a very good whistler.
 Wills and Hassan, equilib-ists, are con-
 
 They have an act which abounds in hard feats which require almost marvellous strength.
 The revolving ladder act, which will be presented by the Brothers La Nolle, will probably be the biggest hit of the bill. On an aerial ladder they revove radiply until it seems almost impossible for them to cling to the ladder. The American wit agraph is the concluding feature.
 
 Joseph Murphy.
 Joseph Murphy, the popular Irish com edy actor will begin tomorrow evening his engagement In this city at the Jeff ferson Theatre presenting his favorte Irish dramas, shaun Rhue' and Kerry Cow" MT. Murphy is as well known as any actor or the stage, and 1t is un- necessary to dwell on his merits as an entertainer His art is finished, original and always fresh. He is not artificial, but simply the living and moving embodi- ment If the character he is impersonat- ing. He has a musical voice, a pleasing personality, and, above all, never panders to the taste of any one not caring for refined performance.
 Shaun Rhue" is ore of those homely Irish dramas that always appeals to the heart, and IS Shaun Rhue (Red John) Mir. Murphy 8 able to keep his audience in almost alternate laughter and tears. Laughter follows his droll Irishs wit and tears the moment of pathos, particularly when, driven from nome, he visits the grave of his mother, and picking up some of the earth, sings that pathetic ballad, "A Handful of Earth which never fails to make an impression. Kerry Cow fig an Irish play similar to Shaun Rhue," but shows the favorite actor in a role equally as strong as the Kerry blacksmith, with his stout heart, strong erm, and always ready to help any one in distress. As Dan O'Hara he Is full of Irish vim and wit, and his inn personation Is artistic and true.
 Kerry Cow will be the bill tomorrow night and Tuesday matinee. Tuesday night shaun Rhue'' will be done.
