remembered long after the play itself
has been forgotten.
General interest is attached to the
appearance of Miss Dorothy Sherrod,
who appears in support of Mr.. Murphy.
Miss Sherrod is known as one of the
most attractive women on the stage
to-day, and as May Green, wife of ia
son, she does a delicious bit of acting
full of life and loneliness.
Mr.. Murphy, in making this revival
of "Old Innocence the present season,
is fulfilling the promise he made to
managers to present it again. This is
play to which Manager Seeskind says
he will give his Endorsement and guar
antee The sale of seats will open to-
morrow morning, at 8 o'clock. Prices:
Orchestra: $3.50 and 81; balcony. rs
and so cents.
Looked at from the popular stand
point, THE Telephone Girl" which
comes here Thursday, for matinee and
night performance, is very diverting
AFFAIR, indeed. 1t is bright and frothy
and is an exceedingly merry amuse-
ment with which to fill out an even
lng's leisure, and the dialogue insert
ed bears upon subject which is IA
miliar to nine-tenths of the commun-
lty, and that perhaps enhances its
value. Everybody can and does un-
derstand it. The scene in the first act
Is laid in the operating room of a
metropolitan telephone exchange. The
girls are ranged around the switch
BOARD, While in the foreground are the
desks of the chief operator, and the
others in charge of the establishment
A great deal is said and done which
IS side splitting exaggeration and
purlesque of what really happens in
such place. This sort of thing nat
urally appeals to the telephone using
part of the population, and is mex
pressibly comical The interest never
1or a moment flags, and is continued
throughout the second act to the fin
lsh. 1T is to laugh" to use hack
heyed term, and amuse, it unquestion-
ably does.
Joe Kane, as the Ger
man inspector, is amazingly funny,
and of that kind known as contagious
lie is the best dialect comedian now
on the stage, and in 1.-THE Telephone
Girl he is seen in his happiest VEIN
MISS Edith Valmisda. as "Estelle," is
Intensely cunning and chic. In her
singing and speeialties, she is very
CieVer. The others in the company are
an efhcient, and fully sustain the claim

IeVlin, the dancing wonder Pearle
EeVare, the dainty coincidence, George
Epner the fun-maker, ALT Holt, the
versatile mimic, Jethro Warner, Ruby
Marion, Mamie Keogh, Milton Dawson
and Ruth Jordan.
