Mr.. Joseph Murphy, the leading re-
| fined Irish character comedian in two
of the most successful plays ever written
Kerry Cow" and "Shaun Rhue" will
be the rare attraction offered at the
Grand Opera House, Friday, Feb s. Mr..
Murphy is one of the few actors who
belong to the class of which the late
Joseph Emmett was a member. He is
artistic in every act, and is pleasing to
his audience He does not cheaper his
talent by bidding for popularity in vul-
gar manner, but adheres rigidly to the
line of character he assumes. He has a
well modulated, deep, resonant voice
and splendid stage appearance. He is,
in fact, one of the few men who are so
fortunately endowed for portrayal of
characters he essays, as to be able to
please and amuse the most simple and
at the same time meet the exactng re-
! quirements of the most aesthetic.
Kerry Cow" and "Shaun Rhue' pos
sess beauty of dramatic construction,
romance of plot, stirring action, literary
! quality, and scenic beauty, besides de-
veloping strong plots of human interest.
They also afford the introduction of
scenery that is almost spectacular Mr..
Murphy is supported by an excellent
company of actors, who have for years
played the roles assigned to them and
have attained corresponding degree
of proficiency. The engagement will
be a memorable one as a dramatic
event. Prices 81 90 75-50-25 cents.

and Yep Willie says that his brethef'n

their tongues rs the result of the after
effects of their blow out. That day Hop

festival. Several choice rats had been
imported from their native land, which
with large decoctions of rice, were
licked up by the chop sticks of these
Mongolians Following the feast they
''hit the pipe" and then came strains of
such music as was never before heard
in Wausau; it put kink in the tail of
the alligator in the. show window of
Paul Hahnheiser nextdoor. Yep Willie
asserts that the celebration was not
much on the Mclean style but that
they had 'velly good time"
