He Will Have Two in His Repertoire
This Season.
Tim Murphy in the role Of author as
well as actor is one Of the possibilities
of the not remote future. The come
dian believed he had written a play
peculiarly adapted TO his needs until
the middle Of last season. when he re-
ceived the manuscript of a new comedy
by Frederick Paulding. He had the dis
cernment TO see the superiority Of this
play and decided to give il priority Of
production. Shortly afterwards among
many other manuscripts Mr. Murphy
found a gem from A c. Bishop. of San
Francisco. an unknown so far as the
stage Is concerned. Unable to decide be-
tween these 5wo plays he has determin-
ed to offer both TO the public as UNI
plre.
Mr.. Paulding's play is called Two
Men and a Girl" Mr.. Bishops comedy
is When a Man Marries" MI Murphy
is now rehearsing both plays and will
make completely new productions Of
both at the end of this month. His
season opens in Norfolk, Va, August
%. Both plays will be given in every
city. one night stands having been COM
pletely eliminated from Mr. Murphy :
tour except in a few instances of break
ing impractical jumps. Cities like Nor
folk, Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas, Nash
vile, Omaha, and others usually played
for one night will see Mr.. Murphy two
nights, each night in a different play.
Mr.. Murphys tour extends South to
New Orleans, where he opens the Tu-
lane Theater, and thence North to st.
Louis and Chicago. The more popular
play OF the two will be presented on
Broadway in February.
Mr.. Murphy will carry two carloads

pany numbers over twenty. They are.

OF mischief, has stretched from the rocks

coming beams streaming out over the

not given much thought TO the wonder
