JOSEPH MURPHY AT THE GRAND.

Joseph Murphy, the Irish character
actor, will be the attraction at the
Grand this week, presenting those two
old standbys, Kerry Cow" and Shaun
Rhue."
Kerry Cow" is typically Irish. 1t
tells of Dan O'Hara's love for pretty
Nora Drew. He is farrier, warm
hearted and honest. While he does not
claim to be brilliant, he is gifted with
that wit and acumen which help Irish
men to high places in the world The
DreWs are being pressed for a mort
gage, which was gotten by Valentine
Hay, scoundrel, who has the pre-
sumption to declare his love for the in
nocent Nora. When he is refused, Hay.
leaves no stone unturned to crush the
DreWs and O'Hara. He uses hench-
men to hide pixies in the forge of the
farrler, and gives out the story that
O'Hara was making those pixies for the
rebels. That meant death in those
Gays. OHara is arrested, but his in
nocence is proven after his escape.
Beaten in this plot, Hay intends fore
c!oslng, but the younger Drew has a
thoroughbred, which will sell for
enough money to clear the debt, pro-
Vlded the horse wins. Hay secures the
greatest race horse of the day. and the
contest is between the two animals.
DreWs horse wins, the mortgage is
paid and Nora and the farrier close the
story with kiss, after Hay and his
henchmen are dragged to Jail for con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Murphy and his helper make
music On the anvil while beating red
not iron into horseshoes, and the cIat-
ter and singing and dancing are SO
true to life that one forgets himself
and believes that Mr.. Murphy has taken
MIN into his own little shop. Then the
race is made exciting by the fact that
the news is carried to the stage bv-
carrier pigeons.

tuesday nights and Wednesday matt

day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday

ELkS TO PLAY "A NIGHT IN 30
HEMIA."

After seeing old-time minstrelsy pro-
duced by the st. Paul lodge of Elks for
so many years, the thousands of thea
tergoers who never miss the Elks' bene-
fit are nc doubt wondering what the
lodge has in store for them this year.
Yielding to the popular demand for
