Miss May Irwin, who had but just
"Obliged" with a coon song. When
the bidding began. Miss Irwin got
up uncomfortably, and made her
way out. Near the door she was
stopped by party of friends at one
of the tables, who urged her to re-

tain speeches. Ezra Kendall tells of
little street gamin he admitted to

Ai'C vi ShiA NoihO UP " tIlc L.
Kendall was taking tickets himself
and presented pineapple, which he
offered in exchange for the privilege
of seeing the performance. The Of
fer was accepted by Mr.. Kendall, and
the exchange of courtesies," as he
termed it, effected. After the show
he caught sight of the youngster on
the corner and called to him: "See
here. Johnnie, you cheated me; that
pineapple was rotten" 81 never
cheated you," yelled the boy: 80
was the show" And Ezra concluded
the story with the quiet remark, land

Tim Murphy, it is said, will revive
the play he made so popular, Hoyt's
Texas Steer" in January, and will
play his original role, that of the
Honorable Maverick Brander. Do
rothy Sherrod will again become a
member of the company, and will
have have her former part, "Bossy."
Murphy has tried other plays since
sidetracking the "Texas Steer" with
varying success. AS long as he sticks
to it, he will maintain his popularity,
and when he changes, it must be to a
better play-which, for him, will be
hard to find.
