Tim NurFh.'S New Play.

The return of Mr Murphy to the
 t,ik's Theater soon when he will give
 an elaborate production of his most
 successful comedy, @Cupid and the
 Dollar is one of the most assured
 pleasures in store for lovers of native
 Nmerican comedy. Since the passing
 of Joseph Jefferson, Sol Smith Russell
 ani John r. Raymond and the retire
 ment of Nat Goodwin, there remains
 no other player of high aim and sound
 art who dcvotes himself to the same
 lines of characterization N" Mur-
 phy has followed one ideal. He has Isousht to plaes on the stage amusing expressions of the finer types of Amer jean manhood, whether from the plains tof Texas, the drawing rooms of New
 York, the cabins of the Adrondacks, the political circles of washington or
 the mines of the West. He has Sleaned with an eye to the humanity and the integrity of the character. George Goodale called him the Gar rick of America" because like the immortal English actor his art seems to know l4o limitations that human nature does not know. His great pub lie recognize this and they love Tim Murphy for the broad humanity of his characterizations But they admire Ihis practical side, too. as ! manager who furnishes superior support beat ! tiful dressing, artistically conrlete
 scenic background and all the many Accessories necessary to satisfA. an eye lf0r completeness and detail.
