The amusing English drawl that he sud-
denly acquires, his unnatural desire for
everything proper in haberdashery after
telling his valet in a former scene to go
to some place where cool weather would
not bother him and to let him alone, all
add humor to the situations, and with
Tim Murphy presenting the character ono
may easily imagine how we'll the work
was received.
According to custom, Mr.. Murphy, his
pleasant face and one or two new stories,
responded before the curtain to a hearty
and prolonged, though not voluminous. APP
plause after the second act, and through
out the course of the play he was greeted
with that reception that only denotes recog-
milton of satisfactory work. The same
voice. hair, facial expression and general
bearing, and that ndescribable humor that
only Tim Murphy can give to a role, all
stratton in Cupid and the Dollar" and if
they ever fitted a role they do this one.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod and the other play
ers of the company win just recognition for
their efforts, Miss Sherrod, as the miners
daughter, portraying the part with her
usual skill and strength. If any of the
parts may be called heavy in a comedy,
that carried by Miss Ferry is in this one,
and she proves quite able to play it. The
accent of Mr.. Brander as the bad count
exiled from Russia and married for money
to an American girl, deserves mention for
him along with his portrayal of the cruel
husband, while Messrs. Hayes and Sans in
their parts also do well. The others in the
east are we'll selected.

was a matter which should be care
fully considered and the directors did
not feel as though they should be
nasty in the matter. After it was seen
that the street lights would burn and
that Keokuk would likely be no longer

act was then officially passed.
