Mr.. Murphy, as the whimsical, tender
hearted Boland, is delightful.
The play i well constructed. with
a number of bright lines, well-drawn
characters and at times there are sit
uations that are melodramatic.
At the end of the second act Mr..
murphy, after responding to several
curtain calls, made a little speech of

story.
Miss Sherrod appears as an Ameri-
a woman, the widow of an Italian
duke, in whom John Boland discovers
the girl he had loved in his youth.
She assists hi min his matchmaking
scheme and she has some pleasing
scenes with him. Miss Sherrod has
the same roguish twinkle in her eye,
the same merry laugh and the same
sweet voice that won her friends
here, and her part is one that she
fills ex%cellently. Incidentally she
wears some handsime gowns and hats.
Miss Dorothy Davies. as the Prin-
cess Vittoria di Altamonte, acts her
part with good taste. She reads her
well and intelligently, and makes
an attractive picture, first in her
peasant costume, in which she mas
qnerades, and later in her court dress.

number of years. Mr.. Murphy is a
strong favorfte in New Orleans and
has a following of loyal admirers
here who have remained faithful in
their allegiance whether he has a
good play Or a bad one, and whether
he has a good company or a poor one.
There have been seasons past when
Mr.. Murphy has had both a poor com

.teresting play hat never grows tire
some, but increases in interest from

all, Miss Dorothy Sherrod has the
best part she has had in years, and
this is a matter Of congratulation, as
this charming coincidence has been
woefully miscast in a number of Mr..
Murphy's plays in the past few years.
The scenes of "My Boy" are laid in
Italy and the play tells the story of
the multi-nillionaire whose son has
fallen in love with an Italian princess,
whose father will not permit her to
marry an American. John Boland,
played by Mr.. Murphy, is the multi

for his son forms the main theme of
the story. He carries the fight even
