THE THEATRES
pt.+1nsnished Artist. IN City.

80 Today Wheeling will entertain as its
guest Mn. Louise Homer. Prima Donna
contralto OF the Metropolitan Opera, and
La: bort Murphy. the eminent concert
tenor. While one OF these artists is gen
orally described as an operate contral-
to, and the other as Il concert tenor.
there IS no real reason why the word OPP
cratic or concert should be used to linn
it the activities OF either. Both have
achieved rrrrarkahl" success on both the
operate stage and the concert plat
form.
Wheeling Is indeed fortunate in hear
ing these two artists in joint recltai.
Any city is fortunate to hear either one
of them-to say nothing OF hearing
them together. The concert tonight
promises to pc the most successful or
the year
OF course. the names Of both these ar
lists are household words IN Wheeling
land throughout the country. and Victor
records have made their voices familiar
10 nil. II is little wonder that the C"tTs
promises to be packed with their dcro-
tees before $50 this eycninE-the hour
when the concert will begin.
Coming Tomorrow.
A good wholesome play with plenty or
action, comedy and romance. is My
Irish Cinderella" which comes to the
Court tomorrow matinee and night.
It tells the story Of the adventures In
this country of Peggy Mcneil. little
Irish girl who has been raised IN the
Door house. She of course is not we'll
rersed in the ways Of the world but her
brain is keen and her heart Is true and
she cleverly distinguishes between the
real and artificial things in life.
She has been taken TO London by the
nephew OF the Earl Of Donsdale. who Is
plotting TO set control OF the estates OF
the Earl and there are scenes which arc
almost melotlramatic In their Intensity
and which lead TO big climax. Every
audience which serS My Irish Cinder-
ella. follows with closest attention the
