"Nfrs. Murphy's Second Husband" Is a Hilarious Comedy Abounding
 With Laughs
fEv IIeraltI EeNipuer).

tEy Herald Reviewer). Mrs. Murphy's Second Husband
 written and personally directed by, as
 well as featuring Miss Oracle Emmett, | is the hilarious comedy, that might even be called a farce, which is being presented in style all their own by the Poli Players at the Palace thea
 ter in Hartford. This vehicle pro-
 vidcs d constant stream of laughs
 from the moment the curtain rises
 on the first act until it dcsccnds ou
 the last. It is indeed d 'one man
 show and though the poli Players
 most capaby support Miss Emmett, it
 is evident that the production would
 be quite wort hlcss without her. She
 is an eccentric Irish Comcdiennc
 possessing q characteristic brogue and
 manncrisms which, when properly displayed evoke loud laughter from the audience. The play is a success because it is human and emotionaIy appeals to the heart of the average person.
 Too much cannot be said of the splendid work done by Miss Emmett. She has appeared in this role hun drcds Of times but at no time could she have been seen to better advan- tagc than last evening. Miss Em- melt is most capably supported by old and new members of the poli Players. Arthur Howard returns to the cast this week as Barney McGcc, an adopted son. He was enthusiastic ally greeted upon his entrance and his work is up to the usual standard.
 Tho first nighters were greeted to ! most pleasant and agreeable sur prise in the second act when Joseph Wagstaff. the popular juvenile, was ,allcd upon to entertain the guests al Nrs.
