Sea heir west window, at 1(13 Harney Street. "Cnpld aad the Dollar" at the Boyd. A play In three acts, by Charles Jeffrey; presented by Mr. Tim Murphy and his company of players. The characters and those who portray them: David Stratton, a wealthy American miner Mr. Tim Murphy Virginia Stratton, his daun'iter Miss Dorothy Snerrod Countess Urosoff, his adopted daughter Miss Minna Ferry Count Uroaoff, a Russian exile Mr. Allan Brander Paul Weston, formerly engage to the nountesB Mr. Kdward J. Hayes Loid Douglas, In love with Virginia Mr. William Sams Lady Jane, mother of Lord Douglas.. M:. Aubrey Powell Lady Evelyn Varney, u dlatant relation of Lady Jane's Miss Grace Harwell Peters, a valet Mr. O. J. fltlffin James, a footman Mr. James Dudley If ever Tim Murphy had a good play It is this season. Often he has scored suc cesses, but "Cupid and the Dollar" seems to present unusual opportunities for the genial actor to get to the heart of h!s auc'lence, for It Is often the heart strings that are touched, even though the piece is essentially a comedy and the audience Is laughing most of the time. Giving room for clever humor," wonderful pathos and that kind of playing that makes one wish the whole family cpuld see It, this latest of Tim Murphy's offerings was yet ac corded ot.Iy an ordinary audience at Its first performance In Omaha ThurFday night, but It Is believed that the three re maining presentations of the play . will be better attended, as many of last night's patrons remarked that it was the best piece the star has had since the days of "A Texas Steer." ( England Is the scene of the story's action ard like some of Mr. Murphy's former plays, acting and not acenery !s made the primal object of the production, for tin three acts have practically the tamo set ting. As the title would indicate, much of the play is concerned with the question of marriages for money, and many a hard rap is taken at the unions of Americnn heir esses and foreign titles. However, the ac tion of the piece brings forth one marriage tl at is a love affair, even though the nrlnc . pals are the daughter cf a wealthy Ameri can miner and an English lord. Starting with the love affair and re sulting engagement between the western born girl, who has a New York edu cation, and Lord Douglas, who turns out all right In the end. the utory leads through a somewhat involved situation that results from the desire of the en gaged American girl to save her foster sister from the scandal that would fol low an exposure of her love for a for mer sweetheart and her hate of the ex iled Russian count whom she had mar ried. The final scene of the first act depicts the suspicion of the count, the despera- ! tlon of the English lord at what lie sup- ' poses la the faithlSMness of his be- j trothed, the anguish of the suffering : countess, who Is temporarily shielded by ' the announced engagement of Virginia to the countess lover, and the happiness of the "dad" of the girl at what he be-' lleves to be best for his daughter and himself. This situation continues till the last scene, when the count Is exposed and undoue and things end happily for all others concerned. onta of the fun cf the play arises from the retired miner's decision to "turn dude" In order to sava his daughter from being ashamed of him. as be supposes. denly acquires, his unnatural desire for everything proper lr 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 wltli Tim Murphy presenting the character ono may easily Imagine how well 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, ap plause after the second act, and through out the course of the play he was greeted with that reception that only denotes recog nition of satisfactory work. The same voice, hair, facial expression and general bearing, and that Indescribable humor that only Tim Murphy can give to a role, all have their part In the character of David Stratton In "Cupid and the Dollar," and If they ever fitted a role they do this one. Miss Dorothy Slierrod und the other play era of the company win Just recognition for their efforts, Miss Snerrod, as the miner's 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 Sams in their parts also do well. The others In the east are well selected. "The Little Organ Grinder" at the Kng, "The Little Organ Grinder," a four-act musical drama by Hal Rcld of "Human Hearts" fame, began a three days engage ment at the Krug last night. Eleanor Calnes, as Clarice Lyndon, the little organ grinder, has the principal part and she combines romance, pathos and humor In a most versatile and charming manner. The scene of the play ia laid In and around New York and Includes the Bowery, Staten Island, Amboy Road and other well known places near the metropo lis. The central telephone station on the Bowery Is the location of one of the ex- exd many thrilling climaxes In the pi ty and the plot Is well carried to the eiid of the last act, when everything Is mat's, all right and everybody gets what Is (SDl'ng to Ukem.
