THE THEATRE
Mr. Tim Murpby in Old Innocence
played to u very largo ami enthusiastic
audiene3 at the Oliver on Tuesday
night Mr. Murphy is one of the ta'l,
loose-jointed, kind, easy comedians. As
Old Innocenco he was an old man of
sixty in voico, in jesture and in walk.
His qualities of mind and heart lit him
for tbo character of tho tin?, good old
man in Old Innocence. The play is
adapted from tho French of Lis Potits
Oisjaux the little birds. Mr. Green
and Miss CJ 10:11 use tho little, birds in
several elocutionary passages to justify
the French title. Tho birds themselves
do not appear except as canaries hung
in a cage at the back of tha stfga and in
thesophomori'jal remarks abovo referred
t. The play is a pastello vigre-tte. It
is a phase, a mocd, it lias no plot. It
leginsand ends with arousing un old
man's suspicion. Mr. Murphy's voico
is m'lodiojs and bis words are distinct
as thoso of tho friend by your sido. His
nut bod is bimplo and direct, and it was
especially pleasing to the audionco which
was largely composed of members of tho
editorial ass elation. They called Mi.
Murpby and his company beforo tho
cuiUiu many timoj and at last Mr.
Murpby made a speech in which, out of
compliment to Mr. Brjaa, the actor cx-pre-srd
doubts as to tbo arrival of pros
perity, lie a!s3 said that oa account of
his name bjirg Tim Murpby pcoplo
WJuId probably never get over expect
ing to see a song and dance artist when
they came to see Tim Murpby.
.Mr. Murpby has, hewever, overcome
his name to a largo extent, though I ad
mit it is a drawback. Tho impersona
tions in the latter part wcro good though
not up to the old man of the tirst part,
for whLh Irs mako up was us good as
Richard Maotfied's which is saying
everything. His support was good.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod wa3 a littlo arti
ficial, but she enunciated plainly, which
is more than can Le said of Miss Kalh
eiino Stuart, who ran her words together
inexcusably. R:chaid Ljle as the etinyy
6elf-conflJant man made a hit.

C. B. Jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger's

Wh9n Mr. Lewis Morrison appears at
the Fucke opera houso Thursday even
ing, Fobtuary 3, ho will present for tho
tirst timo in this city his greatest suc
cess, "The Master of Ceremonies,' it is a
dramatization by Cooto and Cntten of
George Manvillo Fenn's famous novel
which proved ono of tho literary suc
cesses of tne past year. Mr. Morrison,
1
Lnwis .wonuipo.v.
in having the novel shaped for dramatic
purposes, ha3 given to the st3go a beau
tiful pi y with a heait interest that
holds an audience spellbound. It wbb a
happy thought, enJ in it Mr.Moirison
has found a success exceeding his fond
est hopes.
Mr. Morrison's conception of tho title
role is mast-rly. It s not inferior to his
Soeke Fuom "Master of Ceke.mo.vies.
Faust, neither to bis "Yorick" or "Riche
lieu." The production is a magnificent
one, and the costumes aro superlatively
bcaut'f ul. Miss Florence R" bberts is as
usual his leading support and is seen at
her best in this play. The company is
a big one and includes many prominent
actors, such names as White Whittleeay,
Boitoa Hill, Gordon, Foster and Charhs
Willard aro a guarantee of excellence.
