JfSrn-iCA " r r THE SORANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28. 1900. AT THEm Theaters ' Tim Murphy at the Lyceum. 'At the Lyceum laBt nlsht for the necond time this season Tim Murphy presented his political comcay, "ine CarpetbaRger," before un nudlencc that was much smaller than ll should have been. Mr. Murphy In the role of Melville Cr.ince, the Carpetbag governor of Mississippi, Is doing the best work ot hlc rareer. He has a true sense of what Is ludicrous and Is artist enough to know that there are moments when silence Is more eloquent than spoken words. There are few If any of thi comedians of today who can got bet ter effects by legitimate means than Mr. Murphy. Hid present pluy gives him greater opportunities than nny of those that have gone before and Is a decided step forward. It Is not too much to expect that the future hold In store for him much better thing than he has yet achieved. Since he was seen here last the fourth net of the comedy has .been changed materially. It Is more concise and ar tistic than In Its original form. Mr. Murphy had the assistance of a very satisfactory company In present ing "The Carpet Uaggnr." The strong, est members of It were Dorcthy Sher wood and Matilda Wofllnij. "The Olrl from Maxim's." The attraction at the Lyceum theater this evening will bo "The Girl from Maxim's," said to be the most daring of the numerous adaptations of sensa- wmmmmmimmmmm tlonal French farces which Manager Churles Frohman has presented in America. The farce Is from the pen of Georges Feyde.au, author of "The Gay Pari sians." It Is said to contain many hu moious Incidents and Ingenious situa tions. All the original cast that car ried the play to success will be seen during Its engagement here. The com pany Illustrating It will be headed by Mips Men I Osborne and Mr. W. J. Fer guson. "Princess Chic" at the Lyceum. Given exquisite music and abundance of genuine fun, an Interesting story and elegant costumes and stage set tings, there Is the material for a popu lar form of stage entertainment. It Is said that all these elements are sun plied In almost lnvlsh manner by Klrko La Shclle'p opera company In "The Princess Chic," which will be the at traction at the Lyceum tomorrow night with the same great company of sixty artists that have become famous. It would seem that there can be no doubt about the elegance of the production. It Is said to be one ot the costliest ever heen In the way of comic opera. The Philadelphia Times said that "It belongs to the royal line In the way ot entertainment." The Inquirer said that "It was the prettiest, daintiest, witti est and cleanest, and in all respects the most meritorious opera seen since The Olesha.'" The company Includes In Its artists such consummate artists as Christie MacDonald, Mathllde Prevlllc, Mar garet Sayre. Harry Brown, Joseph Ml ron, Wlnlleld Blake, Walter Lawrence, Thomas Leary, Clinton Elder and Max well Collins. The chorus numbers fifty. "An Actor's Romance." A play that has many novel features was presented at the Academy of Mu lo yesterday afternoon by the Cook Church company. It Is "An Actor's Romance" and gives a very faithful idea of life behind the scenes. The au dience was limited only by the capacity of the house. Last night nnother large audience saw "Land of the Midnight Sun." This afternoon the company will present "The District Fair" and tonight "Northern Lights." Nordica in Wllkes-Barre.
