Wo expected another triumph, such as "The Parish Priest. But our credulity has been shaken. We cannot take either Mr. Murphy, or Mr. Sully, or "The Chief Justice, seriously. The moment we make the attempt we find ourselves confronted with the proverbial grain of salt, if not the entire salt trust. A hill of exceptions or a demurrer might be filed against the play, and "The Chief Justice himself could not, In fairness, deny the petition. Mr. Murphy, in writing the story, had in mind Mr. Murphy, and not Mr. Sully. The epigrams in tho play are dry dock. Murphy- - isms. Mr. Sully makes all he can of the play, but its opportunities do not fit the genial comedian, whose forte is mild and quiet humor, free from sentimental dish wash. The play, judged from possible standards, contains a number of situations that justify the unfolding of the story. It proceeds along the Hues 6f least resistance, until the final act, when it butts into 9. J Helds band pleased the usual large house last Sunday evening. There were many strange faces In evidence, showing that the organization enjoys more than a local reputation. The encore fiend, notwithstanding his noise, was properly denied encouragement last Sunday night. This insistent product has been a source of annoyance at previous concerts. In future, however, while legitimate demonstrations will not be discouraged, there will be few concessions made to the man whose only, incentive to applause is the hope of prolonging the program. Anybody who can! absorb twenty-fiv- e cents worth of music from one of Helds con ! He should he forced to soak up an endless phonograph. Mr. Held seemed to sense the desires of his patrons, last Sunday. Everything on the program was applauded from the frothy bubbles in the Mississippi Bubble, at the beginning, to the more substantial bubbles in Faust, at the end. The Pilgrims chorus from Tanhauser was the most carefully read and executed of the classical numbers. Holzmans Bunch of Blackberries, hanging in e large clusters from the rag-timbushes, was sufficiently reminiscent to make the Saltair girls rorget their Easter bonnets. Stars and Stripes a la Sousa was an edho from Manhattan Beach with John Philip himself marching under his own baton. Indeed, Helds band always excels In this glorious frenzy of Sousas. Mr. Sims, clarinet, and Mr. Mackey, saxaphone, in Love and Friendship, were heard for the first time in a duet number. The friends of the respective gentlemen were united in the stormiest kind of applause. The vocal soloists' were Miss Ellen Thomas and Miss Eva Ward. Miss Thomas sang two numbers, Ardittis Ecstacy waltz song and the old favorite, Within a Mile o Edinboro. Miss Ward, accompanied on the piano by Madame De Loery, sang an aria from Robert le Diable, and De Kov-en- s pretty conceit, Can r Forget. While each lady made a pleasing Impression; I was disappointed at the ack of warmth and expression in their voices. Amateur singers seem afraid to put color Into their voices. I wonder if they arc fearful of staining future reputations? J dt The Ellerford Stock company began Its eight weeks engagement at the Grand theatre last Monday night, in A Flag of Truce, "A Man From Mexico will be given at todays matinee and evening performance. It is the intention, during the engagement, to present two plays each week, the bills being changed Mondays and Thursdays. The company has already established itself in the favor of the Grand patrens, and will, no doubt, continue to please during the season.
