The local amusement caterers pro
vided a diversified and pa 0.able menu
for patrons of the play dtJLng the past
■week. The most notable engagement,
perhaps, was that of Tim Murphy, the
droll comedian whom a Western critic
has styled “the Nineteenth Century
David Garrick.” Mr. Murphy acquired
fame as a comedian in the role of
“Maverick Brander” in Hoyt’s "A Tex
as Steer.” Last season he starred in
the title role in “Old Innocence,” and
gave also some splendid impersona
tions in his own creation of "Sir Henry
Hypnotized.” It was this same double
bill W’hich he offered patrons of the
Opera House for three performances
last week. If the engagement was not
as successful as anticipated, this fact
does not reflect the Wheeling public’s
estimate of Mr. Murphy’s ability as a
comedian. No better has appeared on
a local stage in recent years. Mr. Mur
phy is an artist, with all that the term
implies. “Old Innocence,” while a very
pleasing comedy, is not the sort of pro
duction that the public cares to witness
a second or third time. Besides, it does
not afford sufficient opportunities for
either the star or his support. Mr.
Murphy’s impersonations are beyond
criticism, as indeed, is all his work.
His friends in Wheeling, whose name
is legion, hope to see him in a new
play next season.
Manager Chas. A. Feinler has pro
vided two attractions possessing a bet
ter than ordinary merit for that house.
"The Fast Mail” is a scenic melodrama,
one of Lincoln J. Carter’s productions,
which is more successful in showing
the possibilities of stage mechanism
than from an artistic standpoint. The
company is fair. “Always on Time” is
^'"border drama, pronounced by all who
./witnessed it as a really excellent play
of Its character. There is not much i 1
the play itself that is new, or different
from others in which the discovery # f
an heiress in a mining camp furnishes
the theme for the plot; but the cast was
exceptionally strong, and this would
be sufficient to guarantee to any play
a fair measure of success.
The ladies of the B. V. M. Sodality
of St. Joseph’s Cathedral, gave a very
c reditable entertainment at the Carroll
Club auditorium Tuesday evening. A
double bill was presented—the farce,
“Murder Will Out,” and Tennyson’s
“Dream of Fair Women.” From a dra
matic standpoint, the ladies did exceed
ingly well, and they manifested exqui
site taste in the costuming and stage
settings. It is understood that a repe
tition of the performance in Weston,
Clarksburg and other cities in the State
is contemplated.
The theatrical season thus far has
been remarkable for the number of old
plays which have more or less been re
vised. and offered under new titles.
“Railroad .Tack" saw veteran service
tinder another title: “In Atlantic City”
was “My Dad the Devil,” at its second
christening; “Always on Time” is a
combination of “Nugget Nell” and an
other sensational drama, whose title
cannot be recalled; and there are others.
It would appear that new plays are
scarce, or more probably that the mon
ey to buy them is scarcer.
One of the most unique character cre
ations on the America stnage is that of
“Sis Hopkins,” in which Rose Melville
appears as a silly, bashful, lisping girl.
During a recent session of the West
Virginia Legislature “Zeb” was produc
ed at the Charleston theatre. Miss Mel
ville appeared as “Sis” and created a
sensation among the staid legislators.
They were possessed with a curiosity
to see her off the stage, and not less
than a score of them lounged about the
lobby of the hotel awaiting her return.
When they discovered that she is a
prepossessing woman, they were not
only amazed, but complimented her
highly upon her art.
In these times of financial depression.
Kastern managers have adonted the
“bargain matinee,” admitting ladies to
the best seats in the house at a nom
inal price. The movement has been
very successful, and it is understood j
that a local manager contemplates giv- j
ing a “bargain matinee” in the very
near future.
Though the stringency of the times has
compelled an army of theatrical ven
tures to retire from the field, many meri
torious organizations are meeting de
served success. Among tha money-mak
ers of the season is the sterling comedy,
“Other People’s Money,” now being ex
ploited by Mr. Hennessy Leroyle, and
which will be presented at the Opera
House, Friday, October S. This comedy
Is now nearly as w’ell known by the pub
lic as the celebrated Hoyt comedies, and
takes rank as the peer of any witty
mirth-producer of late years. Of Hen
nessy Leroyle it may be truthfully said:
destined to rank with the best
the time, ambitious, pains
eo%scientious to a high de
endo^ied with a wealth of per

ttrely his own, thus demonstrating him*
self an artist in the best sense at the
term.
"The Prodigal Father,” which will be
the attraction at the Orand the host half
of the week. Is without doubt, one of the
best, if not the best, farce comedies on the
road this season. Glen McDonough, it’s
author, has in this more than out-done
himself, and by deviating from the usual
productions of this nature, "that is by
leaving the plot intact,’’ demonstrated
that farce comedy can only exist or flour
ish under such circumstances. The most
skeptic can feel secure in the thought
that money paid to see this, is money well

spent and time well employed. The lines
of “The Prodigal Father” are full of rich
comedy of the highest order, replete with
specialties unique and catcny, and of the
highest order of sterling worth, one after
another in roitous rotation the mirth pro
voking situations appear, and only when
the curtain falls on the last act can one
control one’s laugh-controlling nerves.
T'he large list of specialties are so inters
persed In the play as to make it a ver
itable oleoguerous conglomeration of
mirth, music and song.
MISS SIBYL SAMMIS.
The above is a good picture of the
popular young soprano singer who
made such a favorable impression when
she appeared here last Sunday with
Brooke and his famous Chicago Marine
Band, and it will be a source of grati
fication to the music loving public of
Wheeling and vicinity to learn that she
will be here again with the band next
Sunday afternoon and evening at the
Wheeling Park Casino. The Park As
sociation decided on Friday, after
having been beseiged on all sides to
secure, if possible, a return engage
ment of what is without doubt the
greatest concert organization in’Amer
ica. The band will come direct from
the Pittsburg Exposition, where it is
at present filling one of the most suc
cessful engagements In the history of
the Exposition, and although just one
week of the engagement is finished,
contracts have been already signed for
next season, which will make the third
that the Chicago Marine Band has
furnished the concert music for that
great affair. No other band has ever
been engaged for more than two sea
sons.
Of course two concerts will be given
next Sunday, the first commencing at
2:30 and the other at 8:30 p. m. Special
motors will be run to and from the
Park and the 2 p. m. train and a spec
ial evening train at 7:30 will run direct
to the Casino platform. The admission
to the Casino will only be 25 cents for
each concert. The programmes for
both concerts will be entirely different
from those of last Sunday, and will be
made up of popular music, the rendi
tion of which has made the Chicago
Marine Band famous all over the coun
try. Special excursions have been ad
vertised on all lines for this occasion.
There are just enough really thrilling
situations, and humorous episodes, with a
fair proportion of love interest, in Cres
ton. Clarke’s new romance, “The Last of
His Race,” to make it an ideally popular
play. When it is presented at the Opera
House on next Tuesday evening and
Wednesday matinee, the theatre-goers of
Wheeling will enjoy what can be truth
fully said to be one of the most preten
tious productions that will be seen here
this year. Mr. Clarke has provided a
complete.equipment of special scenery for
the play, none of the local theatre’s scen
ery being used at all. It has been his aim
to provide an entertainment that shall be
as nearly perfect as a liberal expendi
ture of .money for scenery and costumes,
and a thorough knowledge of what should
be done, can do. There is plenty of
action in “The Hast of His Race." At
times the situations are intense. There is
seldom much applause during the progress
of the play, but in every city where the
piece has been rendered, the end of each
act is marked by outbursts cf genuine ap
proval, such as are seldom witness, d.
Mr. Clarke i.-^sdepartc-d for the present
from the ShaH^orian field, and is giv

believes to be one of the strongest roman
tic pieces now upon the stage. On Wed

“The Lady of Lyons.”
BOSTON, October 3.—Joseph Proctor,
the veteran actor, died at 12:43 a. m.. at
his home on Columbus avenue, after a
long illness. Mr. Proctor was bom in
Marlborough. Mass., in 1816, and made his
debut upon the stage in 1833, in “Damon
and Pythias.” He had in his time played

Dieting » Barbarous aad Uaeleaa On*.
We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians well
consider the first step to take in art
tempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods or to
greatly diminish the quantity usually
taken, in other words the starvation
plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the
moment Dyspepsia makes its appear
ance a course of dieting is at once ad
vised.
All this is radically wrong. It is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to a man suffer
ing from Dyspepsia, because Indiges
tion itself starves every organ and ev
ery nerve and every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abund
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur
pose for which Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and Stu
art’s Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for
him. In this way the system is nour
"ished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not. One of these tablets will digest
3,000 grains of meat or.eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
art’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy sold for stomach
troubles, and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepara
tion. Sold at 50 cts. for full sized
package at all drug stores.

A vaudeville and burlesque com
pany of unquestioned ability, Manager
Harry Hill’s “Mile. Ani’s Monarchs,”
opens at the Grand Opera House on
Thursday night for a half week. The
sterling nature of the attraction can
be understood when it is stated that
all their dates are filled, not only for
the present season but for the season
of 1898-99. Manager Hill can be just
ly proud of the artists whom he has
drawn together, each of whom stands
unrivalled in his or her line. Mile.
Ani, in her novel trapeze tricks, is a
wonder and the undoubted monarch of
this merry band. Pretty girls in
gorgeous costumes, funny comedians,
clever dancers and singers contribute
to a first class performance. The
artists are assisted by the entire com
I pany in a bright and sparkling bur
lesque, entitled. “Paris Upside Down;
or, A Trip to Gotham.” This is full
of catchy music and side-splitting sit
uations, and is a fitting finale to an
entertainment which is placed by its
merit in the front rank.

“It is too often the case,” says Leander
Richardson, “that strong companies are
engaged for New York only, and that
when the people who live in other cities
came to see the plays they have heard so
well spoken of in the metropolis, the casts
are so inadequate that the spectators are
filled with resentment and indignation.”
We said last week that there is not
one literate, instructed, intelligent, cul
tured manager of plays or playhouses in
this city; we may add t£at there is not
half a one. We say again that the
drama has been degraded to suit the
tastes of men whose minds are debauched
and women whose minds are weak; that
it is in the hands of “managers” who are
conspicuously ignorant, uneducated, un
cultured, coarse, vulgar and facetious ni
sensuality..—New York Musical Courier.
The popularity of Wagner’s music
(in that of his drama I entirely dis
believe) is due wholly to its pandering to
passion. It has often struck me as
singular, and yet not beyond explana
tion, that our moral purists seem to be
completely blind to the fact that there
is such a thing as musical indecency and
that it is to be found in the most re
spectable quarters. Plato was by no
means wrong when he laid it down that
certain kinds of music should not be per
mitted.—Paris Figaro.
No actress who has deserted the legiti
mate stage for vaudeville is so constantly
employed as is Lillian Burkhardt. Half
of last season she appeared in the Keith
theatres, and during the next three
months she will be constantly employed
in New York and Boston. Miss Burk
hardt has appeared in no less than
seven comediettas during the past year.
The average vaudeville player uses one

Tuesday’s New York Herald says:
“Merode, the beauty, had come, seen and
conquered.. Merode, the ballerina, had
fallen as flat as the prety braids over
her ears. The joke seems to be' on the
papers that have piled Pelions of false
praise upon Ossas of Misconception.”
“She seemed,” says the Tribune, “so pa
thetically inadequate, so woefully insig
nificant in the midst of all the gorgeous
stage setting that every one felt sorry
for her. There was hardly a ripple of ap
plause. On the whole, the atempt to
make a stor out of the chorus girl results
in a ludicrous performance, and it is only
accentuated by the gorgeous stage pic
ture.”
In London, Melba received this season
for a new performance during the jubilee,
$1,000 each, the highest price she ever re
ceived in England. Here she charges two
and a half times as much, and it will
make no difference to her whether her
managers become bankrupt or not. She
will not bankrupt Continental managers,
neither wall Reszke. The Continental
managers manage to keep these people
down to a reasonable level, $200 to $500
a night each; not $2,500 to $3,000 a night
each, like here. . Hence no bankruptcy
there; hence failure here. Hence a great
opportunity for nativ artists there; hence
no chance for native artists here.—Musi
cal Courier.
Eugene Cowles, who is now divorced,
was a bank clerk in Canada before he
went on the stage, and he was married
when a very young man. Subsequently
ho moved to Chicago and worked in a
bank there, singing only as an amateur.
The chance for his professional debut
came about in the usually accidental way,
and not until he was suddenly called upon
to take the place of one of the
singers in the Bostonions, -who was laid
up by sickness, did he realize the possi
bilities of his success on the stage. Mrs.
Cowles, who has just got a divorce, found
theatrical life extremely distasteful to
her from the outset, and she could never
become reconciled to it. Her opposition
to her husband's appearance as a pro
fessional was never decreased by his
success, and their ultimate inability to
agree has always been looked upon os
the result of their wholly different views
of professional life. Eugene Cowles is
a man of great simplicity and modesty of
manner. eH is one of the best paid
singers on the comic stage to-day. He
is said to get over $300 a week.

One of the most enjoyable as well as
successful affairs of the season was the
oyster supper served at at the Presbyter
ian church last evening by the men of the
congregation. Owing to the novelty of the
affair, it being something entirely new to
the people here, a large number of people
partook of the supper, which was an ex
cellent one. The men proved that they
were fully as capable of mastery in the
culinary art as their wives were, that is,
those who had wives. There were nine
tables set in the auditorium of the church.
All were very prettily decorated with
tlowers. Six white aproned waiters at
tended each table, under the supervision
of A. J .Smith, the head waiter, and saw
that none of the patrons wanted for bi
valves. raw, stewed or fried. The event
passed off very nicely and much credit
is due those who had charge of it.
