Comic dialogue in blackface character.
Conroy and Murphy followed, a return engagement within five weeks, and did very well with the same act as before. Frank Conroy is now billing Harry Murphy's name, so the combination has concluded to stick. If Mr. Murphy would be somewhat more forceful in
his straight work, it would help his end. He appears only to be so when thinking of it, at
other times lapsing into an easy way that doesn't make the straight work severe enough. Otherwise the team is well balanced, and, of course, Conroy in blackface will always carry it. One never grows tired of his darkey character.
