known comedy "a Pair of Kids" is

countryman Jlles Button that is ire

seems 10 catch everybody. He will no
doubt be able us heretofore to drive
away any little melancholy that may
chance to linger around any one when
the curtain is rung up, for he is u
circus when he gets started. The
thousand and one situations in "a Pair
Of Kids" are about as ridiculously alb
surd as the mind Of man can conceive,
and people laugh because they cannot
help II. The piece is now In Its tenth
year and Is said to be funnier than
ever, having been rearranged here and
there to suit the demands of n specially
selected and strong company OF
comedians.
