men are all new to us-all Englishmen who

sketch called Button 1t Up" This mean
ingless title is its most Objectionable
feature. The laughs come in when two
smoky mokes begin work at sanitarium.
They annoy the patients, mix medicines and
confuse things generally.
Mcintyre Is given an opportunity to in
dulge in his pastime of getting the best

by Joking at his partners expense. There
are no suggestive puns or reaching out aft

When these comedians were here earlier
in the season they were handicapped by an
impossible sketch, and the change for the
better Is pleasing relief to their old fol-

by impersonating the half a dozen minor
persons introduced during the action of the
piece.
He changes from one part to another

1.-THE CROSS WAYS" WELL
PRESENTED BY MRS. LANGTRY

The Cross Ways is one of the thrilling
sort-with moments that bring you to 4
clasp of your chair arms and a gasp over
what might happen. but which, as rule,
doesn't. The piece comes from the pen o.
Mrs. Langtry, the charming and ever young
actress who plays in it. Its chief justifca-
ton is its quality as simple entertainment.
1t builds an early attention and holds it
throughout the four acts.
One is quite sure that the airy manner
in which two OF the greatest of human sins
are treated is not good art or good nature,
but the utterly ingenious way In which
playwright and actors handle the subject
brings you to forget the offense and even
smile at the pleasant end that comes for all
sinners included.
Mrs. Langtry wears some interesting
gowns, one in the third act possessing es-
pecial merits in the matter of a voluminous
skirt that suggests an old picture, though
the fashion sharps say that 1t runs ahead
of newness in style.
However that may be. it's worth going
down to the Olympic to see. There is a
good company of players in support of Mrs.
Langtry this year. OF these the men are
notable There is little for women in the
play-indeed, the piece is remarkable for the
slender thread of feminine intrigue that
