Excuse Me- is unusual in that all the

But there were not enough incidents 10

plot-not enough even to meet the require
ments Of farce. II was a fairly good
picture Of things that might take place
aboard a train, but that does not make a
play, especially when the interest Is divided
among twenty-five people, including a dog.
The piece is a good series Of cartoons but
1t IS not comedy. The audience usually
laughed when Willis Sweetnam spoke, for
he was the colored porter, and a very good
porter he was Miss Ann Murdock was
very attractive, but what a part she had.
John Wesley was wasted on q stupid char

EMPIRE THEATRE
Miss Barrymore and IAN Evening
with Barrie.

Monday night brought a pleasant change
in the Empire Theatres bill. Miss Barry
more returned to one of her old parts
that we'll remembered one in "Alice-Sit-By-
the Fire" and she took UP new one in
a one-act comedy new to New York, Kate
in THE Twelve Pound Look" The reputa-
ton of the latter play preceded the per-
for1nance here by something like eleven
months. Both plays, OF course. are by j. NJ.
Barrie. Miss Lena Ashwell had in London
the part which Miss Ethel Barrymore plays
here In the new piece, part Whlch seems
better fitted 10 the style OF the American
than to that OF the English actress. There
is little that is new TO be said about Alice
Sit-by- the Fire." or about Miss Barrymore
acting in that pleasant play. Doubtless ali
who saw this entertainment five years ago
will wish 10 renew their acquaintance with
#. And every lover Of delicious comedy
will wish TO see "rhe Twelye-Pound Look. -
One of the foremost British dramatists has
called this piece "a little gen. and lit
tie gem it proves TO be. IN some quarters
1t has been thought necessary TO explain
that twelve pounds mean sixty dollars
that or Whereabouts But the chances are
In favor of a preliminary understanding OK
