COLUMBIA.

Fact or fiction seldom offers more
farcical situations than are embodied
in Rupert Hughes comedy success
Excuse Me-" which will be offered al
the Columbia Theater for the week
commencing next Monday, and with
the usual Thursday and Saturday matt
nees. -
Excuse Me" is a play scintillatins
with bright lines, and laughs come with
& frequency that is remarkable. There
is also an interesting plot to this farce
Excuse Me- is a satire on the di-
vorce laws Of Nevada. The action takes
place in a Pullman car en- route from
Chicago to Reno. On board are sey'
eral would-be divorced persons, a near
welded couple, and another couple who
meet after years of separation, renew
their love vows, and marry on the train
The three acts are pHnctuated with
meI4iment. and the humor is bright
breezy. and refreshing.
Ed Begley as the bibulous Jimmy
Wellington and Jerry Hart as the Pull
man porter have possibly the most op
portunities. Mr.. Hart as the porter adds
to the fun and frolic of the play.

BELASCO.

Running at full speed. THE Honey
moon Express" laden with clever en-
tertainers including Al JoIson, will ar
rive in this city next Monday for a
stay of a week at the Belasco Theater.
The scenes. of which there are six, and
the costumes are said to be more elab-
orate than the Winter Garden has
heretofore turned out. Standing ont
from a score of interesting features is
a melodramatic touch which is unusual
for a musical production. This is a
race between a railroad train and an
automobile from the summit of a
range of mountains to a railway juno
zion in the center of the stage. The
incident is cleverly woven into the plot
of the play.
The chorus, il is claimed, is one Of the
prettiest ever seen in Winter Garden
production, and was selected by New
Wayburn, who is responsible for the
staging of THE Honeymoon Express -
except the train effect. which is the in
Vention of Thurston, the magician. The
book and lyrics are by Joseph W. Her
bert and Harold Atteridge. Incor-
porated in the play is an Egyptian
ballet staged by Theodore Koslaff and
with special music.
