PULLMAN CAR PLAY
COLUMBIA SUCCESS
EXCUSE Me- Furnishes Plenty
of Laughs During Several
Hours Run.

The serious in the lives of large au-
dience was sidetracked for over two
hours last night at the Columbia Thea
ter while Rupert Hughes Pullman car
carnival spun along at a merry rate with
its cargo of comedians. The farce, "EX-
cuse Me-" is hilarious entertainment,
and the chronic crouch, the timid
maiden lady and the disgruntled tour
ing Londoner vies with the cigar smok-
forget for a time their religious serious
ness, and the almost married couple for
supremacy in the manufacture of laughs.
Excuse Me" is the opening wedge
to conversation in the Pullman car from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, via Reno.
Before the fat and frolicksome Jimmy
Wellington, who admits between drinks
that he is "heartbroken man." reaches
the divorce developing Utah town, the
general atmosphere of the car is recon-
ciliatory, and when two highwaymen
enter the coach, and are thwarted by
the hero, the end of the journey finds
the almost married couple, actually fig
uring in a ceremony and all hands hap
Ply.
Jerry Hart, Walter Fisher, Ed Beg
ley, David Young, and Harry J. Lane
carry the leading male roles. with Mr..
Hart showing unusual cleverness as the
Pullman car porter. Miss George dip
leads the feminine members of the cast,
and left little to be desired unless il be
an absence of more worlds to conquer
Dilworth, and Lillian Cook were other
members of the cast The two scenes of
the play are laid in Pullman car and
are complete as to detail.

COSMOS.

Cosmos audiences were more than
usually large and enthusiastic at the
four performances yesterday afternoon
and last night at what in the judgment
of many is the best bill presented this
season at that house. The Famous
KincaIds lead with a spectacular scenic
presentation of Scotch songs and dances,
with ensembles by twelve lively lads and
lassies from the Highlands of Scotland.
Their act includes beautiful old ballads,
later songs and all the famous dances
Of their native land
The Dancing Colds lead with scenic
presentation of dances of the tango
types, some of them graceful and beau
tiful; Roberts and Roberts give an ex-
hibition Of sleight-Of-ha tricks; Baby
Grace. an infant prodigy OF six, plays
the violin with remarkable skill and ac-
companies her playing with dance steps
that are graceful and difficult She also
sings and tells funny stories like a pro-
fessonal Fiske and McDonough have
novel and laughable sketch, The
Ladies' Interfering Society," with a
startling finale and James A. Dunno
gives clever limitations of fowl, whistles
and other things.
