EXCUSE Me-"

There was an cXccss-yes, that's
uuite the correct word-of enthusiasm
at the Columbia last night. Everybody
was giggling Excuse me" following
the FIRST performance Of the return
engagement of Rupert Hughes farce OF
that name. Many in the audience had

There were many old friends in the
cast-seven-and the fun was full

The story. which is only one OF many
similar in those times, has to do with
the love of a sweet Southern girl for

and did much to make the play run
smoothly. Izetta Jewel as Barbara
Frietchie presented an excellent charac-
terization. A familiar face was seen in
the cast, that of John Ellis, who was once
with the Columbia Players, and who last
might took the part of DR.. Hal Boyd.
The performance was undoubtedly one
of the most complete seen at Polls for
some weeks, and the work was appre-
ciated by the large audience that filed
the house.
Quite an innovation was introduced be-
tween the first and second acts, when
Miss Agnes whelan sang "Ill Be SOL

GAYET.
"GirIs From HappyIand."

Billy W. Watson, the funny little
Dutchman with the funny little slide. and
his Girls From Happyland," opened
their weeks engagement at the Gayety
yesterday and were greeted by two ca
pacity houses. Standing room was at a
premium. and if applause can be taken
as a criterion the standing-room-o only
sign will be in daily use.
The performance is a two-act burletta-

their titles. The second act is called
The Gay Modiste' and is staged in
three scenes. Scene l is in the froyer

in IL is introduced several songs of the
whistling variety. Nellie Watson, sing
ing What a Fool I'd Be-" made the real
hit of the show. She vas forced to re-
spond TO no less than a dozen encores.
Messrs. Akin. Figg, and Duffy also won
instant popularity with their clever rag
time singing.
OF course, first honors go to Billy Wat
son. He is the same inimitable comedian
of former years and, if anything. is fun
nier than ever. He kept the house in a
constant uproar with his slide and whis-
tie. He is ably supported by Thomas A.

ton. Edward Akin made an excellent
black-face comedian, and his dancing won
the hearts OF the gallery gods.
The feminine part of the cast is eX-
tremely good. Dolly Fields won favor as
A dashing soubrette, and Nellie Watson
and Ida Dayton, billed as the Delight
Sisters, by, their clever work proved that
they had not been misnamed. Florence
Belmont made a statuesque figure as the
queen Of a stranded burlesque troupe.
The show is well staged and costumed.
The chorus is kept busy making numer-
Gus changes and is yfar the best-look-
ing and best drilled that has been here
this season. 1t Is full of"life, and to il
belongs much of the credit for the sue
cess of the performance. The entire
entertainment is far above the average
burlesque show and reflects credit on the
popular playhouse.

Still there is one very important and
essential part of the bill-nameIy, that
the government must control the cur

costs.
Bankers may protest. but they have
no more right TO control currency than
the old-time manufacturer had a right

Mr.. Barry's appearance is the signal for

Gentlemen: Thinking that perhaps a
short history of the remarkable recovery
of my mother-in-law MRS. Anna COVERT
might benefit some other sufferers,
give the following testimonial: About
September 10, 1908, she was taken sick
with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and contin-
ually grew worse, requiring trained
nurse. Night Sweats were so bad that
1t was necessary to change her clothing
once or twice every night; her cough in
creased and got so bad that everybody
expected that she would not live much
longer. In January, when Rev. Wm.
Berg. of St Michaefs Church, at Shere-
VILE Ind, prepared for her death, she
terative, and see If it would not give
her some relief. | then requested the at
tending physician to give his diagno-
sis and he informed me that she had
Consumption and was beyond all medical
aid. When | asked if he thought that ii
was useless to try the Alternative, he re-
piled that No physician could help her
any and | could suit myself about it..
So I Immediately had Rev. VIM. Berg to
send for a bottle. Practically without
hope for recovery, ! insisted that she try
the Alternative. which she did. / am glad
to say that she soon began to improve.
Now, she works as hard as ever, weighs
twenty pounds heavier than she ever did
before she took sick, and is in good
health. She frankly SAYS she owes her
