+" Excuse Me-"

S. T. King is offering the Rupert
Hughes farce, Excuse Me-" at the
Grand Opera House, Monday, March II.
Excuse Me- is farce among farces.
1t strikes out from the beaten track and
is full of true humor. 1t is a laugh and
it is remarkable for its novel and ludi-
crous situations, its diverting characters,
its unusually amusing dialogue. Any
effort 10 recite the incidents Of so crowd
ed and amusing piece must be hopeless.
Mr.. Hughes has missed no chance 10
make fun. His characters have reality
in them, and his play moves quickly he
has wrung every drop of humor out of
railway travel. he displays truly amaz
ing ingenuity and resourcefuiness. That
Excuse Me" is rare entertainment is
proven by its success. New York showed
tumultuous delight at this farce that
sets forth the adventures of Pullman Car
passengers on trip across the CONT
nent. "Excure Me" is journey by rail
from Chicago to Reno. Much of its hu.
NOR lies in its probability. The author
has devised series Of screamingly funny
incidents that might actually occur 10
any train load of passengers, and his
characters are as true 10 life as if they
had really stepped up to the ticket win
dow and purchased transportation to
Reno. The various characters work out
the different stories that unite in high
ly interesting and amusing comedy, with
lively action and up-todate light 70
nance and adventures. a play that
runs nine months in New York must be
well acted, so theirs is no doubt as TO the
calibre of the company that will be seen
in Excuse Me-" The local public
should consider the quality of this offer
ing. 1t is the biggest laugh hit of the
time, genuine Broadway success.
In point of cast and production, "Ex
cuse Me- excels anything of comic
offering now before the public. In the
leading role, is Mr. Willis p. Sweat.
man as the Pullman porter, character
by him and played by Mr.. Sweatman
over one thousand times. He is sur
rounded by as clever aggregation of
players as ever stepped on local stage.
