Water la supplied from . the Hassayampa rive- In ample quanti ties. i tfflcea of the company are maintained at 1'tnver and Phoenix. around, and revives In them a belief In the aanlty of the men and women of the race, not alone In that they can laugh, but also that they may think. A lot of folderol Is cleverly pilloried by Macknye. and Jut a clevprly held up by Ml Croa man for the rest of us to laugh at. 'And. If the star, the company and the play are pro.erly appreciated In Omaha the Bran dels theater will be crowded during the rest of the engagement. A young man returna from Kurope. brlnu Ing with htm hla wife and baby, and goes for a visit to hla brother, a staid minister, living In the suburbs of a Massachusetts city, who Is married to an elder stater of the younger brother's wife.' To the con sternation of the home folks, which circle Includes the mother of the brothers, the returned couple announce they are not married, pronounce In favor of free love, and prate In grandiloquent phrases of emancipation, the superman, the over-soul, and a lot of eindlar twaddle, and aet about to convert the others. And the elder sister devises a plan to bring the young folks to their senses, which Is simply to make them see the absurdity of their position. She does this by pretending to fall In with their views. The cure Is aa complete as the method Is effective. The play Is .written In an unusually clever vein, abounding with the most lnolslve of witty satire, wltD humor that la' pungent and crisp and never broad, and with fun that Is simply ex quisite. And the company Is in every way the best that has yet played at the Bran- del. Miss Crosman easily holds her place as flret of America's comedy actors among women. In many ways she Is unapproach able. Principally Is this so In that she unites peculiar qualities of mind In a way. that provldea just the essentials for correct comedy Interpretation. Her wit It keen, her humor Is warm and kindly, and her analytical faculties sufficiently acute to give her a comprehensive understanding and the capacity for Intelligent expression. Those of ua who laughed with her as "Madame Pons Gene," who romped with her as Rosalind, and again as Viola, who shouted with glee when Mistress Nell Owynne screamed "Tea can all go to hell 1" and sprang through the window; who fol lowed her through her struggles In "Bhani," and who have otherwise been entertained by her In countless ways dur ing her brilliant career on the American stage, are glad to note that experience only adds a richer color to her humor, a more human warmth to her capacity for fun, and that her genius la coming to Its fullest expression In a most kindly element. Miss Crosman more than deserves the thanks of all, for In her philosophy of fun she Is giving a weary world what it most needs, occasion for rational laughter with Just a modicum of common sense thought. Mr. Nowell Is a newcomer to Omaha, but he shows himself to be well chosen for his work; he Is gifted with an excellent sense of perspective, and his acting la a splendid foil for the star. Mlaa Wheeler la a young woman who will be heard from, If her present effort la to be taken aa a measure of her capacity.

The four possess voices of an astonishing range and manage to make them harmonize to a nicety. They were rewarded with repeated encores. Barrett and Earle have a skit In which the former does some excellent whistling, and the latter a remarkably realistic Im personation of a doll. Tom Haverly and Cortnne Wells manage some Jixkes In rapid fire repartee that are good. Buch brothers are alap-sttck comedians and tumblers who sprinkle their act plentifully with hue. lesque.

Israel ZangwIU a "Merely Mary Ann," well-staged and well-played, ' received the enthusiastic endorsement of large audi ences at the Boyd yesterday. The atory ia an appealing one, for, although common place enough In setting and plot, it has great beauty In the telling.

They fall In love with each other, neither knowing It, the girl blinded by Innocence and the man by pride. The aervant girl inherits fortune. The man, through his pride, forces their separation. Years later hla Ideaia come true; they meet again, this time on common ground, and the old pas sion returns. That la all. These two characters nearly monopolise the ataxe.
