Opening of the Ri JOu'S Regular
Season With ''The Stowaway."
The regular fall and winter season
will be opened at the Bijou tonight
with a grand production Of the reigning
success, 1.-THE Stowaway." The play is
being staged this year in more mag
niticent manner than ever before, out
rivalIng all previous efforts. One of the
great scenic effects is that OF a full
rugged yacht at sea. 1t is a real novelty
in its way, and is pronounced by press
and public master piece of stage real
ism. Sails. mastS and rigging are per-
feet in every particular. AS the cur
tain rises sails will be furled, the
boat anchored in as perfect a man
ner as though the vessel were tossing
on the stormy pillows of the ocean, and
then the action of an entire act will oc-
cur on the steamers deck. 1t IS a won
derful scene, and never fails TO call
great feature will be on exhibition of
safe-cracking by the noted eX-burglars,
Spike" Hennessy and kid" Mccoy.
This will be done in full view of the
audience, and is intensely exciting, at
the same time giving all an opportunity
of seeing how safe crackSmen do their
work. who rob and plumber in midnight
hours. Following "The Stowaway'' at
the Bijou, Nj. B. Curtis, who achieved
renown some years ago as "Sam'l OF
Posten," will present his new play,
1.-The Satchen" (the marriage broker),
for one week.
The Grand Opera.
The most recent farce comedy from
the pen of Ii. Grattan Donnelly is "a
Pair of Jacks" and its first preSenta-
ton here will be made at the Grand dur
ing the current week. Both Natural
Gas" and Later On" have received
liberal share OF public approval during
their productions here, and it is claimed
that "a Pair of Jacks" is scarcely, If
at all, second to them in the qualities
of fun and speciality work. "a Pair of
Jackes" has for its central idea, the
placing in juxtaposition of two charact-
ers So nearly similar in appearance and
dress as to be continually mistaken for
one another. 1t is modernized yers-
ion of the idea of the two Dromios.
Judge Jack and Doctor Jack are sep
arately summoned to Prof. Queer's SEM
mary.
for young ladies. Each is in ignorance
of the others presence there, and, as
each one is continually mistaken for the
other by the other by the inmates of
the seminary, many laughable compli-
cations arise. The company includes
well-known people. K. G. Knowles,
who has the part of Judge Jack, was
formerlya comedian at Augustin Days
| theater, in New York. The hit he has
made in the part of Judge Jack has
placed him in the front ranks of farce
comedy actors. His speciality work is
novel and original. Al Filson has the
part of Doctor Jack, and is comedian
| of acknowledged ability. Miss Jennie
| Satterlee, the popular Coincidence, is a
member of the company, as are Miss
Winifred Johnson, the best of all lady
banjoists; Miss Nina Hayward, Miss
Lee Enrol, Miss Belle NUM-, Harry G.
| Stanley Qast season the Stranger in "a
| Hole in the Ground''), John ?. Savage,
! Will Armstrong and others. The en-
gagement at the Grand is for five nights,
| beginning with performance on the
evening of Labor day.
