THE WEEKS ADJUSTMENTS.

Daughter''-"A You Like 1t"
Will Run Another Week.

Will Run Another Week.
AT the Bijou-Fhe stock company at
the BljOa still continues to draw large
houses and the management are highly
satisfied. Commencing tonight, Jacob
Lifts players will present for an en-
gGgement of a week, with the usual
matinees, Bronson Towards celebrated
play The Bankers Daughter" The
play is among the early productions of
this popular writer, yet is generally con-
ceded TO be one of his most able efforts,
Its first presentation was given at the
Union Square theater, New York,
under the management of Shook Il Pal
mer. The piece enjoyed an extended
run at this theater and was also most
successful in road season of the play.
The piece was well received through
out the country, scoring one of the big
gest hits of the season. The plot is strong
and well defined, the story of the play
most interesting, and the scenes and
climaXeS powerful and exciting. The
duel scene in the play presents most
viVidly realistic and intensely interest
ing picture, as does the salon scene of
the American legation In Paris. There
is no lack of interest in the play. The
dialogue is bright and pleasing. Comedy
is furnished in the person of Washing
ton Phipps, character intended as
mild satire on the way the average
American docs" Europe. Manager Lift
has spared no expense to stage the pro-
ductiOn in a most complete manner, and
wealth of new and special scenery
will be introduced.
At Lake Harriet-There is nothing
like novelty, with an admixture of
merit, for catching the patrons of
amusements. The patronage enjoyed
for the past week by the sylvan pro-
duction of LAS You Like IT. at Lake
Harriet is the proof. Large audiences
have ruled. The best people in Mime
apolis-the society people, the repre-
sentativeS of culture and refinement
have been in the majority at every per-
Torrance. One of the first places to
which the society ladies of Minneapolis
took the wives of the visiting MasonS
was to Lake Harriet to see ''As You
Like It." Shakespeare never wrote
anything nearer the heart of nature
than las You Like It." Produced in the
heart of nature, the play is irresistible.
Too much credit cannot be given the
members of the company for the man.
mer in which they have handled their
roles. In the first place, they had to
overcome the difficulties incident to
speaking in the open air, not by any
means inconsiderable diffiulties. Yet
they have been overcome. The COM
pany is giving finished, even perform
ance OF las You Like It," much better
that loudly-heralded company headed
by a star whose name goes upon the bill
boards in six-foot letters.
And the Minneapolis public has ap-
preciated the good qualities of the per-
Torrance. The management has de-
cided to continue the play for another
week. 1t will be seen under more
advantageous circumstances. Every
performance shows improvement. The
choral feature of the entertainment has
been strengthened by the increase of
the number of singers and by the selec-
ton of better voices. The street rail-
way company will have cars enough in
waiting at the close of each performance
to bring everybody back to the city.
