Last evening the first note OF the orches-
ira for the theatrical season of 1928
echoed through the Bi jou Theater Dock
stader's minstrels was the attraction, and the
merry joke went hurtling over the
anG wait for their turn to please the audi
ence. There has been the usual summer
renovation at most of the playhouses in
the city, but it is safe to say that the
changes in the Bijou are much greater this
year than in any other Pittsburg theater.
Changes at the b jou Theater.
S12, 900 in the Bijou Theater this summer,
and it is very easy to believe him when one
looks over the interior and sees the impro We
ments that have been made. The tone of
the house is very light, white and gold pre-
vailing everywhere, from the street to the
curtain line. The lobby has been retiled,
the walls covered With new lincrusta Wal
ton, in white and gold, and 200 extra in
candescent lights have been put in. The
lobby, like the rest of the interior, is q
blaze of light when the current is on full.
In the auditorium and foyer new carpets of
old gold have been laid, the soft brussels
dead ening every sound of feet, SO that
there will be no annoyance from late-comers
to those already seated.

prises most of the latest successes of the
theatrical world, besides number of new

New Drop Curtain Put In.
Men have been working night and day
getting the theater ready for the opening
tomorrow night, and it is with consider
able satisfaction that Manager Gulick sees
everything ready for the reception of the
audience. When the pretty theater is
thrown open to the public it is confidently
expected that the expressions of amazem ent
as we'll as satisfaction will be general.
Never since the Bijou Theater was evolved
