it was said that the two men in the firm
put in only Sl,O50 in cash Of their own,
the balance being borrowed from the

The popular Biou opened it's doors for
the regular fall and winter season last
Sunday. Chas. Fl. Yale's Newest Devils
Auction" was the attraction and two
large audiences paid compliment to the
excellence of this pantomime spectacle.
It is doubtful if more vociferous applause
was ever heard within the walls than re-
echoed on that occasion. The Bijou
management promised many things in
connection with this seasons production
of the Devils Auction" always in favor
with local theatre goers. The immense
success which favored the production of
"In Old Kentucky" stimulated dramatic
authors to succeed also in this field.
Among the ambitious authors whose
efforts have been crowned with consider
able success, is Al. j. Splnk, editor and
proprietor Of st. Louis Sporting News.

Calm plot but serves as great vehicle
OF the continuance of the very funny sit

entire play. The cast is headed by
| Marie Heath, the little star soubrette who
has won q world of praise by her sheer
force Of national ability, and in her por-
trayal Of the hordenish slip of girl she
cannot be equalled for true delineations,
artistic touch and winsomeness, in fact
she is heralded as the equal of Maggie
Mitchell and Lotta. Other artists which
