shell and introduces a little bit of

THE WEEKS BILL At THE BIJOU.
1t is Good. Though Not as Clever as
Some That Have Gone Before.

The bill at the Bijou last night was not
as strong as some that have preceded it,
but it appeared to please the audience,
which was good-natured, though by rea-
son of the weather, the smallest that has
yet been in attendance on a Monday
night. The Willett and Thorne farceurs
were easily the hit Of the bill, and while
the sketch they did has been worn thread
bare, and been used since almost the
earliest recollections of the Oldest theatre
goers, yet the clever quartette worked IL
out in brand-new dress, and made ii
rousing success. Al. Stern contributed the
most artistic number on the programme,
though he might well omit his little mono
logue, which precedes his limitations of
famous actors of to-day. The Tanakas
performed some clever feats in magic,
with a prettily dressed stage. The top
spinning Of Tanaka was an excellent
piece of work. Rosaire, on the slack wire
received a large share of applause for her
performances, and il was well merited.
Keno and WEIGH black-face knockabouts,
were enthusiastically received. Charles
Diamond and Mlle Beatrice, in their mu-
steal act, were only fair, while the Holds
worths and Maude Mcintyre were really
the weakest members on the bill The
latter. however is not altogether bad, and
q portion of her act went very well. the
Brahems (Holdsworths) present some very
pretty pictures in their illustrated songs,
but the voice of the singer was not good.
AS a whole however, the bill gave salts
faction, and the audience left pleased
with the performance. The stage was
well managed by Messrs. Win II. Colmer
and George Hickman, who succeed Fred
Ward. Mr.. j. W. Davidson is also the
new musical director.
