IN and AROUND THE CITY

For the coming week and commencing
with tomorrow matinee performances,
the Brothers Byrne, the recognized lead
ers of pantomimic comedy in this coun-
try, will give their entirely new panto-
mimic comedy, Going to the Races" at
the Bijou Theater. This production is
entirely new, and is In class that
stands alone. There are no similar per-
formances in this country. The piece
throughout savors of new things that
have never before been presented to the
public. The Byrne Brothers are artists
of a high standard, excelling as panto-
mists, and as aerobats are unexcelled.
Nothing in the acrobatic line is too diff
cult for them, and the ease with which
they accomplish the most difficult feats
is marvellous to behold. They are suf-
f1cient in themselves for a show, but
wisely allow others who have claims to
recognition to help in the merrymaking
They have an inexhaustible fund of
novelties in the way Of stage parapher-

is no limit to trick scenery.
