same as has been seen in Washington in
previous years and although the bill does
not include the names of either Johnny

respects entirely capable of presenting a
Grst-class entertainment in which the
comedy element is boisteTOus and infec-

Bijou is well worth seeing.

songs OF the sentimental and descriptive
