vile.
The bill at tic Bijou this week differs
from that of last week, in that the bill
now running is a good one. Indeed, it Is
one of the best ever presented by the
mana cement of that popular playhouse.
There is not q dull moment during the
entire bill Every one OF the eight num-
bers is above the average, and it would
be hard indeed to pick out the head-liner.
Press Eldrdge, the same old Press.
but with none of the same old Jokes, cap.
turetl the audience as is his wont. and he
held them captive until he made his final
exit from the stage. Even then the audi
ence was 10th to be freed from the spell
witch he had thrown around them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew were also
popular with the audience. They pre-
scented their London success. When Two
Hearts are Won and while Sidney was
engaged in winning his wifeis affections
in d most amusing fashion, they both won
! the unstinted applause of their audience.
They are old favorites here, and in their
sl5tt undoubtedly have a winner.
While Eldridge and the Drews were
great favorites they were forced to divide
honors with Henry Lee. the impersonator.

their voices.
The curtain raiser was Heckter and
Lester. comedy bcyclists and their aes
in other weeks might have been head
lined, so exceedingly clever are they. They
are quite the best trick cyclists ever seen
here, and some startling gymnastics were
introduced.
Weston, Greve and Stoats. the three
musical kings gave some highly delecta-
bic music and interspersed it with light
comedy, which was amusing:
Miss Bertha Darel, the Gilroy boys and
Willie Thorn presented a musicaletta en-
titled the automobile Girl which, while
it depended largely upon the spectacular
effect OF the scenery. was ENJOYABLE IN
that some clever singing and dancing was
introduced by Miss Darrell
