world over and it would be hard to find
an attraction that is said to give so many
pleasing features and such breezy OPEN

New Bijou next week, spoken of in The

the talented artists, and each act is so
entirely different from the other that to-

cannot easily be improved upon. Minnie
Cline, a pleasing soubrette with winning
ways. shines brightly in the clio. Miss Ca
mile Leroy Stafford is said to be a queen
OF burlesque, who never fails to please:
such funny comedians as Hastings and
Wright add comedy as it is seldom seen
in burlcsGue. There is nothing omitted

COMING TO THE THEATRES.
The acknowledgements Holiness"

William Gillette's seat sale opens at the
box Office of the National Theatre at 8
o'clock this morning. and there will I'M
dountedly be lively competition between
those anxious to secure good places.
Sherlock Holiness when it opened in
New York last year, proved to be a
thorough surprise in stage realism. The
popularity of the play became immediate
and it remains without doubt one of the
most successful plays produced in long
time
Founded on the entertaining stories
written by Or. A. Conan Doyle, Mr.. Gill
lette has written drama which has been
declared to be beyond question the great
est masterpiece thai the author of Sec
ret Service" and Held by the Enemy has
ever produced He has taken that great
master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes"
and incarnated him to the physical eye,
in. it is said, most pleasing manner.
This will be Mr.. Gillettes last engage
ment in this city for a long time, as he
plays but limited season in America
and opens early in the spring at Sir Henry
Irving's Lyceum Theatre, London. for an
extended run. The engagement here is
for one week. with matinee on Saturday
only, and something decidedly unique in
the way of stage realism is promised.
