AT the Biiou.

Vaudeville Will bc the Offering at the
Rijou this week, and Manager Wells has.
arranged a programme that will be most
acceptable and furnish q. delightful en-
tertairment foS-the theaire-soers OF Rich
rnond. As rule the bills; at this popu-
lsr place of amusement have been COM
posed of a variety of acts and this week
an exception 10 the rule is TO be made
in the sense that there will b a number OF
the best comedy musical. and novelty
acts. but acts that in no sense conflict
There will be musical acts, but each OF Il
different department; there will be come
dy ideas. but each different. and there
will be different kinds OF novelty NUM-
bers
The Plumbers making up the offering
were selected not because some of them
are classed high in The directory Of head
liners, but because of real merit. The
acts have q. high standing in the estinla-
ton OF the managers Of the best vaude-
s7ille playhouses. and there is not tho
least doubt in the mind of those who
know the ability of the artists that the
Dill will prove TO be one OF the NEST sue
cessful yet presented at the theatre.
Crawford and Stanley Will present one
OF the feature numbers of the bill. This
is considered TO be one Of the best comedy
acts in the profession. 1t is different
from The usual run and it is one that
will appeal 10 the fancy of every thea
tre-goer. Crawford is a clever character
comedian, and his partner is one OF the
best and ncatcst dancers III the starr
