York state. The show supplies plenty of
comedy 1nternlngledy with pathos. The
country store and post efi1ce at Newton juno
tion is the opening scene, where the pranks
of the mischievous children are enacted.
The east includes Harry Brown as Hen
s,ae snedeker. me iawyer,sand ail-around poli-
ucian Eugene Ellsworth, as Tom Quack-
enbush, the village postmaster and con-
stable. and Tom Ripley, the town clown,
and A Madge Burt as Susan Jackson, a
waif. Specialties were introduced by Tom
Ripley. little Flo Perry and Master George
Wright. The rainstor1m during the third
act was realistic
BIJOU.-Plaudits and encores of two i'm
mense audiences yesterday stamped sue
cess on every feature, of the Bijeus cur
rent ofering. The merry quips of the
comedian, the jingle ,tingle of the chorus,
or the novelty of vaudeville-all blended to
mofe the bill into the Bijou seasons best. AT
the head of an olio no one feature of which
Is easily overshadowed, are Montgomery and
stone, leaders In their original line of en-
tertalnment These black-face artists have
peen seen here on several occasions, but
their clever acrobatic dances have gained
rather than lost in potency to bring down
the house. Lynch and Jewel contribute a
sketch OF merit, in which the former pre-
sehted decided novelty in terpsichorean
way. Dave Lewis takes occasion to scatter
his funny dialect over fifteen minutes of
nlcEolosue on love and politics. Another
good comedy turn is that of the Leslies,
VINO deliver bunch of nonsense in their
own fashion. Mazuz and Mazett, as tramp
and brakeman, are acrobats of novel meth
od. The Cineograph rings the curtain on
the olio. The Bijou Stock Company, inn
proved with each week opens the bill with
a musical hodge-podge entitled "Oh,
Fudge in which Dave Lewis and John
Grieves have collaborate in book and lyric.
The comedy, in which Lewis plays the
heavies, is of decidedly Weberfieldian fla
vor, while the stage pictures of the we'll
trained dancing chorus reflect no little
credit on Director Grieves Nellie Nichols,
Susie Rocamora, Miss Page, Matt Ken
nedy, John Rodgers, Lou Harvey and other
favorites are able principals The whole
thing goes with snap and vim. Every after
noon and evening, with Stone and Mont
sCmery changing to their new pale-face
turn Thursday matinee and continuing the
last half of the week. Election returns will
be read al frequent intervals from the Bijou
stage tonight.
KERNANS LYCEUM-Rice and Bar
TONS big Gaiety Spectacular Extrava-
ganza Company entertained the patrons
OF hernan's yesterday afternoon and hight
with songs and jokes, dances and stage
pictures. Some of the songs were reminis-
cent, some of the jokes had been told be-
fore, but that which was old was well
done and there was enough new material
to hold attention and elicit laughter and
applause The opening piece. farcical
sketch, presents the whole troupe. The
title of the farce is Brown Among the
DalSies, ana the story is the familiar one
Of marital deception and retribution. i. x.
Mullan and Charles Barton enact the lead
ing comedy roles. There are the usual May
dances and hosiery shows. In the olio, Eek
hor and Gordon, the musical laugh
makers give a turn that goes the Esh-
er sisters sing and dance; Lloyd and Wal
tone sing baritone soldier songs and Idylla
May Vyner seeks favor by singing coon
songs. Rice and Elmer present their hori-
zontal bar act, "A Rubes Trip to China
town., and Miles and Raymond offer their
baby-in-the-cradle act. The after piece
''The Tenderloin,' is warranted by the man
agement to drive away the blues.
