 ....................M Miss Molly Braoy s'The Liars'' as presented by the George Fawcett Stock company at the Bijou last night is one of the best com etfies that has been witnessed here this season. A large audience enjoyed the performance, which was excellent in ev- cry respect. The company is well balanc- ed and contains a lot of clever actors-ln fact there is not weak spot in It. It is fully up to the standard of the pest troupes which have played in Briming- ham at high prices and those who im- aetne that because popular prices prevail
 At,o oI,o a not a good one are making a mistake.
 '"The Liars is a bright society meio- drama in which a pretty woman does something indscreet and her friends agree to '1ie her out of It." So many lies are told that a mess is made of the matter just as if there had been too many cooks, and finally the truth is told which everyone realizes would have been the best at the start.
 Frank Gilmore as Sir Christopher Deer ing fills the leading role in manner which leaves nothing to be desired, while Grace KimbaIl in the role of Lady Jes- sica is graceful and natural. Miss Kim ball is well known on the stage and favorite wherever she goes.
 As a third star Mir Jennings in the
 
 part of Falkner was admirable. It Is difficult to play the role of stage lover without being either trite or ridiculous, but MT. Jennings manages to do it. and deserved all the applause he received. His is the part of lover who is in love and is not ashamed to admit it.
 A pleasing feature of the performance is that all the women are good-looking. and while this, perhaps, is not proper standard by which to judge an actress, it certainly counts. Merton Ten Eyeck as Dolly Coke, is also 4te original Gibson girl and looks 1t. She is q capable actress and made as much ou. of her role as was possible. Laura McGilvray as Lady Ros- amond, displayed much talent. The oth- | CT women were good as were all of the men. Among the latter may be mentioned | Charles B. Hawkins as Archibald Coke and Lloyd B. Carleton as Freddie Tatton, both of whom kept the audience in roars of laughter.
 "The Liars'' will be the bill today. both matinee and night and tomorrow night, after which for the rest of the week Camille will be presented.
