ADJUSTMENTS.

The Bijou was filed to overfowing last
night and "a Milk White Flag" carried
off the honprs of the season The audi
ence was generally enthusiastic, and the
gallery was extremely vociferous. Otis
Harlan did as good work as he has ever
done here as Piggot Luce. He was very
funny and at the same time presented q
consistent character sketch. John w.
Dunno repeated his excellent perform
ance of the Colonel. 1t is probably the
character most fitted to his personality,
and one that has been elaborated with
great care. Whenever Little Chip appear
ed you would have thought that betiam
had broke loose. Tony Hart was excel
lent as the bandmaster, and Dan Marble
showed much ability in character work
as Phil Graves. David Andrads, Andrew
Bode and John w Early were good IN
their respective parts. Mary Marble was,
of course, inini1able as the orphan. and
Agnes Rose Lane was as coInely and az
tractive a widow as one could WISH TO
see Eva Burnham danced charmingly;
Florence Mcneil sang delightfully."-, and
but what's the Use. A tremendous hit was
made, and a splendid success was scored.
