B1JoU COMEDY CONAN

I Beginning tomorrow night Ricfmo 4
1 will have another opportunity Of seeing
the greatest favorites of them all. the
/ Biiou Comedy Company, headed By the
tnlmitable Otis Harlan. and with John
| w. Dunno. Mary Marble, Little Chip,
Tony Hart, . and the other popular ones
| eli the company. The Offering will be
that merry faroe. "a Stranger in q
| Strange Land by the authors Of the
comedy which drew such large crowds
| to the Bijou the week just finished but
| this new piece is much better in every
| way. In fact. It is the masterpiece OF
| those two clever writer's Of comedy, Sid
ney Wilmer and Walter Vincent.
Under the stage direction OF Mr. Har-
Ian, and with the added musical num-
bers from the facile pen Of Mr.. Max
Hoffman who, despite ali rumors to tn.
contrary, is still with the company. this
comedy has reached a point of excellence
which will surpass that Of the original
production in New York city. In its must
cal form the play is more attractive than
it was at the time it had such q long
run at the Manhattan Theatre in New
York city, and the chorus and the new
effects will all be up to date and pleas
ing. In Norfolk, where the popularity
OF this company is second only to the
popularity here, the new piece has been
the best the stage Of the Granny has
ever seen.
AS for Individual parts. it is stated that
Mr.. Harlan and Little Chip are seen at
their very best in "a Stranger in a
Strange Land. In fact it has been
stated that nothing Mr.. Harlan has done
since the famous crea ton of Hot Stuff
will compare with his work in this new
piece-neW at least to residents OF this
city This farce tells of the troubles and
compiled tons which beset an American
fakir who goes to London with real
Indian to help him. Little Chip will be
seen as the fakir, possibly the most i'm
portant part he has ever been seen in
here, and Andrew Bode. the excellent
character actor Of the show, appears as
the real Indian. Meanwhile. however,
there come two alleged Indians who get
tangled UP in the course of events. with
the result that the laughter is loud and
con tinuous
Miss Agnes Scott, Pearl Tormie, Flor
ence MCNEIL, and the other ladies of the
company have better parts in this piece
than they have had heretofore, and the
new clloruses and individual songs by
Max Hoffman are said to be the best he
has ever written Spscialties are intro
duced, world without end. ana altogether
+he costuning is magnificent. On the
bare announcement of the return of this
popular organization to Richmond thsre
has been an enormous demand for seats. |
and this demand extends over many days
OF the performance. Certain it is that
the new production will be cordially wei
coined here. The success of the players |
and the success Of the play which they
will present will guarantee a laughing |
show from curtain rise to curtain fall, !
and this IS apparently what the Bijou pat |
rons want.

the organization can do in comedy is al

popular than any that Mr.. Giffen has

The Detroit Free Press said Of this pro-
ductton in q recent issue:

ductton In recent issue:
"a peculiar cowboy and an exceptions
lady mana ged to keep g crowded
audience at the Lyceum Theatre thrilled
last night. by RENAL lsable series OF
actions. which led, of course, to only one
result.
Both the Cowboy and the Lady are
most unconventional characters. and the
things that they are required to do make
real the melodramatic stage.
1.-THE cowboy is a graduate of Harvard.
and the boss" of the ranch. in love With
the lady, but doesn't dare tell her. Just
like q Harvard graduate. of course.
"Ali the troubles of the two would be
great less exciting were it not for Quick
Foot Indian Jim, who is jealous of the
keeper Of dance hall, and shoots the
lady's husband. with the lady's reyolve>,
which she had previously given to the
cowboy, and which lAe cowboy had care
lessly laid aside.
This little act Of the Indians gets
everybody in trouble, of course. and the
last act is a strong court scene, in which
the lady tells. under oath, that she loves
the cowboy, and by so doing secures 4
verdict Of guilty against him. Then the
Indians sweetheart confesses and every
body forgets about the verdict, in the JOY
Of the hero being free.
'Tlle whole play is really exciting and
thrilling. Clyde Fitch. who wrote it, IS

This very nearly did for Frances;
for it was at Garrards' that the Colo

seemed to give a coloring to Mr.. Meth

The young lady drew herself up,
proudly secure, in her rank.
Il am Lady Frances Chenevix" and
the other bowed and turned to the re-
freshment table.
Away went Lady Frances to find the
Cadogans, and inquire after the
stranger.

other a barrel which might have con-

each were big men with bright brass
helmets. They galloped up the Newski

It is only half-rate people who ig-
