RETURNS
Will Be the Attraction at the
Bijou Next Week.
THE OPENING POSTPONED
Manager Wells Deferred the Big Sum
mer Event In Face Of Street-Car
Strike that Seemed TO Be
Impending.

Manager Wells and Manager Ginen
have arranged to spring surprise on
the playgoers OF Richmond next week.
Both have been very reticent as to the
attractions that will be seen in the two
theatres.
Mr.. Gifen did vouchsafe the informa-
ton the other day that his dramatic
stock company at the Academy would
be Heen In n very elaborate production
OF "Davy Crockett" and the announce
ment sent n steady stream of purchaser g
to the box-ofiice. Manager Wells has been
studiously quiet on the other hand. and
there have been rumors of great prepara-
lions at the Casino. These preparations
are a settled fact. and they arc on a
very large scale. but tho opening Is not
yet.
Last night Manager Wells decided that
1t would be flying In the face of provt-
dcnce to open the Casino In the teeth
OF promised street car strike. and so
and the attraction will be "M'selle
'Awklns." presented by tho Gfren Must.
cal Comedy Company.
This organization was seen here earlier
In the season, and has since been play.
Ing to capacity audiences In the southern
theatres OF the Wells circuit. It's return
will be cordially welcomed. The organlza-
ton Is practically the Same as wnen 1t
was seen here earlier In the season, but
the production OF the "M'sellc .Awkins"
Is something entirely now and decidedly
alluring
'.Under the Red Robe Is attracting
crowded houses at the Academy Business
has steadily Increased to the capacity
point, and tho performance is as COM
mendable as possible. 1t is remarkable
what differences OF opinion exist as to
the merits OF the play and the perform
ance One old theatre-goer declared that
the company Is doing magnificent work,
quite the best In Its career, In fact, but
that the play Is not good. Whether this
is 30 or not. the audiences are larger
than they have ever been In the history
of the Citizen Company In any season. and
enthusiasm Is unbounded. 1t Is a pretty
play at any rate. and 1t Is prettily and
most effectively staged. There has been
great run on the box-ofIlce for the
matinee tomorrow, but that was to be
expected as the piece Is pre-cminently q
matinee card.
1.-THE Little Minister and Lady Bnbbie
continue to make friends at the Bijou.
The pretty play Is praised by everyone
who sees 1t. II you have not seen 1t, then
1t Is worth while to make haste to do 30,
and II you have seen 1t. then II Ia still
worth while to see Miss Taylor as Lady
Babbe Her work Is exceptionally clevr.
and there are those who declare that her
portrayal OF this charming character
leaves nothing to be desired The usual
performance will be given tonight and
there will be matinee and night perform

MAY BE A THREE
CORNERED RAGE
Probability of a Big Battle
for Mayor Next
Year.

Indications are beginning to point
strongly TO great race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor next year.
and It would cause no surprise should
the battle be three-cornered one.
His Honor. Mayor Taylor. will almost
surely stand again. and there is much
talk concerning tho probable candidacy
OF City Accountant Carlton Mccarthy and
Councilman w A. Crenshaw, OF Clxy
Ward.
Mr.. Crenshaw, while looked upon as q
strong probability, will not say he Will
or will not be In tho race While the
position Of Captain Mccarthy is quite
similar. Richmond people can never for
get the campaign made by Captain Nc
Carthy against Mayor Taylor last year.
and the plucky little city officer says if
he shall go In he will mako things lively
again.
Mr.. Crenshaw Is popular with the busi-
mess people and is making a fine record
in the Council.
The friends OF Mayor Taylor-and their
name Is legion-are claiming that he has
lost none OF his old time vlgor as q cam
paigner, and that he still maintains his
hold upon the rank and file.
