manager of the Southern Pacific pool, is
sued statement to-day which contained
the following:
Either there is a mistaken idea re-
garding the position taken by the minor
ity stockholders of the Southern Pacific
company or a determined effort is being
made to cloud the issue and distort the
facts. The efforts of the minority stock
holders are not directed toward forcing
a dividend upon Southern Pacific stock,

in progress at Pittsburg, Manville and

At the Biiou.

1t seemed little short of a pity that the
very large audience at the Bijou last
night should have left there disappointed
with 1.-THE Show Girl" The audience was
the largest the house has ever held, and
possibly 100 people were forced to stand
ND. but even with that incentive the COM
uany fell far short of good work
There are few things which can be
recommended to the public. Several pref
tv girls are to be seen in the chorus, there
Is one song which might be called catchy
and pretty, and two of the leading charac-
tiers are particularly good. But the stage
settings, the costumes and the girls as
a rule are far below the standard OF
what the audience was lead to believe it
would hear and see.
The show lacked ginger. There was an
absence of snap. The performers seemed
not to IRE whether they pleased or not.
Out of a bad performance, however,
were picked several good features. The
lines are in many places funny Those
awarded to Ben Lodge, who plays the
role of Dionysious Fly, tn call round man
of a dramatic company were clever.
Edgar Flaville, the remarkable cat. was
also worth watching. e. Colt Anderson
as Captain Armor has a good voice and
was fairly good in his work. Harry Lane,
the property man of the stranded theat-
rical troupe. is another member of the
company with a musical voice and fair
ability.
Hal Johnson, supposedly, or some other
member of the company proved to be an
excellent female impersonator. He would
do much better on the vaudeville stage
with handsome costumes. He really has
the advantage over many impersonators
of looking and acting like a woman.
Not more than one of the songs has
ever been heard here before, and one or
two of them are worth listening to.
