ADJUSTMENTS.
Summer Season at eiJou,

The Joseph Kilgour Stock company, which opens at the Bijou theatre tomor- row night, is considered by Atlantians to be the strongest stock combination which has ever been put into theatre there for e summer run. MT. Kilgour has sur rounded himself with very clever people, who have made themselves exceptionally popular with the people of Atlanta and have been the recipients of many social attentions in that city.
 The newspapers speak of the company as being specially strong in comedies, and In fact 1t was with view to producing them that MT. Kilgour organized his company. The straight comedies pro- duced in Atlanta have proved to be the most popular, and the best two of these the local manager, MT. Williams. has chosen for the opening bills. They are 'An American Citizen" and "The Late Mir. Brown" The former will be played Monday Tuesday and Wednesday nights and the Wednesday matinee. and the latter will be on the last three nights of the week and the Saturday matinee. Both pieces abound in bright lines and funny situations.
 In tho play the first part of the week the company Is exceptionally well cast,
 
 1t was produced with equally as much ebIlity as if it Lad been an all star cast. Mir. Kilgour has a part for which he seems to be exactly fitted in every way. He has the figure. the actions and the looks Of the part and has scored a great suc- cess in It.
 Earnest Joy, another favorite with the company, will also be seen to advantage. He is quite a social favorite in Atlanta, and has made a great many friends there by his genial nature and pleasant ways, as we'll as his acting.
 Henry Carl Lewis has an excellent chance as the waiter. He is frequently on the stage and always with something funny to say or do. Laughter follows him every time he makes an hit, and 1t is the hearty laughter of those who have really enjoyed his work. Besides these three there are Lawrence Wheat, Stanley Dark, Charles Brewer ana John T. Henry, all of whom arc capable actors and have good parts.
 Miss Nora o'Brien, who has only re- gently joined the company, but who made an instantaneous hit, Is accredited with being a very beautiful woman. She has grace. beauty and talent, and handles the leading roles to the satisfaction of the au- dienoeB. Miss Grace Gibbons is another clever woman with the company. She has parts which allow her great scope, and sho always plays them well. She is a petite woman who has proven very pop Ilar in Atlanta for the entire season.
 Among the other women are Miss Helen Ford Miss Amy Hamlin and Miss Emma Hayner.
 The bill for the last half of next week will be The Late MT. Brown" instead of Lost 24 Hours" "The Late MT. Brown is described as potpouri of laughs. adapted from the German by MT. E1iigour and produced under his personal direction.
 The Bijou is being fitted with electric fans and will be one of the coolest places in the city. Enough fans are being placed to prevent the air from standing still in any part of the house, and also to pre- vent their blowing directly on any one and causing bad cold.
 The tickets nave been on sale since Thursday and the advance sales promise a large house. It Is probable the company will be greeted with one of the largest houses the theatre has held in many months.
