At the ptlou.

Why He Divorced Her. is the melo- dramatic production that is offered for this week at the Bijou The opening per- formance last night was well attended and the gallery was keenly alive to the machlnations of the villain, as well as the sufferings of two maidens who had very hard time of it for a while. The play is what may be termed convention al melodrama. For three acts the plot worries along without anybody being murdered outright, although a wronged girl is stabbed and finally dies, but in the fourth act there is a carnival of crime that would outface bad" Birming- ham. The curtain goes down on the deaths of two persons, the discontinue of another and the happy reunion of wife divorced by the villainy of a vl- lain who showed from head to foot that he was a very had man
 The story of Why He Divorced Her" is rather interesting and is fairly well acted. There was very little rant and as whole the performance was pleasing from melodrama point of view The play was well staged and there Is enough comedy to keep the audience in good humor.'
 why He Divorced Her. compares fav- orably with other melodramas that have been seen at the Bi1ou. The "heart in- terest" is pronounced and there will prob ably be a large attendance at the Bijou all this week of people who love a real thriller" that Is not so thrilling as some former productions seen here but thrilling enough to all intents and pur- poses
