"A Hot Old Time"

"A Hot Old Time" opened a weeks en- gagement at the Bijou theatre last night before an audience that gave evidence of it's approval by continuous laughter. The piece is farce of the broadest kind but the fun is clean and wholesome and as a laughter provoking vehicle "A Hot Old Time" is a conspicuous success.
 The leading comedian, and in fact the only one in the company, is William Me Robie who is exceptionally clever in the broad farcical role of an Irishman. Ills antics on the stage were very funny and although he depended most on clownish- ness to achieve results he perpetrated several good jokes. As Sandy McPher- son he has a role that neeessitates much of the noisy gesticulatory, pantomimic comedy that Is still entertaining and MT. McRobie is we'll suited for such q part He kept the crowd roaring nearly all the time.
 The remaining members of the com pany are of average talent. Joseph Web CT is very good as General Stonewall Blazer while Victor Stone played the foil for MT. McRobie in acceptable style Irving Newhoff has a pleasing voice and his songs rendered with the assistance of a small chorus that was attractively cos tuned, were we'll received My Sweet Little Kickaboo," "whaAKaty Dld'' and Down Where the Suwanee River Flows won applause while Miss Dean and the chorus were encored for her coon song, Back to Baltimore"
 A feature of the performance that had no connection with the farce was the trapeze act of Mile. Ami, who did some startling feats of strength and contortion. She has wonderful strength and her per- formance made the hit of the evening.
 "A Hot Old Time" Is not intellectual but 1t is amusing and will draw good houses to the Bijou all this week.

 Wilson Barretts religious drama fne Sign of the Cross was presented yester- day afternoon and last night at the Jeff ferson theatre to very appreeiative audi ences. This Is not a new play, put us dramatic power elaborate scenery and the vivid pictures of ancient Rome Whleh 1t presents make 1t a production or never failing interest. The plot somewhat re- sembles the story of Vlnleius and bygia in Quo Vadis," and is equally stirring. The triumph of love and Christianity over the vices of Rome Is strongly pofuayeo from the time Marcus superbus falls be- heath the sways of the gentle ana pure Mercia, all through those brilliant scenes where his love battles with the eorrup- ton of the times until It at last trlufnphs in martyrdom and death.
 The Sign of the Cross is the kind or play that appeals to the imagination. Al though 1t has been seen here before, even the most callous theatregoer needs must yield to the spell of Romes departed greatness, especially when that former splendor Is brought so wildly before his eyes. The story deals with the reign or Nero and the prosecutions of the Chris tians by that imperial monster. All through the four acts the spectator is part and parcel of those old days. lie feels the woes of the prosecuted Chris tians, wonders at the splendid vice of the times and resents the pride and arrogance of naughty Rome until the curtain falls and he comes back to his normal state again.
 The company presenting The Signs oi the Cross" this year is a capable one, and numerically strong enough to give real ism to the various stage pictures, es- pecially in the banquet hall, where one of the most effective bits of acting in the entire play is consummated. The women were handsome and appeared to ad' vantage in their Roman costumes. MT George Flood played the leading role as Marctis-Superbus in magnificent style He has a fine face good figure and in his trionic ability is well fitted for such part. He was given good support and the production was most satisfactory.
 The scenic effects of this play should be mentioned. Each of the four acts ano number of scenes were elaboratelS staged. The scenery added much to tht impressiveness of the production.
