4 EnUOr1te to
open the Byou

Beautiful in new decorations, better
equipped than ever before to provide
convenience, comfort and safety to it's
patrons, the Bijou opera house will open
with the, Sunday matinee, Sept. 8, for
the initial week of the fall and winter
season. The work of redecoration and
rehabilitation is not yet complete, but
it is promised that everything will be
ready in time. The many improvements
that have been made are sure to please
that has been done, the Bijou can easily
rank with any Of the theaters in the
northwest
In melodrama there are none SO good
as the old favorites, and Jacob Lift s
production of Sin Old Kentucky
which will be the opening attraction of
the Bijou's fall season, tho it has been
seen here on former occasions, will, on
this occasion, undoubtedly attract the
same generous support from all classes
Of theater- goers. One does not have
to go below the surface to discover the
elements which make for the success Of
the piece. It is beautifully supplied
with that homely sentiment which never
fails to appeal to the emotions; it has
an abundance of comedy, and it reveals
delightful romance Of the southland.
The merry little coterie Of pickaninnies,
always identified with the play, will
be strongly in evidence again. The play
is always satisfactorily cast, but this
seasons company is said to be much
better than ever before. A fine scenic
production, all new, has been provided
for this year Is presentation.

in all large cities from New York to

All companies will travel in their
private cars, and among the new ideas
will be the establishment Of fund of

ments on the theaters forming the cir
cult. This fund will be used to pay
railroad fares for all companies play

railroad fares will be equalized and

MINNEAPOLIS GIRL
TO SING IN OPERA
Miss Magda Dahl Has Act
cepted an Engagement
with Henry Savage -
May Sing in Grand
Opera Later. "

A Minneapolis girl, Miss Magda
Dahl, is to: become an opera ger.
Miss Dahl left Minneapolis two years
ago for New York to seek wider mu-
steal opportunities, and she has been
unusually fortunate in her quest, Sc
curing an excellent church choir posi-
ton from the first. A few weeks ago
Miss Dahl sang for Henry Savage, and
the Well-known operate manager was
atty that he at once offered her a
five.:year contract with his opera COM
panies. The financial terms were ex-
tremely liberal for a young singer with
no stage experience, and as the contract
calls for an increase Of salary every
year, Miss Dahl at once accepted. She
has been assigned the role Of "Night-
ingale' in Gustav Luder's light opera,
",Woodland, - and will begin rehears-
ais Aug. 49,.
Mr.. Savage gave Miss Dahl to un-
derstand that this would be training
for her. and If she made success she

as he did "Parsifal' last year.
Mr.. Savage, was enthusiastic over
Miss Dahl, saying: ",She has fine
voice and I am sure something can be
made Of it. - .......
Miss Dahl had only just accepted an
engagement for year with the Sec
ond Presbyterian church in Newark,
n. j. When the church heard of Mr..
Savage's offer, she was not only given
her release from the contract, but the
position will be held open for her for
several months in the event of her not

ond season Sunday afternoon, Aug. 20.
Over the doors leading to the main floor
OF the auditorium is the legend:
"There is no place like home-except
the Orpheum.' There was much truth
to this legend last season, and. it will
be the greatest endeavor Of the manage
ment to more firmly establish this truth
during the coming season.
Curiosity as to the personnel of the
opening bill has been rife, and this
curiosity will be rewarded. to a great
extent by the announcement that Nina
Morris and company will head the first
bill in sketch displaying to their best
advantage the recognized abilities of
this great legitimate actress.
A new Hercules has doomed above the
vaudeville horizon since the Orpheum
closed it's doors last May, and as a re-
lutely the strongest man in the world,

Agent Forgot
To Time Race

The question, "Can woman rea-
son9'' has been variously answered,
but all authorities agree that she is a
little weak on mathematics, which means
on the computation of time and distance.
This was brought forcibly home to
Charles F. Towle, manager Of the "Ben
a hur" company 1J and L: N. Scott, man
one afternoon while standing in front
of the theater when the spectacle was
presented In this city two seasons ago.
Both gentlemen were in right good
humor and were talking about the i'm
mense success and big business the Wal
lace play was enjoying, when they were
accosted by representative of the So
cietty for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
ducing himself, told the managers that
his society had been notified by lady,
who had seen "Ben Hur' the night be-
fore, that the horses in the chariot race
were cruelty treated. She said that
MESSIAH and Ben Hur dashed them with
whips and pushed those magnificent ami
mails forward with breakneck speed for
an uninterrupted period Of at least
eight minutes.
Ills that true9" said Mr.. Scott.
II regret to say it ISL replied the
society man. 1t happened that a matt
nee was in progress, and as it was then
about 4 o ''clock, Mr.. Scott remarked
to the agent that the chariot race would
run in a few minutes, and that if he
would go into the theater and watch
for himself he would be able to make
an intelligent report to his society.
MI. Scott ushered the agent to a seat,
and left him with the parting injunc.
ton: Now don't forget your watch;
catch the time on the race: Keep your
eye on the drivers rather than on the
horses, to see whether or not they are
really touched by whips, because the
facts Of the matter are that the whips
are whirled and cracked above the heads
of the horses, but never touch them. -
Ten minutes later the agent Of the
society came out rubbing his bewildered
eyes,. With a wave of his hand, he ex-
claimed: "That race is not long
enough. 1t is the best thing I ever
NWell, report that to your society,"
said Mr.. Scott, land I think it will be
a sufficient answer to the com plant
lodged against u.s.

to be in attendance, and it would be

to miss such an opportunity to see such

everybody else were there just as they
had said they would be. The amphi-
theater was tremendous place, and
the audience numbered-so we were
told-something like 10000 people, in
Guiding men, women and children. The
king himself was the most uncomfort-
able looking person of anybody that
| saw there, and after it was all over
| could readily understand why he
looked that way.
First there was sort of grand en-
try, in which all the toreadors, plea
doris, matadors and all the others took
part, decked out in the gayest cos
tunes, It was really wonderful sight
ana Miss Dwyer and I enjoyed it thor
oily. While all this was going on, the
bull was in his cage over at one side
of the arena. After the procession
had filed past the place was cleared,
and then a. man got up on top Of the
cage and jabbed a javelin down into
the bulls back. The poor beast gave
q roar of pain and rage and, the door
being opened at the same moment, he
rushed out into the middle Of the ring
and stood there looking round at the
crowd as if he wondered what it was
all about. After that they began to
tease him with a red rag and to do
other things which evidently put him
in a great rage, and it was quite inter-
esting so see haw skilfully they could
get out of his way.
