ARIZONA" Augustus Thomas excellent
military drama, played to an audience at
the Bijou last night that practically |
tested the capacity Of the theater. and
indications point to a record breaking
week. All the parts are in thoroly cap
able hands and the production in every
respect is fully up to its former high
standard of excellence. A feature Of the
performance is the use of a goodly num-
Der of horses and cavalrymen, which add
decided realism to the scenes in which
they appear. A popular priced matinee
will be given tomorrow at 2:30, and to-
morrow night will be military night. The
officers from Fort Smelling and the Min
neapolis officers of the state militia will
be the guests of the management and
occupy the boxes.
The announcement Of the coming to the
Bijou next week of Eva Tanguay in
1.-The Sambo Girl" will undoubtedly be
we'll received by local theater-goers. Miss
Tanguays methods and mannerisms are
well known, and her performance of the
title role in her present vehicle is known
to be a delightful piece of comedy acting.
Miss Tanguay will have the support of a
large company of capable artists.
Rossi's musical horse, "Emir''; the
fire drill; J. Francis Dooley and his girls
| and their singing and dancing act; Arthur
Deming, with his revival Of black face
minstrelsy; Lucy and Lucier, with an
Improvement on "the bellboy and the
maid" sketch; Claudius and Miss Scar
let in high-class banjo duets, and the
great Salerno in the second week of his
marvellous juggling, constitute one of the
most pleasing bills seen at the Orpheum
| theater.
There will be over forty people on the
stage at the Orpheum theater next week,
the greater part of the company consist
ing of the twenty young women of the

| theatrical season has been the wonderful
success of Martin and Emerys dramatic
production of "Parsifal,' which is billed
for appearance here at the Metropt [tar

been as much anxiety on the part of the
public to see this production as was las

known Minneapolis favorites, Lawrence
Grattan and Eva Taylor.
