My Tomboy Girl"

My Tomboy Girl" the attraction at the Bijou this week, drew a crowded house last night. The play is musical comedy drama with Lottie Williams in the title role. The audience last night was enthusiastic and received the more dramatic scenes with the usual Bijou demonstrations
 While there are few jokes that might as well be omitted and parts of the plot that do not arouse emphatic approval My Tomboy Girl'' is a good Bijou att traction and is sure to be literally pat ronized
 The play carries one from the Penn sylvania ferry to the waldorf-Astoria hotel, then to the Colvert home in vir- ginia-Fury Holland next to an outlaw cave in the mountain. The stage settings are all good Some of the scenery is es- pecially pretty.
 There is dancing and singing, pretty costumes and catchy songs. Then there is some typical melodrama, of the sort that pleases the gallery.
 Lotte Williams. dressed in male cos tune as Captain Charlie tracts "Black Jacks band of renegades to their den In the mountain with blood hounds, and af ter a desperate pistol duel with the band a rescue is effected. Pistols are exploded freely and the theatre Is filled with gun powder fumes as the curtain goes down on this stirring scene.
 The top of the house was especially en- thusastic over the battle-and showed it.
 Lottie Williams is extremely clever and captivating in the duel role of Josie the tomboy and Captain Charlie. The com pany Is generally good. Al Lester. a German nobleman, is especially enter taining

Installation Of Motors All that Is Nee

The new street cars are daily ex-
pected by the Walla Walla traction
company Word has been received
that the American Car company has
finished their part of the construction
and now all that needs to be COM
pleted is the installation of the motors
by the General Electric company.
The cars were due according to con-
tract many weeks ago. The company
Is anxious to install the service as
soon as possible, but is helpless in
the matter.
Inability to get bridge timbers trans
ported has necessitated the construc-
ton of temporary bridge across the
Walla Walla river which will be a
clear loss to the company when the
permanent structure is put in.
Work is progressing all along the
line and only the impossibility of
getting poles prevents the early COM
pletion of the line to Milton.
