Bijou Theater.

The stock company at the Bijou the ater presented "The Climbers before two large audiences yesterday in a most satisfactory manner. In the hands of a capable cast, the dramatic features of interest in this play were well brought out the acting of the company being excellent, while the mountings of the play were in good taste and the cos tuning was fine. In fact, the entire production stamps it as another of the successes scored by this company. The excellent work of the principal members gave the necessary tone to the play and as they were we'll supported by the other members of the cast the work of the company as q whole was excel lent. Miss Gertrude Shipman, as Blanche Sterling, had difficult part to sustain, but her work was more than pleasing and she richly deserved the curtain calls she received at the end of one of the acts Lawrence B. McGill, as Ned Warden the true friend, was easy and natural in his work, and in direct contrast with that of William F. CduuStui NIlO WctS lIl6 LICK 0IeFlllg, the wicked husband The work of the remainder of the large cast was uni formly good and deserves special praise for the manner and ease display ed in a first performance. The play is in four acts, and the snow scene in the third act is one of the most realistic scenes ever presented; it almost seemed to cool the atmosphere in the house. Between the acts Everett ButterAeld sang some popular songs, which were received with rounds of applause. Some beautiful views of the Yellowstone park were also. shown to very good advan- tage.
 The play will be repeated all this week, with matinees daily. At the Fri day matinee a souvenir photo of one of the members will be presented to all who attend.

She visits him clandestinely; the deception is discovered by her en- ragged father, and after violent quar- rel the outcome of which eventually leads up to the great scene of the play that suggests the question, how great a sacrifice should a woman make for the man she loves? For Nellie is con- 'fronted with the momentous question, shall she make the sacrifice or not? On her answer depends the fate of the man of her choice.
