will be a grand double souvenir mati- nee. The management will as at all of the matlnees give one of the hand some souvenir watches and in addition each one attending will receive g. hand some souvenir postal of the new lead ing lady, Miss Emma Bell.
 Miss Bell, playing here for the first time in Clyde Fitch's play, Her Own Way" has been most favorably re- ceived and is already favorite with Bijou patrons. In the role played by Miss Maxine Elliott in this play, Miss Bell is at her best. Her emotional work is deliciously free from affecta- ton and her lighter scenes are brought forth in manner that shows her to be fully as clever in light comedy as in drama
 Next week the stock company will offer that beautiful play by Edward E, Kidder, Peaceful Valley" This is the play in which Sol Smith Russell appeared with immense success. It is a play with well told story and will doubtless be received by capacity houses.
 Seats are now selling for the re- mainder of this week.

VIM. A. BRADY IN LONDON WILL BECOME A FACTOR American Directing Grace Georges Tour Tells of
 Some of His Ob-
 servations.

Grace George, who will be seen in "Divorcons" at the Hyperion theater Saturday matinee and evening, Oct. 19, appeared in London during the "socie- ty season. there this past spring and summer. William A. Brady, who is directing Miss Georges tour, was also in London during the months, and so we'll pleased was he with her success that while there he arranged to sub- init to English audiences for their ap- proval some of his attractions which had found favor in the United States. ''Waw Down East" will be one of the offerings sent over and Robert Mantell later will be given an opportunity to appear in Some Shakespearian roles from his repertoire. In making his plans for entering into the London field, MT. Brady had an opportunity to contrast the methods obtaining there with the ones he is so familiar with in this country. That he is determined to become a factor in English theatri. calls is further evidenced by the con. tracts he made for Miss Georges ap. pearance again in London next season His observations as follows are quite interesting:
 Tn their interior arrangement and service" said MT Brady, "even the newest of the London theaters have disadvantages that seem strange to Americans. The cost of admission tc the f1rst-class houses Is more than ir the country, but the conveniences without reference to the play itself are far from commensurate with the increased expense. The scale of prices In the West End theaters, reduced tc

to the smallest possible space. He is an official of great responsibility, for at well attended performances the skillful discharge of his duty will add $50 night to the box office receipts. \
 London safeguards It's theater audi ences as well as we do, but unlike here the cost falls upon the theater mana ger. In each playhouse a fireman with absolute authority is stationed. His salary is paid by the theater though 1t does not control his actions. He must make regular inspection of the auditor ium apparatus at intervals and see that the passages are kept clear and particularly that the fire, curtain is dropped and raised once during each pearformance, so that the audience can see it is in working order. The police mans duties are the same as here, ex- cept that he also assits in handling the carriage rush when the audience is dis missed.
 Every piece of scenery, drapery and fixtures used on the London stage is 1 freproofed and this law is rigidly en- forced, but the use of lighted lamps, candles and other open flames on the stage is quite prevalent.
 'Tt is generally believed that English theaters were originally built below the street level for reasons of safety, The atrical architects deny the efficacy of this plan, and urge building playhouses entirely above the ground Such rev. olution in theatrical architecture is not likely to be brought about, however. One reason is that ground rents are exorbitant, almost to the point of mak- | ing theater building prohibitory, unless part of the rental can be met by office hire Another is that the ancient light" privileges of nelghborlng prop erty prohibit the construction of thea ters in most localities high enough to Accommodate an orchestra floor and two or three balconies above the street level
 American actors who appear in Lon don invariably find that they must change their method slightly to suit the demands Of English audiences, On opening nights, for instance, they must play to" the pit and galleries in or der to win a cordial response. Ill America their chief concern is to suit the tastes of the occupants of the seats in the orchestra,
 Actors from abroad are also annoyed by the persistency of audiences in re- fusing to come to their seats until about 9:3o o'clock owing to this tardt- ness, nearly every play in London l' preceded by curtain raiser although Grace George had what Is known a' an entertainer precode ''Divorcons. This first rart is. aimed to appeal t the tastes of the gallery and pit, Joccu pants of which arrive at the theatel early and remain late.'

arhe Heart of Maryland. '

Of all the popular and greatly sue cessful plays of American origin, re- producing American events, charac- ters and exciting scenes, which have been presented throughout the past decade, there is none that has held so firm an abiding place in the favor of the playgoing public as David Belas- co.'s drama, "The Heart of Maryland, {" which will be presented at the Fly perion theater October 22 and 2S, with Wednesday matinee, As a dra- matic idyl of love and war, realistic and romantic portrayal of American life, mans loyalty, womans hcroism and the picturesque scenic beauty of the locale of the stirring events, it claims foremost place on the Amer ican stage.

 stephen Wright owns the Double x ranch. Mary Wright, his wife, was married before she married him by g man who deserted her and whom she thought dead. This man turns up however, and makes trouble in the frs moment or two. He finally drives hel into confessing to Wright that the man whom he is treating to such hos | pitality is her former husband, Boyt | Denver. But before this has happened Denver makes her-and his-son Billy the Kid promise to steal some papers 1 from his father. This makes him al outlaw. While he is doing this, the tragic confession takes place and as i Wright starts to take vengeance, Den yer shoots his wife and Wright him. self. The act ends with Billy swearing an oath to kill the murderer.
 Three years pass before the second act opens, and Billy Is still on the trail. Tn this act Billy wounds many in fight in the dark while saving | Nellie Bradley from Denver's hands He is bounding Denver, trying to make him confess.
 The third act Is a trap to try and catch Billy, but by skillfully dtsarin' ing all the men he escapes with a crash through the window. The mex act ends all, with Denver in the toiE land Billy's oath accomplished. Tht horse Billy rides is of interest, being bought by him from Sheriff Haynes who captured Tracy, the outlaw. an; who originally owned 1t.

The selection was extremely well rendered and as an encore, "The Whistler and his Dog" a composition of MT Pryor's was rem dered One of the attractive features of the concert was the work of Miss sorensen as accompanist.
 Mr. Pryor rendered an original trombone solo that very artistically showed his ability with this instru- ment
 Miss Young sang "Carmena" in d most satisfactory manner, singing in l excellent vcice. Her work shows marked Improvement over that which she did while on the local vaudeville circuit By request Miss Young sang Annie Laurie" in a charming man. ner

 The rest of the soloists carried oui their work In a most comr1endable manner.
