About a week after the strike began
the company had cut twenty-nine cars

Almost a capacity house greeted Lot
tie Williams in her first performance
OF my Tom-Boy Gi-f' at the Rijou
Theatre Thursday night, and the en-
thusiasm with which the play, its
bright particular star and the menu
hers of her company were received
assure the complete success of the en-
gagement for Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matinee.
Miss Williams and the play had been
seen at the Bijou before the perform

which is musical comedy-drama,
therefore requires no extended review.
1t has a plot of lively interest and the
employment of a fancy costume ball
and robbers den as two of the
scenes of the piece afford opportuni-
ties for a display of handsome cos
tunes and scenery and some effective
tableaux. The play was quite ade-
quately staged Thursday night.
The star of the company made a
distinct hit as the Tom-Boy Girl. Miss
Williams. who is light, graceful and
pretty, showed an excellent ability To
act in the seriously emotional scenes
of the play. and her performance in
the lighter parts was delightfully."- at
tractive. She led some very enjoyable
songs
Will ]. Kennedy as Herman was
was marked by quickness and origi-
nality and his performance was con-
sistently humorous. His specialities
introduced during the play comprised
creditable parodies and admirable
dances.
Grace E. Burdette as Diavolo and
Clara Fisher as Lillian Calvert por-
trayed difficult roles with marked abil-
ity, strongly sustaining highly emo
tional scenes. Ada Henry had two
parts and acted both with credit. Will
H. Stevens as Colonel Calvert acted
with admirable sympathy and spirit,
Ben A. Lamar. as Black Jack played
well. Other parts were adequately
taken, Alice Blankey as Mother shep-
herd deserving special mention.
An especially pleasing speciality was
