Opening Of the Bijou Theater
Every seat in the old Athenenm, now
known as the Bijou theater, was filed
last night upon the opening Of the
new popular priced amusement house.
THE night was not suspicious for an
opening and no such crowd was ex-
Epected, but those who braved the dis.
agreeable weather were amply repaid
for their trouble. The program con-
|fsisted principally of moving pictures
intersperced with illustrated songs,
both Mr.. and Mrs Tracy doing the
singing and greatly pleasing the audi
[ence, both having unusually good
voices. The pictures were the best
that were ever shown in this city, and
that is saying a good deal. They
were exceedingly clear and there was
none Of the flicker which mars most
exhibitions of this kind The sub
jects were interesting ], some in
structing and others full Of life in
terest, while still others brought
forth roars of IS laughter. It was
noticeable that each set 81 pictures
was warmly applauded, plainly shows
ing the appreciation Of the audience
for good thing. The popular prices,
10, 20 and so cents, were winner
and filled the house 1t was such a
show that one can go more than once
to see with interest. One Of the
greatest surprises to the audience was
the interior Of the old playhouse.
Few recognized it in the new paint
land attractive appearance it now
presents. The Bijou will be open
every evening, giving two perform
ances each night. There will be an
entire change Of program Mondays
and Thursdays. It is worth going to
see.
We Got Off Lucky Misery loves
company and the more misery we
sometimes hear Of when in trouble
ourselves the better We feel. On
this highly edifying basis the people
lof this city should feel first rate over
the disagreeable weather yesterday
in view of the misfortunes which
overlook the balance Of the state
when we were doing the hardest
kicking. At HazeIton it is said the
snow was foot deep, six inches
were reported at Darlington and Val
Hey City and in Fargo and other Red
river valley points the snow and rain
Eand wind made the day simply beast
lily. In fact the storm was general
all over the state and we were lucky
lin getting of with an inch or less Of
snow, which has long since gone in
to the ground to add i've bushels an
acre to the wheat yield. From Valley
City to Fargo the wind blew d gale
and toward evening the temperature
dropped considerable and as a re-
| suit the snow and sIeet is said to
have covered the telegraph wires so
heavily that they all went down early
in the evening, SO that Until an early
hour this morning the railroad and
Western Union wires were down east
OF Oriska and the railroad company
was only able to run its trains be-
tween that point by messages sent
from jamestown to Fargo Via a wire
around by LaMoure and Lisbon. The
Tribune was a sufferer and almost all
of Its Associated Press news was cut
of. only a few messages getting
through before the wires went down,
one message being cut OFF in the
middle. An attempt to get press dis.
patches through via Helena failed. II
