"A Child of the Regimenf' PIeases.
 "A Child of the Regiment" is a stirring. scenic melodrama with mii- tary background and a sweet ,sympa- tstS,Ip ths.,r plot It is play isa With T1sS in which a great deal of powder is exploded at various intervals. and one man is killed, but 1t is, strange to say, a play without a villain.
 Such. in brief, was the impression of the first of a three nights engage ment of the "A Child of the Regiment company at the Bijou Theatre last night.
 The strongest feature of the play is essentially its scenery and scenic ef- fects. With the seat of the beginning of the plot and its unravelling laid in the great Northwest during a dreary. snowy winter, opportunity is afforded for beautiful and realistic scenery throug hthe four acts of the perform ance.
 But aside from this the play is above the average meIodrama, because it's theme is prettily based on the single fact of mans sacrifice for the woman he loves even to the confession of a heinous crime which he did not com init Such is the part of the hero sol dier, Tom Hadley, taken by Walter Wilson. Hadley is a gambler. a rep rebate. and he has sunk to the depths, but he has a noble heart which as- serts itself while he assumes the garb of a murderer to shield the name of his beloved's father. But victory was his in the end. and exonerated and pro- noted in rank at the Dakota fort. he marries the girl he loves. Emotional ly, physically and admirably. MT. Wil- son takes this part.
 As the sweet character, The Little Major" Vivian Prescott is a delight full trick. She Is we'll adapted to the part of the heroic little female, so fondly devoted to Tom Hadley.
 Special mention should also be given Harry w. Mitchell, who plays the part of John West with exceeding pre- cision. John West is a big hearted ranchman of the West and MT. Mitch ell makes him appear naturally
 George O'Beavan as Lieut. Richard Titt1e, and Beth Kaufman as Sue West are fine fun makers. In fact, the en- tire cast is above the average for a melodrama.
 "A Child of the Regiment" will be played agai nat the Bijou Theatre to- night.
