The theatre was filled with a large and appreciative aud- fence, which paid a spontaneous tribute to Miss Manufacturers powers of expression, and was liberal in it's applause for those who assisted her, including the members of the Ladies' quartet and MT. and Mrs. Gussen. Miss Manufacturer gave a recital of Israel Zangwilrs Merely Mary Ann" a charming play of exquisite comedy and a captivating love theme, which was pre- scented at the Jefferson last season by Eleanor Robson and her company. Miss Manufacturer has a fine stage presence her voice is musical and she has rare sympathy. Her recital, divided into three parts, was artistic and thoroughly enjoy able. Even one who had never seen the play could catch most of the comedy and pathos which the lines and situations pro- vide. The musical numbers included Tn May Parker), by the Ladies' quar- tet; violin, Perpetual Motion (Ries), by MT. Gussen; Summer Fancies Ser nald), by the quartet; song, kiss Me Good Night, Dear Love-" by Miss Byrne. The members of the quartet were Mrs. A.. J.

At the Biiou,

The Ritchie London Comedy company is drawing well at the Bijou theatre this week in Around the Clock, vehicle which they used with great success all last year. The company is again headed by Billie Ritchie, comedian of unique methods who is clever at pantomime and plays the role of an intoxicated person through three acts. The principal part of the performance and by far the most amusing is in the last act when a bur- lesque of a night in a London music hall is given. This speciality is screaming funny and it never fails to set the house in an uproar. However, there is thread of a plot and enough comedy to make the first part of the performance inter- esting. The musical specialties are well staged and the girls wear some attractive costumes. "Around the Clock" is well adapted to summer weather and the Bijou will be found delightfully."- cool at all times. The usual performance will be given to- night.
