 In the person of Miss Delda Rotali this troupe has songstress that real lv delights one with her singing. She rendered a number of difficult selee. tions with perfect ease and proved 6 decided favorite.
 The chorus however, is the real part of the show, being composed of good singers and 1t would add greatly to the performance if they were given greater latitude and allowed to appear on the stage oftener.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the French Ball.

Fanny Rice, who has been star in vaudeville for a number of years, was persuaded in a moment of mental aber- ition, no doubt, to go on the road as the star of At the French Ball." a vehicle so weird that the wisest head would find difficulty in solving the problem of its raison detre. The piece is nothing more than a series ot vaudeville acts strung through three acts in a rather awkward way which serve to introduce the only feature of the entertainment" really worth while, namely, the caricatures of Miss Rice. She is a talented woman, with an in fectious laugh and a wh holesome person. ality. She Is moreover extremely clever in her cabinet work, reproducing fla nous personages in miniature with Imaginable fidelity to detail. but sh Q ought to stay in vaudeville or get a play that is something more than a Chinese puzzle of inadequacy. The vaudeville features were as a whole pleasing, notably the songs of Miss Soule, who was encored. However. Miss Rlce's speciality was the only one cn the programme that had original ity and distinction.

At the Biiou.

Lena Rivers" was presented at the Bijou theater last night for the open ing performance of a weeks engage ment, with the usual matinees. The play was cordially received by an audience that entered into the spirit of the plot and afforded encouragement to the play CTS by it's appreciation. Lena Rivers" is singularly popular among a certain class of theatergoers The play is a. dramatlzation of famous novel of the same name which is familiar to many thousands of readers The fact that the book has had such a wide following is largely responsible for the success of the play, although it must be taken into consideration that Miss Poynter is an actress of much charm and ability, while the dramatiza ton wMcn she has made from the book Is better than the aver age book play, retaining the salient parts of the story with unusual fidelity
 Lena Rivers" pictures scenes and people In the south, not in an ideal way but as every one knows them to be- It holds, so to speak, the mirror up to nature, and if, in its closing scenes 1t makes one cry just a little bit, it is because of that touch of. nature that is placed there so deftly that one for gets that he is looking on a mimic scene Every one who appreciates the good that the theater can do, will like Lena Rivers It is all clean and whole some; it's atmosphere Is refreshing, and there Is nothing suggestive in the story.
 Miss Poynter's performance is sympa- thetic and aristocratic to a marked de- gree. She has personality that pleases and her portrayal of the principal char acter in Lena Rivers Is one not easily forgotten. Miss Poynter was here last season in the same play. so that an extended review of her performance is unnecessary. She has become a great favorite at the BiJou. The supporting company is fair and the play is very well staged. Last year Lena Rivers did a record-breaking business at the Bijou. The indications are that this suc- cess will be repeated.

good finish in plain sight of the au-
