A HONEYMOON PLAY Another Fine Attraction Fol l. lows "Trilby'' at the Bijou 4.l, Next Week.

Although this weeks production of "Trilby'' must Of necessity share in the ushering in of the new year, it also participates in the farewell of 1967 It remains for next weeks attraction to claim for itsalf the first full weeks of- fering in the year 1908. The manage ment feels that the year 1907 closed most auspiciously fer the Bijou Thea ter Stock company, for it left the com pany firm in the possession of the be- lief that it has many friends.
 The members of the company desire to offer their most sincere wishes to these many friends that the year of 1908 may bring to them nothing but the greatest joys
 The first week of the new year will witness the production of that master piece ot farce-comedy, by John Staple ton, "A Bachelors Honeymoon" The stocks, by it's worl; in Turned Ur,' showed beyond doubt that it could readily adapt itself to the playing of farcical comedies, and in A Bachelors $ Honeymoon the company will have still greater opportunity.

Morals of Sir Marcus.

Morals of Sir Marcus.
 It Is some time since the present generation of theater- -goers has had before it such a brilliant comedy of chsracter, epigrammatic conversation, and irreproachabe manners as The Morals Of Sir Marcus, which has been dramatized Tor presentation on the stage, in four acts, by William J. Locke, author of the now famous novel of sliShtly longer title. II is not within the memory of this generation, or even that before it, that sucn a winsome, quaint, appealing and wholly artistic little actress as Miss Marie noro has been discovered and petted and ap- plauded by a discriminating brother hood of playgoers. Ii will be, there- fore, welcome news to the playgoers of this city to learn that Miss Doro, now star, under the direction. of Charles Frohman, is to appear for q single performance only in The Nor ais of Marcus at the Hyperion on Thursday, Jan, 9.
 Miss Doro has reached her present exalted position by no managerial whlm or favortlsm She has been be- fore the public few years only, but in that brief period she has tabllsheu 8 following which has been quick 10 appreciate the charm of her personal ity, the quaintness of her methods. the scope of her histrionic talents Per haps she will be recalled most vivldly through her impersonation of Clarlca in William Gilette's delightful comedy of that title: but before that she had earned a place among ;he moro dell cate, and subtle of our American ac- tresses; and in giving her stellar rank Mir Frohman did simply what his best judgment dictated. Certainly since hei debut in Boston early in October Nils. Doro has encountered constantly aud. fences which have been charmed by her acting and delighted by the comed, in which she reveals that charm
 The Sir Marcus of the comedy is c Aubrey Smith, manly and finished player of the British school, who orig mated the role in the London presen tation. Two other noteworthy mem bers of the cast are Beatrice Forbes Robertson, niece of the distinguishe English actor and Forrest Robinson who has been identified with many o the substantial successes of past the atrical season in this country I fact the entire company is of excep tional worth, chosen personally by Nil Frohman.
