At the Biiou,

''The Two Orphans IS being well pre-
 sented by the Baldwin Melville company at the Bijou theatre this week. The plaA is one of the finest melodramas ever written, and seems never to grow ola.
 The same scenes and incidents of the play are familiar to most theatre-goers, yet they do not lose interest. The char acters in the play have become classic, and there is no way to tell how long "The Two Orphans" will continue to draw people to the theatre. The play is unusually well staged this week and the members of the Baldwin Melville compa- ny are giving well rounded performances. The principals and the support acquit themselves we'll. Next week the offer ing will be ''The Confessions of Wife by Owen Davis, who has written many successes. 'Thei Confessions of Wife" is considered one of his strongest plays.

"under Two Elans y

The Baldwin Melville company opened
weeks presentation of Under Two
Flags" at the Bijou theatre last night to
a wel-illed house, despite the inclement
weather. The performance was surpris-
ingly good. The play is an excellent
drama, rich in color and romantic in the
extreme. The company made the most of
its advantages, and the results as a whole
justify the statement that this is the best
play yet given by the Baldwin Melville
forces at the Bijou theatre. Special seen
cry had been prepared for each of the five
acts, all of 1t good. No detail of the pro-
duction was overlooked and Mr.. Baldwin,
under whose supervision the play was
staged, deserves credit for the ability with
which he has put on Under Two Flags"
All of the scenery was painted by the
Bijcu staff of artists, which is in itself a
commendable feature.
One of the richest of the settings
showed the interior OF a tent in the AL
gerian camp. Another capital bit of stag
ing was the desert, where there was a
sand storm, where the sun rose and Cigar
cite made her thrilling ride over the
mountains to save the life of Louis Victor
who had been sentenced to be shot at
break of day. The picturesque attire of
the Arabs lent color to this scene The
various scenes of the play were made
more effective by the presence of ten or
twelve supernumeraries, who gave life and
movement to those parts of the play
where 1t was most needed.
The story of Under Two Flags is too
familiar for repetition here. 1t is a STIR
ring and romantic recital in which the
love of two women and the sacrifice Of
one woman's life are entailed. Cigarette
is easily one of the most popular of all
stage heroines. The part is ne that read
lily appeals to the sympathies. Indeed all
parts of the play are strongly drawn. The
conditions of the play and it's localities af-
ford fine opportunities for costuming and
stage art.
The company showed up to unusual adj
vantage. Miss Wheatley seemed thor
oughly in touch with the role of Cigarette.
It is perhaps the most successful she has
yet attempted in the course of the present
engagement Mr.. O'Connor was very
good as the hero who leaves the flag of
England to fight beneath the flag of
France. Frederick Julian and Miss Ada
Gleason, recent additions to the company,
did very we'll indeed in their respective
roles. Mr. Julian was a capital English
lord, while Miss Gleason was pretty and
womanly as the princess w. II. Murdoch
as Black Hawk, Frank Harris as a money
lender L. o. Hart as Bertie's valet and
other members of the company appeared
creditably.
