Company.

Finished Production BY Competent
Company.
An excellent performance by a
competent company of players OF a
finished dramatic production, was the
verdict OF the few who braved the
storm last evening to witness "The
Climax put on at the Bijou. There
were only four people in the '-ast but
every one was O star and it would be
hard to state which was the best.
The part CT the ord italian music
master was one that took best prob
ably because he had all or most all
the comedy lines.
The part of the young music teach
er was the most difficult in the piece
and was carried, off to perfection. The
young lady music student and the
Ohio physician, both called for good
work and the 3arties taking the char.
aoters filled the bill entirely.
The Bijou is not getting the pat
ronage that is their due for the class
OF plays that are being produced.
Nothing but the highest class has
been booked and Bismarck people
have had the opportunity this year
Of seeing some of the greatest sue.
cesses of the season.
The next play booked is "rhe
Third Degree" (which has had Won
derful run in the east and is being
shown for the first time this winter
In the west. The date is December
20, and there should be good house

the high class productions that we
may hope to have continuance OF
the bookings secured for the winter

at the institution that Winters was
taken with one of his spells and wan
dered away from the place he was
working as it is almost impossible tc
imagine that man would attempt to
brave the present weather even far
a chance of freedom.

had never required the attention of a
physician. Her remarkable constitu-
tion, however, could not Withstand the
claims of old age in her recent illness

fu, floral offerings expressed the love
