Play of Southern Life.
A genuine dramatic treat is promised
the patrons of the Bijou Theatre this
week, when Arthur C. Aiston's COM
pany will present AT the Old Cross
Roads
This MAY has been one of the most
remarkable successes of the past nine
seasons, having been toured from
coast to coast, and almost in every
case received by audiences which test
ed the capacity of the theatres. The
cngagements at the Grand Opera
House, New York City, will long be re-
membered in the annals, as the big
auditorium was nightly, during each
engagement, packed to It's utmost ca
pacity, and the amount of money
drawn was a record-breaker even for
that theatre, which is noted for its
enormous receipts.
The play is conceded by all to be one
of the best stories OF Southern life
given to the stage in recent years.
Each character is drawn with a mas
ter hand, and the plot of the play I'M
folds a deeply interesting and prob
able story. The company is a very
strong one and contains many of the
original cast. Special scenic effects
are carried for the production.
