NO VAUDEVILLE
AT THE B|JOU
Theatre Will Reopen Monday
With Only Moving Pictures
and illustrated Songs.
RUMoR OF NEW PLACE

The Bitou theatre, at New Bruins
wick avenue and Jefferson street,
will reopen Monday afternoon. after
being closed several weeks for re-
pairs and alterations. Contrary to
expectations no vaudeville will be
presented, only moving pictures and
Illustrated songs. When the the
alter closed for the umme tt WIS
stated that IT would reopen about
Labor Day with the usual vaudeville
program, but since that time the BIZ
jeu Circuit Company changed Its
plans. The reason for the change
has not been given out by the con-
Germ, but from another source 1t Is
reported that negotiations are under
way for a larger and better house
here. During the past year the COM
pany has been DESTROYS of building
a modern vaudeville house tn this
city and there is reason to believe
that the project may m~ateriali5e
shortly.
Manager J. F. Ernst when see to-
day said that he knew nothing OF the
company's reasons for disseminating
the vaudeville but did not deny that
1t was likely to have another place
here for vaudeville. Under the pres
emit arrangement moving pictures
will be shown, together with illns-
trated songs, every afternoon and
evening. Neil Farley; who was at
the theatre during the first part of
last season, will be the singer. The
admission at all times will be FIVE
cents.

"Can this ring be men.led so a pawn
broker will give me the usual amount
on it?'

but I doubt II you can ever persuade

"Then l guess I'll take chances on
my finger getting well with the ring
on" said the young a and left the
store.

CLUBS IN LONDON
ON THE DECLINE
Several Have Hard Time to
Keep From Extinction Ow-
ing to Poor Patronage.

LONDON. May 23.-For several years
past the bulk of the clubs within a
quarter Of mile Of St James street
have been suffering, some very badly,
for three causes.
Clubmen VINO, eight or ten years ago
belonged - two or three clubs. using
perhaps only one with any degree Of
regularity, have had TO cut down ex-
penses and to be content with one.
Secondly, bachelors who used 70 dine,
and often entertain, almost invariably
at their clubs, If not at nome, prefer
the more lively surroundings OF a
restaurant
Lastly, the consumption Of wines and
spirits has steadily declined, even IN
proportion TO the number OF members
using the club. Under this head the
accounts of one OF the best-knoWn
clubs In London show that the members
spent only an average OF eighteen
shnings each during the whole OF last
year; the amount received Tor meals
being represented by less than four
hounds a head, although the premises
provide accommodation for sixty per
sons 10 dine at the same time ana
the club has an excellent chef.
Twenty years ago only four nrst-clas5
IVest-end clubs admitted women as
guests Now women can be entertain
ed in special rooms at ten OF them. But
even this attempt to compete with res
taurants has not realized the expecta-
tons Of the committees.
In the eighties nearly all the princi-
nal clubs were able TO show profit
balances sufficient TO be carried 20
reserve account. Now most OF these
accounts are nearly. II not quite, eX-
hausted One of the oldest establish
ed clubs in London has more than
once In the last three years been on
the verge Of extinction.
This financial depression has had
the effect of compelling committees
to regard club management as a bust
ness undertaking more than hobby.
The first attempt at reform in this
direction was made some years ago IN
one of the most distinguished clubs
IN Pail Mall The coffee room was
being worked at a loss Of nearly
So, 600 a year
A certain revolutionary old colonel,
a member of the committee proposed
that a well-known firm or caterers
should be consulted. The suggestion
staggered his colleagues, but eventu-
aIIY it was adopted. The firm report
ed that they were prepared TO pay
S. 600 a year for the privilege Of
catering for the club in such a man
ner that the members would not no
tice any change.
So the waste and leakage" must
have amounted to nearly $4,000 a
year.

He saws he is convinced that the cities
