value that has been Offered here for
the money. Notwithstanding the
heavy rain, the patronage last week
was slightly in excess of what 1t was
the week before. which was even bet
ter than the opening week. That Is
going some for new enterprise, ana
any one who has seen the lines ana
double lines OF patrons assembled IN
front of the Bijou every night VIII
bear witness to the truth of all claims
in the matter OF patronage. In the
matter Of the show. more than $4,000
spectators-many of them repeaters,
of course--will attest its superiority.
The Princess Theatre people nave
equipped the Bijou with battery OF
ceiling and wall fans, oscillators and
others. that will keep the largest ana
handsomest theatre in Richmond as
cool as the proverbial cucumber dur
ing the summer. In all. there Is a.
battery of thirty-two fans.
This weeks bill is going to create
a lot of discussion. That 1t will be
friendly and favorable goes without
! saving. In fact, the Bijou management
| Is proud of the fact that 1t has made
| friends of all Of the vaudeville patrons
of Richmond by its down-to-the-min
4 ute and dignifed policy. Topping the
bill will be pretty Marjorie DAVIS, Ia

Her act is one of the best of the kind
