BIJOU WILL BEGIN
SEASON NEXT WEEK

The Bijou opens a week from tomorrow
afternoon with a Labor Day matinee. A
night performance follows. From that
time there will be a company at the
Bijou every week for some 36 weeks.
1t Is stated the productions will be way
above the class Of past Bijou seasons,
because there will be many big produc-
ton that will not be able to make liv-
ing on the big circuits this season on
account of the keen competition
The opener will be musical comedy
drama 1.-THE Millionaire Kid which will
have a chorus, a comedy and q thrilling
drama. 1t is one Of the best shows OF
the kind that will come south this sea-
son, and it is the kind of amusement
that sprung into popularity two seasons
ago when the patrons tired of melo-
drama and musical comedies were too
expensive to operate.
Following that will be a line of first
class attractions, many of them seen
for the first time at popular prices. Such
plays as 1.-The Thief" The Wolf"
"Brewster's Millions" 1.-The Live Wire,
THE Right of Way" THE Winning
Miss" 1.-THE Rosary" THE Lion and the
Mouse" paid in Full Man of the
Hour" I'm Panama Adventures of
Polly" and "Wildfire'' will be seen at
the Bijou, as we'll as Ward & Vokes In
a new play, LAS the Sun Went Down"
and 1.-THE Minister'S Sweetheart; Beulah
POINTER in a new play; Cecil Spooner In
a. new play George Sidney in new
show. "At the Mercy of Tiberfus.
school Days." Governors Son." ''st.
Elmo" and others.
The Bijou has been considerably fixed
up" for the season The lobby is re-
splendent in red and green and gold
all newly done by the scenic artist; and
the interior has been retouched and done
over where necessary. On account OF
the work done last summer it was not
necessary to do very much to beautify
the Bijou this season. Some new furni-
ture and furnishings were bought; new
scenery secured and few minor changes
made.

Mercy will heal the contrite heart,

For each and all sometimes will fall,
Beneath the tempters snare;
But we can have sweet mercy,
We can the sinner spare.
Don't say the word that's so unkind,
About the tempted one
But mercy have on all their faults,
Because we might have done
The very same had we been placed
Just where that weak one stood,
We never know until we're tried,
'ris true we none are good
'Tis noble IL we err, at all,
To err on mercy's side,
Our recompense will be sweet peace,
What ever else betide--
For we have followed in the path,
The path the Master trod--
/ And comfort and sweet rest will come
Sent by the hand OF God.
Yes. "blessed are the merciful,'
For mercy will be shed,
Around the path they tread on Garth
Sweet blessing on their head.
And when they stand before the Judge
And hear the Masters word,
He'll give them mercy such as they
