Billy (Single) Clifford at the Bijou
 'The Girl, the Man and the Game" the bright new musical fantasy in two acts, which comes to the Bjou this week, is described as one of those effervescent en- tertainments in which farce and music is mixed in just the proper proportions. Billy (Single) Clifford, who is starred in the piece, Is provided with a rollcking role, in which his well known comic methods are seen at their very best. The story has to do, In brief, with a young man who has an eccentric uncle, who Is always travelling about The old man sees the pictures of Dorothy young American girl, and he falls desperately in love with her. He sends home to his nephew and asks him to go and court her for him. The young man falls in love with the girl on his own hook, and writes a letter telling his uncle that the girl is homely, drinks, smokes and has other peculiarities. and thus the old mans love story ends at once.
 The uncle has always been very anx- ious that his son should marry and settle down, so he offers him s50,000 when he shall marry. Getting pressed for ready cash the young man writes his uncle that he is married and has child, and the old man is very generous and all goes we'll enough until the uncle writes that he is coming home Then the young man gets his friend, Mrs. Merry, to pose as his wife. borrows a child, and the deception is kept up for some time, much to the amusement of every one, as many excruciatingly funny situations develop. Finally the tangle is solved, the young man weds Dorothy, and every one is hap py. This role gives MT. Clifford ample opportunity for high-class fun-making, and he has numerous songs that are full of the catchiest melody imaginable. Among the songs are: 'I Can't Miss That Ball Game" 'Tll Be With You in Hon. eysuckle Time" "A Twig of Smarcol1, Has Anybody Got a Kiss to Spare?' That Was All. Nothing More" Italian Love- How'd You Like to Marry Me?" Moon Talk Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland," That Dreamy Rag and several others.
 MT. Clifford is supported by the fol- lowing metropolitan cast: Adele Archer, Jack Trainor. Margurite Devon, Bud Braman, Rose Won Tilzer and La Journe.
 The production is bright and new and costly, and the offering has given satis- faction wherever 1t has been presented.
 There will be matinees Tuesday. Thurs day and Saturday and performances nightly.
