The Bijou program will be mater
tally strengthened tonight by the in.
clusion of Brown and Robinson, two
English singers, who are in class by
themselves. Their reputation, made
in England and enhanced throughout
the British empire, should certainly
lose nothing tonight at the Biiou
Their turn is a novel one, for the
audience will have the pleasure of
hearing two excellent singers intro
ducing some dry humor. 1t is a re-
fined act, and no doubt will appeal to
every section of the audience.
Kunz and Kunz are still in the bill,
and so are Vivian and Allen. The lat
ter are comedy acrobats, and a lot of
their work is exceedingly clever. The
turn would be slightly improved by
the elimination of the little vulgarity
that creeps in on one occasion, and
appeals to but a small portion of the
audience.
