"nIam'.ellev At the BiJou

The attraction at the Bijou tomorrow night is Man zelle." There will be mat inees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday The following Is criticism of the show from the Norfolk Landmark:
 Man zelle' is certainly scream three acts of thrilling, sensational ac. tion that keeps one constantly on edgs wondering what is going to happer next It is an eccentric comedy, but an analysis of it would be hard to evolve In fact to tell what takes place during the second act would take away the spice and enjoyment of it.
 Sensation upon sensation follow eacf other in such rapidity and in such un- expected ways that 1t takes one's powers of 'self-control not to become excited, but through it all there is the ever-presen' element that forms the basis of the play the comedy
 And the plot, Tt Is Better to Have q Husband Who Loves You Too Much Thar to Have One Who Does Not Love You Enough, is worked to it's culmination by the company of stars amid abundant laughter and thunderous applause. The story, although it is tangible one tc sthose who witness the performance, beg. gars description in type; in fact, 1t must be seen to be understood and properly appreciated.
 Now as to the company of stars who presented this play to the two largest audiences of the season at the Granby theatre yesterday matinee and night Each of them are deserving of special mention for the excellent manner in which they acquitted themselves in carrying cut their interpretation of the comedy lines that predominate throughout the play.
 When it is known that John Todd Rita Knight and Joseph Creaghan, al three of Schiller fame here in Norfolk have leading parts in the production. g great deal, has been said for them. Up on the appearance of each of them last night they were given an ovation by their Norfolk friends.
 Mrs. Frank Beamish Rita Knight as Mrs. Louis Tupper, "A wife who is bored" added to the already long list of her friends here by her excellent and altogether delightful conception of the part which seemed to have been made just for her. '
 John Todd, as usual, won fresh laurels Tn his comedy role of Francois. the Frcnchman.
