At the Biiou

At the Bijou last evening "A Mans
 Game" was witnessed by a small au- dience.
 The story of "A Mans Game" is un- pleasant and leaves bad taste in the
 mouth. It concerns one Dan Mayo, a
 poor, hard working man who cannot provide the luxuries his frivolous young wife craves. The wife leaves him for an- other and Mayo is left alone with his child daughter and soon he places his daughter in the care of a friendly wom- an and leaves for the west to seek his fortune and forgetfulness. He goes out to Colorado and becomes saloonkeeper,
 gambler, politician and finally mayor of the city, and as the play opens 15 years from the time his wife had deserted him he is a miollionaire and is about to buy his nomination to Congress.
 His daughter has been educated in Paris since Mayo became rich and re- turns to him after 15 years absence, all
 ready engaged to marry young bank CT in New York Happiness comes to Mayo thick and fast for his daughter S chaperon is the old family friend who
 has taken care of the daughter all these years and she accepts Mayos offer of marriage. as Mayo believes his wife dead.
 The wife is not dead and appears upon the scene through the machinations of Mayo's political opponent. She is a wom- an of evil ways. her face is marked with the lines of dissipstion and she
 comes to break into the happiness of her husband. In the meanwhile the
 friends of Mayo discover that Durnell. his political opponent, Is a crook and expose him. The daughter sees her moth CT, but Is not told who she is and the
 play ends with nothing very definitely settled.
 Miss Estha Williams played the mart of Nance Mayo, the erring wife, reaiis-
 tically; that is, she made it as disgust : ing as 1t could be portrayed. It was a clever piece of acting of very sordid and selfish character. Edwin Walter as Dan Mayo was the rough and ready westerner and played his part well. 1t is not fault of MT. Walter that the play made him out as an artificial and totally unnatural character. Miss Rita Harlan as the widow friend of the fam
 fly had the best written role of the play and presented it artistically, and her personality and charm appealed to the audience. Harry L. Dunkinson as the ex-champion prizefghter with his slang took Qn the comedy honors handily w. A.
