At the Biiou

''The Woman He Married very clev- erly written piece presented by a capable cast, is the offering of the Bijou this week. It is an excellent show and far above the average type of plays that have been presented at the Bijou this season.
 The large audience which greeted the first performance of "The Woman He Married" was we'll pleased and showed it's appreciation by well deserved ap- plause.
 The most refreshing part of the type of show that is offered Bijou patrons this week is that it is not white slave drama. There is no "gun play" no ideal-

HOW TO BE SLIM

If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds, don't starve and weaken Your system, or think you must always be laughed at on account of your fat, but go to Eugene Jacobs Drug. Store, or any good druggist, and get a box of Oil of Korein capsules. take cne after each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once week and note what a pleasant and reliable method this is for removing su- perfluous fat from any part of the body.
 It costs little, is absolutely harmless and a weeks trial unnecessary to be burdened with even single pound of unsightly fat.

At the Lyric

 for the first half of this week. The house at both performances last night was filled to capacity and there was no lack of applause. The entertainment pro- vided has plenty of variety and there are no weak spots.
 Perhaps the warmest welcome was ex- tended to Pietro, the pano-accordionist, who has appeared here a number of times and is a great local favorite. Pietro may we'll style himself wizard on his chos- en instrument for he plays all kinds of music with equal facility and can shift from a classical selection to the most pronounced ragtime with surprising ease. He has long repertoire this season and is generous in responding to encores.
 ''The New Producer billed as a Grand Opera Cocktail" also met with favor. The principals, Bertram Peacock Blanche Morrison and John Phillips, have excellent voices. With the assistance of small chorus and ballet dancer they present selections from the favorite operas in pleasing style. An element of novelty is introduced by giving what pur- ports to be a rehearsal
 Hallen and Hunter, the woman of the team violinist, and the man comedian were well received in their sketch, Just for Fun" The comedian told some funny Irish stories and sang several bright parodies.
 Ishikawa Brothers, Japanese equili- brists, performed some difficult feats of hand balancing and acrobatic work of unusual merit. Like most of the oriental performers, they are surprisingly strong, agile and graceful.
 Mccormick and Wallace contrive to make their ventriloquism novel and amusing.
 Pathe weekly pictures complete one of the best balanced and most entertaining bills seen at the Lyric in sometime.
