1 Patrons of Loews Bijou, the popular playhouse. and coolest place in the city, were well pleased with the new bill foI the rest of the week and every act was Igiven unst:nted applause. Capacity houses was the rule
 Minstrel entertainments are always pop ular and that presented by the Seven Dixie Minstrels was no exception to the rule. The act abounds with jokes of new and old vintage clever dancing, comedy songs and ballads and pleased immensely. The performers are all well known min strel entertainers and show up well. A stirring patriotic finale makes a timely close.
 John Small and the Small sisters, in a whirlwind dancing novelty, earned the approval of the audience and made one of the hits of the bill. The act is well staged.
 The Sylophones, a couple who perform on the xylophone, were excellent and Port and Delacey proved two good com edy entertainers.
 The photopay feature, 'The Divorce Game'' in which the beautiful Alice Brady plays the leading part, is unusual ly interesting and pleased the patrons. Miss Brady will shortly appear in per- son at the Bijou, which gives added in- terest to the picture.
