CLEVER AND VARIED
 BILL AT LOEW'S RIJOIT

The programme at Lowe's Bijou for the first half of the week pleased the large audiences at the performances last night, a varied bill being the off ering. James Merrick and company, in a clever comedy playlet, The Merchant Prince" and Nora Allen grand opera singer are the feature offerings and the other numbers are attractive. The photoplay Married in Haste" with the popular young stars Albert Ray and Elinor Fair, in the leading roles, is striking comedy and one of the best they have appeared in for some time
 Miss Allen opened the bill with some choice song selections rendered in ex- cellent voice and was given a gener- ous encore. Dolly and Calame pleased with high class singing and dancing number, some of the dances being ex- ceptionally good
 James Merrick is one of the best ac- tors seen on the local boards in some time and in The Merchant Prince" he has a role admirably suited to his talent. His vehicle is good and contains some clever lines, and with better support the act would be the hit of the season.
 Al Tyler got by fairly well with a tramp monologue and sang several songs that took with the audience. The clos ing number the Ferraros, novelty gym nasts was acceptable, the couple per forming some unusual feats of strength and skill
 With the recent installation of the Butterfly" system of ventilation which forces a continuous stream of cool fresh air through every part of the theatre, the Bijou is the coolest place in the town, and adds much to the enjoyment of the excellent pro gramme for today and tomorrow.
