THE BIJOU.

Back to the days of your youth !? Would you take the trip if it suddenly became possible? Yes? Then don't miss the big combined vaudeville and moving picture bill at the Bijou theatre starting tomorrow, for the entire bill is so designed that it will take you back on a trip to youth, where the soul of youth is laid bare, revealing all the joys and all the sorrows that are concealed within it. It is trip that will make us all feel younger.
 lust take for instance the feature picture, "The Soul of Youth" starring Lewis Sargent, the lad who made such a great hit in "Huckleberry Finn. D Doesn't that sound like a good start on that trip youthward?
 The story of The Soul of Youth" is centered around boy who grows up in a foundling home and shows his un- happy life in that institution where he gains the name of being the worst boy in the place, and his subsequent exper- fence after he departs from the home to make his way in the city streets. The story contains a strong counter play of political intrigue, and the boy, after being adopted by MT. Hamilton, the young clean government candidate, puts over the big climax that saves the day for the law and order faction and makes him the hero of the hour.
 The cast is one of the largest that has ever been assembled for screen production and includes not only a number of famous juveniles, but sev- eral prominent leading players: h. cluded in this list in addition to Lewis Sargent are: Lila Lee, William Collier, IT,, Ernest Butterworth, S1yde Fillmore, Fred Huntley, Claude Peyton, Betty Schade, and many others. Judge Lind sey, the noted juvenile jurist, and his wife, Mrs. Ben Lindsey, also appear in several important scenes. 5..r. .- -
 If that hasn't started you back on the road to youth sufficiently, the next bit of transportation on that road will be on or rather via the Everest Comedy Circus, one of the greatest comedy acts in vaudeville today. This IS one of those big three ring circuses that we see advertised every June as the greatest show on earth" with only one big diff ference, and that is that Darwin $ theory is proven correct and monkeys run this circus. Every bit of the work is performed by monkeys. Most of the comedy is furnished by monkeys and most of the performing is executed by the monks" If this act doesn't carry you long ways on the TOdd DdSk to youth nothing will.
 But that isn't all Then there is still further assistance along the road back through the years. Charlie" Seman, the narrow. fellow" will help the good work along with screamingly funny comedy and singing. ''The Four Chor- isters" are four charming women who present a novel miniature revue, with some beautiful scenic effects
 But the good work won't be allowed to stop there even, and is continued by Marks and Rosa, who are known in vaudeville land as the ''gabby couple" They're line of songs and dances are just the ''best ever." Then the Skating Hamiltons, who are the "King and Queen of the Rollers" begin to put the finishing touches to the trip.
 The latest episode of "The Vanishing Dagger" starring Eddie Polo, one of the latest comedies, Screen Snapshots, showing bits from the lives of the movie stars, and the very latest Pathe News will complete the work, and your trip back to youth is complete. What do you think about it?
