Garden until IL quite frankly retired
from competition with the other play
houses, had its share of these unsuc-
cessful enterprises. Then the little
Bijou on Broadway showed on its
stage one failure after another, but al
ways a failure plus. 1t was not only
below the average but there were ad-
ditionai picturesque or absurd features.
