ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEW,S BIJOU

William and Bernice in a variety of comedy acrobatic stunts easily proved the headline feature on very mediocre bill at Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week. Like the clown in the circus band, this pair leave one under the impression they could perform some honest-to good ness acrobats, should their act not have been of the comedy variety.
 Bob Millican, offering potpourri of jokes, some of them new, and a few witty sayings, some of them not so witty, deserves second mention. Bobs program. be it to his credit, was unoffensive.
 Dave Rafael and company, the company consisting of goat and a number of wooden dolls, proved fair ly entertaining. Rafael is good ventriioquist.
 Dance Fantasies, featuring a man and a woman, neither of whom are exceptional dancers, opened the bill. Whether the fault lay with the dancers or the orchestra is left to the individual, though the lady was mo- ticed to score that organization sharply on several occasions.
 Baldwin and King in an act of the old southland, featuring number of popular southern favorites rounded out the bill. The lady's voice was better than the mans; neither, judg- ing from the applause, made a de- cided hit with the audience.
 Tom Mix in Catch My Dust" a typical Mix picture with the usual thrill, proved up to the standard of this popular actors productions. AS usual, Toms horse, Tony" was a feature of the picture.-R. w. K.
