ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEW's BIJOU

There are two acts at LOeW's Bi- iou for the first half of the week which share headline honors from different angles.
 Nalda and company with toe danc- ing and interpretatiVe numbers was one of the favorites. Tnis act was clean cut and entertaining Miss Nalda is an artist and her pretty gowns and beautiful setting both ad- ded the -attractiveness of the special- ty. Her aScompanist was also an ar tist at the piano and his speciality numbers were well received.
 The other act was Hoban and Green with good comedy that was extended to burlesquencss without the usual suggestiveness. Both men were comedians of the first line and they kept the crowd laughing during the entire time they were on the stage. There are very few ac- tors who have the ability or person. ality to keep laughter going through out, but this pair succeeds with ease.
 Stevens and King have a potpourri of songs, dances and chatter that is unique and entertaining. Their Chi nese number was funny and allowed them to spend their few minutes on the stage without difficulty. The Baltos opened the show with chair balancing act that was good. The male member of the team performed several feats that were amazing.
 Billy Barlo, who held fourth place on the program usually kept open for headline act seemed to fall flat with his repertoire Monday night. He either was older than his looks. or perchance took up some old comedy nips that made other fathers laugh years ago. He got one or two good laughs out of an attentive audience. entire program is the photo drama, The Toll of the Sea- which is cclored picture. The scenes are beautiful and especially those of the sea. which predominates in the plot. News reels and comedies completed the bill.-R. B. w.
 AT THE LYRIC
 A bit of the Metropolitan opera was the head offering of the Lyric for the first half of the week, in Mime. Doree's operatic revue. Her company. numbering half dozen or mors tented singers, offered bits from the more famous grand opera classics, which seemed to please the syncopation loving portion of the au- dience as we'll as those with taste for higher art.
 made decided hit with his versatile performance on various musical in- struments. His selections of 'up-to- the-minute songs and pieces, to- gether wnth his singing, made his number one of the most enjoyable on the program. Tom, helper in overalls, wtom Dave Harris sprang on the audience towards the closing of the act, gave a demonstration Of how 4 cornet should be played in jazz" selection. and, of course, MT. Harris had to come in for his share Nof the applause with an accompani- ment on various instruments.
 ueorge Douglas and Leona Earl presented little skit of nonsense and fun in "A Message From Home," in which slapstick and bits of real humor blended into very laughable number.
 The Evening Breeze" small town newspaper, had it's small-town reporter in John Tray. who, with Grace Hilliard, presented something new in humor and pleasantly. Their sayings are original. which always helps put an act over.
 The opening number was an artis- tic posing offering by Brent and partner, in which the extreme flexi- btlity of the body of Brent enabled him to assume poses both graceful and horrible in their grotesqueness.
 The photo offering was Good Men a"d Rad.'' featuring Marin, Sais, Mer- Till Mccormack and Steve Carrie. ..ae., as d whole. the bill was fairly ~ cd if blend of humor, slapstick. song and classical music can be con s.As.eu tor the good of the Dill. - NJ. M.
