* Olllelte's delightful comedy, "Because
She Loved Him So," was prosonted at
tlio Bijou at lwo pt-rformancos yesterday,
the hill changing t? this piece for the
remainder of tho week. The comedy,
Which lias been seen here before, serves
as an excellent lesson to young married
perniile, anil shows them the folly of petty
jealousies, and how they appear in ? the
eyes of other people. The picture Is not
so overdrawn as one would Imagine, fur
thero aro many such women as the "Ger?
trude 'West" of Gillette's comedy. Two
hairs in themselves seem Insignificant
things, but when they appear upon the
shoulder of a' man's coat, In a woman's
eyes they are sometimes sufficient causa
for divorce proceedings, A man who
would go Into his wife's presence with two
auburn hairs upon his coat, when her own
tress?s are not of sun-tinted hue, is- too
foolhardy to bo considered a good risk
fur accident insurance, in the case of
?, ?ffixfl-'j^at- fogliiiN^mxmmmhim
to believe that his cont needed a brush?
ing before the searching eyes of his wlfo
fell upon it. He was entirely Innocent,
lust as many other unlucky men have
been, but when a wnmnn sees a thing she
sees It. nnd the only thing to do Is to
seek shelter and wait until the storm
passes over. However, for the purposes
of the comedy, Oliver West puts himself
in the way of tho storm by following It
to tho house of hi? mother-in-law, In It?
self a most foolhardy thing to do. How?
ever, it In Just as well, perhaps, not to
dwell upon the picco. Those who have
seen It will remember It very well, for
It Is not easily forgotten, while those
who hnvo not, will enjoy It all the more
thoroughly if th?*v tiro not maele familiar
with it beforehand.
Tho piece was vory ?well produced, and
was splendidly staged. Miss Percy Has
well. as the jealous wife wns most con?
vincing, while Mr, Frank G'lllmore was
all that could bo desired as Oliver West.
The John Weatherby of Mr. Alfred Hud?
son had in it an element of comedy which
proved vastly plensln? to the audience.
All of the rolos wore acceptably filled,
with the result that a good performance
was given. l?. C.
The largest audience of the summer
season witnessed tho performance?, of
"Friends" at the Academy last night.
Tlie verdict both as to tho play and the
players has been most emphatically fa?
vorable, and genuine pleasure has been
expressed that a company of such calibre
Is to ligure to such a groat extent In tho
summer theatricals. There ls not really
a weak spot in the cast, and tho per?
formance ls simply Idyllic. --
The Glffen Company will he seen next
week In "Under the Red Robe," a play
that has been much discussed, but never
seen hero. It ls ? very ambitious under?
taking, and no effort Is being eparsd to
make It one of the biggest features of
any summer stock season in this city.
Another Fawcett Company will be at
the Bijou next week In a fine revvol of
"The Little Minister." Manager Fawcett
?will Introduce a new star In this part.
Tho play s so well known Jhere that It
needs no recommendation, its popularity
has already been attached by a phenoenal
advance sale.
