BIJOU COMEDY COMPANY.

Last evening the talented Bijou Comedy Company commenced their season in the Oddfellows' Hall, Hamilton, and although the audience was not a large one, the full programme was carried out in such a lively and cheerful manner, that one could almost fancy they were playing to an overflowing house. Not an item was in'ssed, and encores awaited every turn. The entertainment is a delightfully varied one, and there was not a dull moment from start to finish. Miss Armitage charmed her listeners with her delightful acting, sieging and dancing, and at oueo installed herself a fivonrite, while Messrs Ted Armitage, the coster impersonator and dialect actor, F. L. Norman, C. Witton and Louis Phillips, with their comic and nigger aongs and step dancing, kept the audience in the best of good humour. The comedy produced in the second part of the programme was most amusing, abounding as it does in the most humourous situations,and those who wete fortunate enough to see it will not fail to attend this evening, when the company appear for the Ui9t time, There is an entire absence of the vulgarity which marks so nuny of the variety entertainments which favour the country districts with a visit, everything is new and up-to-date, ami we can recommend the (show, as it is well worth a visit. Ttiis evening the company will agiin appear in the Oddfellow's Hall, and on the reputation they established last night we feel sure that their entire change of programme will attract a large crowd of visitors, who will embrace the opportun'ty of attending the entertainment as a fifing wind-up to the outing at the Waikato Amateur Athletic Club's Sports, wh-ch eventuate on Sydney Square this afternoon.
