romantic musical comedy, "Honey

The show has scored over the entire
circuit, the biggest hit of the tabby
season, And it comes to the Bijou di
rect from the Vicptria theatre, Nor
folk, fresh from a most succe'ssful en
gagement. Judging from the title,
the show will be one that will Interest
all mankind, as there Is no other

memories as “Honeymoon Trail'. It

any show that has been to the Vie
t<%la recently. It Is more of a reg
ular musical comedy than a tabloid
production, and equally as good In ev
ery respect. Not only is the comedy
of the ‘‘side-splitting” variety, but the
chorus is—well it’s “some chorus”.
That Norfolk boy, Leo Greenwood,
who handles the principal comedy
role, tried to outdo himself, and it
must be said in all fairness to him
that he’s “got the goods”. He takes
the part of Dr. Van Winkle, a "Yid
isher Doe”, and his every movement
waa the signal for an outburst of
laughter, Mr. Greenwood is well
known here, and last night a gioup of
his friends presented him with a floral
horse shoe as a token of their esteem, |
and In a little speech of presentation
congratulated him upon his success in f
the theatrical world. Mr. Greenwood;
Is, as is generally said, the "whole
show" and his work was liberally ap
plauded, but the entire company Is by
far superior to the general run.
"Honeymoon Trail" is presented in
two acts. The setting is appropriate
and the plot immensely entertaining.
Hie musical numbers are written to
fit in with the play and everyone of
them are good. Leo Greenwood and
chorus, in “Kill That Bear"; Hazel
Boyne and A 1 Raub and chorus, In
"I Don't Went a Million Dollars”; and
"Sail on, Silvery Meen", by Emma Ab
bot, seemed to be most popular with
those -In front. There are ten other
musical numbers and all of them
scored-
The ‘Stair-Step” chorus Is Just
about as nifty a bunch of girlies as
you’ll find anywhere. Raub,, as
Johnny Perkins, who is in love with
Edna Kennedy (Hazel Boyne), Is a
favorite, as is Miss Boyne, who is a
petite blonde. The support is good

WONDERFTTI PICTURE TO
BE SEEN AT DREAMLAND
"A wonderful picture.”
There were three moving picture ma
chines taking the battle pictures, and
nearly nine tuousand feet of film war
reeled oft to assure perfect results. All
:his for three thousand feet of film Al
most every phase of war is ahown In
this three reel feature—*:he crawling
from trench to trench, the wart ap
proaches, the harrowing retreat:, the
desperate appeals of ihe retiring eltleers.
nnd the untiring efforts of the poor
little drummer boys and the frantic wav
.ng o t the beloved flags.
We see the wavering lines reform
again and again and strive desperately
to hold the surging line of grayelad sol
diers, who savagely drive them back.
We receive glimpses of the wounded,
and see the overworked surgeons go
ing hastily from one to the other. We
see the nurses trying to eomfort and al
leviate the pain and suffering of the
maimed and the dying; we get close up
studies of the generals and see their
emotions. We are shown the sharp
shooters tn the trees, and watch their
satisfaction as they pick oft their vic
tims.
This wonderful picture will positively
he shown at the Dreamland Wednesday
April 2nd.
We open at 10:89 a. m. and close at
11 p. m., an • would suggest that the
ladies and children come as early a@
possible, to avoid the crowds at night.
