eight acts were headline features at as

Girls were the star number at Hyde
& Behman's Brooklyn Theatre; Keno.
Walsh and Melrose were headliners at
the Maryland theatre, Baltimore; Paul
Nicholson and Angie Norton topped the
bill at Keith's New York house last
week and the Village Choir were the
hit at the Orpheum. The Kinetograph,
Bryand and Saville. musical comedians,
and Edwin Gray, the story teller, are
all down on the program. It looks like
great bill all the way through.
Lost in a Big City" the new melo-
drama in which N. s. Wood makes his
temperance in this country after an
absence Of nearly fifteen years, draws
upon an audience from the very out
set. 1t has succeeded because il is
interesting; il is entertaining because
il is edifying. and il will live for many
a day because it depicts human nature
as ii really is. Lost i'm a Big city
is booked for three days at the Ly-
ceum beginning this evening, ana that
IL will duplicate here the success it
has met with elsewhere, there is no
reason to doubt. For variety Of char
acters and vivid scenic effects, Lost
In Big City is unique in itself.
