Lyric Opening

The Lyric amusement company
gave it's first performance Monday
evening to a packed house, standing
room was all occupied and the manage
ment were compelled to turn away
many at the first performance.
The subject and pictures were
strictly first class, and we have heard
many compliments paid to the man
agement.
The room is fitted up in a neat
manner and for the comfort OF the
patrons The chairs are arranged
upon q sloping floor, mating is spread
in the aisles, beautiful oil paintings
pannels, by, o. A. Sigler our local
artist, adorn the walls. One very
noticeable feature Is the curtain which
is tented so that pictures thrown
upon it do not reflect that sharp white
light so firing and harmful to the
eyes,. This place ought to be asucccss
as it is worthy of a location In a
much larger city than Canton. The
illustrated songs are rendered by
George A. Rogers, known to all lovers
of mnSic.
The program Is changed Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. The pro-
pram for Wednesday and Thursday
evening of this week was especially
fine, the feature film being Mary
Stuart.
