 DANCE SHARPLY
Smart Daughter of Billy" Barry Wins Highest Applause Honors at Poli Play House

- Lydia Barry. daughter of the late famous comedian, Billy, Barry. cas- fly walked away with the heaviest portion of applause last night at Polls. where she was in competition with an unusually interesting bill. Her chief contribution was a satire on some tendencies in modern vaudeville. Her characterization and imitation of the Salome dance, and of the whole school of such caperings was delicious, and her rapid contrasting of the ditties of a score of years ago wich those of to- day was equally fortunate Whole some, clean and exciting is the work of this delightful lady from the sta- ble of Barry
 It is doubtful if more remarkable family of acrobats than the Lorchs have ever existed. The act that they put on beats anything that has been seen here for the numbers actively en- gagged. for speed, for dressiness and for sheer skill and daring. The foot tossing was truly marvellous.

There was something of a shudder from the older ones as 1t was realized that there were two Marks and two Topsies, but some people are so conservative, which can't be helped. Miss Ophelia was Tom prayed as fervently and died as loQuaciously as he used to do, and his remains were displayed in full view of the audience during the apotheosfs of little Eva. just as they used to be. But the apotheosis was better man. aged than in the old days and curtain after curtain went up before the last view of little Eva floating around in heaven was finally thrust upon the eyes of an audience at breathless at- tention- Just as earlier In the even- ing murrnurs of "Ain't he cruel" had been heard from various parts of the house, so now there were whisper ings. "Ain't she beautiful" And surely she was, for if by the move ment of this old time play souls are attuned to mercy, love and generosity what does 1t matter if the acting be not so finished as in more modern drama and if the stage machinery is too visible and the bloodhounds not so ferocious as the advertisements would indicate, what does that mat ter?

PARK THEATRE
BRIGHT EYES"

The first act of Bright Eyes,, the new musical play by the authors of
 Three Twins which will be seen at the Park Theatre tonight and tomor- row, shows the stage of theatre dur ing rehearsal of a musical comedy. With the scene set to represent an almost bare stage, with the stage chorus girls arriving for the morning rehearsal, the picture is entirely novel to the ordinary theatre-goer. but exact as to detail to anyone who knows anything about the stage and its peo- pie and has watched for weary days and weeks the rehearsals of musical play. The usual fight between the ponies and the show girls takes place, the stage manager calls down everybody in sight and all the details of real rehearsal are gone through with. Finally towards the end of the act the stage hands and property boys come on in full view of the audience and rearrange the scene. the lights go out for an instant and when they come on again the whole scene has been changed to one representing the roof garden of a famous New York hotel, with the city and the Hudson River in the background. It is one of the most attractive scenes in the play and one of the most startling chanSeS ever Hdue on the stage. TO work this change a very large stage crew is carried and they have been carefully trained for the parts they play in view of tn audience For Bright Eyes", Jos. M. Gaites, the producer, has engaged a company of unusually able players. headed by Cecil Lean and Florence Holbrook. who will chorus numbers more than fifty and an orchestra of twenty pieces is used

 Clark's Runaway Girls Company which comes to the Park Theatre on Thursday.

Clark and he has introduced many novel and expensive electrical effects which will make it stand forth as one Of the brightest and best musical extrava- ganzas that will be seen here. and it is safe to predict that there is pleas ant surprise in store for the lovers of this kind of entertainment. Among the many celebrities connected with Clarks Runaway Girls are Jack Reid, Frank Wakefield, Robert Jackson. and the list of pretty girls include Miss Ella Reid Gilbert, Miss Estelle Rose, Miss Winifred Green. the dainty sou brette; Miss Pattie Carney Miss Pert Crofx and Miss Alice Wilson. and a bevy of pretty and fascinating chorus girls, including Beatrice La Rover.
