The TheQterS
At The Lyric

Irish plays were popular this week.
The Irish Players We're at the Gen
nett, and a famous Irish play. written
by celebrated playwright native to
Ireland, Dion Boucicault, was repro
duced in motion pictures at the Ly-
rio.
"Arrah-Na-Pogue," is one of the best
known plays of it's class, and in the
motion picture cast are seen some we'll
known legitimate players, including
Mr.. Sidney Olcott. 1t is a melodrama
of rapid action, complicated plot and
intrigue and is as exciting in the pam
tomime of the motion picture as on
the stage.
When the five-cent theatres produce
picture dramas of this character they
are on a high plane of amusement
wondering, and are interesting to ev-
cry class of theatre-goer. While this
was to be seen only on Wednesday of
this week, the management of the Ly-
ric is to be congratulated on its pres
entation. e. G. w.

At the MURRAY,

Apdale and his trained animals ap-
pearing at the Murray this week is an
act that Is sure to please all, whether
they are interested in dumb animals
or not. Here is a collection consist
ing of bears. dogs. monkeys and an
ant eater. There is not dull moment
in the act and it is wonderful to watch
Apdale and to note how each COM
mand is obeyed. The bears are finely
trained and for such cumbersome
beasts they perform their little stunts
with the same eiacrity and precision
that the little fox TERROR displays. The
monkeys are funny and the South
American ant eater is clever. This
animal is considered the hardest to
train in all the world.
Apda.e's act is one that probably
will not be duplicated this season.
The other acts on the bill are first
class and very pleasing. Gotchell and
Meodra put on a little singing sketch
that is clever.

Only Three Of This Notable Eleven
Were Under 200 Pounds.
On Aug. 10. ITS. General Washing
ton and ten other oficers Of the Revo-
lutionary army were weighed at West
Point. N. Y, and the result is pre-
served in an item from the English
magazine Notes and Queries. Only
200 pounds. The heaviest was Colonel
Swift, whose 319 pounds made him
lead the next, General Knox. at $50.
by thirty-nine pounds. but Knox was
only twenty eight years old.
Then follow Colonel Michael Jack
son. 252; Colonel Henry jackson. 23S;
General Lincoln. then forty-five years
old. 224; Lieutenant Colonel Hum
phreys, 221: Lieutenant Colonel Hun
tington. 212.
General Washington, forty-six years
old. weighed 200 pounds and was fol-
lowed at quite an interval by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Cobb and General Hun
dngton, who weighed 1872 pounds each.
1t is amusing to note that the heavi-
est mans name was Swift and that of
the highest General Creation, who ID
credited with 166 pounds. 1853 less than
Swift's record.
The total weight Of the eleven. 2,4S5
pounds gives 2c6 pounds as the aver
age. but Swift being omitted the other
ten averaged only PIT pounds.
They were certainly men Of weight
and substance and a heavy team-if
we may compare them with a modern
football eleven-that might well chat
lenge comparison also with our mod
ern military men.

Here is the most radical change In
sailor hat styles that has been seen in
many a day. The crown of this new
sailor is almost three times as high As
the brim Is wide. and the very broad
velvet band and bow increase the APP
pearance Of height materially. Natu-
rally this new high crowned sailor
will be bit trying. especially at first.
until the lines of the shape have be-
come familiar. but the hat is really no
higher than some of the low crowned
sailors of previous seasons. The big
crown settles down over the bead al
most to the tops Of the ears. and the
brim at the bottom of this big structure
Of crown surrounds the face like an
outstanding frame.
