PICTURES AT THE
FOX LYRIC
GBy the Fox Lyric Press Agent.>

(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.l
Starting Monday afternoon VIM. Fox
will add another victory to his long
list of achievements in the show
world The Kinemaco1or pictures are
to be shown at the Fox Lyric starting
at that date. These pictures are the
acme of animated photograph show
ing the subjects in their natural col
orS.
It took Charles Urban years to per-
feet this invention and the first real
triumph was made when they photo
graphed the Durbar in Delphi, India,
when King George and Queen Mary
of India. 1t has been brought down
to that commercial point when all
subjects are taken the same as in the
black and white pictures.
No artist can paint more accurately
than the mechanism used in getting
natures true colors. Every effect Of
the rainbow is shown and in the seen
ic subjects there is not the slightest
shade but what is brought out true to
life.
For the opening three days of next
week the subjects will be Fisher
mans Luck a drama in two reels.
This gives a good chance to see how
the coloring of the trees, water, ETC.,
are brought out true to nature. There
is a pretty theme to the story as
well.
The Reedham Drill shows how the
orphan children Of England's dead
soldiers are cared for under the direc-
ton of the King and queen. These
children are expert soldiers and their
lightning drills and maneuvers are
credit to that great nation. This
Reedham home is located just outside
Of London.
Tested by fire is prize picture and
civ a wonderful i11ITSfr9 fi0n how
the fire demon looks in natural col
ors. There are four Of these reels and
they will be shown in conjunction
with the regular six acts Of vaude-
VILE and the six reels of black and
white pictures.
The regular show that is holding
down the boards for the last three
days of the week will see its final
inning today It is the best show of
the season.
The standard Fox program consists
of six acts OF premiere vaudeville
and six first run black and white
photo plays When one still further
considers the ridiculously low prices
of admission charged at the Lyric 1t
must be conceded that Mr. Fox is
giving the greatest values in the town
in the way of entertainment at the
Lyric AS an Indication that the
vaudeville will be OF the highest class
it might be mentioned that the fea-
ture act for the first half of the week
will be William Lampe and company
in lone Flight Up a dramatic play
let which promises to be the best play
ed here this season and for the last
half of the week the feature act will

that he had not been able to find in
the entire history of the stage any
trace of a Lear that could measure
up with Mr.. Manteus.
King Lear will be followed by
Hamlet which is the pet role with
Mr. Mantell, owing to the fact that
1t was the first in which he won dis
tinction as a Shakespearean star. At
the matinee, Mr.. ManteH will be seen
as "ShylOck'' in the Merchant of We

day of his engagement he will present

critic of the Toledo Blade regards Mr..

have been heard on the American

PoIiteness Paid.

A. striking example of the value OF
politeness is told by a woman who
was left to support herself and her
child and who had never had any
business training. Her husband had
had an income of several thousand
dollars a year, but it had all been
spent on good living. After his death
the wife applied for employment to a
firm with which she had had an ac-
count
what can you do?" she was asked.
Partly in jest she replied she could
write a polite note. To her surprise
she was taken at her word, for the
firm was badly in need of such a per-
son. She was told that it was difficult
to find some one who could answer
complaints in such a way that the
friendship of the customer was retain
ed. For several years she supported
herself and her child by writing polite
notes.-Detroit Free Press.
