MISS CLEVELAND STARS IN CLASSY SKETCH AT
 FOX LYRIC THIS WEEK

A corking little play1et with a record or three years success over the Or pherrn and Keith circuits and starred in by the authoress Gertrude Dean Forbes is the selection for Miss Cleve- land and her associate players the first three days of this week at the Lyric. The title of the sketch is "Just Bobby and the central figure is a young newspaper woman who wants to land a big interview and in the do- ing of it she finds herself up against many surprises the biggest of all be- ing revealed at the final curtain. Miss Cleveland plays the role of the news paper woman. Guy Harrington who has been a signal hit in every one of the p1ay1ets will have the role of a reporter, Margaret Lewis big char
 acter part of an Irish servant girl, and
 MT. Maftwese as the ''Uuknown." The
 act gives promise of being the most
 1ikable yet played by Miss Cleveland.
 A good supporting bill of vaudeville
 has been booked in for the first three
 days in addition to Miss Cleveland,
 the big feature act being J. K Mur-
 ray and Clara Lane who will offer for
 the first time outside New York their
 new musical phantasy which will be a
 revelation as well as a treat for the
 Lyric patrons. Mitchell and Lightner
 have a two men talking act which will
 give any act a close race for first
 honors; the Juggling Jordans are
 known all over the world alike for
 their s4zillful juggling and splendid
 comedy and Wells and Fisher will
 contribute a nice bit of musical com
 edy in a vaudeville way. The added feature of the bill will be what is
 considered the greatest series of pie. lures ever produced a three reel Kline macoIor of 'tNat1lan Ha1e'' wonderful for the authenticity of the principal events. an instructive picture as well as an entertaining one and in the final analysis the most costly three reel film ever shown. It will be at the Lyric but three days and in it. self is a feature worth more than the price of admission asked to see the whole bill. The policy of William Fox is to give quality rather than quan- taty and that Is why the bills offered at the Lyric are so pleaeing-
