Fox's LYRIC THEATRE
tBy the Fox Lyric Press Agent.)


 "A Close CaII'' at the Fox Lyric yes- terday gave Eleanor Cleveland a chance to show her versatility. From a clever brainy newspaper woman of the day before she portrayed an East Side Maggie who was stolen when a child and raised in the slJlms only to be restored to her wealthy parents. As the girl who was held under the thumb of a designing woman she all ways showed traits of a refined breed ing and had the courage to stand by the sweetheart who helped her through her struggle for an honest life Miss Cleveland was superb in the part of Bess and gave it fire and animation without using all the orig fna1 slang of the part. Guy Earring ton is always good in everything he plays and as the lover who was on the square he gave an elevated idea of the better class of that district of New York that is supposed to be pop ulated with ag7unmen and thugs Miss Lewis had a part written in the skit for her and she too made the best of it. MT Maltese also appeared in the cast. Next Monday, will be the prem fer sketch of them all, that deals with the period of RicheIieu, King Louis XIII, Duke of Buckingham. Anne of Austria, and few other celebrities of the cold world. There will be eight Characters in the sketch and elaborate costumes will be worn-
 The SHOW NILES OAcFC- land is good. The American Comedy Four sang and talked themselves into favor, and Adelyn Estees proved the best single woman of the season with her pleasing voice, songs, personality, and swagger gowns. The Three Mad caps are home fresh from a trip around the world with their grotesque acrobatic and dancing stunts, and made good with their novelty. Sims and Thompson, two colored entertain CTS along the line of Williams and Walker. was the fifth act in the wheel. Keeping Up With Hubby was dou- bly Interesting for 1t showed some swell gowns and wraps and a fine vein of comedy and 8 race between man and wife that was corker as to who could be the best sport The black and white pictures cover many inter esting subjects.
