FOX CLOSES DEAL,
TAKES OVER LYRIC
Will Start Policy of Vaudeville
And Photo Plays Within
Few Weeks

Confirmation came. from New York
today that William Fox, the New
york vaudeville man, has secured con-
troll of the Lyric theatre. Within a
few weeks Mr.. Fox will add the Main
street playhouse to his circuit, max
ing u theatre in his chain of houses
devoted to popular vaudeville and
photo plays.
Mr. Fox began invading New Eng
land about a year ago. His first step
in this direction, was the securing of
the Grand Opera house, New Haven,
which he opened under dubious aus
pices. and within a month, was COM
PEELED to extend the seating capacity
of the house to accommodate the pa
irons The Grand opera House at
New Haven had long been a doubtful
holding. 1t was a failure insofar as
big productions were concerned Mr..
Fox kept the house open all through
the hot summer. The Nelson theatre
at Springfield, Mass, was the next.
It repeated the success of the New Ha-
ven House and then New Britain, Hart
ford, Worcester. Brockton, Holyoke,
and other cities began building thea
tres and leasing them to Fox.
Among the Fox theatres in Greater
New York, are, The Audubon, at
Broadway and 165th street The Gro
tOna, fremont and Park avenues, The
Riverside, at Broadway and SO Street
and the Memo at Broadway and
Cathedral Parkway. The style of en-
tertainment offered by Mr. Fox, is
termed popular vaudeville. It OBJ
tains it's name through the scale OF

An Arab In the Rain.

"@Fhose who are not accustomed 20
rain are frightened by it." says a.
writer. 81 once saw an Arab rained
upon for the first time. He was alb
5ectly terrified and demanded to have
his passage paid from the county
Sicily-in which the dread phenomenon
occurred. He had been conveyed from
the Sahara, think, by European,
whose servant he was, and he evidently
thought his master was behaving abom-
inably to him in permitting him TO get
wet. BY the first steamer he returned
to his native desert, abandoning excel
lent wages and shaking the raindroDs
furiously from his slippered feet"

Near Lienkiang, in the Chinese prov

area perhaps fifteen acres. By the

tinguished officer of state, before
which as guardians stand facing each
other two colossal statues, one repre-
senting a civil and the other a military
official. Long years have they stood
there in Hfelike attitude until at last,
in popular belief, they have acquired
life and power. The people have re-
