DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
Young Minister'S Passion for seif-sae-
rIfice Had Results That Might
Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one of the
charity workers of New York to say:
Marriage itself will not be able to
Quench Miss Gould's passion for CIV
ing. Apropos to this passion, she once
told me story.
"There was a young minister, the
story ran, who. being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
"The young minister's district con-
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats. gloves. overcoats and trousers.
Eyes. time and again he would give
away Ais clothes. foolishly and reG,t-
lessly. piece by piece, until"
Here the charity worker smiled.

The pictures were fine the opening day but they were a hundred per- cent better Tuesday for Manager Shields had the operators there early in the morning eliminating some of the flickeringe and unsteady effects The hospital scene with it's fire and the saving of patients is perhaps the most popular for it tells thrilling story of love and rescue The Fisher mans Luck is another demonstration of what Charles Urban the inventor has accomplished in animated co1ored photograph phy- The travel scenes through Scotland and the drill of the soldiers orphans in England brought many a hand for the wonderful drill execution of the boys and the colored background. These pictures have been voted the best in vaudeville this season. They will be changed twice weekly the same as the regular vaudeville and black and white pio- lures.
 The Kinemaco1or is not the only good thing at the Lyric this week for there is a corking show. The Kinema- color pictures did not cost $20.o00 but they cost enough so MT. Fox would have been justified in cutting the show but instead he is giving the best show of the season, with William Lamp and company as the headliner in the dramatic offering The First Flight Up'' which is a strong story we'll staged and acted. Williams and his dog Spot are another big feature, and so are Lambert and Van singing comedians, Lawrence and Tanner in rural play1et, Kay and Kay classy singers and the O1de Brothers two wonderful acrobats. The usual num- Der of black and white motions pie lures are shown. An entire new bill all around comes Thursday with en- tire new Kinemacolor pictures and Lottie Williams and company as the vaudeville head1iner.
