LYRIC THEATER

!. Warren Kerrigan is the attrac tion at the Lyric today in the new Victor two-reel drama, presented by the new Victory company known as the Dramatic Successes Feature Com pany, with a fun company of stars in one of the most thrilling special features Kerrigan has ever worked in. Sealed Orders
 Photoeraphically, the production is marvel. Some of the effects ob- tained are absolutely unique and their beauty and distinctiveness would make Sealed Orders suffic- iently unusual to win popular ap proyal even if the story was mediocre and unworthy, which it is far from. being,
 The plot around which the piece Is filmed is a simple one. Throush a cleyerly conceived combination of circumstances, Lieut. Van Houven is believed to be a traitor to his coun- try. which has just then gone to war. His father, the chief admiral setting his duty 10 his country ahead of his affection as a parent, sternly orders the courtmartial which condemns his son to death. How the lieutenant finally is succored and his good name again restored to him through the efforts of his devoted and misjudged wife. constitutes the climax, but this by no means should be taken as an indication that the tale is the ordi- nary melodramatic type. Instead it teens with tense situations, scenes and incidents.

In it there is the death and much suf- leriug to two well known persons and two others are accused. The mystery is solved when the deadly trantula is brought out of an old Mexican idol. This is the kind of a reel that will keep you guessing from start 10 finish, and youu see a real live tarantula before the camera, too.
 "The Mansion of Soos" is one of those oldtime stories that has enter taiued many readers and is now be- fore the camera for the first time. The scenes heinz laid in Philadel phia, there is all that oldtimc charm characteristic of the early Quaker in tlc same.

WITH THE STAGE, AND THE PICTURE PLAYERS
AT THE PRINCESS

This is the final day for the present bill at the Princess, and those who
 have failed to see it up to this time should make it point to do so to- day There are some splendid big
 features to this show which make it one of especial interest.
 Frank Milton and the DeLong Sis
 ters, in their merry railway sketch, 'TWelty Minutes Layover at Alfalfa Junction" have made some special concessions to Hot Springs audiences, in that they change their act nightly. The sketch itself is one of the merri- est farces ever put on at the Princess, filled to the brim with light and rapid fire comedy and batter, and closin- with a splendid musical number It is in the musical number that they give their variation. At the first night show they close with saXaphone trio, which is a real musical gem, and for the second show they change this part of the act, giving instead a piano accordeon trio. in which they play ac- cordeons which are new and cost them S1,5O0. It is the finest set of these instruments ever seen ia Hot Springs.
 The Three Emersons in Fun in a Swimming Pool' have one of the best acrobatic acts, staged in an entirely new and novel manner Their act consists of some of the most se1sa' tional casting and hand catching and ever seen, and the swim ming pool stage setting makes a de- pretty background for the splendid act
 The Two Loves in their novelty rope casting act; Lewis and Norton in song and batter and some graceful dancing. and Leo Beers in his de luxe number, all contribute to the splendid variety and charm of the bill
 This bill closes it's engagement in Hot Springs with the last show to- night and coming with the Thursday mid week change is anotAer big cir cult booking, one of the real vaude- vile gems of the season, with plenty of music and comedy and some sen sationa features that contribute so largely to the succes of a vaudeville show. Each week now brings bigger and better acts and the shows are in- creasing in entertainment interest with every change.
