Lew English, who plays the part
of the negro elevator boy in THE
Family Cupboard" at the Orpheum
this week, was one of the assistant
managers of 1.-THE College Hero" in
which 700 Newarkers won histrionic
laurels last winter. In his present
role Mr.. English fully sustains the
high opinion he won for himself In
the previous play.
The last opportunities of enjoying
Nina Phillips's performance of
when the Cats Away" and a sur
rounding bill of fine variety at the
Lyric, are offered today.
The new bill tomorrow will present
Miss Phillips in a new sketch entitled
THE Woman Who Began Over
Again." 1t is of a serio-comic
nature and bids fair to score even
more than her present excellent play
let.
Another big feature of the bill and
one of the most important that have
graced the local variety stage in some
time is that of the Twelve Georgia
Campers talented entertainers made
up of some of the members of the ia
nous Smart Set Company. They will
present q whirling melange of up-to-
the moment songs, instrumental mu-
sic and comedy.

ing and dancing comedietta, are
among others on the bill for the last
half of the week at the Lyric.
Miss Ruth Bonnaire whose i'm
personation of the blushing shipper
ing young bride in this weeks per-
Torrance of THE Family Cupboard"
at the Orpheum has given the audi
ences so much amusement and oc-
casion for laughter, is one of the
newer members of the Forsberg Play
ers, but one of whom much may DO
expected in the way of histrionic
accomplishment in the near future.
Manager Forsberg who discovered
her two years ago with a moving
picture company. being impressed by
her evident earnestness and desire
to succeed, gave her an opportunity,
which she quickly took advantage of.
with the result that she has been on
the regular stage since.
Miss Bonnaire is quite striking in
appearance, and impresses one with
her resemblance to Eva Tanguay,
with her nervous quickness of man
ner. Her methods, too, are singular
Iv like those of 1.-The inimitable Eva"
Barney Bernard, who has added
Iaurels to his fame as Abe Potash in

the leading Broadway producers. This
is not her first attempt at play
