At the Lyric

Laughing honors this week at the
Lyric are captured by W. II. Macart
and Ethylnne Bradford in their clever
comedy playlet, "The Second Genera
tion." 1t Is ore of the most entertain
ing tabloid comedies that Is offered in
vaudeville and has the added attrac-
tion of being "up-to-now" and clean. 1t
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large
audience that filled every seat in the
popular theatre and fully deserved the
very generous applause
Mr.. Macart plays the part of re-
tired brickmaker who has become the
political boss of the district. His whim-
steal Irish witticisms and mannerisms
were a pleasant contrast with the ex-
aegerated portrayal of the Irish char
acteristics of the past. Miss Bradford
as his daughter Mary Ellen, with So
ciety aspirations, Mr. Hunt as Dennis,
his son, and Mr.. Ennis as Patricius
Monahan. politician, were very accept
able.
Bud Fisher, the famous cartoonist,
and creator of Mutt and Jeff" was
given a warm reception. He reproduced
the characters that have brought him
national fame, much to the delight of
the audience. His work in drawing car
in keeping with his usual clever work.
The entire bill is of the best, every
act being one of merit. William Egdi-
vettu's posing horse and dogs has been
truly named "The Act Beautiful" pre-
eenting a series of hunting scenes that
are superbly posed by the principals
and their animal assistants. Possibly
the best pose was THE Start" which
included all the characters In the act.
The opening number, the Alexander
Brothers. billed as the worlds great
est tal1 bouncers, was very clever and
pleasing, the artists showing wonder

entertainers. presented a bright and
breezy singing and dancing art and
| created merriment through the medium
of clean and clever funmalsing.
John Ray and Grace Hilliard in a
| sural comedy sketch in two scenes
gave very enjoyable performance. Mr..
Ray as "Johnathan Hopper of Hoppers-
ville," gave an excellent Interpretation
! of "rube" character. Miss Hilliard as
"Florabell st. Clair" of the chorus
was "chic" enough for the part. They
present In "Hello Sally a bright and
witty sketch of music and comedy in

sic.
