At the Lyric


 The popularity of the Lyric theatre was evidenced yesterday when two capacity audiences filled the pretty and well ap- pointed playhouse, and judging from the liberal applause and frequent encores. thoroughly enjoyed the splendid bill that is offered this week. While the holiday of yesterday may have had something to do with the afternoon crowd the night performa nee was attended by the people who last season made each Monday night society event. The bill is among the best of the Keith vaudeville that has been shown in the city. Comedy pre- dominates. but it is of the Kind that makes one long for more.
 There is one feature on the bill that calls for notice, namely the Pathe Weekly pictures. These are among the best that has ever been shown and those who fail to see them lose an instructive and en- tertaining act.
 The headliner, Barnolds animals. is un- doubtedly the greatest animal act ever seen in the city If is a delight to grown people well as the children. The cast included about dozen dogs and mon keys which go through the performance unaided and give wonderful piece of pantomime. Dan. the original inebriate dog actor, is a star of the first magnitude and eonvulsed the audience with his antics.
 Mama, the Parsian dansedse, assisted by Mons Alexis, presented a cyclonic dancing number that was bewidering in wild whirls and dazzling agility of the two dancers. Mama presents fetching appearance and dances with reckless abandon, but with grace and skill. The stage setting was a work of art and in keeping with the high character of the act.
 Frank Milton and the Delong Sisters gave Commute performance that was scream from beginning to end. The trio are clever entertainers of the rapid fire order. The announcement for the week by Milton is the cleverest and most original piece of comedy seen on the local stage for many d day.
 sherman Van and Hynan. in a melange of melodious nonsence. Emil Suber. blacis face comedian, and Mat keefe, a yodeler with an excellent voice, were very good.
 William Walter Jones as the knight of the road' gave a very excellent imper- sonation of a tramp and sang well.
 The opening number, "A Little Bit of Everything" by the four McNallys is decidedly one of the most versatile acts in vaudeville and was clever. novel and original c. II. M.
