ADJUSTMENTS
At The Lyric

'Since the Days of ST. with Ball and West, captures the first honors at the Lyric this week, for pathos and comedy are mingled in an unusual manner. The Manikin Mimics Is an odd act, wonderfully manipulated. with characters that are un- usually true to life. It will prove a won derful act for children at the matinee.
 The summer policy of the Lyric will be next week. The matinees will commence at o'clock, and at night there will be continuous performance nightly from 7:3O to 10:30 o'clock, and the patrons may come when they like and remain as long as they please. No reserved seats will be sold, and the public can occupy any seat in the house.
