LYRICS NEW SHOW Is
SUMMER SEASONS HIT

Exceptionally fine vocal music,
good comedy and spectacular aerial
acrobatics are features Of unusualnote
on the new bill which was given a
cordial reception by warm weather
amusement seekers who crowded the
Lyric Theatre to the doors at each
of the three performances yesterday.
The new show is smart, breezy and
refreshing in its novelty, from start
to close. And il moves at a merry
pace.
Barry Mccormack, the Irish tenor.
who made his first appearance here
yesterday with his clever associates IN
the romantic Irish comedy playiet,
You Can't Beat Them" established
himself firmly in the affections of his
audiences with his first song. Barry
of the McCormacks is first cousin
of the famous John Mccormack. He
has a delightful singing voice. and
renders each of his songs with de-
licious burr that reflects his national
ity and Tilt and power of express
sion that are captivating. The big
crowds seemed never to tire of him.
He was compelled to respond to re-
peated enthusiastic recalls after each
vocal number.
Barry Mccormack demonstrated
that he is clever as an actor as well
as a good singer, his portrayal of the
magnetic Robert Emmett O'Brien be-
ing thoroughly artistic. Mccormack
was effectively supported in the pref
ty and humorous little dramalette by
Miss Grace Bryan, In the role of Mol
lie Dwyer. and p. S. Barrett, as Mi
chael Dwyer.
The laughing hit of the new show
was the eccentric character comedy
skit. Father and Son." in which Tom
Waters and Eddie Morris displayed
their remarkable versatility. The act
includes everything amusing. from
grotesdue dancing to good character
acting and singing. Tom Waters Is
funnier in vaudeville than ever he
was in musical comedy. The act
scored a distinct hit.
The sensational aerial acrobatics of
the Idania Troupe of five comely
young women. directed by a male as
sistant, was made all the more pic
turesque by the beautifully illumi-
mated electrical apparatus used in the
spectacular stunts of the five girls.
Williams and Segal. a capital come
dian and pretty singing Coincidence,
kept the crowds in high good humor
with nonsensical variety skit called
AT Bug Junction" and the animal
act with which the show opened, The
Two Friends, proved to be a real nov
city. The dogs performance is an
astonishing exhibition of animal sa-
gacity.
The new movies" are, as usual, en-
tertaining and instructive.

Vivian Martin in cover Night"
Dainty, winsome Vivian Martin is
again the bewitching heroine of one
of those bright and sparkling film
comedies which have won her the
patronage and praise Of "movie fans"
throughout the country. World Film
Corporation will on December goth
release the five-part photoplay cover
Night" based on William A. Brady's
successful stage play of the same
name.
Philip Bartholomew wrote the orig
inal play and chose a bright and
lively story for it.
Two young couples, just married,
have made up their minds to spend
their honeymoons in the CatsIill
mountains, up state in New York.
And by a remarkable coincidence they
decide to take the trip by water,
choosing the mammoth Hudson river
steamer 'tHendrick Hudson" as the
bridal equipage.
Everything looks bright and prom
Using for the honeymooners, until
Fate takes hand. In the confusion
of embarkation one bride is left be-
hind on the pier with the wrong hus-
band; the other bride finds herself on
the steamboat with the wrong hus-
band.
The action of the comedy then pro-
ceeds to the Catslin mountains where
the two ill-assorted couples meet and
after many MISUNDERSTANDING finally
rearrange themselves in their proper
order.
James Young directed the picture,
which has many bright and attrac-
tive settings; strong cast and is
brislily acted.

Isis theater Today.

stage settings and decorations. He
designed the settings for 'Ie Nina
ret" in Paris, causing a sensation, and
also for Richhepin's play, "The
Tango" Henry w. Savage engaged
him to design the second act for the
international operetta triumph "Sari,"
which comes to the Opera House, Fri
day, February IL.
His scenery is as simple as Max
Reinhardt's. He splashes it with
some vivid color and this is outlined
in startlingly complimentary in a
broad, flat line.
The "Sari" set is a futuristic inte-
rior with black walls and gold lattices
and two great heaps of cushions that
look like summer sunsets. The cho-
rus of girls against this, arrayed in
most startling and original gowns,
has the affect of a great poster or
Leon Bakst drawing. At first the set
strikes the beholder only as odd and
bizarre, but after seeing it for time
its beauty and impressiveness are re-
allied. Seats go on sale at Central
Pharmacy Wednesday, February 9,
8 a. m.

FLUSH KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS IF
BACK IS ACHING
NOTED AUTHORITY SAYS WE
EAT TOO MUCH MEAT, WHICH
CLOGS KIDNEYS.
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS WHEN
KIDNEYS HURT OR BLADDER
BOTHERS YOU.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast and
in a few days your kidneys viii act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with hthia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer sauses irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive weakness,
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent ithia-water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.-Adv.

SEAT SALE FOR
THAT" MINSTREL
OPENS THURSDAY
CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION AND
PHUNMAKERS WILL ROYALTY
ENTERTAIN PENSACOLA PEG
PIE.

Thursday morning at 8 o'clock the
sale of seats for "That" Minstrel
opens at the Central Pharmacy.
That there is going to be a damned
house, goes without saying. Both
the Carnival aassociation and the
Phunmakers wish to assure Pensaco-
lians that this amateur minstrel is
going to be the best that has ever
been seen here in many years. In
fact if by careful thinking we con-
slider that there is included in the list
of talent every prominent male semi
professional amateur in this city,
there can be no doubt that the show
will be excellent. Everything in the
show is pensacola" Every Joke is
about people and things in Pensacola.
The burlesque on "Everywoman" is
simply full of 'lnocks" against Pen
sacola things and people. The after
piece entitled "That Affair in Lukes
Alley" is nothing more than "take
off" on people in Pensacola who are
popular. The songs are full of topi-
cal verses, in fact everything smirks
Of humOr as pertains to our own
home town. The introduction of the
new song, "Jes to You" by the writer's
Of pensacola Town." as a feature
should win more than passing appro-
val With such names as Messrs.
Kennedy, Hervey, Wagenheim, Roch,
Jones, Frenkle, McGrath, Shuttle
worth, Laney, Ortell, Bell, Calm,
Clarke, Brent, Blount, Donaldson,
Pourtless Bros, Owen, Riley, Lang

to warrant the calibre of the show.

A Futurist Stage Setting in 'Sari."
A new art of decoration for the
stage is replacing the pseudo-realistic
settings that have been the fashion
for the past fifteen or twenty years.
At first sight it strikes the beholder
as almost as bizarre as did the first
exhibition of futuristic and cubistic
paintings. 1t is derived directly from
the futurist painters, modified by the
marvellous settings in the Russian bal
lets and the art of Leon Bakst. The
extravagant color and design craze
which swept across Europe during the
past five years has also influenced the
movement. The purpose of this new
movement is to intensity the pictorial
value of the stage.
Paul Poiret is the exponent of this
new art in designing gowns and house
furnishings, while NJ. Ronsin, who col
laborates with Poiret in that work,
has brought the new art to bear on
