Patrons of the Lyric theatre will
have the pleasure on Thursday (tonite)
of seeing Clara Kimball Young and
Wilton Lackaye in 'Trilby," the splen-
did perturbation of the famous novel
by George DuMaurier. 'Trilby" is
easily one of the greatest film plays
ever made. 1t is not only interesting
but entertaining and grips the atten-
ton of the spectators from start to
finish without letup and by being
thereby different from the ordinary,
that it startles and makes one pause
and think. A Brady made feature for
Monday, ''The Man Who Stood STILL"
with Lew Fields and Doris Kenyon.
This is story which is so true to life
that you will be very apt to forget that
you are merely watching play, but is
one that you will long remember. On
Tuesday, June IL, the best known and
best dressed woman in America, Mrs.
Vernon Castle, will be featured in
'Patria."
