The Woman's Party is composed ex-

twelve suffrage states, and it has grown
so rapidly that it now boasts a mem
bership of one thousand greater than
the Congressional Unions membership
in the thirty-six nOn-suffrage states.
The proposed union of these twoi m

by politicians as evidence that the
fight for passage of the federal suffrage

At The Lyric

wonderful acrobat, a sprightly revue and three other acts gave an unusual appeal to the bill at the Lyric theatre last night.
 Lilyan and Boggs, presenting novelty dancing act, served as the opening num- Der and presented rather remarkable dancing act. The two girls offered a variety Of dances and were decidedly talented.
 In turning clear lights. flips and flaps George Cunningham and Herman Marion surpassed all previous teams of acrobats that have been seen at the Lyric. Enough comedy was interspersed to color the act. The manner in which one of the team threw his body about and landed upon his feet was followed by warm responses of applause.
 The Broadway Revue, with Eva LaRua as the comedienne, scored a hit. The six girls composing the chorus were att tired in dazzling costumes and the mu- sical numbers were selected from the big successes in New York. Eva LaRue was Imaginable in the comedienne role.
 Dramer and Kent, Two Black Dots,' presented an attractive blackface slsit. while the Weise Family closed with a pole balancing act. Both of the num- bers were well received.
 The bill is one of the best that the Lyric has presented this season.

ADJUSTMENTS
Bernhardt is StiU Bernhardt

Considerable interest is caused amons |theatregoers by the fact that Sarah Bernhardt will appear at the Jefferson tonight and present scenes from her famous repertoire. The plays she of- fers tonight will be Champ deHon- neur," Camille" complete one-act play, "Roslin" and Cleopatra" The act chosen from Camille" is the final one, and the one from "Cleopatra" is the death scene.
 In these war-like times a presenta- tion of Champs d'Honneur' is graphic and interesting. The courage and ideal ism of Sarah Bernhardt finds sympa- thetic response in the study of this character, for the spirit of Bernhardt is epic and indealistic to degree. Age does not deter her from a place in the sun, or keep her from being a vital, living factor in the economy of our workaday world.

Ballet Russe at the Jefferson

What Serge de Diaghileff, whose re- nowned Ballet Russo is touring this country by arrangement with the Met ropolitan Opera company of New York, desires most to emphasize with regard to his ballet is that it is a co-ordina- tion of all the arts. There is drama more than the average play can boast, music the equal of grand opera, and such riotous and bizarre combinations of color from the weird brush of Leon Bakst as have never been seen before Add to the magic of this ensemble the perfect technique of the Imperial Rus sian Dancing school, plus the rigid routine imposed by M. de Diaghileff and the extraordinary result is ac- counted for. It is this great diversity of appeal that made the ballet the ar tistic sensation of last year.
 Following triumphanta1 engage ment in Spain the ballet has returned to this country, and with it's famous artistes Nijinsky, Bolm, the petite and graceful Lopokova, the statuesque beauty, Revalles and the remarkable ensemble of imperial dancers is now on tour in America. The Ballet Russo will be at the Jefferson Thursday, Feb- ruary 1.
