 CONTAIN AT TIE
 LYRIC FOR WEEK
Programme of Keith Vaude- vile Includes Some of the Most Extraordinary
 Attractions

This notable comedian and enter tainer extraordinary will be assisted by Alice Sher and strong supporting caste, there being 25 talented performers in the company.
 Tn addition to this big feature other vaudeville feature attractions will be pre- sented, including Elrey Sisters, vaude- ville's classiest skaters ahd dancers, Ierner and Ward in songs and qubs and Knapp and Cornalla in potpourri of vaudeville.

 The 1917 version of the Sunnyside of Broadway is an entirely new show with the exception of the name, Max Bloom, Alice Sher and Becky, the horse. Some of the features of the production this season are a scene in a moving picture studio, a rathskeller scene where Max does a drum speciality, a rag-time bur 1esque drama, burlesque trio with patri- otic songs, Alice Sher's dancing speciality, specialties by Ralph Creeden, Barney Duffy, and the big novelty number, The Girl You Hit Is the Girl You Get, i'll which the audience participates.
 All in all the Sunnyside of Broadway of 1917 is unquestionably the most pre- tentous and best show that Max Bloom ever appeared in. The company claims to carry the prettiest chorus of any mu- sical comedy that has ever played here.
 The act is featured with pretty girls, costly scenery, beautiful costumes, clever comedy and catchy songs.
 Elrey Sisters are now making success fu1 tour on the southern vaudeville cir cult, and they are coming in for much praise iii the cities where they have ap- peared Both are clever dancers and skaters and they present a most pleasing entertainment.
 Lerner and Ward will entertain with songs and jcsas and are said to have some very easchy songs and some very new jokes in their repotire. They are well known vaudeville entertainers.
 Bob Knapp and Chris Cornalla are versatile entertainers. They are acrobats conediens, singers and dancers and are highly entertaining
