WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

= This weeks offering at the Lyric
theatre Nothing But The Truth was
unanimously voted a winner by the big
audience which packed the play.
house last night, and when it is said
that the Poll Players, surpassed them
selves in the presentation of this
laugh compelling comedy Nothing
But The Truth" is told.
There has been no play at the Lyric
this season which has provoked more
favorable comment among the audi
ence. 1t is staged in a superb man
ner, while the cast leaves nothing to
be desired. Many of the audience who
saw William Collier and the original
company play the piece during it's
long run on Broadway expressed the
opinion openly last night that the
play as presented by the original cast
was no better and not bit more
laughable or entertaining than the
production 'which,.is being presented at
the Lyric this week.
! Seldom has a stock company been
SO fortunate in securing a comedy the
calibre of Nothing But The Truth
in which every line has punch ac-
companied- by a laugh, situations are
built up in a manner which, makes one
gasp while'ythe aintermissions are not
noticeable because the audience is
busy laughing oYer the preceding act
and in anticipation of the next.

PLAZA

The best vaudeville program the
Plaza has offered to our knowledge if4s
several years Is on tapis at the popu-'
lar resort today and tomorrow, 4 and
the seven act film version of the great
stage success, To-day in which,
Florence Reed. who starred in the
stage version, has the leading role, is
beyond question incompatible. '""''
Ryan and Ryan opened the. vaude-'
vile with their eccentric dancing act
in which their speciality on three-feet-
long shoes is the feature and they
took curtain after curtain.
The Follis Sisters and Leroy came
next with their comedy offering en-
titled THE Ginger Snap" with songs
and dances to boot and they also went
over with flying colors. The act. is
neatly and cleverly dressed and staged
Then came the big noise, Jack Rose
with his company which consisted
solely of piano accompanist. Rose is
a nut comedian with a repertoire
of songs that are positively original
and he gets his material over with
such pep" and force that you bring
him back for encores until he's out
of breath and 1t took last nights
crowd over 80 minutes to make him
lose his wind.
Lastly came the Three Kelos with
a routine of song, dance, nonsense
and, principally, acrobatics. Thee seng
and dance part of the act is simply
put in for the novelty. of it but when
these boys start to tumble and fall,
they'll make the most -blooded
human in the world applaud until. his
hands itch.
To-day with Florence Reed might
better be reviewed on some other
page where there would bep lenty OF
space in which to laud the extraor-
binary punch power of the play. 1t
Is many times mightier both as dra-
matte vehicle and as moral medium
than the stage version ever could. be

bound up with a congestion of
