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

Does the husband own the wife af- ter the ceremony making them man and wife has been performed? Is she his property to do with as he wills or has she still the right to do> and and act as she pleases so long as she retains her self respect and does not cast reflections upon his name? These are but two of the questions around which is written that wonderfully sensational dream of society life, Bought and Paid For" which opens at the Lyric theater this afternoon to be presented twice daily for the bal ance of the week. The production will be presented by the Poli Players with Miss Alice Clements in the lead ing role of the telephone girl who marries for his money the million aire, who is portrayed by Clay Gle ment.
 The production is from the versa tile and clever pen of George Broad hurst and IS replete with situations fairly bristling with tenseness and heart interest. There is a thrill in almost every line with just enough COIneuy lHl0TSp6IS6u 10 Keep l16 du- dfence in a good humor throughout. The comedy, is furnished by a S14 a week shipping clerk and his wife, who is the sister of the girl who mar ries the millionaire and who looks up to his brother-in-law because the latter is in a position to assist him along the road to success.
 The story of Bought and Paid For" is that of poor young girl who | marries a millionaire thinking that | his money will make up for her lack | of love for him. She loves him later, 1 however, but not before some start | ling situations are presented leading 1 up to a daring climax.
 In the first act on their wedding
 night the hustIa nd Is drunk. When
 he is full he Is of the loving kind and when he demands that his wife love l him in return and she refuses, he in | forms her that he has bought and
 paid for her and has the right to de-
 mand anything he desires. The eli
 max to this act comes when he breaks
 in the door to her boudour and forces
 an entrance which Is resented by her
 to no avail. She leaves him after
 returning the expensive gifts he has
 given her but they are later recon
 ciled and there is a happy ending.

They are sure of a big reception and judging from the manner they have been received Tn other cities their appearance in their | home town ought to be the signal for big demonstration.
 George and Paul Hiskman, are a team with one of the best entertain ing records in the business and their present offering entitled "The Re- hearsal'' beside being of the funniest nature is crammed full of merit and guaranteed to keep the coldest audi ence in an uproar of laughter with its original comedy, singing and danc- | ing.

EMPIRE

Sessue Hayakawa, star of the emo tional dramatic film and author of in ternational dramas, finds an unusually high-class medium for his talents in His Birthright," which heads the program offered at the Empire today and tomorrow, one of the most re- markable plays of its kind ever screened.
 His Birthright'' involves the for tunes of young Japanese who is de- termined to avenge his mothers hon or and to punish the author of his be- ing, who is at the time the story opens an American admiral.
 Hayakawa himself is responsible for the effective interpretation of lit- tie understood Oriental character, and he succeeds in making Yukio, the hero of the story, a most lovable type.
 Tsuru Aoki, who plays Saki San in the production, is really Mme Hayakawa, wife of the star. She is a finished actress, having been asso- ciated with high class dramatic or ganization of Tokio.
 Marin Sais, who plays the lead, is known as the finest horsewoman in the photoplay world, is a fine actress also.

''PARIoR, BEDROOM AND BATH"

"PARIJOR, BEDROOM AND BATH"
 The dramatic sensation of the sea son is promised in "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" the new farce comedy by c. W. Bell and Mark Swan, which A. H. Woods presented at the Park theatre for an engagement of nights, beginning this evening, direct from it's sensational success at the Republic theatre, New York. The story con- cerns itself with the elopement of an impeccable young man who suddenly decides to live up to his wifes con- ception of him as a heart breaker. The young husband more than fulills expectations. It would be unfair to the authors refreshingly original plot to divulge more than the merest out line of the story. Indications are that Manager A. H. Woods will sur prise his most ardent followers as a producer of brisk and tangy Ameri- can farce. He has selected a nota- ble company.
