IYCEUM THEATER.

A crowded house was presented
with one Of the best bills of the sea-
son, at tho Lyceum last evening,
when the theater was reopened. This
wonderful program pleased every
single solitary person, young and old
alike This big show is to remain
two more days and no one can af-
ford to miss it. Jack Piclford is ap
pearing in the great screen success
SANDY. Mr. Pickford is assisted by
dainty little Louise Huff. The picture
has been well directed and photo
graphed and the various roles are in
terpreted by players who appreciate
their art and who painstakingly con-
tribute their best efforts to making
the picture a treat. Sandy is q
photoplay of those absorbing quail
ties which make it essentially one
which can be viewed again and again
with increasing delight. A horse
race, a smash-up, q lively scrap to
save a girl-there'S everything in this
picture. The other feature starring
the famous star, Henry Il. Walthall, is
with Hoops of Steel. This picture
is a brand new one and only goes to
show that Mr.. Walthall is the man of
the hour. It is q story of mystery
embellished with all the attractive
ness of the virile life of western Tex
as. told with modern twist that
adds much to the interest and sus-
pense. The vaudeville program is one
of the best yet shown. 1t includes
the great Acrobatic Review of 1918.
This act aroused the tremendous ap-
plause of everyone who saw the show
last night. Johnny Wood is a clever
entertainer and The Dancing Millers
present an act of splendid quality.
Douglas Fairbanks is coming Thurs
day.
