ROIIICKING FUN SHOW
AT THE LYRIC TODAY

The most lavishly costumed song
andgirl act in vaudeville this season
is Fashions a la carte" which will
have prominent place on the new bill
at the Lyric, commencing with the
matinee performance today. Fashions
a Ia carte" is a merry extravaganza,
gorgeous as to scenery and costumes
and teeming with good comedy num-
bers. The six models. who hold the
center of the stag. are all clever
vaudeville artists and each contributes
sprightly specially. The songs dances
and ensembles are staged with the
same Attention to detail given to a
first class production OF comic opera.
Two old favorites on the new bin
are Clayton Kennedy and Matte ].
Rooney. Miss Rooney. a clever singing
and dancing comedieEne. is a daugh-
ter of the late Pat Rooney. the most
famous rough character comedian OF
his time AMI the best dancer the vau-
deville stage has seen in the last fifty
years. Matte is chip off the old
block. She Ia versatile and has a per-
sonality thai fairly radites good hui
NOR. Kennedy and Rooney are doing
Il diversified whirl of variety, Miss
Rooney's dancing being an especially
attractive feature.
Then there Is Leonardo, the Nea-
politan musical wizard. VINO excelS on
the Hawaiian steel guitar and the vio-
lin. Leonardo IS an artist to his finger
tips, but he does not confine his rem
dering to classical music. His object
is to please every taste in music.
Hence his repertoire OF instrumental
music is extensive. embracing the
most frivolous as we'll as serious Sc
lections.

Of funmakerg, have a rollicking va
riety act and Paul La VAR and bro
ther will supply thrills ana shocks

fact that the peace congress will deal
only with government having
prima facie chance OF stability.
This idea is believed by officials
here, permeates Bavaria, the next
greatest component OF the empire to
the old kingdom OF Prussia. and that
these two former Kingdoms will be
able to present by Inc time the con-
gress meets not only the substance
but the form of "a social or demo-
cratic government. II seems certain
that the allied armies will go to Berlin
and set I'd military government
which would last under martial law
till a stable government had been
set up by the representative German
people" so far. observers here. even
in very high places do not regard
this as a probability. Their view is
that the workingman of Germany

cause he is neither a nihilist or an
anarchist

unusual powers Of deduction, starts
out to hunt down crime and GRIMM

The scenes are laid in New York city
on a lighsless and fcggy night Arthur

escorted young lady who very clever
ly extracts the would be detectives

him that she has lost her way in the
dark and coyly asks to be escorted
to the Winter Garden where she has
an engagement.
The gay young actress sets the cogs
of activity going when she puts in her
appearance the next day at the mar
ried young mans residence and where
he is forced to introduce her to his
mother-in-.aw as his niece who has
just arrived in the city on a visit
Everything goes along smoothly and
merrily until his wife's unexpected

time young Arthur Fairfax has been

Well. he has a deuce of a time

though he is going to get caught

1t is agreed among students of mass

that great surprise is expressed by
