LYRIC

When the curtain rises at the Lyric
theatre tonight the critics will have
an opportunity of viewing the most
recent acquisition to stock releases,
and probably the most enhancing
comedy ever presented in stock.
By special arrangement consum-
mated ,Iby the Poll booking agents the
New Lyric Players are able to repro
duce for the first time in Bridgeport
pals First" a comedy by Lee Will
son Dodd from the novel by Francis
Perry Elliott.
On it's opening night at the Fulton
theatre, where it was given produc-
ton by ]. Fred Zimmerman, Jr., the
New York Herald said: zone Of the
1iveliest surprises of the season. Sus-
pense began in the prologue and
slipped from scene to scene until the
alst curtain when the biggest surprise
of all is sprung"
Throughout the prologue and four
acts audiences at the Lyric theatre
are to have real treat in the full
cast of Lyric players demanded by
the cast of characters. Eleven per-
sons will be seen on the stage through
out, eac1 WITH d ulNGISt VdlSlL anu
characterization. 1t is the supreme
test of excellence and rehearsals 1ndi-
cate that it's presentation here will
equal it's premiere in New York. Mr..
Dudley Ayers has been cast as "Dah-
n.y." and Harold Kennedy as "Doml-
ME-" the two Pals Miss Warda
Howard will be seen as JEAN" Judge
Logan's niece. Each Of the other
members in the piece have special
qualifications for the individual part.
Pals First is a semi-crook play,
introducing all the cleverness of Grim
Janis, but in location far removed
from the prison atmosphere. There Is
none of the sordidness that attaches
to the usual play of this character,
the scenes being found in the sunny
Southland, where the custom and the
dialect smacks of refinement and ed
ucation. The author has infused di-
rect comedy which fingers long in the
mind. To miss this production is to
miss the eliminating triumph Of the
Lyric Players.

about three years in the jungles of At

little account of himself.
Among his frank admissions was the
story of holding off a band of Asian
tees for six days single-handed, while
he kept busy with two rifles and
revolver. Also he had getaway with
few tons of Illicit ivory in the African
jungles and had slain six more bull

clinch with a gorilla.
He had done things like that before,

was nothing at which he ever stopped,
being mostly composed of iron nerve

he dropped back into civilization he
continued to wear the wrist watch

had taken with him through so many
adventures in the equatorial wilds.

Word From Francis.

Washington, Feb. 9.-All fear that American Ambassador Francis might have been expelled from Petrograd by the Bolshoviki was dispelled today by receipt of cablegram from the am bassador, dated. February 5. In his message the ambassador made no ref erence to any conflict with the Fetro- grad authorities.
 Some indications exist of slightly improved relations between the Len inc Trotzky government and the en- bassy. Red Cross supplies recently landed in Russia have arrived at Pet rograd without delay and without charge having been made for their transportation. Until recently even the movement of Red Cross aid in Rus sia was looked upon with suspicion by the Bolsheviki.
