At NeW Lyric

When Dreams Come True" the
first musical comedy written by Philip
Bartholomae, author of Little Miss
Brown over Night and VERY Good,
Eddie will be the first musical COM
edy of the season at the New Lyric
theater, Tuesday matinee and night.
Silvio Helm, who composed the music,
will be remembered as the of
the scores of Marie Cahill's most pro-
hounced successes, and OF other we'll
known works.
The three acts Of when Dreams
Come True" are entirely different in
outline, the first carrying some dra-
hatic touches, as well as a number Of
comic situations; the second being
farciGal, and the third having musical
and dancing features.
The play contains nearly a score Of
danclng numbers, showing the newest
famous and popular dances.
The song hits are many, and include
among others, when Dreams Come
True Who's the Little Girl?" Come
Along to the Movies" You, Dear. You"
and Dear World"
Bringing Up Father" one OF those
sprightly musical comedies, with a
wealth Of singing and dancing girls
and a corps of real comedians, will be
the attraction for Saturday and Sun
day at the New Lyric.
This attraction Is based upon George
McManus' famous cartoons, and the
producers have spared no e in
cornering good comedians and Charming
girls, and the comedy is Of the kind
that makes everyone laugh.

With the Sunday matinee and night
performances, the New Lyric Stock
company, which has been entertaining
Memphis theater-goers for the past

adleu to Memphis.
Most of the players will return to
New York. where many Of them have
other engagements and where not a
Few OF them make their permanent
homes.
Starting practically unknown to Mem
phis theater-goers, the New Lyric play
ers slowly. but surely, built up u
patronage that during the last few
weeks has been most gratifying. II was

that the. players first gained widespread

Road shows, many % which had
already been booked, we're clamoring
for an open door In Memphis, and be-

continuance Of stock with only a few
nights open each week.

the several big shows now listed, Is EN-
gaging others, which will keep the
amusement-seeking public thoroughly
entertained during the remainder Of the
season,
