LYRIC.

Every performance of "The Big Chance is being given to capacity houses at the popular family play house, the Lyric theatre.
 The Big Chance" tells an interest ing story that holds the attention of everyone from beginning to end Four men and a woman are saved from the life of a dere1ict by their patriotism when the woman, who first awakens to a realization of what is to come, induces the men to enlist. She soon follows as Q member of the Red Cross and two of the men die on the battle field heroes.
 Next week the players will present David Belasoo's pet comedy, Polly With A Past,'' which ran for two sea- sons on Broadway and had several successful runs in other big cities The production is one of the largest that has been seen here this season.

Today Is the last chance to see the features of the aI-star bill at Polls whjGh includes a real, classy musical comedy, a. Salvation l>rmy photoplay szavinE :hree stars in it's cast, and a supporting bill above the average. The musical comedy, "Oh, That Melody" carries several tuneful numbers, composed especially for the production. It has Q chorus Of young women, beautifully gOwned in the latest creations from the Fifth avenue shops Also, it is crammed full of ginger, and first class humOr.
 'FFires of Faith is the screen play that shows the true worth of the SaIvationists worth that was not universally recognized until those workers went to the battIetields for the Tanks in olive drab. The pre- ductiOn was made with the co-opeTa- ton of the Salvation officials, Evan geline Booth and others appearing in some of the scenes.
 Eddie Foley and Babe LaTour have the best act they ever presented here. Eddie's jokes keep the audience in gales of laughter, and Miss LaTOur's voice is worthy of the opera stage.
 One feature of the bill which is unique is the team of talking parrots, Jackie and Billie, the best turn" of its kind ever seen on the POIi book ing. Sandy Shaw, a Scotchman with an understands brogue, springs q lot of new songs and jokes which keep the crowds in good humor. His i'm personation of a, widowed Scotch woman is 2. scream.

THIS DIRECTOR HAS
 JSHEREZD MANY STAGE
 STARS INTO PICTURES
Geo. TerwflIiger Of Vitagraph Declares Nearly All Players
 Are Good for Screen.

George Terwi1liger, Vitagraph dt- rector in charge of the Alice Joyce company, recently won the distinc- ton of having directed more stars than any other man in his profession. The discovery of this fact occurred in a meeting of directors at a. fam ous restaurant on Broadway.
 There were repr esentatives from nearly every company present, and the records of all directors were at the finger tips of those in the party.
 Directors as rule don't hate themselves very much, and the sub ject of conversation. therefore, be- came pretty personal. One happen ed to mention that he had directed some of the most famous players in the world. Another remarked that every ingenue he had ever said Incl lo'' to had become famous.
 In the end the directors began comparing notes systematically. It was found that MT. TerwiIIiger's list of stars included every actress that has been on the legitimate stage in the last five years.
 He had more than a hundred of these stars to his credit. Further, it was found that he had directed most of these in separate pictures during the last two years.
 MT TerwiIliger's varied and pack ed experience revoIved mostly around his services for the Stage Women's s War Relief.
 In that connection the director was called upon to produce dozens of short films, whose casts were made up, of famous stage folk. The films were intended for war camp and wei fare exhibitions.
 Nearly every successful actor or actress is capable of making good on the screen MT. TerwiIliger remark ed in commenting on his experience. You often hear of how some fam Ols actor or actress failed rrlisera bIy when they attempted to act for the screen. I believe that some unto ward accident must have befaIIen such artists during the course of their film work or that they had not been properly coached to take on the new form of expression. Otherwise they probably would not have suffer ed such a reverse.
 Tt may be that a stage player will fall down on his or her first pie ture, but they would certainly adapt themselves in a second one if they should try
 The same basic rules apply. There is a, tremendous difference in the actual action for the stage and screen, but precisely the same dra- matic foundation of rules apply. The screen player can take more time tC perform a, particular characterize tion- He may protract his emot1ona gazes or eXaggerate his gestures anG movements, but the general trend o1 his action and expression must con form to the same dramatic rules as apply to stage action.''

EMPIRE.
"Wonder where those scenes were

"WOnder where those scenes were made. For pure natural beauty they're great" was the comment of one spec lator at the Empire theatre last evening. where Bryant Washburn in his new aramount-Artcraft picture farce, Why Smith Went Home is the attraction He referred to the country surrounding bungalow in which Wa-shburn as Smith, begins his tumultuous honeymoon. It is a rugged mountainous region, in which q IakS of "purest ray serene" nestIes. The locale is the famous Lake Tahoe, among the most beautiful in North ern California. Director Donald Crisp took the entire company there for a week to film the scenes.
