LYRIC

That wonderfully clever comedy, Tt Pays To Advertise" will be shown at the Lyric theater next week twice daily beginning with the matinee on
 Monday. The production is not pre- scented to entertain the serious mind
 ed, but there is plenty of clean com edy in its lines to entertain and amuse everyone from the time the curtain rises until it falls upon the final scene. Tt Pays To Advertise"
 is one of those comedies in which the humor is irresistible.
 This evening will see the final pres entation of "1'he Unknown Voice" which has scored so successfully all
 this week. The story is most unusual
 and the audience is kept guessing l throughout as to who perpetrates the cold-blooded murder of woman, but it is cleared up in the last act when
 the crime is confessed by the one least suspected.
 Repeating the successes scored with
 the big double programs which have become a feature at the Lyric theater on Sunday evenings the manageme nt
 has again succeededr In contracting for two big feature pictures beside its regular attractions. William S. Hart l will be seen in one of the best fea- lures, '"The Patriot" as will Charlie
 Chaplin, the worlds greatest screer comedian, in funny sidesplitter
 Then there will be several reels of the Hearst Pathe News, a travelogue de 1 scriptive of lands that are interest ing. and a concert throughout by the famous Lyric orchestra. There will
 be the usual two performances each
 with a double feature and the prices
 of admission are as usual at these
 shows,

Scotia's Greatest Bard
 Is Commemorated Today

In the calendar of the Scots the twenty-fifth of January is ever sacred to the memory of Scoha's greatest bard, Robert Burns, who was born I160 years ago today. It is now near ly 8 century and a quarter since Burns completed that all to brief life's journey from the little house of clay with one room where he was born, to the little house with one room where he now sleeps" and each year has witnessed an increasingly general observance of his natal day. | Wherever there are men of Scotch blood the name and fame of Robert Burns will be lovingly remembered today, and in many cities there will be public observances of the anniver- sary.
 While it is naturally upon Scotch men that Burns exercises the great est influence, the ploughman poet | is not without a host of admirers ir all lands. His sweet and gentle in fuence has permeated the world and has made a lasting impress upoT humanity.
 | Perhaps the most devoted or the non-Scotch devotees of Burns was the late Col. Robert G. Ingersoll. Sc great was Pagan Bob's" devotion tC the Scotch bard that his friend, Rev Henry Ward Beecher, facetiouslS suggested as the most appropriate epitaph for IngersoITs grave the words, Robert Burns" Ingersol was purely English in descent, bu no Scotchman ever exceeded him il his admiration of Burns.
 It was while on pilgrimage to tn, birthplace of Burns in 1878 that In. gersoll wrote the well known line! which begin:
 Though Scotland boasts a thou sand names
 Of patriot, king and peer,
 The noblest, grandest of them al Was loved and cradled here"
 This poem, thanks to Rev. Dr John Watson, Ian MacIaren," nov occupies a place of honor on tn walls of the Burns cottage at Alb way.
