EMPIRE

Dustin Farnum was seen to great advantage in "The Virginian," from the book by Owen Mister, and the play Of Kirk La Shelle, at the Elm pire theatre yesterday.
 The Virginian" is in 400 scenes. required q cast of 300 players, and is composed of five beautiful parts
 Almost everyone is familiar with the story of "The Virginian.' his quick temper, his magnificent personality, and his power to make friends; his ar dent worship for Molly, the little school teacher, and his devotion to duty, when he is compelled to hang his best friend, Steve. The reissue by Paramount of this excellent pie ture is most compelling.
 The Nirginian' in book form was most interesting; in play form it was cone of the sensations of it's period, but as a photoplay, it surpasses in every detail, both the book and the stage production, and is one of the most thrilling photoplay seen here in many months. The play will be repeated today.
 The cast Of the "Virginian" was Especially selected by Cecil B. DeMine, the director general of the I.asky forces. and contains many faces pleas antly remembered in later photoplays which achieved popularity and fame.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes just loosen in their sockets and fall off the next day if you will apply directly upon the corn few drops of a drug called frcCzone, says Cincinnati authority
 Aou merely put, a drop or two of this freeszone on the tender, touchy corn today and instantly the corn stops hurting, then tomorrow some time you may find the old torturous pest somewhere in your stocking, having fallen off entirely without a particle of soreness, pain or irrita- tion.

LYRIC

Success comes to the successful without much coaXtng and 1t is this that proba bly, accounts for the crowds of pleasure seekers who have been fiockinE to the Lyric theater this week during the presentation of "A Stitch in Time" by the popular and versatile Poli Players, Each per formance has seen every seat oCCu- pied and standing room has been brought into requisitiOn at several. While 1t is admitted that this is due in part to the excellence of the pro- auctions that have been offered for the approval of the Lyrics patrons much of the credit belongs 10 the Polt Players who have worked hard to gain favor. That they have been successful goes without saving for one has only to attend one perform ance at this very popular playhouse to find out that this Is true.
 "A Stitch in Time" has been des- ignated as a comedy but 1t is more than that for it contains a little of everything that makes a production of real merit While humor pre- dominates there is an element of heart interest and pathos contained therein which will appeal to the most critical.
 "A Stitch in Time" tells the story of a poor girl who is assisting her mother who is ill at cleaning a stu dio building in the Artists section in old Greenwich village in New York She meets and falls in love with an artist who cntertains a similar feel ing for her. Of course obstacles are offered but in due course of time these are surmounted and they are married and live happy ever after.
 Continuing the good work which they have started with such won derful success the PoH Players vii present for next weeks attraction the powerful drama, "A Fool There Was enc of the most thrilling produc- tions of the modern age. Miss Alice Clement will portray the character of the vampire woman, and those who have seen her in other charac ters of q similar nature already know what to expect. The man il the story who forgets wife and fam fly in his infatuation for the yam pire and wrecks his own life will bt portrayed by Clay Clement, and hi best efforts will be called upon.

BENNY LEONARD STARTS HIS 1873
 CASUALTY LIST

Philadelphia, Jan. Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion of the world, celebrated his Happy New Year" by giving Paul Doyle rice lambasting in this fair village. Watching the festivities of Benjamin were quite a thrcng of noble citizens.
 Benny taught Doyle quite a few things about box fighting. He threw more gloves Pauls way than the lat ter ever dreamed of. In the second session Benny landed firmly on Paurs chin. Naturally the only thing Paul could do was to flop. He Topped and, while in a Hopping posture, waited until eight was tolled.
 One would imagine that stopping Benny's mean right would inCulcate caution into an opponent. Not for this lad Doyle. He just kept sailing in and consequently stopped many a | walIop with his chin and tummy.
 He is a pretty tired-out lad this | evening is Paul, but the thought of | lasting six rounds with the cham pion sort of buoys him up. Leonard Looks Good. Leonard entered the ring looking much lighter than ne has In many months Steady training has come close to whipping him in shape. With a battle or two more under his belt he will be the dazzling champion Of old
 Doyle is about Leonard's weight but has a slight shade on height and reach. These attributes, however were of little consequence.
 In the first stanza Doyle stepped about, tucked and lodged like [ master. Leonard was right on tor of him, but could hardly get close enough to whang in a decent wallop i The second found Doyle slightl! more confident. He tried to exchange kicks with Leonard, but couldn't ge a real wallop over. In the meantime Benny shot few lefts over that con viEced Doyle. he was monkeyint with a buzz-saw.

SHUBERT

The inclement weather proved no bar to the attendance at the Shubert Theater at New Haven last night where a crowded house witnessed the old favorites, Mcintyre and Heath, in their new vehicle of amusement. Hello Alexander There are a mum Der of bright spots in the play and with some pruning and a little more sparkle from the principals to con- form with the pep displayed by the chorus and the piece may meet with metropolitan favor. There is some good music, excellent costumes and a. very attractive and shapely lot of girls. One of the features was a Miss Walker who dances well and .tIts over q song in a manner that You'd do credit to the famed Al Jol- lso Lulu Beeson did some mighty clever dancing. Eva Puck made a. delightful leading lady.
 The audience liked Mcintyre and Heath. We are of the opinion that without them, the production would be quite as interesting as with them, among the principals. Their business was the same that they have bean using for years, except that they no longer dar"e as they once did. Some of +Reir stories must have been found afteI a long, long search into the dark ages.
 The chorus Is a large one and every member of it can and does dance. In fact, the way the men and women stepped about was a reminder of the days when Georgie Conan presented dancing choruses. The costumes are many and delightful, As a scenic production. with the exception of the minstrel number which is a most ef- fective setting, Hello Alexander is not quite up to what one woull ex- pect for the sum asked
 However, as we have already stat. ed, it is the man who pays for his seat who determines the success or failure of the play We were mildly entertained with Hello Alexander There were scores who were delight ed. You can take your choice be tween the opinion Of the majority anC the minority.

After two minutes of fast work Leonard suddenly popped out his right and Doyle just as suddenly popped to the floor. When he re- sumed his natural fighting pace Doyle rushed in, endeavoring to sneak over haymaker.
 The fourth found the sea rather rough for Paul. Leonard persisted in stepping in close and rocking Paups head with short, snappy up percuts.

The champion couldn't escape a few and got riled He sailed in after Doyle and drove him around in light 1ing fashion. Paul managed tc weather the storm. Doyle was des- perate in the final round.

"Shall we be friends?" asked the

"We might as WE'LL" said the sec

So the two Dingo dogs wagged their
tails and agreed that they would be

: And the first Dingo dog sang this

first, which isn't, of course. the way
to do it but then the Dingo dogs did

Most creatures would have the first
verse first and then the chorus, but
not with the Dingo dogs.

second Dingo dog

So the second Dingo dog sang the
chorus which was a refrain which
went like this:

Really, it makes a fine chorus; just
