 FEATURES AT THE LYRIC

Al Romi and Ed Cullen are the best on the Lyric bill for the latter half of the week. They are comedy pair that work together in fine team work, and both have make-ups that are scream in themselves. Their act is made up of some first-rate panotmime dancing They are unusual in simply bringing the house down with only pantomime
 When the audience let Ed and Al go the last and next best act came on. It is entitled, The Phlegmatic Gymnasts" ," They keep the audience guessing for some minutes, and generally please with their odd ways and mysterious and funny actions
 Nine musical girls appeal to lovers of music, and especially of the saxiphone. A group of popular airs beautifully played makes this a musical offering above the ordinary.
 The Whirlwind Dorans gave light footed dance act, which ended with a surprise. They took well with the Thursday audience. Immediately fol- lowing them were Al Keefer and Dot Alberts in rural comedy number. Their jokes ran mostly to puns, and were appreciated by many.
 Children Not Wanted and a Fox news weekly are the screen attractions at both ends of the bill.

 Elsie Harvey and George Sitter pre- scented an act filled with comedy songs and dancing which was well received. They were followed by Copes and Hut tons offering which was made up of songs and comedy chatter that was de cidedly amusing.
 The vaudeville offering was closed with the act of Victoria and Dupree, aero battles. They presented an acrobatic act that has seldom been equaled on a local vaudeville stage.
 Common Sense" q feature picture with an all-star cast, is the screen of- fering for the. last half of the week.
