 Cinema Feature

Bearing all the earmarks of what hammering home, namely diversifica- tion, the Lyric offers a programme for the first half of the week that is declared to be all one could wish in the form of varie-y. There is comedy. satire, music and dancing found in the bill.
 To begin with, Cushing and Davis. riding around in a vehicle called "The Chiropractor" present some satrcal aspects of the practice of a chiroprac- tor, and while their act is a burles- que on those who cure by spinal ad- justments, even the doctors themselves receive it with hearty laughs Mir Cushing plays the doctor and Mir. Davis the patient and between them they create gales of laughter.
 The second headline number is an act that occupies a little place all it's own, and, judging by what critics else where have said, just the kind one refers to after the show and will like ly recall, and pleasantly, the next day This means John Geigher's act. John has a violin and it is called His Talking Violin" In sooth. it must be aptly named, for it answers ques- tions, says little witticisms and in va rious other ways indulges in speech. Geigher's lowing and lingering and harmony are declared to be excellent

 This is the only explanation for the great advance demand for seats for this production which has been in evidence during the past few days, and frank L.

in tracing the course of the ear.

Of the tariff situation since the Demo

day they had small hope of getting the

the Democrats have the advantage
1t is assumed the Democrats will try
to kill time on the bill until the Repub-

appropriation bills in order to finish
them by March A. AS other bills than
the tariff measure come up in the Sen
ate, long drawn out Democratic speeches IS
on them would cause no surprise.
Repu blican leaders have onc card up
their sleeves and they are threatening
to play it. They talked to-day of per
mittng the Democrats to delay the
tariff bill until it became plain beyond
dispute there was a filibuster, and then
try to invoke cloture rule. If this
could be adopted the tariff bill could
be driven through.

ALBANY, Dec 28.-A comprehensive
program for thorough housecleaning
in the State Industrial Comrniss ion has

and will be submitted to the Legsla-
