That the management of the Ly- ceum has endeavored to do his part 10 help the New Britain General Hos pital Building Fund was properly ob- served last evening at the benefit per- formance. A capacity house witnessed the special program of seven acts of vaudeville and motion pictures. in- cluding the feature picture Held in Trust" with May Allison. It was said last evening that the Lyceum, in doing it's share for the hospital drive, had maintained its tradition as the leading playhouse in New Britain.
 Included in last nights program of vaudeville are four acts which will be shown tonight and tomorrow. War dell and Doneurt are seen in a com- edy sketch revolving about election results. and this act is full of action. The Claries earn distinction by their playing of the harp. Those who love the music of the harp and realize how difficult it is to play on it, will want to hear the Claries who are called singing harpists."
 Violet Charles, dainty snginr come dienne, sings several catchy airs that appeal to Lyceum patrons. The Thee Melfords do some difficult acrobatic stunts of n high order.
 Not only delightful-one has come to take that for granted of May Ali son--but also tremendously convinc- ing in tho big emotional scenes is the star of Held in Trust" which was given its first showing last evening As the threadbare little shopgirl

 But it's foolish to let romance stand in the way of a good bargain Dicky went on. and his complacent air of being extremely practical made mo smother a laugh, business sense of any kind being one of Dicky's notable deficiencies.
