 l "A Manhattan Knight" based on | Gelett Burgess story, I'fFind the ] Woman" is a very entertaining dra- | ma, rapid and unfaltering in action and kept Tn constant motion by a lot
 of rattling good situations and com plications. George Walsh, the star, 1 is seen at his best and was a welcome | visitor to the Plaza after an absence 1 of three months. An especially good
 cast is seen in his support. "A Peek in Pekin,'' is the vaude vile headliner. The members are dressed in Chinese costumes, but sing and dance in the good old American

 Inspiring heart interest, real blood l curdling thrills and an element of l mystery are outstanding features of the enthralling melodrama, ''The Tiger Lady," which opened the week
 at the Lyric theatre yesterday. Fol | lowing a murder in the dark in the prologue, the audience is carried 1 through three overlapping acts l which portray the story which leads up to one of the most startling eli | maxes ever produced in the epilogue 1 where all is explained.
 The story is cleverly written about the life of a good girl who carries on
 a bitter fight for honor and happi- | ness. Mary Ann Dent1er is excel | lently cast in the title role with Ar | thur Chatterdon playing an excellent
 opposite in the character of Richard Stanhope, her fiance. Willard Da-
 shiell, as the gambler with a streak
 of good in him, stands forth promin-
 ently in the cast. Mabel Griffith and
 Arthur Griffen furnish the excellent | comedy and while Jack McGrath | and Susan Stallings are called upon 1 in small parts they take advantage of all the opportunities presented l Edward Davidson makes good as the ! Inspector of Police and w. H. Me
 Douga1l as the criminal detective,
 was never better. Elmer Blunkdal1, 1 in the character of Lenine, the con- fidence man, furnishes many of the 1 thrills.
 With the famous comedy Peg O. My Heart" as the attraction next
 week, the Poli Players have their
 work cut out for them.
