LYRIC.

"The 18th Chair" is to be presented by the Poli Players twice daily all week at the Lyric. The play is one of the most thrilling that the Players have tackled this season and it is con- sidered advisable to make reserva- tions for seats early if choice vantage points are desirable.

WEST END

Tonight t'The Walk Offs" a pie turization by Screen Classics, Inc, of the successful stage play by Fred eric and Fanny Hatton. is the most suitable vehicle for May Allison's beauty and dramatic talents which this rising star has had. Despite the brilliancy of the background of fashionable life, alluring women in exquisite gowns and extraordinary glimpses into gay studio entertain ments, May Allison easily predomi- mates this production by her engag- ing personality.
 The play was originally produced by Oliver Morosco at the Morosco Theatre in New York and had a suc- cessful run. June Matthias and A. P. Younger, who made the scenario of the screen version, have displayed considerable ingenuity in the wider latitude allowed them in the screen story and have elaborated consider ably upon the pictures of bright so- cial and studio life.
