LYRIC.

New ideas in bizarre dance cos tunes are shown for the first time by Mae Murray in her characterization of the pretty heroine of the new pie ture, "On With the Dance," which will occupy the screen at the Lyric theatre next week. One of the most striking ones is ballet dress wh1ch combines all the fads of the day. The long tight basque effect is accom- plished by broad, plain panel down the front of the waist, which stops at the sides Tiny straps go over the shoulders and become wider to make a narrow panel down the back. On her hands and arms Miss Murray wears mittens of glittering spangieS and the effect is enhanced by the facI that the material has a broad stripe of dull silver on ground of paler tones. The ladies will appreciate this one.
 ~'The great morality play, Every woman,' is still attracting the crowds and will be continued during the bal apce of the week.
