LYRIC,

''The Lady of the Scarlet Poppy" now playing at the Lyric theatre, deals with the work of the denizens of the underworld, exposing some of their worst tactics and still remaining clean and unobjectionable. The play can meet with nothing but success wherever shown. There are plenty of thrills, lots of sensation, plot that keeps you guessing from start to finish The scenic effects are al- most as startling as the play itself and those who saw it expressed their delight at the innovations introduced. There is the scene in the gambling house where the victims of the scheming vampire lose their wealth, then the transformation to a home in the country where things are more quiet.
 Next week the Players will present that quaint1y characteristic comedy Cappy Ricks'' Those who followed these humorous stories by Peter F. Kyne in the Saturday Evening Post are familiar with some of the adven- lures of this sarcastic philosopher and will be delighted at the opportunity of seeing these tales dramatized- Ar | thur Griffen, the capable and enter i taining comedian of the resident com- pany will appear in the title role.

The recent announcement of the death of the ex-Queen of Hawaii may be said to make the play "A Daughter of the Sun" which is now playing at the Park a timely offering, since it has to do with the succession Of ruIership of the islands known as the Paradise of the Pacific. The o1den line is to be restored through the marriage of a temple maiden, from whom the play takes its name, and youth of royal blood, a graduate of Harvard. Japan is to have an un- derhand finger in the pie, so to speak, and before the play is ended the off cials of the United States have a diff ficult time eXtricating themselves from the web of intrigue which has been woven by spies and native priests The play is presented by a clever company and with a massive scenic production.
