 | LYRIC.
 II storm signals ar" out fer all next week at the Lyric theaare where 'Tne storm will be produced by the Poli | Players. Tine storm in question is George Rroadhurst's production of the great romance of the big woods which had a remarkably long run of successes.
 New York didn't seem able to get enough of this splendid melodrama- which is entitled to tihe record of the ont year and 15 weeks at the Ash stpeet theatre.
 "The storm" reaches the pinnacle of stagecra<t, embracing some of the Bridgeport. The capital stimulation of a blizzard in the first act, the thrilling forest fire and the fourth act shiwing the devastation done by the blaze are the mos5 stupendous effects ever attempted at the Lyric.
 The story deals with the interest ing problem of a young girl bound fast by blizzard in a cabin. with two ssrange men with her. If the girl admits her love for one man, it means that murder will be done. How she solves the problem provides another big thrill.
 "Oh Lady, Lady" the peppery mu- sica1 comedy which has set the whole town talking, is continuing its sue cesses at the Lyric.
