LYRIC

George Broadhurst's production of Langdon McCormick's great melo- dramatic story The Storm," which ran for forty weeks at the 18th Street Theatre, New York. last season, is ex- pected to score a marked success at the Lyric Theatre where 1t will be played next week by the PoH play CTS.
 While this production is q thriller" both in story and in its wonderful scenic effects, the Skeynote is convinc- ing realism. No melodrama ever pro duced has made such an appeal to the credultty of an audience as this. Every feature of both story and the wonder full blizzard and forest fire scenes is transpIanted from the mirnicry of .he theatre to the land of the actual, and follows every incident with breath less interest. No higher compliments could be paid to author and pro- ducer than have been extended to this production.
 The scenic effects bear so important a part in the presentation of this meiodrama that more stage artisans are employed in manipulating the scenery than players in telling the story. This fidelity in observance of detail in the effects which serve as a background to the story is one of the many reasons for the great success that has been recorded by 'The Storm"
 The Lyrics Sunday night show promises to be the best yet. It's an all-star program, the feature picture being Zane Grey's great western, 1.-The Man of the Forest" Tom Santschi will be seen in Beyond the Trail" and one of Mack Sennett's funniest, Wedding Bells Out of Tune" will be another attraction.
 Edna Preston, leading lady of the Poli Players, will be heard in a re- pertoire of songs. Howard Goulden, late of Sousa'S Band, will contribute 1l1arimba selections. The Lyric Or ehestra will be enlarged for the ev- ening. There will be two shows, at 6 and p. m-
 WEST END.
 Made in Heaven" is the title of the Goldwyn picture at the West End theatre today. Everybody knows the rest of that-''Marriage are made in Heaven" The title tells the tale of matches that ever took place in film don-that of Tom Moore. the star of this picture, and Rene Adoree, who plays his little Irish sister in the story.
 MT. Moore had known Miss Adoree for only a few days when Director Victor Scherazinger noticed something E was wrong with his usual sunny smile it took a. more ardent meaning when he looked at Rene Adoree. The next thing that happened was the visit of a newspaper interviewer, who spread the news broadcaSS that the two were engaged to be married. Movie fans may have a real glin npse of the romance of Tom Moore and wyn stage, under the eyes of the en- tire company and the director. that Tom Moore did his courting.
