LYRIC


 Everybody seems to be anxious 1- see what is on ''The Inside of the Cup'' and as a result the Lyric the ater is accommodating capacity houses all this week. The picture is one of the best that has ever been screened and exploits a subject that Is of interest to everybody. There is not an idle moment throughout tho production and every flicker Of the film is replete with action.
 The theme of the story is built about the snug hypocrisy practiced by many church men who profess to have religion but only use it on Sun day while they are at church, forget ting thcir Christianity every other day in the week. How the principal character, Eldon Parr, loses both his daughter and son by his hypocritical ways and how he even loses his life as the result of his practices is ad mirably and entertainingly told
 In addition to the big picture there are several other attractions, inClud- ing the well known boys choir of St. PaurS Evangelical church, who sing at each of the evening performances Their singing is enhanced by the in troduction of beautiful scenic and lighting effects which calls for unso- icited applause.
 There are three performances daily at 2:15, 6:15 and S:15, each complete in every detail.

Second:
RTGHTO,

A friend and to the movies went. Each spent a dime, a nicllle- a cent: The critic was there with his ready
 hiss,
 His enjoyment in missing to him was
 bliss,
 He hissed the hero, and hissed the
 star:
 He hiSseG tho music at every bar. When really the one who should have
 been hiSSed Was the hisser himself, who would
 never be missed!

A Worthwhile Play

This is the story of The Devi1,'' the play that made the world gasp when it was presented on the stage with MT. Arliss in the title role some ten. years ago. and that still provokes the gasp though MT Arliss is seen in celluLoid. Conceded to be the finest actor in point of subtlety on the stage today, MT. Arliss plays the part with a. f1nesse and finish that is for eign to many screen stars.
 As "Dr Muller on the screen he detracts nothing from the role he created on the stage. He is sur rounded bv a brilliant company, and the play itseh is one to make for earnest thought.
 By all means see this picture when it comes to Bridgeport. which will be soon.
