LYRIC

What is free love? That's one of the questions answered very emphat- ically in Robert w. Chambers great play, ''The Common Law" which is proving a magnet for theatre-goers at the Lyric all this week.
 To show his point. he has creat- ed for his heroine an artists model who has become fnbued with these ideas, infected in the Bohemian at mosphera of the artists quarter of New York. She refuses to marry the man she loves, but declares that she is willing to live with him. He turns from her tn pity and disgust, but later on things are smoothed out.
 Dramatic situations follow one an- another in great rapidity in 'eThe Common Law, and Eveta Nudsen, Minor Watson and Roy Elkins, in the leading roles, have added new lau- rels to their fast growing collection.
 For the Christmas attraction. Man agter Arvine announces a rnamm oth and costly production of "EXperience'' the great morality play with a mod ern setting.
