STELLA MATHEWS ACT AT
 LYRIC 4 RIOT OF COMEDY

Lyric patrons will not soon forget Stella Mayhew, headhner this half in Exclusive Songs" which brought the house down last night, stopping the show until Miss Mayhew could make her sixth bow. This is an ex- ceptionally good song offering for two good reasons. One is the highly entertaining character of the songs, the other an always rare article. a really fine comedy presentation by a woman. Miss Mayhew is a comed- ienne of the healthy and wholesome good-fellow type that both men and women like.
 The comedy skit. "A Melody Man." as offered by Jack Mack and Marie Holly, would headline on almost any other bill. The wit of this skit and the fine sense of humor with which the clever people put the idea over Is first rate entertainment. The act got fine appreciation in almost con- tinuous laughter during the playing.
 The most striking thing in the act Of Ben Meroff is his ballet presenta- tion, and cello playing of classical music. However, most of his act is more or less of the modern appeal in lazy doings, and he gets it over well.
 The two Cortez girls, globe-trot- ters, offer a turn of singing and dancing that is altogether exhilerat- ing. The closing comedy acrobatic act with an imitation of Charlie Chapln is the best thing next to a real Chaplin comedy.
 An Aesop Fable, Pathe News and Topics of the Day are on the screen.

 The decision caused great dsap- pointment at the capitol. It had been thought the action of the interstate commerce commission in cases in- volvng purely intrastate rates and regulations would be reversed. Mir Patterson said it will now be neces- sary for the various states to join in a nationwide movement for the modification of the federal acts by Congress. Until this is done the in terstate commerce commission will be in position at will to upset any order of the public service commits sion. according to MT. Patterson.

BETTY CoMPsoN AT STRAND IN "THE LITTLE MINISTERo

Few screen stories have the abun-
 dant and we'll constructed drama of
 "The Little Minister" featuring Betty Compson at the Strand. It Is no doubt this dramatic quality that accounts for the long continued popu- larity of this story, which is one of the standard tales of fiction, bids to become just as popular on the screen. Aside from being based on an excel lent story, "The Little Minister" has been given splendid production and the cast carefully selected.
 Betty. Compson has her one best
 role as the temperamental and impul-
 sive "Babbie." the Gypsy girl The wild costume of the gypsy suits her full, virile beauty as do the natural and unrestrained actions of the char acter. The little minister" Is very well done and talented acting has drawn the sharp contrast between his hedged in and repressed person. ality and the free soul of "Babbie."
 All of the picturesque Scotch types
 of the story are most entertainingly brought out, the strict elders. the harsh aristocrats and the soldiery.
 The picture is rich in fine characteri- l zation.

1.-THE WILD GOOSE, DRAMA AT FTVE-POINVS TO-DAY

Do You know the legend of the wild goose and his mate? We'll it is proverbial that the wild goose never deserts it's mate. Men may desert their helpmates. but the wild goose never. The story of The Wild Goose" a superb production at the Five-Points theatre today, is founded upon this saying. Frank Manners. an architect. has a romantic minded wife who becomes infatuated with another man. The husband is pre- vented from seeking vengeance by another woman who secretly loves him. She is married and when her husband learns the truth, he takes a hand in the triangular game with highly dramatic results. In the end the wild goose saying is fulfilled.

JOHN BALTIMORE IN 1.-THE
 LOTUS EATER,o AT TRIANON

John Barrymores new picture, The Lotus Eater" at the Trianon is enc that puts reviewer rather at a loss for a proper opinion or even de- scription. The picture is based on a story that is decidedly strange, al- most eccentric and without a doubt fascinating in it's peculiar way.
 These being rather the traits of Barrymore himself the story suits him very well.
 When "The Lotus Eater flashes out it's first scenes there is a distinct feeling of impending happenings and coming interest. For about half the story, which takes the principal character through a strange chain of events, and to the age of 25 without meeting a woman. this feeling of sus- pense is keen. Here. however. the character Is taken in a quite natural and interesting way to a most un- natural island where he finds inhab- itants of a Utopian and ideal order. On the island the story lags, but when once more action moves back to civilization and our central char acter returns to find domestic conn plications, interest starts again and the picture closes in a standard with many of Barrymore's god pictures.
 Appearing in the cat in support of Barrymore are Anna C. Nillson, Colleen Moore and the boy comedian, Wesley Barry.
 In addition to the feature drama a Buster Keaton comedy is offered

ENTERTAINING BILL
 AT LOEW,S FIRST HALE

The bill for the first half of the week at Loew's Bijou theatre can be elassed as an all-star offering as Manager Ralph DeBruler has suc- ceeded in presenting one of the best bills seen at the Bijou in some months.
 Obala and Adrienne offer a series of acrobatic and contortion stunts that have never been seen here be- fore. The stunts are not only novel but are well executed and the act "goes over" with a whiri.
 Melville and Stetson came on with a good start and made good through out the act. They are good musicians and the young lady has a pair of eyes that fairly talk. She "vamped" the entire orchestra last night.
 A vaudeville playlet presented by Frank Whittier and Company was very pleasing. The piaylet is based upon scene in one of the bedrooms in q New York hotel and many sur- prises are introduced.
 Hart, Wagner and Eftis, tive men and woman, are trio of singers whose voices harmonize well. They resort to comedy with only fair suc- cess but when they sang they com rletely captivated the audience.
 Jonia's Hawaiians closed the bill.
 
 fered several songs in the native tongue. As novelty a young Hawai- ian played several "blues" upon his guitar and was forced to repeat sev- eral times by the incessant applause. A hula hula dance is introduced with good effect prior to the lowering of the curtain.
 Eugene O,Brien in sIs Life Worth While?" is the screen feature. NORMA TALMADGE IN NPoPPY.
 FASCINATING ALCAZAR DRAMA
 The photoplay. Poppy" which fea- lures Norma Ta1madge at the Alca- gar. is a reissue of one of the best of that actress appearance during her career on the screen. 1t is a picture that has entertained very deeply and will always have the same wonderful appeal of romance, which is bound up in the story of Poppy" with a good production and the fine co-acting of Miss Talmadge and Eugene OBrien two of the most consummate love- makers on the screen.
 The story of the picture Is as rich in romance and color as the red poppy itself It is an emotional and TO. mantle drama, very tense and ex- tremely entertaining in it's love theme. The chief incident of the story hangs on unique incident in tropical town of English inhabit- ants. This incident is when a young Englishman, handsome and debonair wanders under the influence of a fever that robs him of reason into the garden of a mansion and meets with the ward of the owner, a girl trained to extreme innocence. The result of the meeting under these circum- stances leads to the subsequent drama.
 Taking place in tropical India. the story is an opportunity for artistic production and the tropical idea has been followed up with the reality. A love story in balmy surroundings is the happy result.
 Aside from the feature drama, the Alcazar is offering a very good two reel comedy, Fresh From the Farm which gathered quite a goodly crop of laughs yesterday at the review.
