Lyric Review

Dear Henry:
 According to our agreement Hen, I was to lay low for a, bum show at the Lyric and then tip you off in time for you to warn the gang to save their money and not make the trip to town. Well, I'm still laying low, but if you or any one else can tell me when they have had a second rate show at the Lyric since the man. agement got connected up with the Columbia Wheel of burlesque. I would ike nf sa to t,,, hear it; II, It sure is case not missing Tom Howard with his Knfck Knacks. Knfck Kna'cks is a funny name for a show, but take They say there is only a thousand laughs in it. but if there isn't ten thousand then I'm a gori11a's great aunt.
 ry with this Knick Knack show sure would make you want to see 1t and them twice. They are all so good it is hard to pick out a winner, but I say she Is Matte Billie Quinn That thar gal sure has them all quiet when 1t comes to dancing and she also s1ngs a mean note and that's that. Helen and nearly brings down the house with her characterization of Galli Curci and her yodeI song accompan- jed by her trick mandolin. She also Uoeo O SpSSAdieJ HI pdJahdS tIpdI IS sure to please the most critical, SO to speak.
 So guess 1t will be some day in the fall before we get chance to put poor show on the pan, Hen, be- cause there have been none that I have seen so far, but when it does come I'll let you know intsanter. Fur thermore, it won't be next week eith- CT, for Sliding Billy Watson is com ing then, what you think of that Huh?
 Yours for open evenings,
