AT THE LYRIC

Al THE fhiC
 Realizing the ever pressing de- mand of the theatre going public for variety in vaudeville bills, the man agement at the Lyric has outdone all previous records in securing t,e five acts for the last half of the week, which, taken as a whole, are above the average
 The cinema attraction for the bill comes in for its equal share of praise and has been conceded to be the crowning success of Carl LaemmePs productions Herbert Rawlinson. who has caused sensa- tions in the movie world with his ability as d screen actor, has the stellar role in the picture which is presented under the title of One Wonderful Night"
 Dances from the Baltic Sea, Hono- lulu, Spain and the latest creation of Broadway are featured in the act of Billy Hughes and hls four lady friends. They are all good dancers, and the act is well staged.
 Hughes act is closely rivaled by that of Johnny Wright and the Douglas Sisters for it's ability, con taining much light comedy, but an ample amount of clever soft shoe dances and more difficult ,presenta- tions of the terpischorean to make it highly interesting from the dancing standpoint.
 Frank Farron, billed as a "Dealer in Laughs" has a good line of jokes on the colored race. some of which are new, and couple of songs that made real hits. Miss Vera Calhoun had several surprises for her au- q eT. .fal. .1 ability as songster, put her act over in good style.
 The Vanderbilts mix comedy with their gymnastic act in a pleasing style, both of which went well with the audience.

ADJUSTMENTS
LoEw's BIJoU


 A conventional vaudeville menu of singing, dancing, batter, and trap ezing was dispensed at Loew's Bijou Thursday night. in a most unconyen- tiCnal way that made it appetizing and delightful. Every act, even to the introductory aerobats, was un- usual, and the audience departed besmiled, which is a great adver- tisement.
 Ray Hughes led the bill with flow of sparkling wit that was to the de- light of the audience, like Tennyson's brook. It ranneth out into the or chestra pit, the audience, and once came dangerously near upsettng the house, as well as it's creator. Se- riously. it was one of the most humorous acts seen at Loews in a long time.
 genuinely fine act was that of Bentley, Banks and Fay, tenor so- prano and piano. The tenor was fine, the soprano was par excellence, and the piano was not bad. From ultra twentieth century jazz to Verdi and rCbably some of the other opera composers, they were splendid.
 Next came Kimberly and Page with their risque act that the au- dience liked so we'll it called for postscript. Nobody seemed to mind it being bit risque-in fact, it was so innocently so that it was refreshing It was cleverly and originally done, which is saying considerable.
 Somebody has to be last, and for that reason only La Sova and Gil- more, with their bizarre dancing number are given that place. Beau tiful costuming and scenery, mostly the latter. gave a fitting background for the high-class singing, dancing and batter. The member of the scan- tily clad sex did some good toe dancing.-J. II.

Barn Hop and Barbecue
at Governors Inaugural

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. s.
Whatever else Governor ,'iect j. &.
Walton will give Oklahoma during his
term, it's certain he will give it a lively
administration.
He's started out by announcing no
inaugural bail viii be given at the
executive manrion here. Instead
therell be a big barbecue on the man
sion lawn and barn dance.
And Walton doesn't want society
people 10 attend. He wants farmers
and common folks. He expects more
than 10000 Of them-his friends-to
be present.
You see, Walton was elected as a
man of the people. Though a Demo-
crat. he was supported not only by
that party, but also by the Farm-La-
Dor party, the Socialists and not a
few Republicans.
Dress Suits Banned.
But back 10 the inaugural barbecue
dress suit will be banned. All visitors
will be asked to wear flannel shirts,
rough trousers and high boots.
Il won't wear dress suit while
I'm governor" Walton declares en-
phatically.
Four hundred head Of cattle and
half rs many hogs and sheep will be
slaughtered for the barbecue.
The barn dance will be one of the
most elaborate ever staged and there
II be a series of minstrel shows. fid-
ding contests and Indian war dances
and exhibitions.
No "CiGfied" Dances.
Waltzes and other 'citified" dances
will not be permitted. Instead therell
be Old-fashiOned square dances. Nir.
ginia reels and cowboy "hoe-downs.
There'Il be an inaugural parade
headed by Colonel Zach Mulhall, who'll
ride to Oklahoma City from his
ranch. 100 miles away, behind yoke
of oxen. The governOr-elect will ride
in the parade on horseback. .. ..
Walton is dcvoting mere time TO his
inaugural than to proposed legislation,
saying the latter can wait.
He's appointed committees 10 sup
ply the barbecue with Eeeves, Oppos-
sums, turkeys and bears. One commit
tee is charge of the lndiah war dance
in which 1000 Indians will take part.
For Public Ownership.
Walton. who now is mayor of Okla
homa City. was elected en- platform
that opposes private control of basic
utilities.
The .govcrnor-elect expects 10 put
the state in business running banks,
mills. elevators, warehouses and ce-
ment plants for the good OF farmers
and laborers.- His gigantic experiment
will be watched all over the United
States.
Walton is. Al, a native OF Indiana
and is six feet tall. He has a wife
and two daughters.
