AT THE LYRIC.

Time is growing short in which ing muscles in the best possible, and that is by seeing "Six Cylinder Love-" the delightful comedy mixture of au tomobiles, romance and business, which will be offered for three more performances only at the Lyric.

Their act Is of the musical variety, with a portion of comedy for good measure. Real artists on the saXaphone, the trom- bone, cornet or any other instrument they choose, these fellows alone are well worth the admission price.
 Ward and Zellar opened the bill with new departure in hat throw ing, likewIse introducing a bit of comedy into an act that went over we'll
 White and Barry proved as accept able as did any other act on the bill, with a viriety of songs, which by the way, introduces Miss Barry as the lady with tenor voice, and as near perfect as one would want to hear. Miss White is equally as good a soprano and uses 1t to advantage in several popular favorites.
