THE HUNCHBACK" AT LYCEUM

The Hunchback of Notre Dame," that stupendous drama that has been shown elsewhere at greatly advanced prices. is being shown at the Lyceum all this week at regular Lyceum prices, not Q cent advance, and the patrons surely are taking advantage of this opportunity of seeing one of the greatest pictures of the decade.
 Lon Clancy, who plays the chief character role of the picture, does what is declared to be the greatest acting of his career. As the deform- d bell ringer who gives his life in protection of the young girl who had giNen him water when the rest of the populace turns against him, his work Is remarkable. Patsy Ruth Miller as lhe leading feminine character also is at her hest, while others in the company do equally well.
