AT THE LYRIC

Billie Beard, famous blackface come dian. who is probably as well known to theatregOers in the south as any burnt cork comedian who has ever graced the vaudeville stages, comes to the Lyric the first half of this week, co-headlining the vaudeville bill with the Fay and Weston Revue. Billy Beard bills himself as ''The Party from the South," which is title typical of the character he portrays, for his act is an interesting and entertaining char acterization of the typical southern negro. No less interesting, on this weeks bill, is the offering of Fay and Weston, co-headlining with Billie Beard. Unusual entertainers themselves, these two clever people have an added feature to their act, the Royal Gar den Six, a jazz orchestra, that has been making Q decided hit over the Keith time. Rounding out the bill are three other acts which advance notices de- scribe as of exceptional merit, namely : Andrew Lewis and Patsy Moran, in a comedy skit by the famous vaudeville writer, Jack Lait. entitled, "Touring Stevens, with Bella Bordeaux and Ma belle A1ignon, in a comedy playlet, ''They Never Change" and lastly, Ar chic Onry. assisted by Miss Dolly, in Novelty Bits"
