Originality, the biggest thing in en. .tertainment of any kind, is the keynote of the big bill which is to be offered the patrons of the Lyric for the first half of this week. In the five acts of big time Keith vaudeville which make up the program will be found diversity, a novelty and genuine originality that 1t is hard to duplicate in any bill.
 The headliner brings the Five Jolly Corks, in up-to-date Originalities and a breath of old-time minstrelsy.
 Everything is in capsule form these days. Newspapers have been boiled down: the tabloid form has become one of the most popular forms of theatrical entertainment. In fact generally the public want the meat of thing with out the pudding. This is to be found in vaudeville. There are short plays, little musical comedies and tabloid min. strels and in a brief way they have been found thoroughly enjoyable. The Five Jolly Corks are helping to keer such a popular form of entertainment This quintette of black-faced comedians singers and dancers present complete minstrel first part all of its traditions but chock full of up-to-date originali' ties.

TRIANON TO SHOW OLD WEST STORY.
'SundOwn.' Earl HudsOn's Narrative Opens
 Monday

One of the most romantic phases of the worlds history, and certainly the most spectacular period in American chronicles, is slowly vanishing. The passing of the old American west, the cowboys, the cattle, and the hardy pio- neers who invaded and conquered great empire, these are the highlights of "Sundown," the First National pro- duction, which comes to the Trianon theater Monday.
 Earl Hudson's story, as presented in ~Sundowh," has raised the question in the minds of Americans as to the future meat supply of this nation. During the last two decades the great cattle-owners of the west have been gradually forced to seek new grazing lands. This condi- tion was brought about by homesteaders who were apportioned small sections of land by government grants.
 How a group of big cattle-owners gathered their vast herds and made a final and sensational drive across the border into Mexico; the mountains; the bitterness existing between the cattle men and the "nesters" who have come to encroach upon the land they pioneer ed these are some of the outstanding points of "Sundown." Interwoven with the theme is a beautiful love story.
 The picture was directed by Law renee Trimble and Harry O. Hoyt, un- der the personal Supervision of the author, Earl Hudson. The cast, re- markable for it's fidelity to authentic characterization, consists of Bessie Love, Hobart Bosworth, Roy Stewart Charlie Murray, Jere Austin, Charles Crockett, Wilfred North, Charles Sel- lon, Arthur Hoyt, and Margaret Me Wade.

who is living tribute to exercise. She , is said to have had a wonderful start given her by nature, but she was not content with that. She went on with regular exercise and sane physical cul- ture, until today critics say she is Il wonderful example of what proper phy- sical life will do.
 For the special feature, Way Dalton and Jane Craig present "Aladdin's Lamp." This is spectacular special ty. in which Mir. Dalton and Miss Craig show how well they sing and dance and talk. Altogether it is described as a big novelty.
 Rounding out the bill are Artie Lewis and Peggy Ames in "Stay Off My Shoulders" and Don Sang and Al Chung, Chinese opponents of harmony and fun.

Douglas Fairbanks "The Thief of Bagdad,' which has been generally ac- cepted as being the most amazing de- velopment in the moving picture drama, will be presented at the Jefferson thea ter for weeks engagement beginning Monday night. Two showings will be given daily thereafter at 2:3O and s 80 D. m. The sale of seats will open Friday, December 5, and mail orders will be filled in the order of the receipt.
 In 'The Thief of Bagdad' there has been realized the most extraordinary happenings, so amazing that the thought of picturing them had not heretofore been thought possible. In this picture, founded up the Arabian Nights,' Doug las Fairbanks seems pretty nearly to have covered the universe, both of fact and fancy. There will be discovered in it scenes under the sea, on the earth, and in the air-including many imagi- nary places that exist only in fantastic

Were they known, however, the cost of this picture would seem beyond belief.
