LYCEUM IS GIVING
 MOST FOR LEAST
Best PhOtopIays at Reduced
 PriCeS-- Great Features

The most for the least is the mot to of the Lyceum theater where the biggest of the leading phOtoplays are being shown at prices which are q great reduction from thase charged elsewhere, fifteen and twenty cents for the matinees and fifteen, twenty and thirty cents in the evening. An idea of the calibre of the program is easily seen in review of next weeks bills. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday features Harold Bell Wright's fine adventure romance, 'The Mine With the Iron Door," as well as the news reels and selected comedies; while the last three days of the week brings Buster keaton in Our Hospitality" and Huntlcy Cor don and Eileen Pringle in True as Steel" a dramatic story of a modern business woman and @ modern busi- ness man who almost foreets his do- nestle responsibilities. The Jack Dempsey series also will be shown.
 For Sunday night a double attrac- tion presents Eva Noyak in "The Beautiful Sinner" and John Bowers and Alice Calhoun in "The Code of the Wilderness"

WINTER GARDEN
 WITH AL JOLSON
Comedian Stars as Jockey in
 Big Boy'

New York, Jan. 10.-ln the thea ter proper the star system Is popn- larly supposed to be declining: in tho field Of musical comedy 1t was never more in the ascendant than Wodncs- day night at the Winter Garden. The occasion was the return of Al Jol- son, as near to unaided as was ever any entertainer in the world, and to add that he triumphed is to use one of the weaker words. ~ MT. Jolson comes to town but rarely in new show--for the eX- tremcly simple reason that any show in which he appears seems 10 have the capacity to run on forever. and ! is changed for a new one only when the star gives signs of dropping over 1 from exhaustion. As an example or an audience held in the hollow of the hand, Wednesday nights pre- mier at the Winter Garden provided a night that should live in theatrical history. Never before did all present seem so distinctly the property of the actor as they did Wednesday night.
 Mir. Jolson's methods and person. aIity have long been too well estao- lished in the theater 10 call for ex' tended inquiry. In "Big Boy" which happens to be the name of the show this time, he seems to be ana even more vibrant and magnetic figure than ever before. He is all or the old Jolson and something of new
 Jolson as well. He sings, both serl'
 ously and comicaIly, and included Tn

legend of a strange lost mine, said to have been buried by a terrific landslide from towering mountain, furnishes the keynote of the tale. The action moves tiwh romantic splendor and with tragic thrills and the cast which enacts 1t consists of Pat O'Malley, Dorothy Mackaill, Creighton Hale, Mary Carr and oth- CTS.
 Should one indiscretion end a mar riage? This question is taken up in True as Steel" picture which deals with the problems of women in business and the tired business man from home. The charming Miss Pringle has the role of a successful business woman, the wife of a charming but distant husband to whom she was very devoted. Hunt ley Gordon is the proud father and | loving husband who also is a suc- cessful business man. Huntley Cor | don is at his best in this picture and Miss Pringle just as good as she was in Three Weeks" Eleanor Board man has the role of the wife and Cleo Madison is snappy as the flap per daughter of the couple. Norman Kerry is very dapper as the sporting husband.
 Roaring laughter is mixed with tense drama. Buster KcKaton's "Our Hospitality" a comedy that is new in the field of laughs. It depicts a thrilling Kentucky feud and a grip ping love story in the days when American railroads were first being built. Keaton himself has the part of a member of the feudiStS in this southern tale concerning the trou' bles of the last of the Mckays, wher he returns 10 his home in Kentucky and makes the technical mistake oI falling in love with the beautiful daughter of the house Of Garfield which family has all but wiped ou the Mckays Tn their duels.

'DANTE'S INFERNO
 PALACE NEXT WEEK
Spectacular Broadway Photo
 play Hit to Be Shown

An immense amount of incidental preparation is always necessary in shooting such a picture as "Dante's Inferno" the new William Fox pro- duction, directed by Henry Otto, which will be seen at the Palace the ater Sunday for four days engage ment.
 This picture made an extraordi- nary demand upon those in charge because of its intensely spectacular nature, particularly in those scenes in which Hell is depicted. These scenes called for complete staff of the most expert pyrotechnicians in the world, who were assembled at the Fox studios in Hollywood to work out the big fire scenes which are an important part of "Dante's Inferno"
 Another adjunct found necessary because of the intense dramatic qualities Of much of the picture and the fact that hundreds upon hun dreds of young girls were used in portraying lost souls, was corps of physicians and nurses who were in constant attendance to take care of young women who might be over come by the strain. After every big scene in Hades. it was found that from a dozen to twenty girls had fainted-usually from excitement. But no one would have quit her part under any circumstances, so anxious were they all to see it through.
 There will be four acts of vaude- vile with this production, and head ing the bill will be Echoes of the Alps" a pretentious scenic singing offering with large cast.
 On Thursday Barbara LaMarr and Bert Lytell will be featured in :'a "sandra" with a newSill of taude-
