LIBERTY THEATRE.
"The Oat and the Canary" is a picture to which one can accord the highest praise, both from the point of view of the plot, and fiom that of the production and the acting. The story tolls of tho will of one Cyrus West, an eccentric old rich man, regarded by his relatives as insane. Before his death they had surrounded him, waiting for the promised spoil, like cats round-a canary. On the night of the reading of the will, a night of storm and lightning, the interested parties assemble. Lawyer Crosby presides. The will, Bfter a preliminary statement on the attitude of the relatives before tho old man's death, states that the fortune is bequeathed to the most distant relative bearing the name of West. This is Annabelle West (Laura La Flante). Attached to the will is a disagreeable provision—that tho heiress shall be examined by a doctor, who shall certify as to her sanity. If his decision is adverse, the money goes to another person.
