LYRIC PICTURES.

Friday—" Midnight at Maxims " will be screened for the first time in Helensville. Maxims is the gayest place in New York. It is the place- where the residing American always steers the stranger when the said stranger wants to see "something startling," and he usually sees it. The picture is full of daring and gorgeous ballets. Also included on the big programme is tb.9 Triangle-Keystone comedy, " A Dash of Courage," which is one merry whirlpool of fun. Saturday—Two big star pictures will be shown—" His Go] den Grain," a grand drama of real life that will delight all beholders. And the merry TriangleKeystone farce, " Stolen Magic," featuring Mabel • Normand and Raymond Hitchcock. The management of the Lyric have shown some really funny comics lately, but they have no hestation in saying that this picture eclipses them ail. Tuesday—" The Iron Strain." In the opinion of the Lyric management this picture is one of the best Triangle-Ince dramas to date, and should prove a big drawing factor, especially as Dustin Farnum, the famous screen artist, is playing the leading role. It is a story of the mountains, and the scenery and lighting effects are magnificent. A splendid Vitagraph comic, entitled " Diplomatic Henry," starring Mr and Mrs Sydney Drew, will be screened amongst the various supports.
