LYRIC PICTURES.

Friday—Splendid scope for fine emotional acting is given Nor ma Talmadge, Triangle Go's brilliant star, in the powerful and superbly mounted play, " Martha's Vindication. It is the story of a woman's supreme sacrifice, the surrender of love and happiness to shield her sisler. The dressing is a big feature of this picture, Miss Sceria Owen alone makes 15 superb wardrobe selections.

Saturday—H. B. Warner, who is starred in "The Raiders," btgins the story as a junior clerk in a broker's office; from afar he worships his employer's daughter. There is dramatic thrill in plenty in this story, and the clerk, who overhears his employer plotting to fleece a wealthy client, sees his chance, takes it, and ends in a whirl of excitement, a motor car and matrimony. The supporting items include a big comedy by the Triangle-Keystone Co.

Tuesday—Probably no picture yet shown at the Lyric has bad so many of the qualities essential for popularity as the film called "The All-Red Route." The picture commences with the departure of the Niagara from Sydney on her maiden voyage to Auckland. Many familiar scenes in Auckland are submitted before the journey is continued to the Islands, Honolulu, etc. It is not till the camera is transferred to the C.P.R railway, however, that the picture reaches the 'most impressive portion of the journey. In the 3000 mile ride across Canada magnificent views are shown of the Rocky Mountains, Winnipeg,' Montreal, etc., and some fine impressions of Niagara Falls. Thence to Liverpool and London.
