LYRIC PICTURES.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT. J i'A DOUBLE-DYED DECEIVER.^. f 'A Double-Dyed Deceiver." the big Gftldwyn picture opening at the Lyric Pictures on Wednesday, stars Jack Pickford as the "Llando Kid," who has a reputation throughout Texas as a "bad hombre" but is a pleasant mannered youth who makes it a point not to kill white men, only Mexicans. He has just had a shooting affair, and leaves town in a cloud of dust, bound for distant parts unknown. He lands in the youth American town of Bueniirio« Tlerras, where the major part of itie picture takes place. It is here that the Kid becomes involved in a highly exciting plot to rob and deceijfi an aristowatio £«_;,_; lamily, by posing as a son who ran away when a boy. He doffs his cowboy costume and becomes the favoured son of the wealthy Spanish family, and later, when the Kid has i..?it the first kind and loving influence ho had ever known, the great transformation takes place. A hall-room comedy, "Chicken Chasers," and the latest gazettes complete the; programme.

FBIDAY NIGHT. "ACROSS THE DEADLINE." Gilead, a Northern lumber town, has been divided by Enoch Kidder so that one side of the village—all of it od' one side of the main street —was separated from the other side. Enoch, on the side in which lived wholesome, Godfearing' men and women, was the dominant "figure. On the other side —the side of saloons, dance halls and loose morals —his brother, Aaron, was king. An ancient feud existed between the two. Years before Aaron had sworn vengeance for a fancied wrong, and as Enoch's son grew to manhood, saw in him the object through which this vengeance might be wrought. See how Aaron planned to square things with Enoch through an attack upon the reputation of his stalwart son in "Across the Deadline" at the Lyric Pictures next Friday.
