LYRID PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT. “THE DANGEROUS LITTLE DEMON.” “The Dangerous Little Demon!” Guess who it is? Why, Marie Prevost! and she will be at the Lyric to-night, and is just about the most appropriate title yet put on a Prevost picture, for j the gleam of the mischievous ’teens is | in her eye and the spirit of a “ real i girl” in her bearing. On the samel programme is Joe Martin the super- | human monkey in “The Monkey Schoolmaster,” also a further chapter of the “Terror Trail,” entitled “The I Ship of Surprise,” and the Internutiou- : al News. j TO-AIORROW (SATURDAY) AT 2.30 And 8 P.At. WESLEY BARRY IN “PENROD.” 1 “Penrod” and his gang, those lion-| est-to-goodness boys of Booth Talking- 1 ton’s stories, arc coming to the Lyric I Pictures to-morrow (Saturday) at 2.30 and S p.lll. in a wonderful juvenile picture made by Marshall Neihui and dis- j tribute:! by First National. Wesley | Barry is “Penrod,” that inventive and . ingenious youngster who organised the j American Boys’ Protective Society, got j himself elected president and finally captured the notorious bandits who had been robbing the whole neighbourhood, with the aid of his gang. “Penrod’s” supporting east includes a big company of juvenile and grown-up players of renown. There is “Sunshine Sammy,” the little coloured boy with a host of friends; Claire AlcDowell, Clara Hor- j ton, Marjorio Daw, and 'fully Marshall, . to say nothing of a half hundred of les- , ser lights. Few people who remember their own childhood will want to miss it. XAIAS NIGHT. “EVANGELINE.” “Evangeline,” the vitally dramatic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, will be seen at tlie Lyric Pictures next Afonday (Xmas night) in the motion picture version made by lox Film Corporation. William Fox, in making this picture, has achieved what was declared to be impossible. The production is rated a surpassingly beautiful version of lire most sublime drama in the history of America 11 literature. Miss Miriam Cooper, a well known and charming leading woman of the screen, is seen in the title role, and her impersonation of the unhappy heroine is said to be her greatest achievement. 1 BOXING NIGHT. “THE ROAD DEMON.” Tom Alix, the William Fox star, has jumped through glass windows on horseback; he has leaped from cliffs into rivers while in the saddle. Now, in his new picture, ‘The Roafj Demon,’ he takes another different turn and does his jumping in an automobile. He trades his horse for the machine 011 the desert. It is a used aud abused ear. Tom gets it going, but fails tu stop ii at the ranch, and ii plows through fences, a barn, a corn sliueker aud other obstacles, and finally stops in a cyclone cellar. Tom. also leaps a twenty-five foot stream with the ear in the big road race in the picture, which will bo screened on Tuesday tipxl. Boxing night. The many requests have decided to run a dance after the pictures on Boxing night.
