LYRIC PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT. "THE FACE OF THE WORLD." Do you love romance combined with thrills and spiced with humour? Then be sure to see "The Face of the AVorld"—a Hodkinson jiroduction, released by Selznick at the Lyric Pictures to-hight. There's a fire scene in "The Face of the World" that will bring you up on your toes, and an auto wreck that will make every nerve in your body tingle! And a whole lot more that helps to make it one of the greatest pictures ever created, and in addition "The Blue Fox" serial, and comedies, sccnics, and topical make this one of the best programmes shown at this theatre for a long time.

FRIDAY NIGHT. "OUT OF THE CHORUS." A web of circumstance had weaved itself about the unhappy bride. The cruel,, unjust trap her husband had set was smoothly bringing ruin and disgrace to the erstwhile Revue Girl. She had been attacked in her home by a scoundrel who suddenly and for no apparent reason had fled wildly, leaving his hat and stick in the hall. It was these articles which inflamed her husband's jealousy when he rushed to his wife's room and fired five shots at a closed cupboard. She knew Ormsby had gone, nobody else had been in the house, yet before her horrified eyes a thin stream, of blood trickled from beneath the cupboard door. Who was behind, the door? See Alice Brady in this big Paramount play "Out of the Chorus" at the Lyric Pictures next Friday. A comedy, with an entire absence of grotesque makeup and slapstick method, is to be seen on the same programme. It is one of the new Harold Lloyd comedies released by Paramount, entitled "Now or Never." Good clean comedy and not a few thrills are distilled from a Pullman, a flivver, a couple of drunks, hud sundry Other matter. The distillers are known as the Boy, the Girl and the Child, each being an artist at the game. Harold Lloyd is at times wonderful with some of his originally clever stunts. The Paramount magazine and a- beautiful scenic make up a tip-top programme.
