TO-NIGHT. “THE MAN HUNTER.’’ D. 11, either stood for Dick Humpon. a hard w orking inventor, who in a nervous state had consented to manufactum lake dollar bills, or it may signify Dan Holst fad. one of the cleverest crooks and go-between men in this country. AVm. Grady, the great detective. had been murdered. The only clue was a small gulden cigar clipper, engraved with the initial- D. H., which was found beside the dead body. Both Hampton and Holstead disappeared ou the following night. Did they both hatch a plot to jointly destroy the man who was about to arrest them; See this stirring mystery drama at the Lyric pictures to-night at S. “The Man Hunter” is a c-lever North-west mounted police story from the pen of Alvin J. Xietz, who recently adapted two huge success, “The Gringo Devil ' and “Battling Kid” for the screen. Some splendid supporting films accompany ibis feature.

FRIDAY NIGHT. “AFTER THE SHOW.” Jack Holt, Lila Lee and Charles Ogle are a wonder trio in the Paramount picture, “After Ike Show.” at the Lyric pictures next Friday. From the moment I’op O’Malley meets Eileen, the penniless chorus girl in “After The Show.” the spectator is irresistibly attratted t-> the story until the final scene, it has a magnetic effect, and

i-arriL-s one- far out of oneself. The 'lory of two loves so different in character. is set in a wonderful background "f dazzling color and Ufe. Jack Holt m a convincing ‘‘angel’-' of a musical show, and dainty Lila Lee, as the chorus girl lie loves, add; n truthful portrayal. Charles Ogle Lnve.-!s in the role of Pop 0 ’Halley, the self-appointed guardian of Hileen, a realism which charms. "William de ilille has produced a masterly picture. Some big supports include a Sennett comedy “Up in Af's Place,-'' a Burton Holmes' - travelogue, nnd a further instalment of the “Perils of the Yukon” serial.
