LYRIC AND GRAND
NEW PICTURES TO-MORROW The current programme at both the Lyric and Grand Theatres will be presented for the last time this evening. This includes “Romance of the Underworld,” an intriguing story of New York night life and of a girl who broke away from all its sordidness with Mary Astor and Ben Bard in the leading roles; also “Riley the Cop,” an amusing story of the misadventures of an American policeman in Europe, starring Louise Fazenda and J. Farrell McDonald. An entirely new programme will be screened at both theatres to-morrow, headed by “Champagne,” a sparkling comedy of a headstrong girl played by Betty Balfour. "Champagne” is an excellent English production. In addition to Miss Balfour, the cast includes Jean Bradin, the handsome young actor, who appeared with much success recently in A. E. Dupont’s “Moulin Rouge.” The locale of the film passes across two continents, first starting in New York, the story goes to Europe in the most extraordinary manner. Betty, daughter of a millionaire, sc;ts out in her fathers airplane to catch the liner half across the Atlantic. The second attraction at both theatres to-morrow will be “Homesick,” starring the inimitable Sammy Cohen in a. comedy of a transcontinental bicycle race, with a fortune and a bride as the first prize.
