NATIONAL AND LYRIC THEATRES. Milton Sills, the popular First National star, has a somewhat unusual role in "The Making or O'Malley," the principal attraction to be shown on a double programme coming: to the National and Lyric Theatres with the change of programme 10-morrow. In this feature, the star has the role or a regular New York policeman. He is the friend of the children on his beat, and has a kind heart, but when it comes to fighting: ■law-breakers be Has no equal. He is responsible for the capture of a dang-erous gang of rum-runners, and 13 the central feature, in a series of thrilling: adventures. At one stage, scheming brains land him in an awkward position with his chiefs, btft be clears his name and receives all the credit that is flue to him. or course, there is a romance running- through the story. Pretty Dorothy Mackail is the lady who loves the offlcer. There is a big supporting cast. The second picture will be "Durand or the Bed Lands," a new William Fox production, starring the daring Buck Jones. The mm records the daring exploits of a beloved 'outlaw, and gives Jones an opportunity to display all his hard riding , and lighting , prowess. "Love end Lions," a Fox Imperial comedy, will also be screened, together with tbe usual Fox News and Gaumont Graphic. GRAND REVUE. A novel entertainment will be presented by Miss Muriel Brown and her clever pantomime children in " Grand Hevue," at the Town Hall Concert Chamber next Saturday. Those who were fortunate enough to see this little troupe or juvenile wonders in their last successful production, " The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe " will no doubt be looking- rorward with keen expectancy to this event which promises to be more successful tnan its predecessor. The plan is now open at Lewis R. Eady and Son, Ltd.
