FIGHTING KANGAROO AT THE LYCEUAI “Box on, Jerry!” There wa s a largo attendance at the Lyceum last night when John Clark introduced his well trained and intelligent young kangaroo, Jerry the Fighter, for the three rounds hunt with Harry Firth, the Feilding boxing tutor. Jerry is a merry and sprightly animal, holds his head well hack to avoid the k. 0.. and springs off his tail literally and unexpectedly. His opponent has to watch, out all the time for the double kick that comes from these powerful hind legs when' Jerry balances himself upon hi s powerful tail. This writer would nob like to enter the ring with Jerry when lie is acouple of years and experience older. His bout last night was highly amusing, am.l there should be another big crowd to see his final appearance tonight. Appropriately enough, there is the first of a. series of boxing photoplays by Andrew Router on the pro-
| gramme. The Star photodrnmn, is “Mockery,” a. story based on the days of the Red. Terror in Russia. A peasant role is j portrayed by Lon Chancy with stvikI jng realism and many vicissitudes I overtake him when he aids a young j Countess, whom he learns to, love. I Ricardo, Cortez has the role of Dimitri, a young White’ Russian officer, while Barbara. Red ford nppear s as the beautiful young Countess for whose love both the peasant and the officer light a strange and grim battle.
