THE LYCEUM.

A wonderful double feature Fox programme will be presented at the Lyceum to-night, and twice to-mor-row at 2.30 and 7.45. Headed by "The Great Night," starring William Russell, at his best, according t'o advance reports. The story writcen by Joseph F. Poland, gives Russell all (he opportunities he could desire to display his histrionic ability. In tins picture Russell is cast as the son of a millionaire jeweller, His father dies, and according to the terms of the will the young man must' marry vrithin a month. Desiring to escape the numerous offers of matrimony which follow the announcement of the contents of the will, the heir seeks out his friend the police commissioner, and obtains employment as a patrolman. Russell is rapidly leaving behind the western pictures in which he was formerly featured and is fast becoming familiarly identified with the modern type of stoiy. In the supporting cast are; Eva Novak, Winifred Bryson, Henry Barrows, Wade Boteler, Harry Lonsdale and Earl Metcalfe. The second feature is that famous comedian, Lu pi no Lane (who will bo well remembered in his recent great comedy, “The Reporter"), in "The Pirate,” which is said to be the limit; in laughter stunts, a Fox News and the delightful Symphony Quartette completes a perfect entertainment.
