LYRIC.
The programme at the Lyric this week is of exceptional interest. It is headed with “A Bargain with Satan”; or “The Student of Prague,” a powerful- psychological story, revolving round ;the destinies of a poor student, who sells his soul to Satan. The devil gives the soul a new body, but the man’s other self pursues him relentlessly, and there is a terrible climax. The film is one of the finest examples of double photography ever produced. A prettily told drama is unfolded, in “A Doll for Baby, ’ in which a cowboy plays a prominent part. Topical happenings are expressed in a budget of news from the Gaumont Graphic, while the recent rose carnival at Christchurch, and a further assortment of dramatic and comic pictures make up an admirable bill. The Lyric symphony orchestra add greatly to the enjoyment of patrons with their tuneful selections.
