LYRIC THEATRE.

The Lyric always draws like a magnet. A novel series of pictures is shown this week in “Down the Crater of Vesuvius,” striking a top note in novelty and daring. The operator stayed for twenty minutes at a depth of 1200 feet in order to take pictures of the interior of the volcano. He was accompanied by two Italian guides. The intrepid photographer was as deep in the crater of Vesuvius as any man can ever go, and the result of his investigations marks another cinematographic achievement. The programme embraces a host of attractive subjects: “The Third String,” “The Story the Gate Told,” “Cardinal Wolsey,” “Through the Quercy District,” “A Night Out,” and many others. The orchestra contributes a large quota to the general enjoyment.
