; Tho Lyric. ,
The Hoyta still bold the boards at
the Lyric and at. each performance
They seem to make more friends and
establish themselves more firmly with
the patrons of tho house. The pictures
are strong and novel. There are a
number of good laughs and then there
are pictures which are not supposed to
be funny but are Interesting. Miss Mc
Crary , Is still singing the illustrated
songs and it Is unnecessary to say that
she Is pleasing those who hear .her.
She has a rich sweet voice and 'her
singing is one of the pleasing fetures
of the entertainment furnished at the
Lyric, r..". v ' ; . . : .; 7
