LYRIC OFFERS GREAT FUN "Tlie Kong Room" Farce 'of Dillon and King Makes Hit. For holiday week the Lyric Musical Comedy Compsny is suffering one of Dillon King's comedy concootlons en titled "The Rong Room." the latest product from the ptns of these clever comedians. The little farce teems with fun and ridiculous situations, and tne comedy reaches side-splitting climaxes. As an "eloper" who steals away a "handsome and beautiful woman." Ben T. Dillon la pursued by the young wo man's cowboy brother. The automobile breaks down and the "runaways" and their chauffeur are compelled to stop at a country hotel. Complications arise when the "fair one" and the Jewish chauffeur (Will King), by some mis take on the part of the landlord, rent the same room. Maude Rockwell and Fred Lancaster, as Jack Wlnfleld and his wife Nellie, are stranded in the . hotel without money or Job. Fun runs riot when each, desiring to surprise the other, pawns clothing and procures a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Nellie de cides to give one turkey to a poor family. This thought also presents it self to Jack. They have no turkey for dinner, and Jack must "work out" his, room rent. The feature Is the medley by Dillon and King, which evokes great applause. King's "psthetlc recitation" causes tha audience to clamor for more Among the musical numbers are "Don't Call Me Mister Hayseed." "Lit tle Puff of Smoke. Good Night." and "King Chanticleer."
