"Hello, -BIU,' at the Lyric.

opened at the Lyrio yesterday, to two
capacity houses. In . the form of a
musical comedy It Is ons continuous
laugh from the rise of tha first curtain
to Its final fall. Mr. Athon In the part
of William Fuller, who has been ar
rested In a' gambling raid on the eve
of his wedding, is the cause of all the
fun and Is very ably assisted by Mr.
Howard as the general fixer.
"Bill" (Mr. Athon) Is the most cheer

tell in order to square his absence,
with his wife, Is really the whole show,
The play la cast well and reflects
credit upon the stage director. Jack
Bennett, who, by the way, is the real
"Bill." and which is handled by him
In the best of style.
Miss Knowles, as the newly wedded
wife, handles a difficult role In her
usual acceptable manner. The ladles
of the company wear some handsome
gowns. The musical numbers are par
ticularly well directed and staged, and
serve to show the worth of the popular
members of the company. The stage
settings, painted by Lee Hutton and his
assistants, are good. . "Hello, Bill" will
be at the Lyric all week, with matinees

nal revenue, waa resumed today In tha
United States court .The case, it will
be remembered, evoked a sharp con-
xnst : Detween tna state and federal
courts, the Dade county superior court
' holding. 6tegall In contempt because .he
declined to answer before the grand
jury a question as to what was being
nwuiuiaciurea at me curefaon distil

on tha other hand, upheld the gauger,
taking tha stand that his oath and bond
forbade him to divulge tha desired in-
lormauon. f
The Issue la regarded aa ona of great
Importance, especially In prohibition
states or localities. Tha decision is
awaited with interest as it will afford
a precedent for state oourta In the trial
of alleged violations of tha prohibition
