"Jakov Mikpv and Ikey." a new mus
Meal hodfee podge to the theatregoers of
-this city, will be the bill at tne j-,ync,
commencing with tomorrow's matinee.
This bill Is Wr laughing purposes only
and as ; played : by the popular Keating
and ; Flood Musical 4 Comedy company,
one cannot wish to see a better show.
The secret of the success at 'the Lyric
, is the short, , snappy hour and a half
- shows; 1 that time Is crowded a mecs
ley of mirth, music, dances, pretty cos
tumes and clever song bits that furnish
a most ideal entertainment.'' ' v;. '
"Jakey, Mlkey and Ikey" is purely
and simply a laughing show, and as the
title Indicates, there will be three lead
ing comedy parts, that of two Germans"
and a Hebrew, which will be ably ban
died by the Lyric's; favoiit, Edward
8. Allen, Jack Curtis and Frank Vack.
It has a distinct plot which centers
about an American who promised to
marry a Tarlatan, after seeing her . on
the stage. Out of her eta go clothing
'and unadorned With the gaudy makeup,
she Is .far -from being a beauty in her
own hirsute adornment, and looks mora
like a Hindu servant. . The American,
-wishing" to revoke the bargain, seeks
to "pass the buck" to two Germans, they
in turn jhandlng her along, to the Ho
brew. 'In their efforts to rid themselves
of the female many complicating and
laugnaDie situations occur. aii ins
- principals and "honey girl" chorus, un
der the direction of Allen Curtis, will
be seen at Its best. Mr. Curtla promises
the Lyric patrons a treat for the com
Ing week, not only from . an artistic
standpoint, but from a musical and
scenic standpoint as well. There will
be the usual two night performances,
commencing at 7:80 and 9:15, and
matlneo dally at 2:80, with a chorus
girls' contest on Friday night after each
performance as a special attraction,
