This photoplay played for three solid months at the Lyric theater in New York. The photoplay is very instructive and en- tertaining and gives one an idea of the dangers and wild beasts found in Africa.

The entire bill changes on Thursday and brings as the fea- ture attraction Marion Davie: who scored a big triumph in “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” in her new photoplay production “Adam and Eva.” AFRICAN HU) Tl\ £ A'l‘ LYCEUM Proving conclusively the calibre of Martin Johnson's Trailing Wild Animals in Africa, now showing at the Lyceum, attention should be called to the New York Times' rotogravure section of Sunday, which featured AL rarty and shown in detail in the pue- ture now to he seen at this popular playhouse, Abounding in interest- ing and educational as well as ex- citing scenes, the picture is actually thrilling in the scenes in which a huge rhino, charging down on the camera, is shot dead.
