et T L, ~a T re Unless otherwise Indicated, theatrical n; written by the press agencles for the respectly AT THE LYC Warner Brothers’ UM picture and Patsy Ruth Miller, and tense dramatic success “The Man in the Shadow,” with Myrtle Stedman, David Torrence and Mary Allister, are the two headline at-| tractions at the Lyceum through Wednesday. | “So This Is Paris” is a dazzling| eomedy drama of the bright ligh!si in the French social center. The! story evolves around a young mar-| ried couple who visit a Paris cafe. A dancer winks at the wife. The| husband is indignant but is appeas- ed an instant later when a vamp, in the person of Lilyan Tashman, gives him a wink. “The Man in the Shadow” is a| mute argument against execution on circumstantial evidence and in this picture the young prisoner, found guilty and sentenced to death has already begun his march to the electric chair before his mother and sweetheart have been able to locate | the evidence which alone can prove his innocence. The picture is tense from start to finish and is one of the best of the heavier types of photodramas, pair- ing oft remarkably well with “Soj This is Paris.” LEW WILLIAMS AT PALACE Of all the comedians that have already played at the Palace theater this month it safely be said that Lew Willlams is the star of them all. The comedy of Mr. Williams is natural. His partner in fun, George Rubin is a comedian of high calibre. The Chic-Chic Revue as the Wil- liams show is known by is more of a regular musical ‘comedy than an ordinary tab show. It appears that everything is script, i. e. there are no old bits from burlesque but all newly written material including the musical numbers. The chorus is one of ' youthful heauty and their dancing numbers are a treat. !

AGREES T0 RELEASE OF FUND Chaplin to Post Bond for Tax Deficiency L | Washington, Jan. 25 P—The gov- | |ernment today agreed to permit {Charlie Chaplin to obtain money he has in a New York bank and against which an income tax lien had been | placed. The actor will be permitted to post | a bond on the funds in the New | York bank, which are estimated at more than $600,000. Bond will be | posted in New York within a few | days under the arrangement worked out today between his lawyers and officers of the internal revenue bu- reau. The government liens against more than $1,000,000 of Chaplin’s funds {and property in California, however, | will stand, out of which his wife, | Mrs. Lita Grey Chaplin, is seeking |to collect alimony. No attempt to | | release the California funds has been | made by the Chaplin attorneys.

Most of the money in New York belongs to the Charles Chaplin Film | corporation. American Men Said to Be Best Dressed in World | Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 25 (A—The American man is the best dressed male in the world today, declared Charles F.

Mr. Wetzel said that the Tuxedo is rapidly being tabooed at social functions and has been relegated to the class of “club and stag attire.” The full evening dress, he declared, is growing rapldly in popularity.
