If you miss the new service installed at the Lyric commencing today, you will miss the greatest motion pictures ever made. The feature for today will be a splendid one. nearly everyone is familiar with Shakespear's delightful comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew.” For countless years stage productions of this famous old classic have been given. The motion picture production of "The Taming of the Shrew" is quite as delightful and authentic as any stage production that has yet appeared. The costuming of the play is true to the period in which the story is laid, and the acting is very cleverly done amid interior and exterior settings of great beauty. The story runs as follows: There lived in Padus a rich gentleman named Baptista, who had three marriageable daughters, but the eldest, Katherine was iiossessed of a hasty temper and earned the title of "Katherine, the Shrew." The distressed father had ♦owed that his younger daughters should not wed until a suitor had claimed "Katherine, the Shrew." By chance, a nobleman, named Petruebio, hearing the remarkable stories about the shrewish Katherine, vowed to marry her and tame her fiery spirit. Being a clever man he married Katherine and bore her off in triumph to his castle, where he first starved her. tiien robbed her of her sleep and otherwise broke her proud spirit, with the result that she became a dutiful and obedient wife. Marriage on the other hand changed the gentle disposi tion of her sisters, until they Warne as tempestuous as Katherine had been before her marriage. You will enjoy this superb feature, with its at mosphere of clean, wholesome comedy. and of course you will want the children to see it. The prices for tonight will be five cents to nil. No higher.
