TO-NIGHT. j '-RENT PKEE." The display of intelligence in a dog invariably interests both men and women. Never has there been seen in motion pictures a dog more intelligent than is "Pal," a canine who supports Wallace Reid in his latest Paramount picture. "Rent Free," which comes to the Lyric pictures to-night. In his role "Pal'' does everything but talk, and in one scene aids his master to escape an irate landlady- by throwing j the contents of a suitcase, piece by piece, out of the window. The produc- i tion affords Wallace Reid one of his i best roles —that of an impecunious ar- ! list. Lila Lee is leading woman. "In I the Days of Buffalo Bill," .serial, audi Sonne'! t comedy, "When Love is Blind," and the latest Paramount news and Travelogue complete the programme. TO-MORROW (SATURDAY). AT 2.:;0 AND 8 P.M.
