IRENE RICHI AT WORLD THEATRE.

A popular novel furnishes the story for "A Lost Lady," the chief attraction at the 5.15 and 9.20 per- formances in the World Theatre to- day and, to-morrow.

THE US. ARMY AIR CORPS.

NEED FOR EXPANSION.

Washington, Nov. 23, Major General Mason M. Pat- rick, army air chief, expressed a belief in his annual report to-day that expansion of the army air corps would be recognized as necessary even before the present five-year programme has been completed.

"A Lost Lady" tells of Marian Forrester who craves the wild, emo- tional joy of youth, rather than the staid content of her marriage to an elderly railway magnate. The impetuous love-making of a bold young cavalier soon wins her heart, and Danishes the accusing finger of conscience, until forsaken, she gra dually loses hold on herself. But then her finer side makes a poignant struggle for supremacy and wins.
