Another one of those bills where It is a difficult problem to pick the head liner prevails, at the Plaza theatre. It is difficult to ' pick . the 'headllner : for the reason that after carefully scan ning each individual act the only-conclusion to be reached Is that they are all equally good. -At the perform ance last night the applause was deaf ening at the conclusion of each" offer ing and clearly disclosed the fact that the audience was well pleased..

One of the biggest hits at the Fox Lyric this week is the slide announc ing the return of Miss Eleanor Cleve land and her players next Monday in a series of one act plays in conunction with the regular vaudeville and pic ture show. Mies Cleveland is now in New Tork rehearsing her 'company which is to include several Bridgeport favorite. The new show for the 'last three days is a fine one, and includes sev eral acts worthy of headline honors. Harry LeClaire with his female im personations is the hit of the show.

This act wlil be a great card for the children Saturday. Knight and Benson sang themselves into favor with a neat specialty. "Wood and Wood do a lot of crazy stuff but do it well and won many a laugh. Helen Davis sang and danced herself into favor. The Klnemaoolor again proved its worth as a drawing "attrac tion. There were several good sub ects including "Fixing Father" and a trip along the Rhine. The pictures im prove each change and through the aid of a new color filtering device all flickering is eliminated. The black and white pictures were also of the best. : i '- PARK THEATRE (By tbe Park Press Agent.) "THE OLD HOMESTEAD" The attraction at the Park theatre April 28th and 29th, Denman Thomp son's "The Old Homestead" now in its twenty-seventh year is one of the rich treasures of the American, stage. The old play long familiar to all sorts and conditions of men, is the finest blend of "quaint humor - and u helpful precept current in the theatre. Its pervading spirit is that of the tender and sim ple love of an old man for all that is simple and lovely, of an old man who might sing with -Jean Ingelow: ""I opened the doors of my heart and behold, i ' There was music within and a song. And .echoes did feed on the sweetness1, repeating it long." To go and see "The Old Home stead'' is like going home for a visit Joshua Whitcomb Is one of the most beautiful characters on the stage. Dear to the hearts of millions, no play ever produced i with such success, en dorsed by the press, public and man agers for over a quarter century, the grand old play will be presented with the; original favorites under the per sonal direction of Mr. Frank Thomp son. ' ' ROBIN HOOD The presentation of "Robin Hood" which will be heard again at the Park theatre on "Wednesday matinee and night. April 30th, will surely take rank as the greatest of ail revivals of this light' opera classic. The De Koven Opera Company was organized for the specific purpose of encouraging a taste for the beet works in the light opera repertaory and the present production is its first offering. With this in view, the management has been lavish in the way of expenditure to secure the best singers and the most amusing comedians who could surpass all of their predecessors In former perform ances of "Robin Hood.". Scenically the production has been made not only on a large scale, but wltjv due regard for the artistic side as well. English 'artists designed both the scenery and costumes, and the ever-present idea in the mind of the producer, Daniel V. Arthur, was to visualize as much as possible, a true picture of old Notting ham and-T Sherwood Forest as they must have been when King Richard I. reigned in England. TAXI GIRLS ON JOY RIDE AT PARK A collection of r specialty artists is the Taxi-Girls heralded as "A Merry Party of Joy Riders Speeding Through the Lanes of Laugh land" showing at the Park theatre today and tomor row. This production produced' under the personal direction of Joe Hurtig should make a real showing, but its lack of logical plot is distinctly supplied by Individuals in the cast .which are themselves the show and, realize true musical comedy and vaudeville spirit. The scenes are laid in .Mexico and with a pretty and sprightly chorus in which mingle real dancers who have proven themselves both in circus and stage productions lead the less initiat ed form true background for the work of prima-donnas, soubrettes and come dians. Fun and floci is not lacking and the coloring of the costumes is all that the eye can desire. An olio following the first act in which the Morin sisters sing and dance to the edification of the audience is a mainstay of the pro duction. And furthermore there are some real singers who put over "Teas ing Moon," "Goblin Man", "Swanee Shore" and other song hits in style. Ward and Bohlman rendering hu mor and songs besides leading in the character parts were greatly enjoyed. The Farrell-Taylor Trio, in blackface, brass and minstrelsy are too well known to need comment other than to say they are improving rather than re maining dormant. And there is Tom Carter, Marty Semon. Blanche Daven port, Ida Bayton and last but far from least Primrose Semon, a sou brette of marked ability whose songs did much to enliven the occasion. Altogether while lacking in contin uity of plot the Taxi-Girls make a showing which cannot be ignored by the regular devotees of burlesque and should attract all lovers of comedy, song and dance.

After conferring with the police Mr. Borden went to his hotel to get a few hours' rest before continuing the search.
