PARK THEATRE
J-
'An attraction of unusual merit Is
iPromised a.t the Park theatre begin
ning tonight, where the "Happy Wid
ows" Company opens for the rest' of
the -week. The organization, which
la headed this season by -those twe
wetl-known comedians and funmakexs,
Jos. K. Watson and Will., H. Cohan,
.will offer a musical comedy in two
acts entitled, "A Marriage of Con
venience." Those who have witness
cd the piece describe it as the funniest
'production ever presented on the cir
cuit. Fifty people in addition to the
stars are employed, including twenty
of the prettiest and withal daintiest
chorus girls ever gathered in one
iroupe. Special music and headline
vaudeville specialties are additional
i features. Matinees as usual.
: The return of George. Kleine's won-
U3erful photo-play "Quo Vadis," is a
j jnost welcome one. It will be present -!
ed at the Park theatre on next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday and will
.undoubtedly be even a greater success
than on its previous visit, if the de
mand for seats is to be the governing
criterion. It is hard to describe lihis
wonderful spectacle which keeps the
audience for two hours and fifteen
minutes frpell-ound. "Quo "Vadis" is
& wonderful photo-play, and truly the
very acme of perfection in its class.
Quo Vadis" established a record run
of six months at the Astor theatre.
New York, and three months at the
iTremont theatre, Boston. ,-
POLTS THEATER
Today inaugurates the most , elabor
ate offering yet made at the big Poll
.'Theatre .Main street. A bill of vaude-rt-llle
stare headed toy that unparallel
ed military - act of lightning speed,
Jdrills, bottle-scenery- and the storming
.of a fort under what is said by sol
diers to be almost actual condition of
(cannonading, scaling and hand-to-
hand conflict. Fourteen persons are
included in the cast and in i two sets
.the most realistic battle scene is en-
(acted.
Ed Morton, .-America's most famous
omedy singer appears with his in-
mita-ble tyle. This name is the most
idely known and as he comes to
iPolls directly from Keith successes
atrons are assured of a most novel
end unique entertainment
I Sidney Broughton and Grace Turn
iter, stars of musical comedy present
to. one act musical tabloid, full of the
(most infectious and pungent humor,
entitled "Just Landed" and said to be
(one. of the most charming Irish idyls
jyet produced.
I Helene & Justine,, two "beautifully
gfowned girls, whose technique upon
rthe piano is unchallenged, with the
e.id of two pianos, present a. dainty
end somewhat different act. This will
Zlease all lovers of the refined.
The bill also includes two unique
acts in Iouis Cranatt, the whistler
called "The Human Bird" . and Fre
voll, the shadowgram hist whose sil
houetts are excruciatingly funny.
As a. special feature. picture
"'Trooper Billy" has been selected as
. most appropriate. It is a eti'.-ring
rwestern Indian drama with a-beauti-tf
ul romance woven throughout. The
special Pathe Bulletin is shown today
among other regular releases. Poli
is today conceded the hest place in
which to see up-to-date, clear and in
teresting films. With the famous
Homer's Odyssy, shown Monday of
next week, it will attain the pinnacle.
THE PLAZA
By special arrangement with book
ing offices in New York, Manager Jeff
Oallan has secured the world-famous
fDeodato as the headliner at the Plaza
JTheatre beginning today. Deodato is
ithe sensational Italian necromancer
aind magician who has astounded the
ftheatre-going public of the old world
end the new with his wonderful tricks
end illusions. His feats of magic are
.enchanting and breathtaking and in
."their weirdness they absorb the keen
est Interest f the audience. It took
ryears of study and perseverence on
jftu part of Deodato to accomplish his
bricks, which have caused such wide
spread comment in the theatrical
' Jtr-9'd and it took thousands of dollars
to stage these tricks and illusions.
Another big attraction on the Plaza
erngram for the last three days are
Haggerty and IeClair presenting
their comedy sketch entitled "Casey
the Butcher." This clever pair have
a gilt-edged reputation as real laugh
setters and their act is one big
scream.
Watson and Lloyd will also appear
In a comedy singing, talking and danc
ing skit that is bound to meet with
nopular favor. Watson and lioya
come heralding their success in other
cities and Bridgeport theatregoers
will find a real treat in the entertain
ing line in this act.
Hazel Crosby, known as "The Girl
With the Golden Voice" will have a
distinctive spot on this splendid Dill.
Miss Crosby has a tund or personal
magnetism and a repertoire of mag
netic songs as well. Her handsome
and extensive wardrobe has won for
her the covetous title of "vaudeville s
queen of fashion."

Acting upon the impulse of the mo

The garage manager replied that the

A few snnutes later he was behind
the steering wheel of the fast machine,
picking his way ont of town.
Blount reached the entrance to the

suspense.
At . the dinner . table the - professor
held forth dietatorially upon matters
pertaining solely to the pliocene age
and never once suffered the table con
versation ' to come ' within several mil
lions of years of 'ithe twentieth cen
tury, and at the dispersal only there
was no dispersal it was his father
who led . the way to the drawing room
and persuaded Patricia to go to the
piano.
The young man with, the fighting
determination. In the back part of his
brain was ' willing enough ' to listen to
Grieg and Brahms ' as interpreted by.
Patricia, but the greater matter was
still 'outweighing the- lesser. Later,
when Miss Anners had played herself
out, the talk went back to the dino
saurs and the pterodactyls, and when
Evan Blount .finally went away to
Bmoke he did it alone. -
The Wartraee den was an annex to
fb0 dining room, and through the
looped back portieres he could hear
the animated hum of the prehistoric
conversation, in which Patricia had
now joined, as a loyal daughter should.
Hoping .: against hope that the pro
fessor would some time go to bed and
that his father, would come to the den
tor his bedtime whiff at - the long
stemmed pipe, Blount" smoked and
waited. When his patience was finally
rewarded It was not the honorable
senator who drew the portieres aside
and entered the cozy smoking room.
It was Patricia, and she was alone.
"I thought perhaps I should find you
here," she said calmly, taking, the easy
chair at the opposite corner of the
hearth. "Did we bore yo to extinc
tion?" "Not quite," be laughed. "But since
I hadn't got myself born ,. 6,000,000
years ago I can't somehow seem to
galvanize a very active interest in the
dead and, buried periods:"
"Nor I," she confessed frankly,
''though for papa'e safce J. do try to.
But for us who are living today there
are so many problems of really vital
importance, problems that the ptero
dactyls never' knew anything about."
"I know," said the young man, half
absently. "I . am - np ' against one of
bthem right now, and I don't know how
to meet it."
"Will it bear tellfTjg?'!, shejiskejr.

AndThcr hoped' that tJie, sympathy" In
her tone was personal rather than
conventional. .
"It will not only bear telling; it de
mands to be told, to some one whose
sense of right and wrong has not been
drawn and quartered and flayed alive
until It has no longer life or breath
left with which to protest"
Thereupon he told her all that had
happened to him since the evening he
had left the sleeping car at Aretas,
concluding almost shamefacedly with
the story of the lumber magnate's at
tempt at corruption, of which he sup
pressed nothing but the fact that the
professor's name appeared in Mr.
Hathaways list of shareholders.
When he made an end her eyes were
Bhlning, either with quickened sympa
thy or indignation he could not de
termine which. - ' -'
"What did you do?" she asked, .re
ferring to the incident of the after
noon. .
"I didn't dor-half enough," fee fumed.
"1 am afraid I let Hathaway get away
without my telling him plainly enough
What a hopelessly irreclaimable scoun
drel he is. ' I made a mistake in not
throwing him out bodily."
"Ton made your greatest mistake In
the very beginning, Evan," she said
decisively. "Ton should have made a
confidant of your, father."
"I did try to at first," he, protested.
"But. the game is everything, and
everybody plays it my father, his
wife, the railroad officials and the pol
iticians. Surely you wouldn't say that
I should have let my father put me on
the state ticket as a candidate?"
"Certainly not," was the quick reply,
"not unless you were convinced of the
purity of his motived But If you have
been telling me the truth and all the
truth it would seem that you didn't
stop to Inquire what that motive-might
be."
"What was the use r6f inquiring?
He is the boss of the machine. , He
would have used the machine to put
me into office as attorney general.. In
other words, I should have owed my
election not to the will of the people,
but the will of one 'man, and that
man my nearest kinsman. Under such
circumstances would It have been pos
sible for me to administer the office
.without fear or favor?"
"I don't know why not; she return
ed. "Your 'nearest kinsman,' as you
call him, would have been the last
man to interfere. Wasn't that the
very reason he gave for wanting to
put you on the ticket?"
"I know," said Blount, whose mind
was beginning to cloud again. "But
there are so many other mysteries. I
am not sure at this blessed moment
that my father hasn't conspired with
Mr. McVickar to put me just where I
am,"
Her smile was gently reproachful.
"It Is my poor opinion, Evan, that you
don't half appreciate -your father," she
said. "Worse than that, you don't
know him. But that is beside the pres
ent mark, art all events. What are you
going to do?"
I have already done it I have
wired my resignation to Mr. McVickar.
and he will doubtless accept it."
She was looking him fairly in the
eyes. "That is the second unwise
thing you have done. Evan, you are
sadly, in need of a balance vwheel."
