Amusements
potrs
t A vitally appealing vaudeville and
jfnctuie program is shown at the Poli
; theatric, beginning Thursday after
'noon.' ..Many, Broadway . feature . acts
Qlave been brought to Bridgeport by
jftjie management with a five-reel pho
jtoplay of dramatic interest that holds
jwith expectancy until the final scene
of "The Little Gypsy" is shown.
yThe vaudevillian offering- is headed
by an excruciatingly funny farce en
titled "Setting Her Rights," in which
fmusic ahd dancing predominate with
t, mere man and suffrage, characters,
pt is brightened materially by the ad
dition of .a handsome chorus.
Anna Chandler, the girl who made
iKh s hit in Londan, has returned
, rwith elocution , and gestures . that
' tgreatly aid the wonderful personal
iappeal that she puts Into many clever
and specially, designed songs. Th
saudience rose to her catchy pdrf orm
iance. ' k - -
""When We Grow Up',' a' playlet of
ithe , country and city in two scenes
JJiows with startling truth the . di
versity of the country -bred girl upon
tSier return from theatrical engage
jments in the metropolis. The dialogue
lis light and airy and found favor with
all. ,--
J". John O'Mallcy, whose voice has been
ihighly commented upon by weratlc
.Titles, displayed a vocal power and
diversity of selection that will do
: Inuch-towards helping him attain his
eventual operatic attainment. .
The Balkans, whose wierd lnstru-
nentality is- wonderfully" complete in
he onenintr snot on the big bill re
ceived well deserved recognition and
,-ill not fail to entertain during' the
est of the week. -
PUAZA
f "In the Palace of the King," one of
Ihe .most marvelous photoplay specta
cles of : the season,, the production of
vhich required the services of 5,000
persons, 2,000 horses and hundreds of
fcostumes and special scenic Settings,
is" being shown in six acts as one of
Ine Plaza's big attractions for the lat
ter half of the week. The story Is a
inost delightful one. It is a romance
pt old Madrid and the unique realism
it the entire, piece tends to take one
out of modernity for a time at least to
; the historical settings of Madrid with
its, royalty,, grandees and court ladies.
It is a wonderful picture and will un
doubtedly, prove one of the biggest
drawing . cards of the season at the
Plaza, v i -i '
.' The , vaudeville program is unusually
pleasing - and well . balanced and is
headed by "Kidland," a miniature mu
sical comedy with seven clever young
people, in the cast. New song, num
bers', - novel dances and many funny
t comedy quips are offered and every
' thing is put over, in a manner that
could hot fail "to please. Special- scenic
equipment and many pretty costumes
are displayed."
The Two Kerns in their original
talking and acrobatic offering entitled
"Returning From the Fair," were an
: other; big hit. The Two Kerns are fin
ished performers and their acrobatic
work is quite extraordinary, while the
"rube
dialogue they present ,is very
amusing. , . . .y. ' . f
- Another splendid kit was staged by
Moore Jfe Jenkins, a pair of colored en-
tertainers who certainly- can; wiggle
thelr feet as v well as put over comedy
songs in. a' manner that won them-instant
favor , at yesterday's perform
ances. ' ' x- ... c"

WEST END THEATRE
Manager N. C. Lund of the new

near CXintcSi avenue, announces the
Vitagraph production of Hall Caine's
superb loyeystory, "The Christian," in
eight parts, which will be shown 'to
day, with matinee at 2:15.
- "The Christian" is the , best , story
ever written' by Hall Caine. HAs a
novel, it gained international fame
end -as a drama, it brought fame to
Miss VJola.'- Allen, who appeared in
its . star part for eight cdnsecutive
years. It is a dramatic masterpiece
even for a theatre, where it was phy
sically impossible 'to present many of
the important scenes. These same
scenes have been utilized in the pic
ture. -. y. " ' '
Miss Edith. Storey assumes the dif
ficult part made, famous by-Miss Viola
Allen. Miss Storey gives a. wonder
ful . impersonation, so much so that
she easily proves the claim to her be

on the screenj Earle "Wil
liams as at his best as John Storm,
giving the part a powerful interpreta
tion whieh has met with great praise.
Miss Storey and Mr. Williams are sup
ported by an all-star cast of ' Vita-
graph players.
' Never before has the Vitagrap"h
Co., or any other" company used so.
many picture stars in one produc
tion.. As a novel and later as a play
"The Christian" became such a tre
mendous vogue yiat : a - recital of its
iiuperb " story is ; superfluous. ' Added

LYRIC
"The Misleading Lady", continues
on her merry and misleading way at
the Lyric, to the result of intense en
joyment of the vast audiences as
sembled at each performance of this
really unique and attractive comedy
offering. Last night, the staff and
employes of the C. J. Mintz Co. stores,
both Bridgeport and. South Norealk,
formed a theatre party, and incident
ally presented Cecil Spooner, the pop
ular little star-, with a splendid little
floral token of their joint admiration.
In the form of reciprocation, the en
tire Cecil Spooner company will act
as a reception committee this after
noon, at the C. J. Mintz Co. ladies'
apparel emporium, at No. 11 S6 Main
street. The occasion being the third
anniversary sale event of this pro
gressive firm. This afternoon's at
tendance of the Cecil Spooner Com
pany, in behalf of the Mintz Co.'s big
anniversary day, causes the omission
of the Usual Friday afternoon re
hearsal jat the Lyric which in this
case, is a most important one, as next
week's production "Tess of the " Storm
Country" calls for special attention by
both players and producers, it bein
the heaviest as a dramatic work, as
well as massively scenic constructed
offering the Cecil Spooner Co. have
yet given. To "even, things',' however
Stage Director Lawrence has called
a special rehearsal of "Tess," for Sun
day afternoon. -'
"AMERICA FIRST"
The - Department of the . Interior,
through-its Bureau of Education, has
issued a , lithographed poster, "30 by
20 inches in size, which is being sent
to the various post offices, public
schools, and industrial establishments
of. the country, urging immigrants to
educate themselves for American citi
zenship.. '
In the foreground ' of the poster
"Uncle Sam" is represented as grasp
ing the band of an immigrant work
ingman, while in the background is
seena residence a public school, and
a .naturalization judge handing "citi
zen's papers" to an immigrant,
Under the bold-faced title, "Ameri
ca First." are urgent- invitations to
l-attend nignt school, learn English,
and become citizens. These invita
tions. ' with brief sentences setting
forth the advantages of such action,
are -given in English and In six im
migrant languages, vizr Italian,
Polisn, Yiddish, Lithuanian, Bohem
ian, and Hungarian.
Investigation has shown that there
ar in this country 3,000,000 foreign
born whites,-10 years and over, " who
are unable to' read or - even speak
English. More than one-half of these
immigrants are unable to read or
write in any language. ,'
As the posters will be hung ln.con-
spicuous places it is to be hoped that
xy means of this, pictorial and writ
ten invitation ' immigrants will have
their attention called to the night
schools .of their ; communities; and
that where there is any considerable
number of immigrants and no night
schools the poster may inspire the
authorities " in these communities to
establish such schools. This is a part
of , a more comprehensive plan for
preparing- immigrants . for American
life and- citizenship.
In spite of the big advance in cot
ton and woolen goods big bargains .can
