Owing to the- untto-iny energy of tjjp
members of "Red Cross Team 12, head
ed Iby Assistant Superintendent of
Police Charles H. Suckley, ibid fair to
excel all others when the Red Cross
Drive opens here next (Monday.
In the first place Superintendent
Suckley has secured a concession, from
S. Z. Poll, the theatrical magnate,
what no other person or organization,
has so far been able to secure his
theatre on Main street along with the
regular show for a performance Tues
day night, (May 21. Not alone has he
secured the theatre and the show, but
he has booked as the pieca de resist
ance, Ueutenant "Smiling" Pat
O'Brien, of the Royal Flying Corps,
who will deliver a talk about his air
battles, capture by the Hun, his life
in a German prison camp and ulti
mate escape from HunlanJd1.
It will ibe remembered that lieuten
ant O'Brien is the man who wjaen be
ing transported to a retaliation camp
in Germany, escaped from his guards
by leaping out the window of a
swiftly moving express train and with
an abiding faith in God, his eye on
the North Star, ran, walked, crawled,
swam and dug through solid earth
with his bare hands to get under
heavily charged electric wires, he at
last sank to Ihis knees in prayer as he
landed safely in Holland.
His account of how he dropped 8,000
feet In a shell torn and disabled air
Diane, "placed among the dead, coming
to life and being made prisoner, life,
in a German camp, escape and wan
dering through Germany and Bel
gium, wearing a British uniform lor
72, has held huge audiences every
where spellbound and brings one Iback
to the stirring days that action writ-
esr tell about.
No less wonderful than his suffer
ing while in Hunland suffering all the
terrible brutality the Prussian over
lords could heap upon helpless pris
oners, Is his recuperation from
wounds and starvation and his recep
tion by King George V. at .Bucking
ham Palace. London. He was highly
complimented by the monarch who
conversed with him in private for 52
minutes, the longest audience granted
anvone below the rank of general.
Manager Matt Saunders, of Poll's,
promises one of the best shows of the
season for this Red Cross penorm
and he will have entire charge
'of all the stage arrangements for this
norfnrmaTice de luxe. The show will
(be the regular show for that half of
the week, but the aHdition of Ueu
tenant Pat O'Brien will put It in
Wass by itself and Manager Saunders
Is extremely proud of being the man
behind the gun on the occasion.
Tickets for the performance can
be reserved now. All seats downstairs
will be strictly reserved and will cost
$1.50 each, while the two balconlesr
will be sold out git the rate of $1 a
seat.
Assist. Superintendent Suckley and
the entire police force were loud In
their praise of S. Z. Poll's generosity
which, coupled with the aid of Man
ager Saunders will make the loath-
coming event rank as an epoch In
local theatrical history.
J
American Ambassador Sharpe has
just sent the following cable to the
War Personnel Board of the Young
Men's Christian Association: "Ap
palling need workers with. American
troops. Minimum requirement today
600 for approximately zuu important
unoccupied points. Many of these on
firing line. Secretaries servng alone
at front are breaking under terrific
stsain." We must have immediate ad
equate release to avert catastrophe."
This cable has been relayed on yo
W. Seymour Lacy, general secretary
of tie Bridgeport Young Men's Chris-'
tian Association, tnai me local or
ganization might bringbefore able
business "and professional men of
Bridgeport this great need of our
army and those of our allies, France
and Italy. '-Qeneral Persuing has "re
peatedly cabled that there was im
perative need for more secretaries
abroad. Both Italy and - France
through their generals as well as
their state departments have asked
the Young Men's Christian, Associa
tion to take hold of the wort In their
armies and accomplish for their men
what was being acomplished in the
armies of the Canadian and British
by the work of tne xoung men s
Christian - Association.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
task will be realized fom the fact
that 1,000 to 1,200 men are neded
every month for the three or four
months to meet the demand. There
are literally hundreds of huts without
an association secretary in them to
serve the soldiers. Many otners are
but poorly manned because they have
been stripped of a sufficient number
of workers In order to at least put
one worker in some of these other
posts.
Bridgeport, so far. Is far behind
the other cities of the country and
New England in the number of high
grade men who have been willing to
offer themselves for this service. It
is hoped that a response adequate to'
the size of Bridgeport and the num
ber of able men here may be received
in the face of this urgent call from
our state department.
L. T, "Warner, A. W. Burritt, Robert
S. Hincks or W. Seymour Lacy, gen
eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will
be very glad to meet and talk with
any men who are ready to do this
service.
