THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

"Why Men Tempt Women" will be the offering for the appearance o1 1 clever little Clara Turner and her fine
 company this evening": tomorrow aft ernoon, "A Modern Lady Godiva," the strong play with which she opened her l engagement yesterday afternoon. VII
 be repeated. and tomorrow evening
 ''The Eains-Annis Tragedy" a play
 written around the recent Occurrenc2
 in New York. will be presented. The
 offerings for the entire week will be
 of an unusual order. and Miss Turner
 who is really one of the most capable 1 repertoire &artists on the stage, should have the advantage of splendid audi
 ences for all the remainder of the
 week. The bill will change with each
 performance, and each play presented
 will be handsomely and effectively
 staged. Saturday 2 afternoon. the
 awards of prizes in the great spelling
 contest will be made. and there will
 doubtless be a large attendance of the
 children and their parents.
 "The Time. The Place and The Girl" 1" the great musical and dramatic suc- cess. will be produced. next Monday evening. The company is headed by the we'll known comedian. Arthur Dunn. as Happy Johnny Hicks. and assisted by such well known artists as
 
 Fitzgerald. Eulalie Jensen. c. G. Scrip ner. William O'Day and others. 'The 1 Time. the Place and the Girl,' is a comedy with music. full of lively ac- 1 ton. good sentiment. and. what is more than either. a number of original and artistic character types. Though the music is an attractive feature of the production. the plot is so neatly ! and masterfully arranged. it would b. an interesting play without the aid of melodies.
 When Elsa Ryan. as "The Blue Mousse" in Clyde Fitch's play of the same name which will be seen here next Tuesday. and Wednesday declares: I'm just hungry for little affection ate attentiOn.'' there are few men in | the audience who wouldn't gladly change places with the man whom she l is addressing. It all comes about over the temperament" of '"The Blue Mouse." who. when she feels sympa- thetic. can't help being friendly. She has been engaged by Rol1ett. secretary to the president of a railroad to imper- sonate his real wife. flirt with the president. and obtain for him (Rollett) a promotion. Rollett really loves his wife and is bored at the child-like af- stow on him. Quite to the contrary however. with the president. who also is married. But his Wife-well Mir. Fitch has drawn in her a character so entirely new to the stage that she must be seen to be appreciated. This mix-up gives a basis for the plot but, not content with this Mir. Fitch has drawn other characters into the tur- moil so that before the three acts are over the audience has been treated to a variety of the kind of laughter that last. In the cast are Miss RS1n. Rob- ert Dempster. who plays Pollett: Sam Reed. Albert Gran. Ralph Morgan, Marie Gerard. Lily Hall. (widow of the late Milt G. Barlow. the famous minstrel. and we'll known in this city), John E.

 Labor.

Hartford, Jan. 20-Yesterday saw the preliminary gathering of the an- nual congress of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor. The report of the president was presented in open meet ing MT. Donahue dwelt at some length on the action of the interstate commerce commission and the courts in their dealing with strikes and boy cots as interfering with interstate commerce. The abuse of the injunc- tion also came in for rebuke and nu- merous learned legal authorities were cited in substantiation of the argu- ment that the power of the courts thus exercised was unjust and without redress. since the judges held that their actions could not be invalidated.

POLI'S

! Everybody says: "This weeks bill al Polls is a sure winner" And then everybody else echoes: "Have you seen Hyams and McIntyre?" If you've seen the bill, of course you've seen Hyams
 & Mcintyre. They're the headliners this week. John c. Hyams and Leila Mcintyre, two of the brightest stars in the vaudeville Armament, have only last week completed a long run in the big New York vaudeville houses. They came direct from the Percy Williams houses to Polls Bridgeport and this city enjoys the unique distinction of having seen Hyams & Mcintyre first on any circuit outside of New York city in their bewitchingly attractive sketch "The Quakeress.' Their every word, their every note, their every ges- ture breathes the true artistic tempera ment. '"The Quakeress' is quite the most intensely interesting and wholly pleasing thing seen in vaudeville in many a season. It can't be very well described. It's spontaneous and active and able and artistic, and-well one might absorb all the adjectives known to the late Webster and still not give an adequate description of the "Quak- eresS."
 Some of the other features of this weeks bill rival the, usual vaudeville aggregation. Miss Florence Hamilton, Bridgeport woman who has made good' in stock productions, presents her sensational race track sketch Queen of the Turf Miss Hamilton is supported by an able company, in cluding J. Frank Burke, known well to Bridgeporters as competent lead ing man. Will H. Fox, the successful pianologist who played seven consecu- tive months at the Palace Theatre, London, is a Bridgeport boy Many of his old-time friends are here now and they are Hooking to Polls to witness Fox's presentation of his artistic and humorous musical skit, "Paddywhiski." The Sisters Meredith are with us again this season with their latest European success, Girls of All Countries" They are as pleasing as of yore. Great Richard, an accomplished female inn personator presents his aleidescopic dances and art-color production; the Chas. Ahearn Troupe of comedy-cy- clists give their famous burlesque bicycle race and a whirlwind of com edy at the finish. Mills & Morris are two Minstrel Misses who please in burnt cork skits. The electrograph has the latest stuff in motion pictures.
