SMITHS.

Antonio Maiori. the celebrated Ital- ian actor, will be seen here this even ing, with his own company, in the sensational drama, ''The Mysteries of Paris A brilliant farce will follow the play, and the Italian residents of this city will certainly enjoy a treat.
 ''Forty-Ffve Minutes from Broad way George M. Cohans original Burns the slangy ex-prize- fighter, and Frances Gordon as "Plain Mary, the housemaid and the original cast, will be seen here tomorrow evening. "Forty-Five Minutes From Broad way is in three acts, all of the scenes being laid in the suburban town of New Rochelle, which is three-quarters of an hour from Broadway, New York City, hence the title. While it is in no sense musical comedy some of the most popular songs that have yet come from George Cohan's pen, such as Mary Is Grand Old Name" !" and ''So Long, Mary" 1T Want to be Popular MiliOnaire'' and several oth- CTS are rendered during the progress of the action of the play, and what is un- usually termed the ''chorus'' in this style of entertainment consists in this production of eight young women who in personal beauty, clever dancing and vocal accomplishments atone for any possible lack of numbers.
 When William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismcr produced George Broad hurst's play of "The Man of the Hour" on December 6, 1906, in New York City, the success of the piece was well-nigh sensational. "The Man of the Hour" will be the attraction here for the latter half of this week when it will be splendidly acted by the Brady and Grismer Company, made up of the same we'll known and able play CTS who were engaged in the original New York run of the play. The en- gagement includes a matinee Satur- day, and seats are now selling.
 
 'The Montana Limited" a play of the West, as the title indicates will be presented the first three days of next week, at popular prices. There will be daily matinees-

FIERCE FIGHTING AND MANY
 ARE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
 Calcutta, Jan. 5.-The religious riots between Mohammedans and Hindus have assumed alarming proportions and there is danger that all India may be engulfed in a fierce religious war in which the British government would find 1t impossible to take sides without preciDitating a native revolt.
 Following Sundays riots in which more than dozen Hindus and Moham- medans were killed and many wounded, the Hindus attacked the Mosque at Titaghus, destroying the sacred fittings demolishing the walls and killing at least one Mohammedan priest whose body was found in the ruins. The gov ernor of the town received an official emisary, from the Mohammedans who informed him that his people had no quarrel with the British but preferred to die rather than be forced to insult a friend. The Hindus were under British protection.
 With fanatical cries, the Mohamed- ans charged the town but were driven back with severe losses. Again they attacked but were forced to fall back. A third attempt to break the cordon was made before the frenzied Moham- medans finally retired, bearing large number of wounded with them and leaving a number of dead upon the field. The official losses have not been reported.

 His Account

He May If Speaker Cannon Certifies
 His Account
 Washington, Jan. 5.-In view of the recent reported statement of Cover nor-elect Lilley, it is expected here that he will not resign as a member of the House, although inaugurated Gov ernor next Wednesday.
 1t was pointed out yesterday that in 1880 the House decided that a mem- Der from Maine could also hold a State office without violating the Federal Constitution. Whether Lilley will re- ceive the salary of member of Con- gres from January 6 to March is another question Laws were enacted in 1862 and 1872 authorizing forfeiture of salary and travelling expenses of members who are absent on adjourn ment day, or who withdraw from their seats without the consent of the House, except on account of illness. These laws were last enforced in 1894 when Speaker Crisp used them to maintain quorum. Sergeant-at- Arms Casson says he will pay Lilley if Speaker Cannon certifies his ac- count. Cannons secretary, Busbey, says Lilley's case has not been con- sidered.

THE THEATRES
POL.I'S

Unquestionably the most magnificent vaudeville production ever given to a Bridgeport audience is "The Love Waltz" Jesse Lasky's superb Viennese operetta which heads the big post holiday bill at Polls this week. ''The Love Waltz" is a second Merry Widow replete with as great a pro- fusion of brilliant musical stage and costuming effects as the latter, but of course in more abbreviated form. Twenty five people present the brilliant offering and the cast includes Audrey Maple, acknowledged the prettiest girl in vaudeville. Alfred Keppeler and a host of other well known comic opera and musical comedy artists. The musi- cal hits are given by a chorus of 26 mixed voices all highly cultivated. brighten some of the situations. D-otty girls, gorgeous costumes, dazzling staging and a pleasing story, all com bine to make the Love Waltz one magnificent hit. The piece is the most pretentious and expensive in vaude- vile, it having been estimated that the sum of $10,000 has been expended in its creation and production. ''The Love Waltz" is easily the greatest of the Jesse l.. Lasky productions, which have made the name advanced vaude- vile" really mean something.

 One of the best hits outside the big headline attraction this week is the original vaudeville version of the Sal ome Dance by Bert Kalmar & Jessie Brown. two of the most talented inn personators and singers and dancers in the variety world. These clever per- formers can be compared to Rock &s Fulton without injustice to the latter stars. Martini & Maximillian in their Imaginable burlesque magic are scream: Bradna & Derrick. accom- plisheG bareback riders. presenting their sensational Barnum & Bailey arenicA exhibition using two horses, is another hit. Both Miss Bradna and MT. Derrick are members of the Bar mum & Bailey performers staff and prominent in the Benevolent Order of Tigers. Otto Bros.
