MISS FLEMING'S LAST
 WEEK IN BRIDGEPORT

Two large audiences witnessed the production of "The Northern Lights"
 yesterday, the drama in which Miss Alice Fleming is making her farewell to Bridgeport audiences. She was greeted by two large houses with much enthusiasm. She may take part of the demonstration as compliment to herself, for the vehicle in which she appears falls much short considering 1t as drama" of some of the plays in
 which she has heretofore appeared at Polls. The Northern Lights is story of the wild west. There is big amy in it, wife murder, Indians, poi
 The uxorfcide is not an infrequent character in plays, nor necessarily ob- jectionable. Othello, for instance has maintained much popularity for some years, as a stage person although he smothers his Desdemona with a pill low ''in full view of the audience" But the author of Northern Lights ap- parently found a pillow a cumber- some device for wife murder. There fore he made his man a head surgeon at an army post, equipped him with a hypodermic syringe and a bottle of cnoiera germs and permitted him to inject the deadly dose into the plump, barred and altogether charming arm of Miss Frances Brandt who plays the wife, and plays it very well. John Ince played John Swiftwind assist ant surgeon at the Army Post, and illustrated again how much stronger he Is as an actor in parts which are roughly dressed and filled with the movement of outdoor life. For the nrst time in the history of his work at Polls he had not the duty of be- ing chief lover. This job fell to Stage Director H. P. Meldon, who played the part of Dan Horton, a govern ment Scout. MT. Meldon has a sym pathetic voice and manner of melt ing tenderness He made an excellent lover, of the middle aged type some what inclined to prosperity and em- bonpo1nt, which seems to be about all that the average playwright con cedes to the woman who has had hard luck in her first marriage and Is about to marry again
 Northern Lights is filled with action. There is not a dull moment in it. It IS excellently staged. Miss Fleming IS playing her farewell in it. For these reasons it should draw banner audiences. Who cares if, regarded as literature, 1t isn't the best ever

Overtures. looking toward a union with the Princess Alexandria, have been in progress repeatedly, but to-day's an nouncement is the first definite in formation made public.
