THE THEATRES

Mystery, mystery everyWhere, put the greatest place of mystery will be at Polls all of next week when that wonderfully weird and mysterious Candies" will have it's initial appear ance before Bridgeport audience, be- ing the bill to be presented by Pol1 all star stock company all next week. beginning with the matinee on Mon day. The play is founded on the famous novel of the same name and was used by that eminent actor, D. M Holland as a starring vehicle with the greatest success.
 The scenes of the play are laid at and have to do with the eccentricities of John Marshall Glenarm, a whimsical old man, who by the aid Of his man servant Bates, who is himself some culated a report of his sudden death. A will is found naming one Arthur Pickering as executor and leaving the entire estate to John Glenarm. the oid mans grandson. The will contains several clauses, however. among which arm shall wed Marion Devereaux, a ward of the old man and perpetuate the name of Glenarm. A student Of human nature the old man knows full well that his grandson will refuse to carry out the clauses of the will but by so doing will nevertheless fulfill the real intentions of the elder Glenarm.
 The lawyer Pickering who turns out something of a rascal with the aid of a confederate tries to gain admittance to the Glenarm house known as the House of a Thousand Candles, believ- ing. there are treasures concealed in some hiding place. Young G1enarm and his friends. however. circumvent the plot and after several strikingly effective scenes the curtain falls on a general clearing up of the entire my stery. During one of these scenes what is probably one of the most wonderful surprises ever seen on a stage, but of which it would be unfair to give an advance inkling, is enacted
 Miss Mabel Montgomery the new leading woman will make her debut with this company, playing the part of Marion Devereaux. finely written part and one that will afford her ample opportunity to display her talents. MT. Ince will play John Glenarm, the grandson. a role well fitted to this popular favorite. The part of Bates, played in the original production by MT. Holland will be played by Brig ham Royce, a sterling actor of years of ripe experience. MT. Royce will be remembered as the Gen. Crook of Northern Lights. All the other mem bers of the stock company have con- genial roles.

Dnke of Connaught
 Has Royal Blood

London, July 24.-Arthur. Duke of Connaught, brother of King Edward, has resigned as commander-in-chief of the British Mediterranean Squadron. The officials of the Admiralty refuse to explain this une4>ected action of the Kings brother but tt is confidentially known in all quarters that the resig- nation is due to the Dukes opinion that his royal blood entities him to a far more important naval post or civil appointment
 The incident has proven to be a most unpleasant one in official circles in England inasmuch as the Dukes ac. tion antagonizes the government and the court circles.

 In addition to the arguments relat- ing to Roosevelts personal popular1ty in his home city, the political theorists among his well-wishers have anvanceo as .. reason for his invincibility the att titude of the Catholics toward him.

applause, the younk folk of the City

yesterday in Electric Park. More thar

the scene an animated one. The various

A pretty program of dances and drills
was given by these children.
All of the girls of the Prince Street

dance was excellently executed by
them. Miss Darlington, their instructor,
spent many days in drilling the chill

ABOUT SOAP BUBBLES.

If your father or someone happens
to be smoking a pipe. get him to blow
some bubbles for you. He just fills MS
mouth with smoke, and then blows an
ordinary bubble with the clay pipe. The
bubble will generally row very large,
and will, of course, be filled with smoke.
Done in the sunshine, some of these
present a very beautiful appearance.
If you want to make a very large
bubble, first cover your hands well with
soap suds. and then place them to-
gether in the shape of a cup, leaving a
small opening at the bottom. Then hold
your hands about a foot from your
mouth and blow into them. The bub-
bles obtained in his way are so large

a bird-like lifting of the head she gave

the look. Oh, for the power to have
refused that shameful bargain-to have
scorned it! She turned away. She
