SMITHS

New pictures will be shown this ev- ening and tomorrow in the big sIrmm CT vaudeville bill, and the theatre should be filled to the doors at each and such high quality that everyone will be surprised and delighted, and they will vie. in interest with the fine bill of vaudeville which is being offered this week. This summer arrangement of vaudeville and pictures, at the ex- treme1y small prices which are charg- led, should meet with the approval Of every pleasure seeker in the city, and the theatre ought to be too small to hold the crowds which should flock to witness it. The people 6f Bridgeport should recognize by more liberal at tendance the efforts to provide them with light and innocent amusement, at cost which is within the Eeach of every purse. There are large audi ences every evening. but they should be still larger, until standing room it. self is at premium.
 The vaudeville bill this week, as dur ing the previous weeks, receives the earnest commendation of everyone who criticism, but all of praise. And the bill deserves it. There are five splen- did acts, and they are all of the very highest class: Besides t@asre gre three tss Fsss wola 3f the eongttutes ansss ana for over two hours. Yet the admis- sion price for all this is so ridicu1ously small that 1t seems almost farcical.
 Grace Lavelle, Major Doyle, Mary Stuart Cone, the Robinson trio, and Savan & Warren, all contribute their share to the pleasure of the perform ances They are all artists of high calibre, and all draw good fat salaries. There is not an act on the bill which is not calculated to afford extreme de- light, and guaranteed to give full value in return for the money expended.
