"THE BLUE MOUSE. :"

 Harrison.
Lillie Hall Also Scores a Decided Hit in a Rich Character Part - Albert Gran, Sam Reed and Ralph Morgan Very Clever An Attraction of Exception. al M.rit.

Clyde Fitch's very clever and de- cidedly funny farce, ''The Blue Mouse, was seen at Smiths theatre last even- ing, for the second time this season, by an audience which was of goodly proportions, and emphatically demon strative in it's expressions of approval. The piece was splendidly acted, and left absolutely nothing to be desired. This ''second' company, which has been formed to present the play in the big cities, prior to going into Chicago for the big run there, is every bit as clever as was the organization seen in the farce on it's first visit, and which is now engaged in the metropolitan run of ''The Blue Mouse" at the Lyric theatre, New York.
 With it's familiar basis of mistaken identity, the farce moves with the speed of a runaway horse, piling sit uation upon situation, and confusion upon confusion until all seems chaos. There isn't a restful moment, nor is there much relief from laughter. How much of the original MT. Fitch retain ed when he translated the farce is hardly evident, but it is probable that he effected a general cleaning up; still when one stops to think, he shudders when he tries to imagine what it must

THE ST. CHARLES EVENT

parish has completed arrangements for the grand whist party, old fashioned forty-five game and the pinochle tour- nament which is to be given in St. Charles hall, Tuesday evening, Feb. 2, and the reports from the various com- mittees in charge forecast an unusual attendance of patrons for it's financial success. On all occasions the popu- larity of parish events conducted by the Mems League has been attested by the crowded capacity of the hall, and this present event, the committee is certain, will be no less successful. A feature of the event will be the large and varied list of whist prizes to the number of 50, and consisting of pie lures, cut glass, silverware, bric-a- brac. etc., to be awarded to the lucky winners. In the forty-five game and pinochle, 30 chickens will be distrib- uted.
 Patrons of these pleasant diversions will spend most enjoyable evening, Tuesday, Feb. 2. at St. Charles hall. In order to share in the drawing of the valuable door prizes, tickets must be purchased beforehand and the cou- pons handed in not later than Monday night. Excellent trolley service assur- ed. Dancing will follow the event.

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening Every Day
 but Soon Forgotten.

Close slaves would be of more fre- quent occurrence but for the tender races of many men, which will not per- mt of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these col umns about poslam, a new skin discov- cry, In connection with it's use after shaving. It's publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to it's remarkable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of it's minor uses, such as for pimples, the complexion, etc., shaVers will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness, and se- were scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties-heals and cures in few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex- plotted for. this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do.
 Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggists, particularly Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, who make a speciality of it. Or the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City, will send trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it. This is sufficient to show results in "A hours.

extremely we'll while Albert Grams rendition of the part of MT. Llewellyn, the railroad president whose infatua- tion for the Mouse gets him into all IT. amer of scrapes, was constantly de- lightful as an earnest portrayal of a highly farcical role. Sam Redd, as the suspicious father@in-law from Co., hoes himself an admirer of the mis- chief-making actress, was almost per- feet, while Ralph Morgan, as Philip Scarsdale, the fiance of the Mouse, played what is perhaps the most diff cult male part in the piece in a re- markedly fine manner. dis one big scene in the last act, with Mrs. Rollitt, was a piece of art in itself.
 The smaller parts were all we'll taken, while the settings and gowns were almost an exact replica of those used in the Lyric theatre production. The farce will be seen again this even ing. and the theatre should be filled to it's utmost capacity. This is really one of the most artistic offerings in it's line which is on the road, and Bridgeport is to be congratulated upon the opportunity oe a second view of the production. Its success in New York is not to be wondered at, and the cast which is seen here upon this oc- casiOn is fully as competent as that engaged in the New York production.

"Wor1s cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony endured seemed more than could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp. from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen was afraid they would break of. Every hair in my head fell out. l could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding My family doctor did all he could, but got worse and worse. My condition was awful. did not think could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings.
 In this condition my mother-in-law begged mo to try the Cuticura Rem of recovery. But oh, what blessed re- lief I experienced after applying Cuti- cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep had had in weeks. It was as grateful as foe to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply cura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured, I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. My condition was so terrible that what cured ms cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful disease. If any one doubts the truth of this letter, tell them to write to me. Mrs. Wm.

ELSA RYAN-"THB BLUE MOUSSE have been in the German. AS it is now, however, it is without real coarse ness or indelicacy, although it is wee bit daring.
 Throughout, the action and lines of tho company are on such treacherous ground that even the most gifted act ress, with a careless or incompetent support, might make the piece objec- tionable. But here the Shuberts, the producers, have taken charge, and they have provided a company which is in every respect equal to the require ments of tn situation, and capable of giving a rendition of the play which
 is utterly devoid of all detracting fea- lures. Only for laughs sake is the motive of the production, frorn begin ming rc end. The comedy is delight full, the fun excruciating, ana merri- 1nent reigns supreme.
 The story of the play is familiar; it is ef the cast presented on thts occa- sion that the public wishes most to be informed. As to the excellence of the company. from the leading lady to the smallest waking part, every detail every care las been attended to, with the idea of securing a company which shall rank most favorably with the original one. Miss Elsa Fyan, in this case, most admirably sucreeds in replacing Mabel Harrison: she makes her part racv enough in serulean sheath gown to account for everything that happens. She is happy thought She plays the character of the ire sponsible actress with such ara air of childlike innocence of wrong intent that her Inisdemeanors become really insignificant. She is a clever little actress, and last evening carried her audience with her closely at all times.
 Lillie Hall. who plays the part of Mrs. Llewellyn, gave charac' CT por- traynl which it seems could scarcely be bettered or improved upor. She is far superior to the lady who was seen in the part at the former appear ance Of the farce, and her work gave much better satisfaction. There were quite a number of her friends in the audience, and at the close of the per fcrmaEce several of them weElt back upon the stage to congratulate her up on her success.

AUTOMOBILE NIGHT
 AT THE STRATFIELD
Two Hundred Devotees of the Gasolene Wagon As
 semble for Social Evening

Members of the Automobile Club of Bridgeport and their friends to the number of 200 crowded the new grill room of The Stratfield, last evening, and enjoyed the best smoker ever given by the club. A big banner reading Headquarters of the Automobile Club of Bridgeport" hung in the hotel lob by. There were present, besides Bridgeport automobiles of promin- ence, club members from Fairfield, Westport, Stratford, Derby and Dan- bury.
 The entert ainment provided by Chairman Ralph M. Sperry of the com- mittee was full of ginger and interest and included moving pictures, vaude- vile and buffet lunch. President F. T. Staples greeted the members as they appeared.
 The George B. Beatty company of Jersey City, N. J., in an entirely satis- factory manner displayed moving pie lures of the Savannah and Briarcliff traces, and also one of the Grand Prix races in France. The latter was
 especially thrilling, and so real that when car overturned sliding around a curve half of the audience jumped to it's feet The woes of a prospective automobile purchaser raised a general laugh. The story pictured the victim being assailed by a dozen agents who dragged him to their various cars to give him demonstra tions. Each one gets a whack at him and all sorts of accidents happen. As the various agents appeared they were hailed with such remarks from the audience as: There's Mills of the Mitchell" or Look at Gates tailing the Reo," or
 Look out for Lyford in the Olds."
 Through the courtesy and co-opera- tion of Manager IS. J. Breen of Polls theatre, he formerly having been as- sistant secretary of the club, two ex- cellent vaudeville acts were put on. Van Camp, the man with the pig, gave a clever performance, not only with a live pig but with the cards, birds, handkerchiefs etc. His act took 1m- rIenseIy and although he was shorn of the usual stage settings and performed practically among his audience he mys- tified them completely. He had such perfect command of the cards that a few poker players present took to the woods He received rOuSing applause.
 Frank Whitman, known as the danc- ing violinist, gave part of his act and also aroused much appreciation and applause. He gave several init atlons and showed a remarkable command of the violin in various difficult attitudes. During the interTniSsionS Bentley fur nished spirited music.
 Then Max Rinck and corps of wait CTS LOOK tnlngS III cIldfSe dHu seIVeu an appetizing lunch of sandwiches, salad, coffee and cigars.
 In view of the courtesy shown by the Poli management and by Messrs. Van Camp and Whitman the Automobile club has ordered a block of seats re- served for next Saturday evening, which will be known as Automobile night at the theatre. Members of the club will occupy a section in the center of the house and can obtain their seats of the secretary.

PAGAN IN BAD WAY
Taken from the Jail to St. Vincent's Hospital Suf- fering from Pneumonia.

John P. Eagan, who has been in the city court frequently for creating disturbance at the residence of his wife and who is now serving a sen- tence of 60 days at the county jail will be taken to St. Vincent's hospital this afternoon. Pagan developed pneumonia at the jail two days ago. His family was notified. The wife and one of his sons were at police headquarters this morning. Supt. Brennan, of the char ities department gave instructions to have Eagan removed to the hospital at the expense of his department. The son said, in conference with Prosecut- ing Attorney Delaney, that the fam fly would bury Eagan if he died.
