BELLEW IN "SUiLDER
BRIDGES"
OF

Kyrle Bellew, who comes to the
Grand, Davenport, Saturday of next
week in 'The Builder of Bridges a
new four act play, by Alfred Sutro,
the distinguished English dramatist,
will on that occasion make his initial
appearance here as a Charles Froh-
man star. Though Mr. Be1lew has foi
many years past enjoyed well deserv-
ed, worldwide recognition in stellar
roles under various managerial auspi-
ces in England, America and Aus
tTalia, yet it has so happened that he
has never appeared as Charles Froh-
man star heretofore, although he has
many times played leading roles in the
more important of Charles Frohman'c
successful productions. in Builder
of Bridges" Mr. Bellew has secured a
most interesting and highly dramatic
play, and at the same time one that
affords not only unusual scope for, but
is also peculiarly well fitted to his
fascinating personality, and eminently
artistic talent as one Of the most ac-
complished actors of the English
speaking stage. The entire New York
company and production, just as given
during the long engagement at the
Hudson theatre will be seen with Bel
lew here.

Charles z. Evans, our old friend OF
"Parlor Match" fame, is at the head
of the company. Dainty Alice Yorke.

SOCIAL DEMANDS ON THE MAYOR

Not the least of the handicaps un- der which the Mayor of an American city labors is that of being obliged to accept all manner of social invitations. This ought not to be so. but it is. The custom is of so many generations that it has the effect of law The Mayor who refused to comply with the demands thus made upon his time and energy. and in some cases upon his health, would find his tenure In office as brief as his unpepularity would be long. The Governors oI States and the President of the United States labor under the same burden. The custom has never laid heavier hand upon any Mayor of Bridgeport than it has upon the present incum- bent. whose dramatic accession to the office seem to have caught the popu- lar fancy and doubled the demand for his presence upon social occasions at home and abroad. s~s=
