 This afternoon hundreds of school children from all parts of the city vls-

 Richard McAuliffe and Dr. J. J. Mye1s.

 In the reproduction of the second
 act. of '"The Chorus Lady tonight,
 Miss Lillian A. Kelly will arpear as
 Patricia O'Brien", the role that Rose Stan! essayed for years both here and abroad with memorable success. She will be assisted by a dozen young Wo-
 men who will fill the parts of the chorus girls of Patricia's company. The scene is in the dressing room oc- cupied by the actresses, just before they are to be called on the stage and
 the insiahts into stage life resulting are highly interesting.
 Accompanying Miss Kelly will be
 Miss Irene O'Rourke. Miss Mary O Rourke, Miss Bessie Hartigan. Miss Katherine McGuinness. Miss Esther Burns, Miss Lucy Seery Miss Fannie Lyons Miss Mollie Daley. Miss Lil- Han Hartigan, Miss Gertrude F1tzpat- rick. Miss Jane Mccarthy and MT. | George Mccormack and MT. George Finkelstone, the last the musical di- rector.
 Interspersed with the more dramatic I moments of the act will be musical numbers from the latest operatic suc- cesscs. Miss Catherine McGuinness will sing ''Take a Tip from Venus, from the Follies of 1909. Miss Kelly will render My Sister Tetrazzine" from ''The Midnight Sons" Other selections will be from eThe Man Who Owns Broadway aald ''The Beauty Spot.''
 Miss Kelly made selection of this feature because practically the same | cast presented it year ago at Miss I Slocum's gymnasium and achieved be- fore a select audience an unexpected
 measure of success. It is believed that with the careful preparation aid elaborate stage effects that accompany the offering, it will be one of the hits of the Cosmovilla.
 The opening of the carnival and Cos movilla by Mayor Buckingham was
 under especially suspicious circum- stances. The throng in the armory was estimated at over 5000 people, and
 the large portion of the floor space taken up by the elaborate structures
 erected as part of the Cosmovilla scheme, left little room to accommo- date more than the unexpectedly large attendance Balcony and main floor were filled to overf1owing as Mayor
 Buckingham excused himself to Mrs.
 Buckingham to be escorted to the stage by City Attorney Thomas M Cullinan.
 Il Introduced by the City Attorney,
 Mayor Buckingham made a brief but
 rointed address. He said Bridgeport was blessed with many charitable or ganizations. It was to be especially congratulated. however. on possessing
 one so splendid as the Ladies of Char
 ity. Their work, he said. is of such
 a nature that it is not known to the public. Enough of it finds it's way
 to light, however. he pointed out, to
 convince all of the obligation to take
 part in such affairs as this. and to
 lend all the financial assistance pos
 sible. He then declared the affair un-
 der way and retired to leave the de-
 tails in charge of the various commit
 tees.
