MEN FREEZING TO DEATH IN
 HUNTING GOLD
Special from United Press)

Montreal, Nov. 16-The ''lust for gold" is today claiming many victims In the new gold camps in the Porcu- pine district in northwestern Ontario and along the desolate trails leading into 1t. Men are slowly starving and freezing to death there, and the Do minion authorities are powerless to render aid. One man. w. R. Mclean the American mining expert, who reached here today from the north, brought word of the death of at least score of prospectors on the trails south of Porcupine.
 The trouble is due to a succession of cold rains that have swept the region for the last month. Great. deep lakes have formed south of Frederick House Lake. Hundreds of feet of the trails have been rendered impossible and what a month ago was solid territory. is today dangerous swamp land.
 Mclean says that he himself saw two miners enguifed in the swamp and they sank to a miserable death while their companions stood by, unable to get any help to them.
 Other parties are staggering into the Porcupine camps with similar tales of loss of life on the trails. Well-out- fitted parties have been compelled to abandon a large portion of their sup plies. They are packing their provis ions on their backs and struggling through the water and mud that at times reaches to their waists and try ing to reach the new Eldorado.
 According to Mclean, when the first news of the rich strikes at Porcupine reached the Cobalt region, a genuine fever" broke out. The country is rich in gold and nothing else. There is absolutely no game there and the desolated wastes present long stretches of territory which are almost impos- sible of travel.
 Food values are fabulous, according to Mclean, exceeding even the record of the first rush to Klondike. He would not express any opinion of the richness of the new camp, which con- mon rumor here has placed at fabul- ouS amounts.

tresses, who are often so prone to crlticise managers. are always em- phatic in their praise Of MT. Harris and all along Broadway, fin the Play CTS Club. the Lambs Club. Green room club, The F'riars and in fact ev- anywhere you find members of the profession, you will hear co1nmenda- ton of MT. Harris. Throughout the country the familiar notices Hen- ry B. Harris presents have become recognized by the people as an assur- ance Of the best in plays and actors there is in the country.
 MT. Harris has a most efficient staff. Mir. James Forbes his general manager is famous for his trio of hits The Chorus Lady, "The Travelling salesman" and this year "The Com muters" which is crowding the Cri- CTS in Chicago. MT. Ben Stern, who has charge of the bookings and rail- readings for the great Harris enter prises, is known respected and liked in every city and town which has a theatre and 1t has become an axiom that Ben Stern's word is as good as government bond. MT. Lee Kugel, who is the general press representa- tive for MT. Harris is known as one Of the authorities on theatrical matters in this country and his bright publi- cation 'The Advance Agent" is on } Of the best issued in this country and contains a world of information re- garding the stage, it's people and his tory.
 MT. Harris representatives in Bridgeport, MT. J. J. Fitzpatrick, his resident manager and MT. Don Rich ardson the treasurer, are both fa vorites with the local theatregoers sideration for the patrons of the Jackson Theatre have won the esteem and respect of the people of our city.
 It is interesting to know that it was due to the advice of MT. Harris, that Edgar Selwyn wrote the now famous comedy of The Country Boy which really had it's birth in this city. At one of the famous Lambs Gambols MT. Selwyn wrote sketch of theatri- cal life showing 9 scene in a typical theatrical boarding house. MT. liar rlS was present on the occasion when the playlet was produced and urged MT. Selwyn to elaborate it into a play. MT. selwyn did this and is now rec ogn1Zed as one of the great dramatiSts of the present day. The people all over the country have stamped their approval of The Country Boy and the third act alone, as presented by the company which will be seen at the Jackson Theatre on Thanksgiving Day for a matinee and night performance, has never received less than eleven curtain calls. The comapny which will be seen here is one which has been selected. by MT. Harris and re- hearsed by, the author, MT. Selwyn. and is considered by critics superior to the company now at the Liberty Theatre, New York.
 It was just like MT. Harris to see the people of Bridgeport had a play for Thanksgiving Day which was in keeping with the holiday spirit of the times and the best aid to a pleasant day will be to see his production of MT. Selwyn's great comedy of modern life,

HENRY B. HARRIS, MAGNATE OF THE THEATRE, AND HIS
 CAREER ASA LARGE PRODUCER

Bridgeport theatregoers will have special treat on Thanksgiving day when Henry B. Harris the distinguish ed New York manager and also. the manager of the Jackson Theatre in this city will present the great big phenomenal hit of the season, The Country Boy. The play was seen here during the week of Aug. Is and at tracted the favorable attention of the critics of the city and the commen- dation of the people of Bridgeport.
 Since the play was seen here it has been the greatest hit of the present season in New York and it's author MT. Edgar Selwyn has stepped into the front ranks of American drama lists. The people of the city are na- turally interested in the personality of Henry B. Harris, who today is the leading figure in the theatrical world. He is the owner of the Hudson and Hackett theatres in New York, the historic Walnut Street theatre i'll Philadelphia, the Grand Opera House in New Haven beside the Jackson theatre here.-
 MT. Harris is treasurer of the Ac- tors Fund of America, and at the recent election at the Lambs Club in New York. was, in 6 hotly contested election, elected treasurer of that well known theatrical club. This election was a special tribute to the high es- teern in which MT. Harris is held by members of the profession and his vote was an unusually large one and showed how highly his attainments were respected by his associates in the theatrical world.
 Personally MT. Harris is one of the most delightful gentlemen one could meet and is a man Of breeding and distinction. He has a delightful per sonaEty and is always considerate and courteous to all who come m contact with him. The Harris offices in the Hudson Theatre are fitted up in the best of taste and the person who impudent office boy but finds the door leading to the private office of the, great manager open and has no trou- ble to have an audience with him. The supposedly funny stories about the discourtesy shown members of the profession when they calI\to see man. agers could never be written about the Henry E. Harris office because the least important person, who calls there receives the same courteous treatment that is given the most prom inent.
 Mir Harris has a cultivated mind and is highly educated, he is an eX- cellent judge of plays and is thor oughly familiar with the history of the drama and literature. A really great man always stamps his person. ality on the members of his working staff and NIT. Harris has done this in a remarkable degree. Members of his staff take a personal interest in their work and are faithful and loyal to their employer: this is true both of his business staff and the members of his many organizations which are playing both in New York and on the road Whatever disagreements there have been in the theatrical world men of all shades of opinion have united both in praise and respect of Henry B. Harris. Actors and ac-

JACKSON'S
KATIE DID"

One of the current seasons most mo- table events is scheduled to take place at Jackson's Theatre next Friday ev enlnS, with Jos. NJ. Gaites' presenta ton of the comic musicality Katie 0''" hv W, c Duncan and Frank Smithson, with music by Karl Hoschna, co.Aposer of Three Twins. Bright Eyes. ''The Girl of My Dreams. and Madame Sherry Katie Did, marks the first joint work of Mir. Duncan and Mir. Smithson who is one of the fore most producers of the day, and it is one of the most beautiful offerings ever made upon any stage.
 Katie Did' is founded on the farce My Friend from India and with this latest offering MT. Gaites believes that he has scored his greatest triumph, not excepting his previous remarkable suc- cesses, Three Twins and Bright Eyes,
 MT. Gaites has given to katie Did" a cast of uneXcelled ability. Miss May Vokes plays the part of the slavey which she originated in the original My Friend from India company. Louis Simon is the comedian and he is one man who can make people laugh without resorting to grotesque make up.
 It is certain that the local Shriners, under whose auspices this attraction is brought to Bridgeport, could not have made a better or more pleasing selection, and one that is sure to meet with the fullest approval of all who attend. While the advance sale of seats has been. very heavy. the house is by no means entirely sold out, as Is the current rumor throughout the city, but there remain unsold many hundreds of choice and medium priced tickets. but in order to secure these it would be advisable to make an inn mediate application.
