"LION AND MOUSE"
 AT POLES DRAWS
 VERY LARGE HOUSE

In that famous play, "The Lion and the Mousse Miss Alice Fleming, last night, at Polls, gave an interpreta- ton of the part of Shirley Rossmore which certainly equals any work ever petent actresses who have attempted it. The play is by Charles Klein, and has enjoyed popularity in the large cities. It was exceedingly we'll staged, and attracted an audience of standing-room only proportions. The story is of the contest of a young woman to save her fathers honor against the intriguing of nj mIltfmillionaire. It is filled with side lights that illuminate modern on the debauchery of the judiciary by the forces of plutocracy.
 Judge Rossmore, Shirley's father, has given a decision against the in- terests represented by John Burkett Ryder, the plutocrat of the play, and victim of a plot under which the pub lie is caused to believe that he has received stock in Ryder enterprises to influence his judicial action. Ryder is portrayed by MT. John Ince, the company's leading man, and effec- lively.
 It is to free her father from the stigma of this charge that the heroine of the play, takes up the onerous duty which the playwright causes her to so we'll discharge.
 The chief heart interest is in the love affair between the daughter of the judge and the son of the million aire, and this romance is very clever ly worked out. It ends happily in the vindication of Judge Rossmore and the triumph of the mouse"
 Many characters are concerned in a more or less important way with the action. The part of Jefferson Ryder is we'll done by J. Hammond Daley, who managed to increase the excellent impression that he has al- ready made upon Bridgeport people. Judge Rossmore was played by Ar thur Buchanan with sympathy and understanding. Thomas. Williams gave luxuriant tidbit in Rev. Ponti- fex Deetle. T. F. Griffin as Senator Roberts Joseph Eggerton as Judge Scott, Miss Victoria Montgomery as Mrs Rossmore, Miss Terese Degale as Mrs. John Burkett Ryder, Miss Caroline Locke as Kate Roberts and Miss Margaret Lawrence as Miss Nes- bitt contributed pleasantly to make the performance the thoroughly en- 5oyable affair that it was. The Lion and the Mouse will be given at Polls, afternoon and evening, throughout the week.

WAY AHEAD OF AUTOMOBILE
Progress Of Aviation ls One Of Won
ders Of Modern Human
Daring.

The develop ont of the aeroplane
into mechanism of practical utility
in the arts of peace and war is even
more rapid than was that of the auto
mobile in its early days.
It seems only yesterday that the
Herald was chronicling the first strug-
Cling flights of a few yards made by
NJ. Santos Dumont and today we re-
cord the journey of nearly FIVE hun
dred miles made by NJ. Alfred lie
Blanc within a period of less than IL
hours.
1t is only a few weeks ago that the
first flight across the British channel
electrified the world. This was quick
ly followed by a flight across and re-
turn, and now we have an American
aviator making the cross channel trip.
carrying as a passenger his burly
mechanician.
While the accident to Molssant's
machine mars the startling record he
promised to make between Paris and
London. his achievement is none the
less wonderful in its promise of the
possibilities of aviation in the immedi-
ate future.
Development of the automobile from
toy into its present development was
stimulated by bringing the inventors
of the world into international COM
petition by the offers of prizes and
honors. In like manner the aeroplane
has been improved. and is being per-
fected through the international emu
lation of inventors and aviators. The
marvel of yesterday in flying has be-
come the commonplace of today. and
nearly every issue of the Herald
chronicles some record-breaking feat
of aviation.
The defiance OF Mr.. Moissant OF the
strong winds blowing on the English
channel and the fact that the contest
ants in this long flight were ignorant
OF the route and steered their way by
compass, brings aviation more nearly
into line than ever before with actual
navigation. Every day exhibits more
advance in the science and the art of
sailing the air, and he would be a
bold man who would dare to fix a
limit to its possibilities in the immedi.
ate future.-New York Herald.
