April 21- The first half of the program af- lords the welcome opportunity of hear ing Mrs. Susan Hawley Davis in some of her most beautiful songs. and of enjoying Blanche Goode (Mrs. Dorland
 Smith) who has won distinction as a concert pianiste- Mrs. Davis will sing an aria from Joan of Are, in which the power and range of her beautiful voice and the finished art of her tone production will be admirably displayed.
 Blanche Goode CHIrs. Dorland Smith) since her recent coming to Bridgeport has aroused the greatest enthusiasm wonderful piano playing. At the age of seventeen, Miss Goode graduated from the Conservatory of Music at Warren. Ohio. She then went to Ser lin and was accepted as a pupil by Frank LaForge. After a year of study with this master, Miss Goode she was favorite pupil of Leschetiz-- sky, who predicted for her a most brilliant future as concert pianiste and composer.
 Miss Goode has a charming stage presence and is magnificently endowed with health and strength. She has all the qualities which go to make up a true artist, wonderful power united with the most charming delicacy and refinement; a perfect technique com b1ned with the spirit to interpret with touch upon the keys is sympathetic and caressing. and evokes the rich singing tones so highly valued in Eur ope. Besides interpreting the works of the great masters of very diverse schools, Miss Goodee also plays her own compositions which are very worthy of a place on any program

There are five roles, four for men and one for a, young lady. M.

Caboussat because the various maIadies of the 1atter's horses and cattle are his chief means of support. M. Poitrinas is a pro- foundly learned archeologist; presi- dent of the Academy of Etampes. He discovers what he thinks is a Roman where Jean,- the servant, is in the habit of hiding broken crockery. M. Poitrinas has a son and M. Caboussat has a daughter, so a pretty little love story binds the parts together. Those who desire to read the play in ad- shop of Jackson and of Hayes & RettS'

Work is so pressing at the plant of the Eastern Underwear Company, it is behind in it's orders. For sometime difficulty has been experienced in get ting enough muslin to be used in the manufacture of such garments as are made at the factory. The price was on the yard, and the opinion is expres- sed that goods have been held back for the purpose of keeping up prices The company has advertised for 50
 more girls and wouldl be glad to get them At one time some thirteen came out from Bridgeport, but now only three who work in the factory live in the city. A dozen or so come from Southport and a few from the center of the town and Greenfield Hill. The trouble appears to be the lack of good boarding places near the factory.
