POL,I'S.

Monday next will mark the inaugur- al of the summer stock season at Polls Theatre and Manager Poli is determined to present to the theatre going public of Bridgeport and vicin- ity this season what he believes to be the best stock company in America and the statement is made without any reservations whatever.
 Heading the all star aggregation will be that great favorite John E. Ince the most popular actor who has ever played in this city and the most capable male leading man in the coun- try. MT. Ince's brilliant record of past seasons here is too we'll known to require extended comment. After his vaudeville tour MT. Ince played a long engagement as leading man with Mildred Holland in a series of plays at the Garden theatre, New York and received flatering notices from all the leading New York crit ics especially for his splendid work in "The Lily and the Prince'' Mir. Ince has hosts of friends here, is extremely popular and in turn is infatuated with Bridgeport so much so that he in- tends to build a permanent home here. Monday will introduce a new leading woman in the person of the beautiful Jane Tyrrell called ''the stock beauty" for she is the handsomest woman playing in stock in this country. She does not depend entirely on her beauty as she has talent of a high order and her talent has been given full play for the past season during her en- gagement as leading woman with Kyrle Bellew in Rallies. Miss Tyr Tell has the most costly wardrobe of any woman playing stock and her gowns will be a sartorial treat for the feminine contingent. The best Juvenile man that could be tempted to play here by a liberal salary is Johnny Junior a clean cut handsome chap and a great portrayer of juvenile roles. Mir. Junior has just finished an engagement in New York on Broadway with May Irwin in "Get- ting a Polish" and he has created juvenile roles with every production of prominence in New York for sev- eral years past. The ingenue of the company is an old favorite here Is- adore Martin who has just completed the most successful season of her ca reer at the Crescent Theatre Brook lyn, and the coMedian will be another favorite Charles Schofield an eminent ly capable actor and a mighty fine chap personally. The character wom- an will be Georgia Harvey who comes direct from long run with Alma" at Joe Webers theatre to which pro- duction she will return after her sum- will be Joseph Eggenton who made a great record here last season.

the cost Of production abroad, the cost
OF production here, and enough to give
fair profit to the domestic producer

'"This limitation necessarily took
away any grounds for tariff between

Of production and of manufacture in

"In other words, the plank in the
platform of the last Republican CON

has been criticised for not making
greater reductions, we could not secure
