Judging by the merriment last night this act is as great a favorite as ever.
 Marguerite Starr, pretty singing comedienne, stunned the audience last night with the various dazzling 'crea- tions'' in which she was attired. She has a number of new and catchy songs. all of which were encored. Miss Starr, although not & Bridgeport girl, came to Bridgeport when confronted with the problem of having beautiful gowns made for her. They are the work of the Women's Smart shop of this city.
 The Six Musical Spillers afford a bright twenty minutes of musical vaudeville. The Spillers play vari- ety of instruments, always with lots of rhythm and ginger" Their com binations are good, the music catchy and pleasing and some good comedy interspersed.

 w. s. Dickinson in his character of ''The Ex-Justice of the Peace, show> ed what a really artistic rendering of the much abused ''rube" character can do. MT. Dickinson was ..im- mense'' and the audience was tickled to the last degree at his really hum- orous portraiture of the venerable "ex-justice'' and the bright monologue which he related.
 Tom Kyle & Co. have a pleasing novelty sketch in "A Doctored Widow The scene is aboard the ocean liner Neptune" Some excel lent comedy is developed during the sketch and the plot is just heavy enough to retain interest and develop bright lines.

Dynamite In New Haven Recalled By
 McNamara Case

New Haven, Dec. 5-The unexpected turn in the case of the McNamaras causing so much surprise among labor men in this city, and all over the country in fact, provides a vivid re- hinder of the morning just about who now has the job of personal tax collector down in Orange, found 8 stick of dynamite in the upright boiler used in erecting the Kimberly avenue bridge The boiler was on the New Haven side of the west branch of French was there to fix up the fire for the commencement of work at 7:3O o'clock or whatever hour the strike breaking iron workers on that job went to work at that time.
 MT. French was doing police duty on the New Haven side of the river; protecting the property of the Ameri- can Bridge Company during the strike of the structural iron workers against that company, and it was part of his job to poke up the fire in that up right boiler every morning to have 1t in shape for the regular engineer when he came on duty later.
 This particular morning MT. French, quite by accident, saw an object lying in the banked embers and drew it out of the fire box.
 It looked like a stick Of dynamite, and investigation proved that 1t was lust that and nothing less, and accord ing to the story told at the time it was placed in the boiler during the night though whoever did the job must have slipped by the special police. including MT. French, to place the dynamite where it was found. According to the theory advanced by some persons at the time this dynamite would have been exploded by heat. That is to say when the engineer came on the job and his fire was going in good shape something would have gone up in the air and perhaps some of the property of the American Bridge Company would have been destroyed. This boil CT was situated on the New Haven side of the river and very close to the concrete pier built to support the steel girders then being put in place by the bridge company against whom the structural iron workers had called a strike throughout this State. The strike was caused by the refusal of the company to grant the men an increase in wages, or shorter workday with out a cut in wages.
 When the story got out that dyna- mite had been found in the boiler it caused a great sensation in this city. Naturally there was an investigation of the dynamite found in the boiler but nothing ever came of it.

Miss Billie Burke is at her very best in ''The Runaway" the comedy she will present at The Park on Saturday. The New York critics agreed on that point. One of them says: Miss Burke never has appeared so cunning, so wistful, so altogether fascinating as she does in the role of little Colette, the country girl who runs away and smuggles herself into an artists stu dio and heart. In the play Colette is but eighteen and the Colette of Billie Burke looks that age. She is elfish, she Is kittenish-she is Billie Burke grown younger and still more win some.

THE PARK
DOCTOR DE LUXE"

Mr. Ralph Herx, the star of Doctor De Luxe," which comes to the Park Theatre Thursday proves to be an un- usual and unexpected quantity. ln- trospective, observant and fond of drawing deductions. his mental keen ness Is externally suggested in the sa- lient lines of his face and in the alert carriage of his figure. Clear cut. .wou perhaps be the most suggestive epithet to apply to MT. Her1 He has decided ideas on the musical come dies of the day and has this to say of them:
 .Musical comedy as an institution undoubtedly will never become extinct but 1t is always changing its pattern as well as Its details. Depending so alter as rapidly as the conditions all ter. Something new. something novel, to suit the altered superficial complex ion of affairs-that is the only princi- pie to guide the librettist and his com panions. Musical plays popular fifteen years ago are dead as a herring now. On the other hand, a comedy may be produced ahead of its time. For ex- ample, the Three Twins," which look ed likes a failure at first, had to wait for its popularity to catch up with it. "In musical comedy you can't be ' human. Unless you exaggerate to the last degree. you are showed under by the rest of the performance. The abil- ity to assume extreme 'eccentricity has made the reputations of Eddie Foy, Sam Bernard and the rest of our mu- sical comedians. If tried to wear my hat on the stage as I wear it on the street, or if tried to smoke a cigar as other men smoke cigars; it would ibe dull and commonplace and nobody would laugh. To make people laugh is the aim of any man in musical com ledy.
 "One thing I never hope to arouse lin an audience and that is apathy. In musical comedy, better antagonize your patrons than bore them.
 If they dislike you. they are never sure whether 1t Is you or the role you are acting; but if they get tired of you, they always lay 1t to you personally. In the first case. they will forgive or forget; in the second they will never forgive nor forget. The verdict of the audience is of the first consequence to anybody earning living and the best gauge of their approval is in their laughter. An actor knows as quickly as his neighbor what the audience think of him.
 "Of course there is a difference be- tween what we want and what we get, in the phrase of the estimab.e Doc when I can get what I want, I shall go on doing the best I know how in musical comedy. That will give me time to realize my hopes and ambi- tions later
 From the nature of things, you can't originate any real characters in musical comedy, and that is why I should prefer to return to the unem- be.lished comedy. feel that. musical comedy. though, is the place for me for two reasons; I seem to be more adapted to 1t and 1t interests me more''

The Newark journal., 1911-09-08

The Journal suggests that the people of Newark and those along the public road running north by the Scott school house set a date some time in the near future to meet and put in a couple of days work on this road. There is a great deal of travel over this road and some places in 1t get very bad during the winter. Two CT three days work would put t in good condition, and the time and money spent in the work would pay big dividends. The same is true of the road leading to Cord; and both these roads could be put in good condition by a little united effort upon the part of those who use them.
