DELLA CLARK AND TROUPE
 SCORE IN "lNTRODUCE ME-
Audience at Park Theatre We'll Pleas ed With Comedy Which Will Have it's Final Performance Here,
 Tonight.

Della Clark and her carefully bal anced company came to the Park Theatre. last evening, in her own play, Introduce Me-, a comedy that is very amusing and effective. The story hinges on the antics of mar ried man with a love for afinities who suspects that his wife. like him. self. is doing little side stepping from the marital vows. The play is in three acts and each is better than the one preceding. The final act of the performance is perhaps best of all
 From first to last there is an abund- ance of merry quibs and ludicrous sit nations and the excellent cast make the most of their chances. Miss Clark, the author, is especially good in her dual roles of the wife and Frances EvertOn, the novelist. Henry Pemberton does the hubby role in great shape. Were 1t not for his weakness for the affinity he would al- most be a regular husband. Other characters that are we'll portrayed are taken thusly:
 Charles Weatherspoon is imperson- ated by Gordon De Maine, a character of a successful publisher; Clara Krall characterizes the part of a leading act ress of the stage, Edna Summers; Jessie Morris Sullivan portrays Han nar while c. H. Rigers plays the per sonnel of William, servant, together with May Everett as Clara. It is to laugh and those who de- sire to pass a pleasant evening should not miss the closing performance of the play tonight.

A fireman was up for examination for promotion to the position of engi. neer. He passed q fair test on the rules and machinery, but during all of 1t the examiner was constantly lee. turing him as t? the need of economy in the use of fuel and oil, so that by the time he finished his examination 1t was pretty we'll on his nerves.

Employment
 Department
 For Y. M. c. 4.
C. H. Wilson of Bridgeport Brass Co.,, to be in Charge
 of Bureau

The great object of the Y. M. c. A. is to help men to help themselves. The local association, realizing that no man needs help more than the one out of work, sometime ago or gan1zed an employment department, the work being shouldered by the different secretaries
 Despite this handicap of having no one 10 look after and devote his full time to 1t, the work met with instant approval from all and has gradually grown until 1t has been thought wise to establish permanent department and put a man on full time in charge of it.
 George H. Wilson, who is deeply lnterestel 1T association work. has bcen chosen to nead this departralent M. Wilson has been in Bridgeport about two years and leaves the Bridgeport Brass Go. to enter the as- Soc1at1On work. He has carefully studied the methods of this line of Work In the associations of many of the larger cities and is very enthusi- astlc over the possibilities of a Y. M. city. '---
 The department aims to aid men III the following ways-it assists the spec ialist in any line to find a position suited to his ability; it helps the OeSAAS cAh0 ISlldUlS I1du WHO lS out of work to get new start and It IS Of invaluable service to the in- experienced man or boy who is striv- ing to get a foothold in business.
 Certain qualifications are desired in every applicant, character, efficiency and honesty. References are care fully investigated. It is safe to say that every successful employer of la Dor IS constantly on the lookout for men of skill, Judgment and integrity. It is the purpose of the Y. M. c. A. employment department to learn the needs of the business men of Bridge port and endeavor to weed out the apparently incompetent undesirables from the army of applicants. It pro- poses to supply clerks, salesmen, managers, stenographers, draftsmen, bookkeepers. office boys, janitors, watchmen and others for whom there may be special requirements. For this service a small fee is charged the applicant It. is hoped that un- der careful management this depart ment will become self supporting but the question of efficient service to men will be regarded as the first consideration.
