THE PARK
THE SLIM PRINCESS"

SLIM f1fSITNSE0o
 Tonight at the Park Theatre for one performance only comes winsome El- sic Janis in her great success, '"The slim Princess. The play has had fine vogue and everywhere 1t has played to capacity houses. There is something wrong with the theatrical loving people of this city when stellar productions of this class do not bring out large audiences. "The Slim Prin- cess" is a delightful musical comedy, and with Miss Janis and Joseph Caw- thorn in the leading roles an enter tainment is provided par excellence.
 It was only recently that little tale concerning Elsie Janis came to light. While she was only a kiddie five or six years old, things were not so promising. She was playing in the vaudeville theatres with more or less success. On one occasion, when con- ditions were decidedly less. her moth CTS finances were far from ideal. They were rooming in cheap board ing house and a kind-hearted lady al- lowed them to remain until some money had been earned It was the turn of the tide in her finances, for when she did get work, it came stead 6ily and since then she has not known Fthe want of money. The kind hearted landlady was never forgotten. She is now Installed in a hotel all her own. The check which paid for the hotel was signed Elsie Janis and the reason for it all was the memory of by-gone days and kindnesses. Elsie Janis makes a fortune every year as one of the really brilliant stars in America, and no one, except Miss Janis herself, really knows how many people are be- ing benefited by her earnings.
 .'rHE sPENDTHRIFT''
 Mr. Lionel Adams, who plays the leading role in "The Spendthrift' i, Frederic Thompson's production of Porter Emerson Browne's immense play, which comes to the Park Thea tre Wednesday night, was well known as a competent actor even before he took his present part in which he has made such remarkable showing.
 Bridgeport theatre-goers will remem- Der MT. Adams as playing the leading roles in Hall Caine's "sThe Christian" and also Her Lord and Master"
 A curious coincidence is connected with his past appearances in this city. Tn each of the above mentioned pro- ductions the principal female role was taken by an actress we'll known in the best Bridgeport circles. Miss Blanca West. Miss West has since married William D. Bishop, Jr., of this city.
 Mr. Adams is playing in 1The Spendthrift" the part of the hard working husband whose wife's extrav- agances drive him to the brink of misfortune and ruin. The curious sit uation in which financial ruin is avert cd but domestic disaster is precipitat- ed forms the basis for the best play from the pen of Porter Emerson Browne, who, however, in spite of the complex and strained situation, ends the play in that happy but unconven- tional way peculiar to his produc- tions.

months charged with the murder Of
NJ. Guillotin, the husband of the woman

Last week Nine. Guillotin was ar

which became known to Houssard,
seems to have affected him deeply. and
this morning he sent a letter to the
investigating magistrate in which he
said:
Il should be grateful If you would

cause l was ashamed to tell the truth.
When Nine. Guillotin was arrested,
wanted to write to you, but still wait

at once proclaimed and that you would
set her at liberty. But as you are
keeping her in prison, and as she is
suffering. I have no longer the right
to remain silent.
Il acted in a moment of folly. From
childhood I have loved Nine. Guillotin.

LITTLE WEALTH IN TRIPOLI;
EUROPEANS NOW DOMINANT
All Races Represented in Picturesque Mediterranean
Capital

Tripoli possesses little natural wealth,
which accounts for its having escaped
the European influences so noticeable
in Cairo, Tunis. and Algiers- Archaeo-
logically. it has little to show with the
sole exception of a Roman triumphal
arch. solitary relic of a previous occu-
patton, alongside of a barrel organ and
a loud gramaphone wailing Arab dirges
in a wayside cafe.
The triumphal ach has now lost its
pristine glory. Delicate carvings adorn
the marble capitals and panels; but the
sand of centuries blown from the Sahara
has swallowed up the lower half, leaving
visible little more than the circular arch.
An enterprising tradesman has carefully
boarded up the apertures and first rate
dried fish provision shop is the result.
The capital is crescent in form, being
about two miles from tip to tip; and one
mile wide The inside of the crescent is
bounded by a magnificent bay and the
outside inclosed by hugh ramparts, ex-
cept to the southeast. whence lead the
principal routes to the Sahara.

THE RENO FIGHT
FILMS IN BERLIN
Police Opposition to Their
Exhibition Eliminated.

Berli- Oct 7.-Germany's intellectual
horizon was conspicuously widened this
evening when the first public exhibition
of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight Ipic-
lures took place at an Inter den Linden
cinematograph theater. The proprietors,
who paid $4,000 for the films, have been
waiting a year for license to display
them.
The German police, who have always
done more than their share in that di-
rectiou, have made another notable con-
tribution to the gayety of nations in con-
nection with the fight films. Hitherto
they have refused to sanction the pictures
on high ethical grounds. No amount
of argument could convince them that
the films could with safety be exhibited
in a community of such spotless moral
ideals as Gay Berlin"
Finally the cinematograph people dis
covered the German policeman's vulnera-
BILE spot The films were subjected 10
rigid scrutiny, and one fine day the own
ers came forth with the announcement
that in all the crowd OF 10000 spectators
at the Reno ringside only one solitary
policeman was discoveraDle. Could there
any longer be doubt of the fights i'm
peccable respectability.
The police admitted that this was an
unanswerable argument, the censors ban
was forthwith withdrawn, and the films
are now started on what promises to be
a prosperous career.

RELIEF FOR BRIDES
In WEDDING GLOVE
New Process by Which Ring
Can Be Slipped On.

London, Oct. IA happy era has
dawned for the bride at the fateful mo-
ment when the ring is about to be
placed on her finger. Instead of the
usual struggle to remove her left-hand
glove, she will now be able to uncover
the third finger without effort and with
out losing her composure.
This delightful result is to be obtained
by an ingenious wedding glove" device.
The inside seam on the third finger OF the
left glove is unstitched. so that all the
bride need do is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The finger
can Just as easily be slipped back into
the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appreciated
not only by the bride. but also by the
nervous bridegroom. The story of the
origin of the wedding glove has come to
light. Some time ago a girl who had lost
her right arm in the hunting field asked
for a single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness Of
having to remove her glove with lie
help of her teeth. and it was then seen
that matters would be greatly facilitated
for the bride II she only had to uncover
the ring finger. The experiment was so
successful that it aroused the interest
Of other prospective brides, who saw in
1t a boon which would save them from
the usual difficulties of removing a whole
glove at the moment when the ring is
about to be put on.

KAISER PORTRAYED
AOROMAH WARRIOR
German Emperor Shown as
a World COuquerOr.

Berlin, Oct. MANY are the parts in
which Emperor William has been por-
trayed. He has been painted and sculp-
tured in the trappings of King and EN-
peror. in the uniforms OF field marshal
and admiral in the acCouterments of a
Roman impsrator. and in the robes of
a doctor of Oxford University
Now an interesting addition is to be
made to this long series of portraits
Some years ago the Emperor surprised
the company at a ball, given by one
of his sons, by appearing unexpectedly
disguised as the great elector. who as
and a believer in navies and colonies, las
always been preferred by him to the
skepticaL childless, and purely eontinen-
tai Frederick.
photograph taken of the Emperor in
his costume was withheld from general
circulation and reserved for presenta-
tion to his most trusted friends as a spe-
cial mark of confidence. This picture is
now, however, being used by Prof. Wal
ter Schott as a groundwork for the
statue, which is permanently to orna-
ment one of the halls of the Berlin
Academy of Arts The Emperor stands
erect, with one foot on a globe. His left
hand holds a scepter, which rests on his
bent knee, while the right is supported
On the hip. A fUll-bottomed wig falls
over the tracery of the lace jabot, which
covers the top of the cuirass. This last
detail is understood to have been mod
eled from a Roman breastplate in a
London museum. On il is depicted Ath-
Pna approached by the two goddesses
Of victory.

ENGLAND is PREPARING u
FOR THE INDIAN DURBAR
Visit of King George to the Orient Sole Topic ef In
tereSt in London.

London, Oct. with the Canadian an
nexation bogy safely relegated to the
limbo of the forgotten, London's sole
topic Of interest is the coming Indian
durbar, when King George v and his
consort will make Triumphant entry into
the realm of Buddha and formally re-
ceive their crowns and orders as the
Emperor and Empress of India. Every
possible contingency has been met by
those in charge of the ceremonies, and.
though the pageants will not take place
until December, structures are now under
way TO receive the tens of thousands
who will flock to India to view this
second coronation"
An interesting feature of the Calcutta
ceremony will be the massing on either
side of the Red Road of 25.0C0 school
children from Calcutta and the suburbs.
The children will be accommodated in
front of the stone balustrades on stands
erected by the Bengal government. Each
child will be provided by the reception
committee with a small flag to be waved
as their majesties pass. These flags have
been designed by the Maharajah, Sir
Prodyot Kumar Tagore, and contain
the Star of India and other devices on a
light blue ground.

ARRIVAL OF KING
AWAITED AT DELHI
Interesting Rite to Be En-
acted at Kings Gate.

Delhi, Oct. 6.-The arrival of the King
marked by an incident OF dramatic in
terest. The specially constructed station
here his majesty will alight is almost
in the fort. The Kings horse and the
whole of the officials will wait in the
citadel. When his majesty is mounted
the Kings gate will be opened
A peculiar significance is attached TO
this gate. Only the King of Delhi was
permitted to pass through when he went
TO the JUmma Musjid to worship. A
cloth used to be laid from the inside of
the fort through this gate to the great
mosque. Not even the Kings sons were
allowed to pass through those portals
only a solitary figure in flowing white
robes. his head bowed in solemn respect
a. he issues from the portal with stock
where thousands stood waiting his pres
ence to commence prayer.
The royal proclamation which will be
read at the imperial durbar at Delhi is
directed to lie publicly read not only
at the headquarters of each local gov
eminent and administration and at each
district headquarters, but at the head
quarters Of every subdivision of TahsiI
and Taluk, and as far as practicable at
every village throughout India

consideration of local governments a sug-
gestion which has been made to him

ton in each village, who should be di-

that she wore at the coronation, but to
the gems in the crown has been added
the famous Kohinoor. out Of compliment
to the Indian Empire.
This marvellous gem crowned the head
Of an Indian emperor 5000 years ago.
1t passed from one imperial line to an
other. until 1t became the treasure OF
the Punjab, and then fell into the hands
Of the English, who sent It as a trophy
of conquest to Queen Victoria, thus CIV
ing point to the Indian saying that
Who holds the Kohlnoor holds India. !"
In India the superstition obtains that
II the diamond is worn by a man dire
disaster will befaH him, while. If the
wearer be a woman, fortune will shine
upon her for the rest Of her days.
So strong is the belief in this legend
that when 1t was announced that the
late King Edward intended to have the
gem set in his crown. many leading In
dians petitioned his majesty to give up
the idea.
The result was that the Kohinoor in
stead of appearing in the Kings crown,
was mounted in Queen Alexandras dia-
dem. II has now been transferred to the
crown Of Queen Mary. and before the
close Of the year this historic gem will
be seen once more in the land from
whence IT came.
