Welcome To Our Fair City; Come
 See Our John
Good Chance This Week, For He's Doing "The Virginian" in Play That Thrills With the Wild, Free West

Have you seen the great plains where the cattle range? Do you know the foot hills, and the red mountains that rear giant bulks to the clouds Have you waited an hour or two among the pine shanties in the bus mess center of a ''city" at a railroad junction on western line? Do you know the ranches and the great terri tories in which women are scarce as hens teeth, and men settle their dis putes at the pistols end where the process of Judge Lynch still runs in the land, and a cattle thief is the worst criminal that encumbers the earth? t-.
 If you know these things and have felt their thrill you are in proper was presented, last night, for the first time at Poli's, and which is to run for the week.
 John Ince has the title role, part of the type in which he excels, for the Virginian Is an untutored chap, strong, tender, brave and true, cow boy who is leader of daring men. a lover who greets his lady in the spirit of knights of old. Pretty hot stuff, eh, as the gallery gods put it. when they like a thing. But then 1nce is an institution. He is part of Bridgeport, like Seaside Park and the City Hall He has been here so long, saying, welcome to our fair city. Won't you come to the matinee and see our John.''
 The play is adapted from the book by owen Mister. It covers the whole gamut of thrills. There's the pretty school marm, the only single woman in the neighborhood, whom all the ho twin O of the babies there's the lynching so real that you feel sorry for the vic tims, and there's a shOot-you-on sight duel, in the last act, in which our hero pots the villain, and the curtain goes down with our heroine clinsing to our hero's neck like the vine of the sturdy oak Some heroine, you'd better be- lieve, as Miss Annie Hollinger does it. AS for Joseph Eggenton, seeing him as Trampas one could never believe him anything but villain born to be wicked and predestined to be damned. He's a thrill all right. Then there's Tom Moore, whose Spanish Ed, could scarcely be improved upon. Want to know how a coward acts. night was the place to see.
 More than a score of people are used in the production. That's too many to catalogue here. but they made the team work and the verisi- rnilitude as the real critics say. The scenery is elaborate. There are four settings something to stir the pride of local public. There was just one flaw in the production, or hardly that.
 The mocking bird really must be toned down. It is ferociously unkind to run in a mocking bird with a voice like steam caliope on Dbne of the most tender passages in the show. But so it was. Just as our John got a good grip on our heroine and was looking unutterable things into her eyes, the mocking bird began to sing. Heavens how it sang. Pianissimo for the mocking bird, hereafter, please, MT. Stage Manager

Banker Tells Of Wife's C0IdneSS

Special from United Press.)

 New York, June 2-When Edward V. Gambler, cashier and director of the Merchants Exchange National Bank, resumed the witness stand to- day, in the trial of the suit of his wife for a separation and his cross bill for an annulment of the marriage he com- pleted his story of the happenings fol- lowing his wedding. He was then turned over to Mrs. Gamblers counsel, Augustus Van Wyck, for cross-exam- ination
 Gambler insisted that at no time following their wedding did his wife show any affection for him. When he complained to her father the latter told him that Mrs. Gambler was suf- fer1ng from nervous prostration. Gambler said that when they reached Philadelphia on their honeymoon, his wife complained to him that she felt like hell"
 The bringing into the case of the name of Harvey c. Sickler, president of the Atlantic Fertilizer & Oil Com pany, and one of the millionaire or ganizers of the Fertilizer Trust, add ed interest to the case today. He is the man whom Gambler alleges his wife lavfshed kisses on in New Jersey in auto drives about Central Park.
 Gambler testified that on the trip abroad after the wedding his wife spent most of each day in their state room. At night she mingled with the younger passengers and participated in the dancing.
 ''But she was always cold to me- he said. Evenings when we retired to our cabin she would have nothing to say. I always kissed her good night before going to my own bed One night I asked her to embrace me and she put her arms around my neck, bear hop fashion. Her attitude al- ways indicated to me that I was re- pellant to her."

 What have you been doing, robbing a clothes line?'
