MARIE DRESSLER

Famous Actress at Park Theatre Tonight, Perhaps For
 Last Time
Soon to Retire She Says and Will
 Make Her Home in New England.

Miss Marie Dressler. the eminent player whose portrayal of comedy roles has made her name a house. hold word both here and abroad, and who comes to the Park theatre to- night for a single performance in her greatest success, ''Tillie's Nightmare" welcomed a representative of this newspaper at the Stratfleld today.
 Recently the prints have been dis cussing her birth place, several cities claiming the honor.
 Her interviewer wanted to know whether the report he had heard about her Canadian birth was correc.
 ''Yes," said she, T acknowledge the soft impeachment. I am a Canadian was born in Cobourg, Ontario, and immediately thereafter the town be- came a. summer resort
 Its a long journey from Cobourg to the head of a company of 100 players" suggested the interviewer
 Indeed it is. and I am as much surprised as anybody could be over having made it." said Miss Dressler. "As a young girl realized it was necessary for me to turn my hand to something in order to earn a uveli- hood. After a careful survey of the situation I decided that the stage of fered more inducements for a girl

than most other things. So I adopt ed it as a profession. I had no idea that one day my name would be flaming in electric signs along Broad way, and the principal cities of the country"
 And doubtless fame has not been thrust upon you," remarked the in terviewer.
 Miss Dressler put aside the manner of a comedienne. Fame is thrust upon few of us," she declared. '"This is the result of hard work and a most trying life. But at last the journeys end is in sight. There is a little place in New England that I call home now, and I am looking forward to the time when I shall bid goodbye to the footlights and all the kind audiences that have made success possible. l shall retire within a few years.
 "I expect that my present play, "Tillie's Nightmare will be my last. I consider it the only play have ever had, that offered me just the oppor- tunity I have always wanted. The people seem to like it. It is the greatest success I have ever had, so why not end my stage days with it :? It was written for me, and was en- tireliy my own idea"
 Miss Dressler concluded this inter- view by saying that she felt that much of the success which has been hers was due to the excellence of the company with which MT. Lew Fields surrounded her.

POL1'S.

Headed by the one and only Eddie Leonard, this weeks bill at Polls drew . crowd this afternoon which packed Polls Theatre to the doors, and it was a delighted crowd, too, as frequent and long sustained bursts of applause throughout the entire Dill gave testimony Never in the his tory of the local theatre has better, balanced and more entertaining mli of genuine vaudeville been offereo 10 the theatre-going public.
 On his visit to Bridgeport Eddie Leonard brings with him many new songs that will be whistled and sung throughout the entire city before the week is through. He also has one or two of the famous and favorite old ones which are always so welcome from Leonard. He is still the one master of the "soft shoe" dancing and throughout his entire act proves him self to be the king of Old-time min streI entertainers. He is ably assist ed in his performance by Miss Mabel Russell
 "Ffve Melody Maids and a Man" are declared to be the neafest and most attractive piano-playing and singing act ever booked in vaudeville. The Maids" of the performance are very pretty girls and their gowns are beauties. The Man is a very clever entertainer and the whole company makes a vaudeville troupe par excel lence. The act is a sure winner.
 Bubbling over with magnetism. Belle Blanche begins to win the audience the moment her pretty self emerges from the wings and appears before the footlights. She is possessed of a sweet singing voice of crystal clarity and has that personal magnetism which grips her hearers and makes her act a tremendous success
 Harry Richards & Company in pre- senting the farce comedy sketch, Hal lucinations''. are providing Bridgeport with delicious food for laughter dur ing the present week. Richards well merits his title of '"The Dippy Com edian", and his odd and eccentric ac- tions during the screamingiy funny scenes of the play furnish a combina- weeping alligator.
 As soon as ''The Great Howard" ap- pears on the stage the audience learns where he captured the title of ''The Great. for his ventriloquial act is so entirely original and apart from the ordinary that it seems almost like an- other province of vaudeville, when compared with the regular run of such acts. He is master of the art and one of the pleasantest entertainers that ever stepped on the boards, which is the reason for his great success wherever he appears.
 Other vaudeville hits on the bill this week include Williams and Warner, French musical eccentrics with novel and pleasing act, and Knapp Brothers, a clever pair of entertainers. The whole bill is replete with the finest of vaudeville amusement and is bound to draw the biggest houses of the sea- son. The same popular prices pre-

What Country Is
 x The Greatest?
Dr. Wiley Says One That Treats Women Right, Eats More
 Sugar, Uses More Soap

Louisviiie, F.. Oct. 23.-"If a country treats its women right ana eats more sugar per head and con- sumes more soap per head than any other country, then it is the greatest nation," said pr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the governments chemistry bureau, in his address here to the national American woman suffrage convention. He had been introduced by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the association, as "the man who IS trying to give us a fair chance to live" He began by enumerating the things that make for country's greatness, narrowing the test down to the three requisites named. By these tokens, he concluded, America is first.
 Dr. Wiley, Miss Mary Johnson of Breckenridge of the University of Chicago, and Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Kalamazoo. Mich., were speakers at the open meeting held at a. local theater and attended by over bers of the city's leading professional men had seats on the platform.
 Last night the officers of the as- sociation gave a reception for dele gates.
 In the light of his opinion of woman's preparedness for suffrage, Dr. Wiley declared he never knew of an organized band of women beins on the wrong side.
 Women" he said, "are tower of strength to every public man who is trying to do his duty. I don't know why she has been kept from the polls.
 Surely not because of lack of in- tellect. What we need in politics Is more ethics rather than more in- tellect.'
 He referred to big American prob- lems, saying they needed both the men and the women to solve. He declared he has favored woman suf- frage for nearly 25 years.
 Miss Breckenridge devoted her at- tention to the suffrage question from, the viewpoint of the working woman. She expressed her conviction that the ballot is at present a domestic necessity and that housekeeping is a public function" She in a measure blamed woman for failure to assert herself and demanded what is her right.
 Enlightened cities must be govern ed as enlightened homes are, jointly, by enlightened men and women, for the benefit and trust of the rising generations declared Mrs. Crane, whose address dealth with immedi- ate and practical municipal problems of direct and important interest to women.
 Politics at it's best,'' she said, "is a noble profession, in which we would fain engaged. Woman's interest in public affairs by reason of her age long experience in home making and mothering of children, has fitted her for politics just as we'll as has mans activities in trade. When trade needs attention, trade gets it. When women get the ballot, all else will be regulated so as best to promote the home"

Son Chief Witness Against Father In
 Wife Poison Case
Special from United Press


 Newark, Oct. 23-Should Allison Mcfarland be convicted of poisoning his wife with cyanide of potassium, last Tuesday night, his own six years old son, Robert, will have more than any other witness to do with putting the moose about his fathers neck, ac- cording to the view Prosecutor Will bur Mott takes of the case. The pros- ecutor's theory is that the motive for the murder charge against MacFar- land is to be found in the latters al- leged intention to marry Miss Flor ence Bromley of Philadelphia, from whom Mott says a number of letters to the Newark advertising man were found in the Mcfarland home after the wife's death.
 Entirely ignorant of the role the prosecutor has in mind for him Robert and little sister Ruth are being de- tained at the home of friends here,
 The prosecutor is especially desir- ous of preventing anyone but himself from speaking with the MacFarland boy.
 Mott had contemplated at first the pushing of manslaughter case against the advertising man, on the ground that the keeping of deadly poi son in a bottle which 1t was possible for his wife to mistake for one con- taining bromide solution constituted a degree of carelessness which could not be condoned. The letters limiting, as the prosecutor thinks, at desire on Netherlands part to have his wife out of the way that he might wed an- other woman formed the basis tor the more serious charge.

PARK THEATRE

Those who love to laugh, and their name is legion, are Teveling in the anticipation of Marie Dressler's en- gagement in tTillie's Nightmare" at the Park tonight.
 Both star and vehicle have made record never before eQualled by any entertainment of similar type. Origi- nally produced in Albany, New York. in August 1909 "Tillie's Nightmare" was soon taken to New York where Miss Dressler kept the metropolitan ties and their visitors in the land Of laughter for eleven months.
 When the annals of the stage are written that year will be written down as the year of laughter. Leaving Lew Fields Herald Square Theatre Miss Dressler, with nine cars in her special train, started on transcontinental tour. This was the largest theatrical train and the largest organization of it's kind that ever started on such a tour.
 For 107 consecutive weeks Miss Dressler never missed a performance and now after a short rest, she and her company have started again on another trip across the continent.
 This will be absolutely the last season of l"Tillie'si Nightmare"

WHEAT IS ERRATIC
The July and September Option
Take Different Course.
One Delivery Is Up While Other
Is Down.
ABSENCE OF DEMAND
Gives an Easy Tone to Corn at
the Opening.
Cattle Steady; Hogs Weak to 5
Cents Lower.
ABSENCE OF DEMAND

Chicago. June 2.-WHEAT-Fear of
manipulation brought about an irregular,
unsettled market today for wheat. The
july and September options pursued diff
Ierent paths and during a great deal of
the time one delivery was up when the
other was down. Predictions however
that world shipments would be more than
2,O00,000 bushels in excess of last week
tended to head off any general advance.
The opening was Nc lower to 1sc up. July
started at 907sc to 907sc, the same as last
fell back to 905sQ90Ac.
Searching dry weather southwest caused
later a decided return of strength which
was added to by news of grasshoppers in
Minnesota and of Hessian fly in Indiana.
The close was easy profit taking, July
selling finally at 91ssc, net gain of 15c.
CORN-Corn rallied because country
sales were only fair. An easy tone at the
outset was attributed to absence of any
notable demand. July opened unchanged
to nc off at 537sc to 541sc and recovered
to 544c.
With weather and crop conditions favor
ing sellers the market subsequently eased
or. The close was steady at 5334 @53Nc, a
net decline of 1@3sc.
OATS-Strength development in oats be-
cause Of dry weather complaints from
France. Sellers were scarce. July start
ed at 36AQ36asc last nights level, to Mc
below and then climber to 361z@365sc.
VISIONS-Provisions were weak.
