THE NEW LYRIC.

The last performance of What Happened to Jones' will be given this evening, and that there will be a ca pacity audience goes without saying, for the sale of seats has been tremen- seats left unsold. It will pay every one who possibly can to see this fine comedy production.
 The offering for the coming week, Be,asco and DeMille's splendid Amer1- can play, 'AThe Wife," will be an event in local theatricals, for the play is un- doubted1y one Of the finest ever placed before the public, while the Carpen- ter company, which will be seen in it's full strength in this play. is admit tedly the strongest organization of it's kind which has ever appeared in Bridgeport.
 Next week ought to break all records at the Lyric, for with such a play, and with such 8 magnificent presenting cast, together with the splendid stage settings which are promised by Man ager Isham, the week will be brim full of the greatest delight for all who en- joy an artistic stage performance.
 Belasco and DeMillG. fin '"The Wife" ave to the American stage the great est play 1t had evers known, up to the time of its first production. Since that time, it has stood as model for all American writers, but not one has come within a long distance of reach ing the splendid heights attained by the authors of 'The Wife," and 1t will be a long time before a success sor which is as unqualifedly powerful will be produced. "The Wife," holds a place by itself, a special niche in the hall of Fame as regards stage produc- tions, and that our theatre goers are to have the opportunity to see it, pre- sented by as competent a cast as that comprised in the Frank Carpenter Stock company, is a matter for con- graduation.
 Manager Isham, not to be outdone, promises a stage production of the play which will be a surprise and a delight to the patrons of the theatre, and the week will undoubtedly be filled with delight for every one.
 There will be the usual matinees, and the regular prices of the Lyric will prevail, notwithstanding the ex- traord;nary quality of the offering. There are many good seats still re- maining for the week, but those who desire the best sittings should get busy early, or they will be forced to be content with what are left. The week will probably be the biggest of the season at the Lyric.

'THE SEVEN LAST WORDS"

Many impressive services are being arranged for Holy Week, but perhaps none will come more deeply into the hearts of the people than the service which will be held on next Friday night at the First Presbyterian Church. At this time Dubois famous cantata, '"The Seven Last Words, will be sung by the quartet and full chorus of the church. In preparation for this service which will interpret the message of the cross through the means of music, the pastor, Rev.

This service, as well as those of Wednesday and Thursday evenings, promises to be a most fitting preparation for the ser vice of Good Friday, and all worship pers are invited.

Mr.. AND MRS. ROBERT M'KEE
CELEBRATED THEIR TWENTY-FIVE
ANNIVERSARY WEDNESDAY EVENING

attempted by any business house in
this section, namely: the giving away
Of the beautiful Upton Parlor Grand
Piano which is now on exhibition at
their store.
This piano retails at $400 each, guar
anteed for ten years. The principal
points of superiority of the celebrated
Upton piano over any other of this
class Of instruments lie in the three
strings in unison with ovcrstrung bass,
the splcndidly pitched scale and true
sounding board, which gives the Upton
thot rich, deep, even tone to much adj
mired.
In recent interview with Mr. Nor
an regarding this decided innovation
in advertising, Mr.. Moran stated:
"We have been enjoying the patron
age and confidence of the buyers of
this community for some time now and
by always trying to keep our stocks
complete the saying that you can get
it at the Ramsey Drug store' has be-
come household expression. In givin"
away this piano we are actuated by a
double purpose, to show our apprecia-
tion of our patronage of our friends
during the past, also to encourage new
trade and to bring the many splendid
values we are now showing in all lines
/ TO the attention Of every buyer in this
territory. The plan we are using in
giving away this piano is equitable and
fair to all, simply this, every person
buying one wollar's worth of anything
in our store will receive a coupon good
for 100 votes. The person returning to
us the largest number Of votes will be
given the piano absolutely free of all
/ cost. No favors will be shown. Oul
reputation for Square dealing assnres
our customers of that fact
This four hundred dollar Uptol
/ Parlor Grand piano is surely present
worth having and we predict a very
"merry race' for coupon votes during
(. the next few months.
The Ramsey Drug company arr
surely to be congratulated upon thei
i broad minded methods and ''Trad
Gettcr' advertising system.
