Welcome for Drew Tn
 Middle Aged Romance
Veteran Matinee Idol Greet ed by Large Audience at Park, in Play Showing that Propinquity Is Cup ids One Best Bet.

In a delightful drama of love in middle life, John Drew delighted an which sat a smattering of the young CT generation, at the Park Theatre, last night Drew is a wonderful tra- dition. once the champion love maker bnatinee ideoIs, he is stfll making love after high noon-in fact after 3 o'clock D. m. on the sundial of life Ap- parently everybody in Bridgeport who had ever seen Drew in the hey dey of his romantic powers was on hand, in spite of the storm, and middle aged eyes were damp with tears and mid dle aged hearts beat faster as the hero of the stage felt Its way through a love affair with a mere chit of a girl to the satisfactory haven of marriage to his middle aged typewriter, lady of high intelligence, pleasing manners and incipient embonpoint.
 It was almost as good as being young again, to see, ocular proof that cupid hath his victories at forty-five or fifty, no less than at sweet six there comes a time when steadiness, intelligence, dignity and obedience may be acceptable substitutes for the springy step, the soft complexion, the rose touched cheek and the lips like cupid's bows.
 This drama, so adapted to the per sonalfty of Drew, is called The Sin gle Man It is from the pen of
 
 story of Robert Worthington, a sue cessfuI bachelor, who is visited bv bis brother Henry, HenrY's wife and their baby. The scrutiny of this domestic bliss turns Roberts attention to mat rimony, whereat Henry's wife invites a Spinster friend, handsome and will ing to wed, to visit them. But Rob ert is attracted to Maggie Cottrell. a mere child, and asks Miss HeseItine, his secretary, to ascertain if there is hope for him. She finds there is, and Maggie and Robert become en- gagged.
 But as the play develops it appears that a. .msre child like Maggfg will never do for a man of Roberts tall entE years and sedentary pursuits, and so the entire audience watches breathlessly to find. ont if he will ul-s tfmately marry the secretary, which of, course he does, the author having made that necessity of the play in the first act.
 Thus it is proved once more that in middle aged romance propinquity is all four aces and most Of the rest of the pack
 How could van immature little girl, or a. designing spinster, have any show under those ciretlnls tances? The part of Miss Heseltine was most. ac-- ceptably played by. ATaHy Bo,and, and. the role of Mrs. enry Worthfngton by Louise Drew. Thais Lawton gave an excellent performance of the spin ster

Lark diyed into the base ment mad through flames and smoke, passed Gfblin, a small man, apparent ly dying, through the window. Then, groping through the smoke, he found Campeon dead. He sent his body up and followed it with the Unconscious form of William Sheehan.
 At S:30, it was discovered that Fire Chief William Walsh, in command of the second battalion, who was last seen on the 4th floor of the burning building, was missing. Chief Kenton ordered an immediate search for him, but no trace of Walsh had been found up to 9:30 and it was feared he was killed.
 Conrad Seibert, a special officer in the Equitable ebuilding, was also be- ieved to have been killed.
 At 9:30, fire underwriters in the vii cinity of the building, declared the loss would range from $5.O0O,O00 to SEQ, ,0Oo,- 900 or more, depending on the damage done the vaults of the banks and trust companies and insurance companies in he building. It was not known how many million dollars in actual money was stored in the vaults of the two pig trust companies.

 WANTED-A BIRD. Cooper. a ho- tel keeper, wrote to one Leitner of Egypt, Ga, the following letter: '1 understand you have a good bird dog for sale. I have been sick several months. and my physician says must get in the woods and stay there, so l thought I would hunt a while as I am an old bird hunter and like the sport. Send him to me by baggage master on Central eof Georgia at my expense. Let me try him a day or two, and if he is all right. I will re- turn him to you in good order. We have more scraps to throw away around the hotel than 20 dogs can eat" A dog was expressed over the Crimson Railroad-Leitner did not think it was safe to trust the baggage master of the Central As Cooper was in North Georgia at the time of the dogs arrival, his wife reeeipted for the shipment, and, to quote literal
 ly from Cooper's testimony. ''she tied him up at the hotel and he howled so much that she took him out for a walk for some exercise, and he got away.
 The dog was never heard of again. Leitner contended that inasmuch as Cooper's wife receipted for the doe Cooper waived the violation of the instructions in the letter as to the method of shipment and became bound either to return the dog or to pay its value.
