LYRIC THEATRE

The Frank Carpenter company re- served one of it's very best offerings with which to close it's season at the Lyric theatre. "The Road to Tester day" furnishing the excellent, vehicle for the company for this weeks pro- duction. This is one of the most de- 1ightful plays which have been seer at the Lyric theatre this season, and the big audiences which were present yesterday afternoon and evening gave all possible demonstrations of their complete approval of the work of the players, of the merit of the play, and the magnificent manner in which the stage production was effected.
 Miss Cleveland has an ideal role in this play. one in which she is permit ted to demonstrate to the fullest her versatility, her proficiency, and her thorough knowledge of the subtleties of stage craft. Miss Cleveland was a member of the original cast playing -'The Road to Yesterday" and was therefore well acquainted with the ideas of the authors. and their re- Quirements for the various roles. Her guidance in the present production was largely felt and 1t Is due to her untiring efforts that much of the suc- cess of the current offering is due.
 MT. Conness also sienaHy ac9ults himself in his role this week, and his host of friends will mourn his depar- ture more than ever after seeing his work in "The Road to Yesterday" Mr. Carroll also does an excellent piece of work, and Miss Carpenters work as Black Malena. the gypsy; IS simply splendid, the best she has shown during the entire season.
 Miss Strickland has an unusually good part in this weeks offering, and it shows her in different line of character work than she has hereto fore displayed She succeeds so well. in fact. that she is given decidedly che becomes even more marked as a favorite, by members of the com pany than ever.
 Every character in "The Road to Yesterday" especially during the de- piction of Elspeth's dream, is splen- didly done, and 1t Is safe to state that this will prove one of the best re- membered of all the Carpenter offer ings 1t seems too bad that the sea- son of the company should be cut short just as the company is in the prime of it's success. and the. great number of admirers of the company win wait eagerly until the opening or next season, when the company is to return complete. and with renewed visor for their work
 The present week will be one of the largest patronfzad, and one of the everyone will unite in showing the members, of the Carpenter company just how deeply they have become rooted in the affections of the local theatregoing public. It certainly is . fact that no. company has become so popular in Bridgeport, at any time, as this one.
 There viii be the usual performances this week of .sThe Road to Yester- dnys and the sale of seats ensures crowded houses for each one. There are still some good seats to be had. and the theatregoers of the city will undoubtedly rally in full force to the support of their favorftes dramatic sor- ganixation- If you have not gotten your seats already, get them at once. and don't lose the opportunity to sec the closing performance Of the sea

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol

Are BENG cured by Vlnol
New Haven, Conn.-"I was troubled
with most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that was discouraged. / was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and must say
never felt better in my life can al
so recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best possi-
BILE remedy"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol SO efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try bottle of Vinol with the UNI
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

#warded to Mrs. Frank Friend
fof Inglewood the $500 in gold
as the price for offering the
best suggestions for an annual
festival. The contest was
opened September 18, 1910, and
continued for a long time there
after. The mass of literature
occupied the attention of the
judges for a long time and a
unanimous verdict was not
reached till recently.
GETS PLEASANT SURPRISE
Mrs. Friend was a happy but
surprised woman when given
the $l00 prize money. She had
concluded that the prize had
been awarded long ago and that
the fact had escaped her notice.
Her surprise was therefore the
greater when informed that
she was the lucky person. The
Examiner, inaugurated the
contest at the time that Mayor
Alexander sent a letter to the
Chamber of Commerce, asking
that body to take some action
by comforting with other organ
izations that would tend to
stimulate tourists and increase
the travel to Southern Califor-
MIA. In other words he asked

and weighed the suggestions

Dear Sir-The name of the
annual festival should by all
means, be the "Selegna SOL" a
name neither borrowed nor to
be duplicated, as it is Los An

our superior climatic conditions
and our many resources, "The,
Selegna Sol" would soon out
rival the "Mardi Gras" of New
Orleans, the "Aksarben" of
Omaha, or even the great Job
