POLI's

Always foremost in the field, an- other first presentation in stock ia scheduled for Bridgeport theatregoers next week, when David Belasco's in tense and stirring dramatic success, Ine LIT. Lily will be the offering by the 'Poh Players at Polls theatre.
 Just as lover Night'' which is re- celvlng Its first presentation in stock 10 capacity audiences at Polls this week IS the latest sensation from Broadway in the line of comedy, su
 The Lily is the most modern and vital of dramas which have enthralled the big town.
 The thesis of the '.The Lily'' is abso- iutely unique in fiction and drama. As adapted by David Belasco from the French of Pierre Wolff and Cas- ton Leroux, ''The .Lily' is perhaps the most bold, daring and effective drama ever produced upon the stage of this country. It shows in every line, word and action the stagecraft of David Belasco. It is pre-eminently a drama of sex. but 1t is a striking departure from any of the so-called sex dramas that have been written before.
 In this play theatregoers will find none of the eternal triangle but the infinitely more poignant spectacle of beautiful and passionate woman cheated of her birthright-the right to be loved. The desperate struggle of .'The Lily against the gripping so- cial conventions which circumvent of the most dramatic and compelling themes in the history of the stage.
 The Lily" is the tragedy of spin sterhood. Odette the eldest daughter of the impoverished and decadent Count de Maigny. .The Lily" from grown old in the service of the fam fly; she is thirty-five at the opening of the play and her sister Christ. tiane is twenty-five. In difference to the wishes of her tyrannica1 and aI- together (though secretly) prefligate man she loved and has never ceased regretting her fidelity to so-called duty through all the succeeding years.
 The younger sister, Christiane, has fallen in love, not wisely but too well with Georges Arnaud, an artist who lives in an old country house not far from the chateau de Maigny. Arnaud secure his divorce.
 The profligate Count de Maigny, when he finds that the honor of his house is thus at stake, is impotent with rage and is about to beat Chris .iane when the gentle Odette comes to her defense. To the consternation os the family, particularly the count, she unloosens the pent-up passion of years. So far from censuring Chris tiane, she openly and eloquently de- fends her action. The scene is one of the most remarkable in the his- tory of the drama; the play itself is a most vivid exposition of woman's side of the sex question. As a dra- matic offering "The Lily" surpasses ever before given in Bridge port and in point of view of import ance is one of the big events of the season.
 Miss Blanche Hall, leading woman1 of the Pol Players, will be seen in the role of Odette, a part of tremendous power The complete production will be artistica1ly perfect, as typical Of the PoIi Players, and upon every spec tator this drama will leave an impress never to be forgotten.

THE NEW LYRIC

The present weeks production by the Frank Carpenter Stock company, ~Old Heidelberg is one of the most delightful offerings which that splen- did company has provided this sea- son, and is attracting crowded houses to the Lyric theatre at every perform ance Last evening again the house was filled to it's capacity, and yes- twday afternoon, hundreds were turn- a away. unable to obtain even ad-

The per 1ormance as 8 whole is one of the most finished seen in this city in a long time. and iS immensely pleasing to everyone.
 Get your seats early for the remain Ing performances and be sure to be in time to witness the first opening scenes; you know the curtain rises sharp at each evening, and unless you are in time for the opening of the play, you lose much of it's beauty.
 This evening the members of the 0ermania society will attend in a body, prepared to enjoy the play to the utmost. It will surely be one big uight on this occasion for the Ger manias will join in the songs, and otherwise make themselves prominent in the enjoyment of the occasion.
 A change of bill for next week has been made. and 'aThe Road to Yes ferday," comedy of fantasy in four acts, will be the attraction, instead of s'Mrs Bumpstead Leigh as formerly announced. Beulah M Dix and Eve lyn Greenleaf Sutherland, who wrote the play selected a rather odd meth cd of expressing the plot, yet in this one thing more than all else lies the great charm of the story.
 After the first scene of the first act, the action of the comedy is but the telling of dream, that for beau ty of idea and sincerity of purpose leaves nothing to be desired.
 sThe Road to Yesterday" was al- ways popular, and ins the hands of the Frank Carpenter Stock company all that is best will show. Miss Cleve- land and MT. Conness and all the oth- CT principals of the company will have great parts in ''The Road to Yesterday and each one will have real live characters to portray. The play will be handsomely and effec- lively staged.

York out yesterday. The young
ster has not been scored on in his
last two games.
Three hits were all New York
could collect. Athletics punched
six hits on Mcconnell.
Detroit played an erratic game
in the field and Cleveland made it
two out of three in the series.
Blanding and Works both
pitched good ball, each yielding
seven hits.
Jackson poked out three hits
and Cobb two, but both of the
Georgian's were doubles.
Pittsburgh won a hard battle
from St. Louis in II innings. The
Pirates made II hits to the Cards
g, but could not bunch them.
Marty O'Toole was lifted in the
eighth, being relieved by Adams,
who held St. Louis safe.
DreyfusS will not realize on the
investment he made in -O'Toole
until the expensive pitcher gains
control. His wildness is causing
him all kinds of trouble. He
passed five yesterday.
Boston and Brooklyn staged a
see-saw smuggling match yester-
day. The Beans made l8 hits

Boston lost through hard luck,
or maybe bonehead playing.

They tied the score in the
eighth by smuggling in five runs.
Brooklyn went one ahead in the
ninth. Boston filled the bases in
