"A BACHELORS HONEYMOON
ExcellenfIy Done By The Frank Car penter Stock Company at The
 Lyric.

The Frank Carpenter stock company outdid themselves last night in the first production of "A Bachelor s Honeymoon" One of the finest com edies seen in Bridgeport in many year and played in the excellent man. ner shown last night, it will surely prove a record breaker at the Lyric theatre.
 "A Bachelors Honeymoon provided part for each player which allowed them te live the part in their own natural selves. Miss Cleveland, who is naturally vivacious young person; as Miss Arbuckle, the Juno Joyce of the stage, had part which showed her as a clever comedienne, as no pre- vious part she has had has done. To say that she won the approval Of her audience is to put it mildly. From the first rise of the curtain, to the last fall, she fairly forgot she was Miss Cleveland and lived the part of the girl whom MT. Bachelor, (Mr. Con- ness). had brought to his home as
 wife. In his part, Mir. Conness also had his first opportunity of show1ns himself as comedian. Previously his
 parts have been more of a romantic nature. As MT. Bachelor, who is all
 ways in trouble,-with the loud pedal on the trouble,-he shows that when
 he wants to be he is a comedian of
 the first class.
 Miss Carpenter, as Marianne, the i novel-reading maid, has part 1n which she cntinues to show her abil- ity as fun maker. Marianne, with
 Anthony Gurnbug, the detective CMr. Elmore), holds the key to the entire
 situation. but, not knowing. 1t, and not using, it, the fun keeps up.
 Miss Strickland as Minerva, Bache- lor,s sister and moral guardian, has part for which she is peculiarly adapted. She has an all-powerful in>
 fluence over MT. Bachelor, and It IS
 his audacity in disregarding this in- fluence which keeps him in hot water cratic maiden sister and aunt, Miss
 Strickland has made the greatest hit
 of her stay here.
 MT. Devine, as Dr. Ludwig Schwartz,
 has part which gives him better
 opportunity to show his ability than
 some previous parts and he takes ad-
 vantage of the opportunity. AS for
 of one of MT. Bachelors twin daugh-
 ters, he finds himself in almost as
 much trouble as MT. Bachelor himself
 His German dialect is perfect, and his
 "Donder and BlitZeni' is cure for any case of blues. MT. Carroll, as
 Stephen Houston. a busy man. with
 not much time to spare, and who
 wants to be married by moon to-
 morrow made another great hit. Bar
 ton Williams, as Joe, the butler, was especially good, and Lucia Bender and
 Florence Phelps as Amaryllis and
 Charyllis, twin daughters of Mir.
 Bachelor, complete what is one of the
 finest casts which ever played at pop
 ular prices in this city.

 pense in presenting it in Bridgeport His stage settings are the finest tC be had, and patrons of the Lyric are
