WIVES OF GREAT MEN ONLY CALLED. OUT WHEN PROPER

 "A great felier never gifts it rubbed off fer even one evenin'. He never when other folks do. He thinks he's poplar when folks CT ony afraid O. him. You kin tell by tn way a great feller pays his car far CT buys a news paper that whoever married him is tremblin' am wonderin' what he's go- ing t hop her about when he gifts home.

POLI'S

News that will make Bridgeport's
 theatregoers jump with joy is on hand next weeks bill will be headed by
 the Four Mortons. the vaudeville fam
 ivy that set Bridgeport crazy when 1t
 was playing the circuit several years ago Never was an act so popular
 in this city and never did vaudeville
 entertainment strike the popular fancy
 so exactly as the brand purveyed by
 this great vaudeville family.
 Since theEr last visit here the Nor
 tons have been, paying in leg. .timate
 or other productions that kept them
 apart. Now the family is reunited
 in it's great vaudeville act and will
 come to Bridgeport to take the city
 by storm once more. They are ali
 there,-Kitty, Sam, Paul and finally
 Clara,-better equipped than ever to win the hearts of the theatregoers.
 This will be a treat sure to be ap--
 precfated throughout Bridgeport, and
 the result will be as in former years -throngs that packed Poli s to the
 very doors. The Four Mortons have
 at the local theatre, setting a mark that has never been equalled. While
 they will of course be the big at
 fractions of the bill, they will by no
 means have occasion to feel lonesome, for the remainder of the bill will be of exceptionally y high calibre and the whole will offer an unparalleled per formance of high class vaudeville and popular prices.
 Those who have thus far failed to see this weeks great bill at Poli's owe it to themselves to hurry. and
 obtain seats, for the house is rapidly selling out for the few remaining per formances. Heading the bill this week is Charming Pollock's great sketch,
 Liars, a dramatic treat that every
 one should see in order to realize the possibilities of little vaudeville sketch, only twenty minutes in length but crammed with as much interest and real drama as a three-act, two hour legitimate production. Then too, the rest of the bill is sufficiently di- versified so suit any sort of taste. There is the great Lester, a world fa- nous ventriloquist with a fund of wit and humor; Vallecita and her Ieop- ards, thrilling and entertaining; Frank Stafford & Co.,, presenting a very novel and charming skit, '"The Hunters Game; Ethel Green, the popular sing | ing comedienne, who has scored one | of the greatest individual hits within 1 the history of vaudeville in this city; Morris and Kramer, a pair of excep- tionally clever black-face entertainers; Mead and Mamie Werntz, daring aer- 1 fal performers; the Electrograph with the latest and best successes of the
 motion picture word, and Polfs or
 chestra with popular selections of the day. Altogether a bill to delight and please and well worth seeing.
