LYRIC THEATRE

One of the finest, most entertaining com medies on the American stage is Mrs. Tenn pies Telegram which the Eleanor Cleveland Stock company is
 presenting this week at the new Lyric theatre, with crowded houses in ae- tendance at every performance. The
 method and the quality of it's pre-
 sentation is creating. new favor for
 the company, and everyone who has seen the play mites in endorsing both
 the vehicle and the company. Miss Temple, has achieved an excellent sue
 cess, and has heightened greatly the
 impression she has already created
 as an actress of exceptional merit.
 MT: Ingram in the opposite leading
 character of MT Frederick Fuller. has

 sThe Great Divide,'' one of the greatest dramas on the stage, will be the bill for next week, and in 1t, the Eleanor Cleveland company will find a vehicle which will give another splendid dem onstration of their pow CTS as entertainers of the highest class. The Great Divide has been a mammoth success, and the oppor- tunity to see it, with so strong and
 so well balanced a cast as that com prised in this organization will be an event in local theatricals which should not be overlooked.
 The play tells powerful story, one at all times consistent and entertain ing. It is thoroughly logical, and it's characters give company of capa- bility plenty of opportunity to demon strate their fitness to be ranked as among the strongest on the boards There is plenty of good comedy to re- lieve the more strenuous situations, l and it is all introduced in so clever a | manner that it never fails to appeal l to all.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

GINGER GIRLS"


 Saturated with the triple essense, mirth, melody and merrinent, Gin ger GirlG'', one of Joe Hurtig's master productions, will make their annual am, day, Friday and Saturday. Of course, E.. Lee Wrothe, that stellar comedian, will be the chief feature of the new offering. The attraction has under gone a complete change since last seen here and if it has been an entertain ment of exquisite excellence in it's old of joy and nerriest hilarity in its present shape. Wrothe again assumes the character of +'Janftor' Higgins type which he made famous. In the new vehicle he presents himself in a very prosperous state, having fallen heir to a considerable estate. In keep is seen everywhere, where the spend ing of the money fails to be a hard ship. From the gambling quarters of a so-calIed club house he wanders to the race track and though a conspir- acy IS in action to deprive him of his fortune, it seems, that he. is meeting with unlimited luck. Suddenly mat teTS change. Dame fortune withdrew her smiles and Higgins experiences the bitter end Of fate. This is principally due to the trickery of his conspirators, him after robbing him out of his money. His schemers finally sympa- thize with him and restore him to his former position of "Janitor Higgins in a New York apartment house, which they bought with his money. The various scenes leading up to the climax are exhilarating and carry an i overabundance of original situations, in which the entire cast finds excel lent opportunity to show its dramatic ability The book is by Frank L. Wakefield, who portrays the character of Kid Wise in this offering. The company consists of f1fty-four people. the greater half representing chorus of unsuaE charm and beauty. The general makeup of the production is in full keeping with the customary ''Hurtig Type"

POLES THEATRE

Commend us to MT. Poli to give to the people of Bridgeport the very lat est and best plays released for stock, s evidence of his procuring for next week Henry Blossoms well known comedy success "Checkers.'' Here is a play that was produced in 1904 and has been one. of the biggest road suc- cesses ever since. This. is the first was secured for the PoH circuit by the payment of one of the largest roy alties ever recorded for a stock play. Thos. Ross starred in Checkers" for over two years. and made one of the biggest hits of his career in the title role. -i~Checkers'' is a clever conlbina- comedy, the four scenes being laid in a, hotel lobby a country store, a race track and the home of the pros pectiYe father-in-law, and com pines a best comedy ever written. The char acters are typical of any race track and country town and are wonderfully drawn characteriZations.
 The Poli players are being seen this week in the morality play "Thais' a portrayal of. triumph of Christianity over Pagani The play is tellingly rendered and is being .dene--WitEasz a due sense of the proprieties- The story itself is that of the rise of girl from infamous surroundings in pagan Alexandria in the early Christian era. The play is set with numerous pie turned backgrounds which are a cred 1t to the management. The first scene shows Thais in the inn near Alexan- dria. in which she has been brought up, and selling lowers and kisses to sailors The cruel keeper of the inn and her son, the cripple, exact the earnings from the slave girl and are assisted in keeping her in degradation by the rabb1e which infests the inn for what wine may be obtained there. The story is begun by a scene in the home of the anchorites, where Pap- hus sees a vision of lost woman whom he must save. This woman is Thais. Nicias the early friend of Pap hus, who wanders into his deserted hut, volunteers to search for the wom- an whose soul is lost, and in pursuit of his search finally finds Thais ir her degraded surroundings. He takes her to his own rich home in Alexan- dria where Paphus comes and in 3 wonderful scene induces her to re- nounce her present life. The story is one of redemption, first from the depths of disgrace to a real love, and then from love to happiness in Christ It is one Of the finest stock produce tions ever seen in Bridgeport and re- fleets much credit upon it's producers
