THE NEW LYRIC

This evening, the closing performan-
 ces of ''The Marriage of Kitty" and
 an immense audience will witness this
 latest effort of the Frank Carpenter
 stock company for the last time. The
 company has done so well in thfs
 merry comedy that thousands have
 enjoyed seeing it, and the reputation
 of the company for general excellence
 has grown apace.
 There are still some good seats re- maining for this evening, but they can only be obtained by early appIi- cation. It will be the late conner who loses, for the house will surely be crowded to the doors tonight
 The presentation of D'Ennery's great French drama, '"The Two Orphans" next week, will be the second oppor- tunity the people of Bridgeport have had of seeing the members of the Frank Carpenter Stock company in a
 costume" p ay. The first was Sweet Kitty Bellairs," with which the com pany opened its stay at the Lyric: but that opening attraction was surround ed with such adverse conditions that 1t was hardly fair to judge of the performance of that play. However, unfair as were the conditions the Judgment of the people was quickly given, and 1t has stood unchanged until the present time. Now that we are to have another opportuni y to see the company in a play of the cd French school, such a play as "The Two Orphans" we will have the right to judge further of the real merits of the company in the legitimate drama.
 Judging by past experiences, the verdict will be all in the favor of the com pany, for they have certainly shown up to the present time. MT. Carpenter has not only given the play an excellent cast, but he will invest it with stage settings such as have in lie afN He has had his own artist at work all this week, in preparation for the event. and the result will be all that could posSiby be wished for
 Miss Cleveland, the star of the Car penter company, will be seen as the unfortunate blind girl, Louise, the role which the late lamented Kate Clax- ton played for so many years, and with such success, and in which she was playing the night of the Brook lyn' Theatre fire. The role of Hen rietta, the other sister, will be in the keeping of Miss Carpenter, while Miss Strick and will be seen as Madame Frochard; of the male parts, MT. Con- ness will, of course be seen as the Chevalier, MT. Carroll as Jacques, while the role of Pierre, the cripp' ed will be well taken care of by MT. James P. Hagan, an artist of exceptional reputation The cast cal s for a big company, so that all the fla Vorites of the Carpenter company will be seen, and the production FyvilI be one of the most comp etc and satisfying seen in Bridgeport in a long time.
 Seats for the coming week are now on sale, and those who are wise are securing them now, either by person. al application or by phone. It will be necessary to get them well in ad- vance, for the supply, as usual, will be far more limited than the demand and late corners will stand little show of getting what they want. The reg ular matinees will be given, and the usual Lyric scale of prices will pre- vail

MOOSE LIVING WHIST
 WILL CLOSE TONIGHT
Immense Throng On Hand Last Eve ning-''Babe'' Lewis Gives Exhibit Prof. Guilty Directs Grand
 March.

The second night of the Moose Liv- ing Whist was even a greater success than the first. Everything passed off smoothly and there was notable ad- dition to the vaudeville part of the program.
 Edward Lewis, perhaps better known as Baby" Lewis, a Moose scout, gave a fine exhibition of lari- at throwing. Lewis was with the Hoffman Midwest show last season, and is going to be with Pawnee Bills show this year, and Capt John T. Wells, of the Moose Scouts was for tunate in securing his appearance. Baby Lewis will appear again this evening, showing some fancy rifle shooting in addition to the rope work.
 Immediately after the game of liv- ing whist, a grand march was led by Prof. Walmsley and Mrs. T. F. Ira cey. under the direction of Daniel Guilty. Dancing was then enjoyed un- til early this morning.
 The living whist will be held again this evening and will start at sharp, in order to allow as much time as pos sible for dancing.
 Visitors from councils of Moose in New Haven, Waterbury and liar rtford are expected to be present.

POLI'S

Monday will usher in one of the greatest ludeviIle weeks in the his. tory of Bridgeport, when Jesse Lasky's latest and biggest act, "California", will appear in this city for the first time. Mir Lasky has been termed The BeIasco of Vaudeville" for his great proficiency in producing wonder full vaudeville acts It is interes ing to note that the two most famous vaudeville producers today are Jesse Lasky and B. A Rolfe. The latter is appearing at Polls this week In his musical company, 'The Rolfon- Ians'' Many years ago Messrs. Rolfe and Lasky appeared together as a musical team. Both being men of brains and marked executive ability as well as wide stage experience, they branched out as producers and met with tremendous success MT. Lasky has left the stage himself and devotes all his time to his productions and thoa trical enterprises. MT. Rolfe ap- Rolfonians'', and in addition has half a dozen other big acts on the road. Two such producers as these coming in successive weeks is a great guar antee of the quality of the vaudevil which Bridgeport is seeing at Polls wonderfully reasonable popular prices
 'tCalifornia'' is an operetta with the scene laid in the beautiful old mis- sion of San Juan. The gorgeous Cal Hornia scenery is produced with re- markable fidelity and beautiful effects. The story of the play, written by Cecil DeMiIle, author of "Strongheart' Is romantic and gripping. The music composed by Robert Hood Bowers,

composer of '"The Vanderbilt Cup, The Red Rose, and other big mu- sicaI comedy successes-is tunetul ana of an exceptionally high quality Tn the big company of 16 artists, includ- ing many metropolitan singers, are Miss Leslie Leigh, late prima donna of the New York H1pPodrome. ana ana as a vocalist and comedian in many big musical productions. All who have witnessed the production of Cal ifornia'' declare that both from art1s- tic and entertainment standpoints 1t is the greatest act ever shown in vau- devilIe. Needless to say, seats at the popular playhouse will be in tremen- dous demand throughout the entire week, and the wise ones will order early and avoid the likelihood of get ting left.
 With ''CaIifornia" on the bill are eight other great vaudeville attrac- tions, and the bill throughout is of the exceptional quality commensurate with it's great headliner.
 Wheeler Earl and Vera Curtis, two great favorites of the variety stage, will present their artistic and pleas ing skit, "The Girl and the Drummer, "a dozen minutes of smi es'. Bal ley, Hall and Burnett, three clever singers, have number of the latest song hits and novelties; Fred Duprez, one of the cleverest and most popular of monologists on the Ameri@an stage today, will present his latest and wit tiest entertainment conception; John Getger, "the man Who makes the Y-o- lin talk, will have splendid musical novelty offering; Leon Sprague and Nellie McNeese, two graceful and clever roller skaters, will show the lat est tricks in ska toriaI' art: the Elec- trograph will present a reel of the best motion pictures obtainable from the biggest produceds; and finally, Polls concert orchestra will entertain with the most pleasing of musical se- lections.
 Altogether the bill is of higher character than the average production at metropolitan houses where the scale of prices rise as high as S1. 50 and $2 and the theatres are much larger than Polls in Bridgeport. The local playhouse is just of a comfort able size, the prices are so moderate that everyone can go, and the vaude- vile is the very best obtainable re- gardless of price

''Mr. Mitchell has style that is catchy and original. The lecture abounded in wit and eloquence. He held the audience spell-bound for an hour and a half. A man that can do that in house cleaning time must have something to say and a good way of saying it.'
 This is the verdict of a critic after hearing the popular lecturer, c. C.. Mitchell, of Pawtucket, give his re- markable lecture "Job or the Wor' d s Ash Heap. MT. Mitchell will deliver this same address to the men of afternoon under the management of
 Mir. Mitchell is a speaker of remark able power and is in such demand not only in the East but the West and South, that he has to refuse all but few engagements, for his life is so busy he can only accept a few dates He is a little fellow like Napoleon, and one critic has likened him to Ma poleon be- ause of his mastery of his subject and the audience. The presi- dent of col 'ege says, 'f1e held the audience spel-bound. It has a great subject handled by a master. He ar tistically mixed the profourdest phil osophy and the most pleasant wit"
 The Wheeler &, wilson band for mu- sic and Mitchell, the ash man., for orator, make a great combination and Irresistible drawing card for this opening theatre meeting for men. There Is no more popular music in Bridgeport than this band, and thev will render a concert from until 3:2O Every man and boy over sixteen years of age is invited and welcome.

When the national democratic
convention shall meet in Baltimore,
no candidate for the presidency will
have anywhere near enough votes to
nominate him.
One hundred and forty-two dele
gates, including those from New
York, will constitute the list Of the
uninstructed. The number of con-
tested delegates is small--only six.
OF the "favorite sons" Mr.. Burke
will have ten votes on the first bal
Hot, Mr.. Baldwin fourteen, Mr.. Mar
shall thirty, and Mr.. Foss, thirty
six. Mr.. Harmon and Mr.. Under
wood are taken out of this class by
the fact that they will have support
outside their own states-Mr. Har-
mons pledged delegates at the open
ing of the convention being thirty
five and Mr.. Underwood's eighty-six
Gov. Wilson'S. supporters claim
that 3S6 delegates are pledged for
him. The opponents of Mr.. Clark
agree that the speaker has 349, a
considerably smaller number, how
ever, than is claimed by his campaign
managers.
The selection of a candidate for
the head of the ticket will be left
