The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-02-05

There seems to be arranged no ac- companying growing contest, al- though there must be somewhere dawn raising chandeliers who take q just pride in the work that is being done. Perhaps the promoters have cut out the growing because the num- Der of the roosters is too few to Go such great things justice.
 Since the labor of the barnyard got itself divided into the departments of government and egg production it has been discovered that government is a mere detail, and the population of roosters has been steadily reduced to meet the demand for broilers.
 Fortunately there are no suffra- gettes in the barnyard, and hence no danger of a revolution in which the warlike but unnumerous chandeliers might be overwhelmed by mere force of numbers. and a death wound giv- en to the doctrine that government and spurs are inseparably associated. Not that we care much about the fowls, but the infamous news might get abroad, into the world of men, and create a scandal.

THE WANING GLORY OF CHANTECLER

This is a day of international ef- fort There are international socte- ties of many kinds, international poll teal parties and international what not. President Taft even demands an International commission to look into the high cost of living. But the greatest international event, and per haps the most useful, in the worlds gigantic whirl is now tn progress at Storrs, where the hens of all nations are emulating each other, in a strug- gle to solve MT. Taft's problem, by laying as many and -as~ big eggs as possible.

THE HARD DAYS OF THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA"

fifty, is producing plays that are little inferior to the average play at three times the latter price. Only comic opera, musical comedy and opera bouffe. three branches of the same tree, stand out brilliantly as involving enough extra payroll and enough ex- tra investment to be worth the high CT charge. But vaudeville and must- cal comedy are closely allied in their appeal to the minds of ordinary peo- pie. The choice will frequently be for vaudeville at fifty cents, over a large chorus and some comedy at $2.
 The great democratic people, who form the backbone of all purchasing power, have, in short, about conclud- ed that in the present stage of the dramatic art vaudeville and stock at the price are more desirable than nine-tenths of the costlier drama We confess a modest admiration for their judgment. Here in Bridgeport one house is playing stock at ten, twenty and thirty. to liberal patronage. The ubiquitous Poli offers vaudeville and fills the house. Let really first class production came to Bridgeport,say Miss Adams in Chan tecIer,'' or any of five or ten "best shows of the season. and Bridgeport will fill the house. But for the run of the shows there will be only scanty patronage. From which we draw the conclusion that there are only linn

QUEEN MARY's TASTE

Queen Mary is before all else a per feet wife and mother. But it strikes one that perhaps too much stress has been laid on her domesticity. At least scant mention seems to be made of many of her other characteristics.
 The Queens education was wide and deep and her fund of general inforlua- ton is remarkable. She has always been a great reader and books of trav- el, history and biography are seldom missed. In fact few ladies have bet ter knowledge of English literature. Then, like most royalties, the Queen is a first rate ltnguist and speaks and writes several languages with ease and fiuency.
 Queen Mary in her early days rode we'll, and Princess Mary inherits this taste and has become a fine horse woman. But her majesty never went with the hounds and is now seldom seen on horseba ok. Nor does she shoot, fish or play golf or tennis like several of her royal relations. And yachting for yachting's sake is by no means among the Queens favorite amusementS.
 In fact she cares little for the more daring sports and games, but will sometimes p ay croquet and often goes for long walks with her children and a lady in attendance. And she dances extremely well and with evident en- jeyment.-The Queen.

Unique Centennial
New Haven Young Man to Be Ordained at Remarka- ble Salem Ceremony.

New Haven, Feb. 5-william Rock we'll Leete, son of Rev. Dr. w. w. Leete, pastor of the Dwight Place church, of this city, is to be one of five young men who will be ordained to the ministry tomorrow at the Tab ernacle Church in Salem, Mass, at an interesting historical ceremony to be held there in commemoration of the ordination 100 years ago of the first American foreign missionaries
 MT. Leete graduated from Yale in 1908 and since that time has been studying at the Union Theo' ogicaI Seminary in New York. Owing to the fact that MT. Leete came from this city, the Dwight Place church was one of the few churches in the coun- try to be invited to take part in the ceremony. The local church will be represented by it's pastor, Rev. Dr. Leete, and by Clarence Blakeslee, who was elected as a delegate.
 The first missionaries that ever left this country for fore gn fields were ordained in this very same church, on February 6, 1872. The names of these five pioneers were JGdson, Newell, Hal, Mott and Rice
 The purpose of the ceremony to be held this year is to commemorate tFis notable event by ordaining in the same place and under the same ap- pointment, that of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions, five young men who are des- tined for the same work that the orig inaI five set out on as pioneers
 The four young men who will be ordained with MT. Leete are Samuel

ONE ON BROWN

Brown is a travelling man. He has a little 3 year old who has just learn ed to say her prayers. Every Sunday Brown gets home for a few hours, but this is about all the time he has with his family.
 Consequently, the little girl is not as we'll acquainted, perhaps, as she might be with his relation to the fam fly although she thinks him very nice because of the candy and presents he brings to her.
 Mrs Brown in teaching the child it's prayers, of course. taught her to ask a blessing for papa along with mama and ''graudma'' and grand pa'' and the other persons the child knows well. She was much surprised the other night when the child, at the end of Now I lay me" recited the remainder of the prayer like this:
 God bless papa. mama, grandma, Willie and that man who comes to see mama every Sunday and brings me such nice things. gs.''-Philadelphia Times

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-02-05

New Haven and Bridgeport are alike in this, that neither the first nor the second city in Connecticut has T theatre devoted to the legitimate drama Vaudeville and moving pie lures, or moving pictures without vaudeville, occupy every theatre in the ancient university town, just as they occupy every theatre in this most modern of industrial cities. The JournaI-Courier depIores this situa- ton. So do we.
 What are the reasons for it?
 Do New Haven and Bridgeport pay a certain penalty because of their proximity to New York, so that those to whom s2 for a seat is not too much see the show there instead of at home? Perhaps so.
 Are the people nauseated because the drama has ceased to be Iegitf- mate, and has become a mingling of vaudeville and eroticism tinctured with frivolous music, abandoned dances and abounding legs?
 The commercialization of the stage undoubtedly plays it's part. There is the automobile. That plays part. Hundreds of well to do families who formerly patronized the theatre 1ib- orally now make the rubber tired steed almost their sole amusement If it comes to a choice between a quart of oil and 25 gallons of gaso- line on one side and legitimate dram a at high prices on the other side, gasoline gets the money.
 We are sure that the high cost of living plays its part in the change, plus the knowledge that goods almost as good can be had for less money. That is to say. stock at ten cents to
