His adventures there, and the out come of his fortune-hunting expedi- tfop furnish the material of the play which, by the way, comes from the pen of Winchell Smith, one of Amer ica's most brilliant playwrights.
 The fortune hunters plans are very much upset by marrying Dan Cupid and the girl that he weds hasn't any fortune but-that's telling the story. The play abounds with the real com edy, which everyone delights in see. ing; it is brimful of heart interest and teaches a sensible moral. It is a play which will delight old and young and both sexes. As given by the Poll Players it is bound to be the success of the season and will take Bridgeport by storm.
 As usual, a number of special mati- nees are planned for the coming week.

STOCK EXCHANGE
 TO BE CHILLED

New York, June 8-It was forecast ed today that evidence concerning the New York Stock Exchange will be sought when, the Pujo Congressional Money Trust quiz is resumed Tues day.
 It was freely predicted that the dis closures promised to be even more startling than the story of how the clearing house association dominated the banking institutions of New York. deriving 50 millions annual revenue and forced the Oriental and three Oth- CT banks to the wall in 1907.
 Samuel Untermyer, who is conduct ing the investigation for the commit tee, today said that the clearing. house had been obnoxious to the banks for many years but that nothing had ever been done to bring the facts to light. He added that developments more startling than anything yet brought out would be heard next week.
