!. THE CONCERT"
Belasco's Drama Finely Gfven--FFor
 mer Bridgeport Girl in Cast.

Miss Isabelle Irving's entrance on the stage at the Park theatre in The with the usual greeting of local audi ences for this former Bridgeport young woman. However, 1t must be said that, az her work manifested IL the artist as well as the person. Miss Irving and Leo Ditrfchstefn appear ed to work together .advantageously- sic master of his i'm pressionable pupils was fully to the task. The play was .quadrangular treatment of the triangular difficulty that interposed itself. The artistic temperament of the music master quite overcame his feminine admirers. from his much abused secretary,I who by @ the way face and figure disgusting an over whelming sentinletnality. to the charming Little Butterfly" pupil. Mrs. Dalton. The 1atter's irresponsi- biIity was effectively enhanced by the acting of her husband, the physically big, strong-minded doctor. He and Miss Irving also were effective in their little play within the play. The pi- quancy of the petite cf1armer and the nervous disposition of the Professor proved rather incongruous for any, and, in fact, visions of "incompati- bility" were looming in the back ground when the respective husband and wife who had become accustomed
 
 fall violently in love. Over a. game of chess the Professors wife comes back into her own, and the remaining characters have nothing else left than to kiss and make up. They elope. or at least run away to find their own roof tree, leaving the poor distracted Professor with his real sweetheart whom he had almost forgotten for the moment. They are a picture of domestic bliss as the wife gets out the accessories for touching up the wonderful curly locks that have con- quered so many hearts.
 Aside from his acting Leo iDitrich- stein is musician. He quite capti- vated the audience with the moments when he idled with the piano keys. Miss Irving was, as she always is, charming in the true sense of the word. Last night she seemed to sug- gest Grace George, perhaps not in ap- pearance, but it may have been some thing in the lines. Miss Irving has an established reputation in the thea trical world, and all Bridgeporters are keenly interested in her many suc- cessful roles. It would be only fair to say that there are many in the profession who would be compliment ed to feel that they showed an i1n- pression of the art of Isabelle Irving.

Brightness personified is little John ny Pale. Certain friends of the family consider him rather precocious-but that's quite another story. At any rate he is the pride of his fathers heart, and Pale, ST., invariably refers to the youngSter as regular chip of the old block.''
 The other night little Johnny looked up from his stool by the dreside and calculated the query:
 I'm a chip from the old block, ain't I father ?''
 "Yes. my son, indeed you are,'' came the proud reply.
 And you, pa, you're the head of the family. ain't you,'' asked the simple little lad.
