POLI'S THEATRE

Today will inaugurate the second week of the reorganized Washington Bridgeport players appearance at Polls Theatre when they will present the dramatization of Frances Hodg- son Rurnett's famous comedy-drama of optimism, ''The Dawn of a Ton1or- row.'' It was used as a starring vehicle by Eleanor Robson for Sev- era1 seasons and met with unusual success when produced in New York, Chicago and London Originally pro- duced by Liebler & Co.,, it became famous for its original scenic effects principally the much talked of Lon don Fog scene, one of the greatest wizards in stagecraft. The book was one of the most widely read of a decade and is undoubtedly familiar to the majority of Bridgeport thea tre goers and the fact that the play has been acclaimed 7 by critics as even superior to the book: augurs well by any stock organization in Bridge. port, this week.

 The cast will be largely augmented and thirty-hve people will appear.
 The scenic and electrical effects will be the most pretentious seen at Polls in many months and MT. Andrews the clever stage director, has been working hard for the past week to make the effects as realistic as pos sible. especially the famous London fog scene which is a very important element of the production.

Quite the most interesting feature of the opening exercises of the 18th auni- versary celebration of the First Bap- tist church which began yesterday was the historical address by Rev John R.

MASONIC EMBLEM
 TATTOOED ON ARM IDENTIFIES SEAMAN

Positive Identification of the body of a sailor found floating upon. the waters of the lower harbor has been made by a fellow seaman as that of Peter Pearson, aged 43, with proba- ble residence in Halifax or Liverpool.
 Pearson was employed upon the coal barge Jessie which reached this port Sept 20 in tow of tug Abraham P. Skidmore," Capt. F. W. Hancart in command. He was re- ported missing on the night of Sept. as, and although a good swimmer it is thought fall or accident on board the barge may be accountable for his drowning.
 A Masonic emblem tattooed upon his right arm secured private burial and subsequent investigation by queer coincidence led to the discovery in Bridgeport, of 8 seaman, John Fran cis Lynch, Liverpool, who had ta. tooed the emblem upon Pearson's arm while upon the steamer '.Merrado" sailing from Yieth, Scotland. Lynch completed the identification by re- ferring to the broken left leg of Pear son which he remembered as being caused by a steam-wrench the steamer '.A1duraP' when anchored in the bay of Biscay.
 A further search is being made by members of the Masonic fraternity in the papers of locating the victim family.

Hemmet to take motion pie lures of his trip with the main pur- pose of convincing his friends when he returned that he told no fish stor- ies. The pictures were shown to party of his friends upon his return to Cleveland, and it was at that first exhibition that the remarkable com
 m nercial possibilities of the hunt films presented themselves. 4 company was formed and the hunt pictures launched with such a success that the oldest theatrical men were astounded

 The wide girdle is placed rather high and closed under a buckle, cov- cred with the material. Across the front is a suggestion of sash, for which black mesa1ine ribbon was used. The ornament on the end of the ribbon is of steel, as are the but. tons used as trimming.

Letter to Douglas 8 Werner,
 Bridgeport, Ct.

BrfdgepOrt, Ct. Dear Sirs: You are to paint Mr. -'s house for $- we won't tell your private affairs-no matter what figure. it's fair price.
 What painful you use?
 We're thinking of one, all paint and as strong as paint can be; it'll take about 15 gallons, $75 for paint and painting.
 Another, half paint: it'll take about 30 gallons of that, $150 for paint and painting.
 The least gallons paint, of course, will wear a long time; the other is good while 1t lasts. Least gallons, least cost, best job.
 It isn't every trade that lets a man do cheap job and make money and friends like that.
