 The story of Children of the Ghet- to- is especially strong, and the cli- most thrilling seen on the local stage in n1tny weeks. The mob scene in the last act is also unusually picf1r- esaue, and wins much applause by It's .0l Hannah and David is extremely en- gazing. and it's evolution holds the at tention of the audience from curtain to curtain. It is exceedingly inter esting and gives rise to number D. rather startling situations.
 The play abounds with character izations, all of which are admirably given. There is plenty of fine clean comedy to relieve the more tense sit- nations, but not enough to become tire-some. The cast is especially large, and all the parts nave been carefully who has certainly had his hands 1uli in so doing.
 All four acts of the play are finely given this portion of the produeti n their personal attention. In fact no play this season on the Lyric stage has been better staged. and that is ball scene in the second act is won derfully effective, and the Ghetto market place in the fourth act one of the most realistic street scenes the Bridgeport stage has ever seen.
 ssChiidren of the Ghetto% is an ideal holiday attraction, and the theatre will undoubtedly be crowded to the doee at each performance during the week. Tomorrow especially, afternoon and evening, seats will be at a premium. and on Friday and Saturday. there Is gather in record numbers to witness this beautiful production.
 The offering for the coming week. beginning Tuesday afternoon, ana continuing with the usual matinee and evening performances, will be Willie Golfers wonderfully successful play. s"rhe Man on the Box" This play has been one of the finest successea on the stage, and it will be IT rasnih- gently given by Miss Cleveland and her associates.
 Monday evening, there will le no performance by the Eleanor Cleveland Stock company, for tue reason that the house will be in the possession of the B. H. s. Alumni Dramatic asso- citation, for their annual production. The remainder of the week, however. will be filled as usual, and the pro- duetion that will be given The Man on the Box will rival the former big successes of the com pany.
