POLLS

Ned Wayburn's ballet of dancing
English beauties is making a great hit
at Polls this week and the big crowds
which continue to throng to the pop
ular playhouse are the best evidence
of the splendid character Of the bill.
The Pony Ballet which headlines the
bill this week is the original pony bal
let which make such a sensation in
this country on it's first appearance
here, coming over from England. The
sensation, was due to two factors
the beauty and charms of the individ-
ual members of the ballet, and the
grace and skill of their dancing. In
the present case Ned Wayburn, who is
one of the foremost stagers of dancing
acts in the country, has added anothe~
feature to the ballet by dev'sing for
them a number of especially attractive
AMI novel canoes ana special features.
This act is a winner from beginning to
end and is full of applause bringing
features
Gladys Clark and Henry BERGMAN
STU continue TO be the popular favor
ties of {. bill of winning vaudeville at
fractions. At every performance this
popular couple receives a whirlWind
of applause and the two are forced to
appear and reappea~ and respond to
encore after encore until their roper
toire is exhausted. This enthusiasm
IS invoked by the fact that Clark and
Bergman are two real vaudeville ar
fists: everything in their act is done
right and there isn't pair on the
stage who can sing the popular songs
more catchily. Then Miss Clark is an
exceptionally pretty girl and both are
gifted with splendid voices
Another Of the big feature acts of the
week is the Five Pirscof's, the won
derful European juggling family in
their WhIrlWind representation of the
very last word in the line of spectacu-
lar Juggling stunts. Apparently no
feat is too difficult for these brilliant
J opponents of this form Of theatrical
diversion and some excellent comedy
is blended throughout the act.
Other Of the big attractions which
firm a rart Of the bill this week are
Leo GARLIC dialect coniedian and mon
oln!lst, who has an endless line of
n, igot fun cleverlv done: Callahan &
ST. George. "the MS tUral Irishman and
the lady harpst.'' in a clever little

| 'ections' Lester & Kellert in refin-
ed singing and dancing offerings: the
i Two Azards, marvellous strong men
with a wonderful acrobatic Offering;
Polls Electrograph, with the very lat
est and biggest production from the
most successful of motion picture pro-
ducers. and finally, Polls Concert Or
chestra, the best in the city, with
popular selections of the day.
Here is an all-around bill that can't
be beaten, the best vaudeville in
Bridgeport and all at exceptionally low
popular prices, order your seats early
and get in line for some good enjoy
ment. y

A Lincoln woman writes: 81 may
be old-fashioned, but think it is
rude not to call after accepting an
invitation to dinner. If You do rot
accept the invita- ton the matter might
be REGARDED differently, but to accept
a friends hospitality to a function of
that nature and then go away and
apparently forget it altogether shows
an inexcusable lack of apprecia ton. -
In reference to the same matter an
other lady tells of her experience a
year Or so ago in giving dinners. ''And
not one of those people who failed to
my house again. said she. AS invi-
tations from this lady have been
among those most highly priced, and
as other hostesses in Lincoln may en-

no after-dinner calls.-LincOln, Nebras-

Hartford, March 14-It is believed
by some that the 40 shares of Phoe-
nix Fire Insurance company stock
transferred by A. w. Converse, treas
urer of the Windsor Locks Savings
bank, to Miss Carrie Jordan, of Dor
chester, Mass, is but a small part of
the money or securities that he gave
her. The value of this stock is some
thing ever $4,000. Tt is believed
that she holds much larger amount
curities. Mr.. Converse gave his
daughters $4,000 and it is believed
that he gave Miss Jordan the rest of
the Windsor Locks bank loot, some
thing like 100000. He is known
never to have gambled or speculated
and to Miss Jordan, those well in
formed say, all the money went.
An Injunction has been served on
her preventing her from disposing of
