In the vicinity of 32d and p streets. in

MARIE


Mr. Charlie Freyer arrived from
Cuba a few days ago feeling like a
new man and, after bidding count
less ''how-d 'ye-does' and shaking
hands all the way from the
train to the Freyer Building, he
deposited his tropical mementoes
there and iourneyed out Cherokee
street to see his mother. The next
day, bright and early, he came into
our sanctum to give us some Cuban
dailies and illustrated periodicals for
our eXhange table and to tell us how
much he had enjoyed his Marietta
Journal during his sojourn in Cuba.
AS soon as we could find time, his
visit was returned, but instead of en-
thusiastic Charlie Freyer, we found
that most genial of chronic grum-
blers complaining that the "prodigal
son" had come in and taken the
tools out of his hands to put some
panes into a window at home.
And this is the man who, a year
ago, did not expect to ever tread the
marble sidewalks of Marietta again.
Cuban sunshine, tropical fruits, fresh
fish, interesting, diverting and en-
chanting scenes in the land of Ma
mana have renewed his youth and he
is bubbling over with joy. Among
his trophies is the skin of a monster
rattlesnake. But the things most
worth seeing are the pictures in his
album. These include scenes of va
rious kinds, beautiful girls, big fish,
luxuriant flowers, phases of Spanish
life and the Cuban method of allow
ing infants to imbibe goats milk ex-
actly as kids do. This saves endless
work and care in the way of steril-
izing milk and nursing bottles, but
is rather shocking to unaccustomed
eyes.
Mr.. Freyer thinks Cuba is the place
to fish and hunt, climb mountains,
enjoy siestas and breathe the breath
of health in the sea breezes that
come to temper the tropic sunshine.

country is kept in pretty steady use
and when any sudden call for more
comes along there is no place at
which it can be gotten except
under the Vreeland act. In some
countries banks are allowed to meet
such a condition by issuing their
own notes, but that is prohibited in
this country. Our people favor mon
ey issued by the Government, which
the Government will redeem in gold.

The country ought to be set free
from domination by certain big
banks in New York and it has been
set free by the election of Woodrow
Wilson. Whatever legislation is en-
acted will be with complete disre-
gard of the wishes of those banks.
But it would be a mistake to ignore
the advice of the bankers of the coun-
try generally. 1t is a fact that the
banks are in the hands of men of the
very highest type of citizenship. They
are broad and patriotic and are the
custodians of a very large part of
the wealth of the people. If we are
to pass law to assist them in hand
ling the commerce of the country
they are certainly in position to
point out any defects that export
enced persons might put in a bill.
They are particularly interested when
it is proposed to compel them to take
part of their funds and invest them
in new financial institutions over
which they will have only partial
control
4
The Glass-Owen bill would be all
right, however, if it were acceptable
to the bankers generally but they
have pointed out difficulties which
at first did not appear, and the
amendment of the bill in the Senate
is d IOIeSOH6 conclusion.

sires it.

Fox's LYRIC THEATRE

Fox's Lyric Theatre opened Mon
day night under the most auspicious
circumstances, capacity house, all the
leading city officials present, a former
mayor as master of ceremonies and
the present mayor to welcome the
new enterprise and from the time the
opening overture was played its sue
cess was assured. AT the Tuesday
performances there was not an avail
able seat in the theatre and the same
rule will hold good, from present in
dications. so long as William Fox will
provide an equal calibre of entertain
ment. Making good is William
F'ox's middle name. Over anxiety to
please on the part of the artists on
the bill the orchestra. the house en-
ployes and all interested might have
caused a slight roughness on Monday
night but that has all disappeared and
everything is running like clockwork
now. There are six big acts of premier
vaudeville headed by Hugh Herbert
and company in 'sThe Son of Solo
mon,'' one of the best playlets ever
presented in vaudeville. Grace De
Mar one of the most Fascinating and
artistic singing condolences Bridge
port has ever been privileged to see.
Grace said after the opening recep-
ton she was happy to stay as she
liked bridgeport and she stayed. The
thrill on the bill is furnished by the
Leach Quinlan Trio, one of the most
daring wire acts ever seen. Dainty.
refined and artistic in every way is the
Offering of the Two Singing Girls. The
act that tops the bill for vocal class
is that of Rhode & Champion, a nov
city, Between the Reels a connect
ed and logical story with the brilliant
feature of it the repertoire of operate
airs rendered by the duo. It is Of a
class that serves much to- uplift
vaudeville. The sixth act of the
splendid. bill is that Of Crunbly and
with splendid singing voices and q
films direct from the Fox film ex-
change include 1.-The Teacher at
Rockville His Date With Gwendo-
1ine,'' Teaching Hicksvtl1e to Sing -
1.-The Lesson 'tO'Hara Helps Cupid, -
'sBroncho Billy" Not alone are they
first run films but the expensive pro-
jecting machines and the skill of the
electricians have combined to make a
picture on the screen which the Fox
management guarantees to be super
Tor to any other shown in this city.
To avoid any confusion as to seats it
might again be mentioned that seats
| were reserved only for Monday night.
From now on there are no seats re-
other details appear in the advertise
ment. Thursday following the usual
rule the entire bill, vaudeville and
photo plays change. There was no
vaudeville matinee today at the Lyric
owing to the fact that the house is
under lease to the Wednesday After
noon Musical Club. Two shows will
be given tonight and regular daily
matinees In the future.
