decnlap, when Fannie Jasper inserts herself into the action and demands that the men be treated fairly Wal Hngford, who has never acted honestly in his life, allows his love for Fannie to convert him and he goes through with the factory in two short years, fhe action of the play covers that pertod,) he rebuilds the entire city of Battlesburg, makes the men all rich and turns honest.
 Four acts and four scenes consti- tute the piece. Twenty speaking parts are on the program and the pro duction is as large as any stock play ever presented here
 The piece is typfcally Cohanesque in that every instant of the four acts is crammed full of action.
 Six humorous characters, Wa1ling- ford's wit and Blaekie Daw's pIaiIoso- phy afford a full share of laughter and the three pretty romances and veil of love that tricklee throughout the play, give it that strain so dear to the stock lovers.
 The first act occurs in the office of the Palace Hotel, Battlesburg, act two is in Wal1ingford's office in the Bat tie building and the final act shows WaIlingford's home, where the four couple married during the action of the piece, are holding a, consolation meeting.
 Next Monday matinee will start the season of the Poh Players at the Plaza.

ton for. this bill are the Four Milf tary Maids who offer a musical novel, ty combining harmonious blending of tunefu1 music.
 An act just put together and to ap- pear here for the first three days is Aubrew Pringle and Allen in a unique talking and song fest. Pringle is well known in Bridgeport having appeared on several occasions as a member of the famous That Quartette' He has a voice of more than ordinary tone and quality and the mere fact that he has been a member of That Quartette" is sufficient to guarantee that he will make good with his new partner.
 Magic is always a welcome spot on vaudeville bill, providing there is merit attached to the act, MaximtIIfan and Martini will present a burlesque magic act which is said to be one of the most 1aughabIe entertainme1ts be- fore the public. Their tricks are also mystifying and every where they have been accorded hearty receptions.
 When Mcintyre and Heath played Bridgeport they received one of the greatest ovations of any team that has appeared here. The Lander Bros. on this bill present an act similar to these famous vaudev1llians, and that they more than make good and that they are clever can be g1eaned from Jim McIntyre's remarks when he stated at the Friars' Club in New York City that the Lander Bros. are the com ing bIackface team of America.
 As knoekabout comedy acrobats few are better known than Laypo and Benjamin, they will close the Polf bill with one of the greatest exhibitions of rough and sensational tumb1ing The photo plays will display a two reel special entitled Hearts of An Elm p1re'' and other interesting subjects and the wonderful Edison talking pie ture will please with new and re- markabIe film.

 In addition to the enormous speak ing cast, there are some two dozen supers used and many small parts not mentioned in the program. Cohan's comedy, Get Rdch Quick Wal1ingford'' is one of the most pretentious produe- tfons Of the past two years and was, without the shadow of a doubt, one of the most successful comedies, ever launched, having enjoyed a two years run on Broadway as well as a year in Chicago The story of the piece is as well known as Grimm's Fairy tales, it having enjoyed wide publicity through the various magazines in story form by George Randolph Chester.

Rufus Waling- ford, the noted financier is coming and when Wal1tngford arrives he is greeted by the prominent citizens and the town band.
 Wa1hngford and Blackie Daw have things pretty much their own way Pretty f1irtations are carried on by the two fsure thing men, but they have reckoned without their hosts for Fannie Jasper, the hotel stenographer and manicur1st, is wise to their game and threatens to expose them unless they deal square with the s'rubes' as Blac clxie insists upon calling them
 Wallineford has fallen deeply in love with Fannie Jasper and BlacIxie is un- compromising1y smitten with Dorothy Wells, the daughter of the local real estate broker
 Eddie Lamb the hotel clerk is ex- treme1y jealous and is one of the most outspoken against the two promoters.
 Worried as to what article they will manufacture, B1aclkie hits upon the scheme whereby they could patent a covered carpet tack and immediately Wallingford, who is giving a cham pagne dinner, Cand he without a dollar in the world), to the local monied men. states that he Is going to begin opera lions looking forward to the erection of an enorm ous factory for the making of covered carpet tacks.

Fox's LYRIC THEATRE
CBy tue Fox Lyric Press Agent.D


 Today promises to be one of the most eventfuI, in the history Nof the Lyric theatre, for it marks the first Saturday matinee performance since Miss Cleveland returned to. the city and her friends and admirers are young girls. They were out in force today and after the matinee Miss Cleveland with the members of her company will give a reception on the stage of the theatre. Today and tonight will also mark the last appearance of the week of Miss Cleveland and her capable company in "A Diamond in the Rough" which is the last half weeks playlet and which has made a big comedy hit. It will also be the last opportunity to see the splendid sup porting bill including the Three O'Con- nor Sisters in their melange of sing ing and dancing; Ricci Trio, a high class instrumental and vocal offering; Hardy Gibson the English comedian and Miller and Tempest in Bits of Everything with the acrobatic work of the man a, big feature. The Kline macolor pictures are especially inter esting this half week with a view of the Island of Catalina well as the fashion exhibit of beautiful gowns and wraps. The black and white pho topIays as always are a mighty pleas ing feature of the bill. The public is again reminded that the Kinemacolor pictures are sweeping the country and have replaced the old style pictures in all the leading houses. SM MT. Fox has exclusive rights to the Kinemacolor for Bridgeport and it will be inaposst- ble to see them for a term of years other than at the Lyric. For the com ing week announcement was made yesterday at the Fox office in New York that the $1O.000 Kinemacolor reel ''Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde" will be shown Monday as conclusive proof of the superiority of the Kinemacolor over all other pictures. Both in the mat ter of the p1aylet to be given by Miss Cleveland and her company Monday, and as to the rest of the bill big surprise is in store for the public with the coming of the detailed announce ment.

PARK THEATRE
(By the Park Press Agent.) )
BOSTON OPERA co.

On Tuesday evening, May 6, when noted stars of the Boston Opera Com pany come to the Park Theatre to give Bridgeport a real touch of grand opera, the program presented will be as novel a>>5 varied as cansbe imagin- ed, combining the operatic scenes, with scenery, in costume, and concert numbers which enable the individual artists to best display their vocal abil- ities. Perhaps the novelty of the first evening would be called the condensed version of t'Martha'', the ever popular grand opera by Flotow, which is the best exponent of the desirability of opera being sung in English. The second act is presented in it's entirety, consisting of the roliiclking comedy scene, where the young farmers, Plum kett and Lionel, endeavor to teach Lady Harriet and her companion, Nancy, their duties of the household The story is g rare one anf holds in terest equally with any play of light nature.
 The cast which will present Mar tha' in Bridgeport will be as notable as could be selected from operatic cir cles. Difficulties are many in finding grand opera stars who can sing effec-

With every minute of it's two de- lightful acts as refreshing and color ful as a rose garden in June, The Rose Maid werba & Luescher's most recent light opera success. comes to the Park Theatre on Monday May 5. More elaborate than it's musical sister, The Spring Maid" in it's scenic equipment, ''The Rose ATaid'' still re- tains all the daintiness and tuneful- ness of the former success and this latest offering Is said to be the most elaborate scenically of any comic op- era produced in recent years. At This is especially true in the second act of the piece which pictures the exterior of monster hotel in Ostend, Be1gfun's fashionable seashore resort In this scene the astonished audience beho1ds the great entrance and lower floors of the hostelry with the grand staircases, hanked on either side by gigantic pillars, running up to broad and gaily decorated verandas. In the rear can be discerned far reaching corridors, rich in furnishings, resem- bling the famous Peacock Alley of New York's fashionable Waldorf AS toria-
 In this scene all is life and beauty Dining at the open air tables on the lawn before the hotel are dozens of beautiful women, richly gowned in latest Parisian inportations. Pres entIy-after the 'Kute Riddles" six of the darlingest little girlies ever seen on the stage, have appeared in '-The Happy Family song and three of the principal actors have performed the almost impossible feat of waltz ing up and down the stairs of the ho- tel The assembled guests, together with cavalrynen and women in gor- geous uniforms, take part in the showy Cavalry Tournament. This scene is a riot of color and action and forms a fitting climax to the extrav- agant pace set by the producers in staging their latest success. ''The Rose Maid'' will be presented here with all the equipment that caused it to be termed the opera of fun and fashion during it's New York run.

THE EFFECTS OF
OVERPROOUCT|ON
The Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association Submits the Follow
ing Statement Relating To
SCurry County.

The Federal Census Report proves
the wisdom OF the Farmers Union In
appealing to the farmers to reduce
the cotton acreage this season and
the statistics bring out with mathe-
matical exactness the penalty Of over
production. The Federal Reports
show the United States produced
16,1O9.340 bales in 1911. which sold
for S732,42O.OOO The 1911 crop ex-
ceeded the 1910 production by A.
187887 bales and sold for $S7, 7,9OO.-
600 less.
There are 1902 acres of cultivat
ed land in Scurry county and 37,129
acres are devoted 70 the production
Of cotton. The record shows that 26
per cent Of our improved farm land
Is deyatcd TO cotton and II has been
the predominating crop ever since
the county was settled.
Scurry county produced 1920
bales of cotton In 1911. which sold
for S594,90O against 1856 bales in
1910. which sold for S534.2OS, max
ing an increase OF 1864 bales and Il
decrease In the average farm value
of S23.O9 per bale"
The above statement Is supposed
TO be correct. yet the overproduction
cited was due to Central Texas. West
Texas was exceedingly modest in
cotton growing. however this section
must bear It's proportional loss caus
ed by a bumper crop in other sec
tions
