THE VISION OF A SHIP.

CW. R. Washington in the New Or
 leans Times-Democrat.) Here in the church above the strand Beside a summer sea Whose whisper woos a summer land, Whose spell is over me O pastor mine! what powers are these Born of his whisperings, Whereby the seer a vision sees,
 Wherefore the poet sings? What is his story pastor true?
 What is thy vision seer? Poet, thy wizard song all through Calls far sea-wonders near. The sky-g gate lifts; -pannanted, A vessel climbs the sea; And all her sails are red. b1ood-red,- = (She comes. from Calvary). Is this the ship the pastor halls? Was this thy vision, geer2 Poet, when sangest thou red sails And pennants to appear? She speeds from out the distant dark, Love-wafted, fleet and free, This wide and deep ull-f1edged bark, This swift-winged argosy. Poet, sum forth the treasure vast In linnitless array Tomorrow, poet; To! thou hast
 Nor rhyme nor words, today. Sing, poet, in the songs that scars. This vessel safely landed Among the wrecks that strew the
 shores
 Where other ships have stranded. Poet, divine me from thy thought Why is this ship here moored? Whose is the. wealth that she hath brought?
 Who shall dispense the hoard? Sing, sing the travail of the hold In fruits the angels see; Say to all men to whom unfold
 The stores of Calvary: Forth. sailors. forth. through all the
 lands,
 From soul to SoH to roam; Love gave the cargo-love demands That love shall bear it home.''

Japanese Maidens
 Are Pretty Feature Of ''The College Hero''

A beautiful stage picture will be made by the bevy of pretty girls who take the part of Japanese naidens in the great College Hero production. Given a stlken shirt of very narrow circumference, a pair of very small and very high heels, and a jingling little tum-tum tune that storms daintily through the air like a shower Of cherry blossoms, what more is need ed for a very realistic Japanese girl? Nothing apparently, for the rehearsal room is filled with echoes from the Orient during the rehearsals that have showed all social functions sternly in to the background-the rehearsaIs of ''The College Hero'' the biggest and most serious undertaking of its kind that has eyer confronted society in the Park City.
 And among the bewiIderfng groups that dance and sing their way through the quick action and stirring music of The College Hero, the girls from quaint Japan, even out of costume, are already as realistic in their parts as are the appropriated costumed Widows and aIumnae girls.
 The narrow hobbIe skirts have made the little mincing steps familiar and when a dainty Dorothy Sam and a Margaret San' and Helen Sam and a Gertrude San" trip laughing1y around the big room, with their atten- dant swains, one almost forgets that it is Mary Hartley and Leslie Dil1ing- ham and. Helen Fox and Mary Gray who are fluttering f1irty little fans and whirling butterfly parasols.
 In this group are twelve dancers from far Japan, also twelve men to match, they are: Mrs Robert W. Brown, Mrs. WV. M. Van Ness, and the Misses Ruth A Cone, Leslie Dilling- ham, Helen Fox, Mary Gray, Helen B. Grumman, Mary E. Hartley, Juniata I. Hines, Cora. Hewitt, Lillian I. Jep- son. Charlotte Langevin, Annie Laurie Nordbeck, E. Edith Youngs and liar old Andrews, Clayton D. Brill, Robert W. Brown, Clifford W. Beardsley, John Craig, w Howard Cone, Sidney Dill ingham, James o. Smith, pr. Ward M Van Ness, B. L. Worthen.
 The charity to be benefited by ''The College Hero'' is the Visiting Nurses Association, which charity is so close to the hearts of all Bridgeport that sect and creed and social clique are alike melted in the big warm crucible of love and helpfu1ness. Everybody wants to help, from the patiently smiling chaperons to the young men who have cheerfu1ly put their own amusements and occupations aside to yield absolute obedience to the call for rehearsal And if 300 girls in the big show are steadily nearing perfee- tion that savers already of strictly professional finish, the 200 men are not far behind them in adaptabiltty and conscientious attention to detail.
 ."The College Hero is. to be staged at the Park Theatre for. three. nights commencing Monday, May 18th. The box office opens next Friday morning, although subscription seats can now be had in advance by calling at the headuuarters of the committee at 4oz Security Building.

POLI's = VAUDEVILLE
(By the Pon Press Agent.)


 Fond memories of our younger days ments of our lives were vivid1y por- trayed by The Nine Crazy Kids" in a school act at Polls Theatre, yester- day. This act is the headliner for the balance of this week at the city's beautiful theatre, and a. better star act could not possibly be secured. It required thirty minutes to present this hilarious and nonsensica1 pla.ylet, but in that period they furnished more fun and amusement than many musical comedies
 The added attraction for this week is another real headline act in the nature of a comedy entitled ''The Electric Boy'' and presented by that well known comedian, Baker Flynn, and his little company of two.
 Sensa tfonalism is always an appeal ing factor to audiences Their appe- titeS were we'll appeased by Sig. and Edith Frantz in a bicycle act with tricks accomplished bordering on the. impossibility. The act finished with, the male member of the team riding a one-wheel cycle which almost reach ed into the flies of the theatre.
 As a character singer Estelle Rose carried away the honors. Taylor and Brown in a singing and dancing di- version; Ed. Gardner. a comedy jug gler; the special photo plays and the Edison Talking Picture filled out the bill.
