NOT MARRIED, MRS
 PHlPPS DECLARES
Rumor Might Cost Steel Mans Divorced Wife Her In-
 come on $5OO,OOO


 Boston, July 22-Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, formerly the wife of Lawrence c. Phipps, the steel man of Pittsburgh and Denver, and a fel- low voyager on a ship that arrived here from Hamburg yesterday, Ed ward B. D. Powell, of Denver, have appealed to the press to deny a re- port that the two had been married.
 Speaking for both, MT. Powell ex- plained that he met Mrs. Phipps at house party in London on his return from a visit to South Africa. Learn. ing that she was to sail for the Uni ted States on the same steamer upon which he had planned to go he vol unteered to make her stateroom res- ervation for her. He did this, but as both were late in booking passage their names did not appear on the passenger list Naturally, they were together more or less on the way over, which gave rise to the report that they had been married Arriving in Boston, MT. Powell looked after his companion's baggage, and it so hap pened that they stopped at the same hotel It was just a happening.
 At the time of her divorce 1t is said that $750,0OO was settled upon Mrs. Phfpps. with the provision that she was to lose the income of $500,O00 of the amount should she marry again. Which, of course, accounts for Mrs. Phfpps' explanation

The management of this theatre, evert alert to secure for it's patrons the best that can be procured in mo ton pictures, have engaged for today only the Poem Graph Co. in the very latest novelty in motion pictures, The Face on the Barroom Floor. This novelty has been meeting with the greatest success wherever exhibited and has been drawing crowded houses. Only one day could be booked unless the management was willing to wait nearly a month. but preferring to bring to their Bridgeport patrons the new novelties, while they are new, the only open day. today, was booked. The reguIar features for Tuesdays, the latest Pathe Weekly, will also be shown. The scenes shown are parti- cularly interesting. The best in pie lures is the motto of this house and every effort is made to live up to the motto. A feature picture is shown ev- cry day and some days two are shown, this being the case today. The tenn perature is always nice and cool, the building being entirely of cement, the projection is fault1ess, which combin- ed with an absolutely fire proof build ing makes this theatre an ideal amuse- ment resort, and that it is appreciat- ed by the picture fans is evidenced by the constantly increasing patron age.

ATTRACTIONS 1.-THE THEATRES
'lThe Boss" Al The Plaza Is Hif With
 The First Nighters

That stirring political play, 'sThe Boss which created a sensation in New York, is being presented by the Poli Players at the Plaza theatre, this week. This piece is from the pen of Edward Sheldon, author of Salvation Nell" which Mrs. Fiske produced with such great success. It is strong, al- most brutal at times. but 1t has what p1aywrights call, the punch, and it re- tains the interest of the audience un- til the final curtain. The PoH play CTS gave 1t a fine performance last evening and the house manifested ap- proVa1 in no uncertain terms.
 The Boss'' tells the story of a powerful politician. Michael Began, generally supposed to be tFingy'' Connors of Buffalo. He is anxious to control the contracts for handling grain in Buffalo and in line with this policy he gradually crushes his rival, James Griswold He is ready to strike the blow when he learns that the business failure of Griswo1d will mean the failure of a bank where Griswold has obtained loans.
 Began agrees to let his rival es- cape destruction on one condition, that he be allowed to marry Gris- wold's daughter, Emily. The girl Is interested in social settlement work and knows what the bank failure would mean to the elum dwelIers whose small savings are deposited there. So she promises to become Re ganis wife if he will give her father half the grain contracts.
 Miss Grfswold's brother, however, has been steadfast1y opposed to his sisters marriage to Began and he tries to injure Regan's business by getting his laborers to strike. In these situations the fighting powers oe Began are brought into full play. Cursing and snarling, he fights with his back against the wall and only the refining influence of his wife fin ally brings about his redemption. It Is stirring story
 Paul McAIHster outdoes himself as Michael Began. He portrays the boss just as the popular idea pictures him. Coarse and brutal one minute and the next as tender as a. woman. He knocks down a union delegate and then when he hears the man has a sick wife, stuffs money into the vic tim'e pocket The leading man was frequently applauded last night.
 Brenda. Fowler, the handsome lead ing lady, makes a charming picture as Emily Grigwold and does some splendid acting as the girl who is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her family. Ralph J. Herbert is forceful in the role of Donald Gris- hvcld who leads the flight against Began. Ted Gibson, the new juvenile. is a hit as Lawrence Duncan and the old favorfte, Wilson Humnel, wins favor as Davis, secretary to Began
 Arthur Griffin is. immense as Proky Mccoy. al ward hee1er. Arthur Bu- chanan gives a dignified characteri- zation of Archbishop Sullivan Bene- dict McQuarrie scores heavily as James GriswoId and Marguerite Starr pIeases in the part of Mrs. Cuyler.
 s'The Boes'' will surely be greeted by crowded houses the remainder of the week.

POLES THEATER

Six vaudeville acts. each one of class A cahbre and latest first run photo plays were presented at Polfs theatre yesterday. Edmund Stanley & Go. in a tabloid grand operatic offering was the big hit of the bill, ten cur tain calls were responded to after the finish of this classy offering. "A Roy al Romance'' is the title of the act.
 The Four Harmony Boys was an- other act that went very big with the audience. They present a little minstrel diversion with two end men and two men working straight. They blend their voices in perfect har- -mcny.
 The great Johnston lived up to his name. He presents act that is entirely different from anything seen here, the way he twists his body in different positions is really to be won dered at.
 !. The Williams Bros, stylish steppers, executed hard show dancing, Dualano played a piano accordeon. rendering classical and popular airs and Ar thur Morris pleased with original mon ologue. A two real special Vitagraph film entitled 'eThe Diamond Mystery '' was interesting and appealing. Other films were also shown.
