ENTERTA TAINMENTS THEATRICAL GOSSIP
THE PLAZA
(Bx the Plaza Press Agent.l

''The Wheel of Death is proving one of the strongest attractions of the present Plaza Theatre vaudeville sea yesterday. But outside of the big sensation, the bill is composed Of five other acts, each one bearing the stamp of approval.
 f'The Wheel of Death has all other daredevil and sensational acts beat a mile, for skill and daring. Hobson and KingseIy in a farcica1 sketch en- titled "A Business Proposal, is one of the biggest laughing acts seen in Bridgeport in some time. They just convulse the large audiences from the very start of their offering. Duke Darling, fNThe Man With the Green Gloves, certainly knows how to tell funny stories and his parodies are new and bright. Warr and Delmore fur nished fifteen minutes of amusement with a skit involving a trunk porter and an actor at rehearsal in a thea tre. The lines they introduce are ex- ceedingly funny. Waldo, contor- tionist, and Harry Tenn Dalton in q The daylight photo plays are extra ordinary the first three days. Put Yourself in Their Place, a Vitagraph; :; ""The New York Fire Department Drill'', also Vitagraph; "A Bottle of Musk, an Essenay drama; '~The Fer rets'', a SeIig drama; and "Aunties Affinities', Lubin comedy, are the titles.

 Suddenly one day during the cam paign the Hon. William J. Strickland returned from St. Louis. An expres- sion of acute worriment so contrary to it's customary cheerfulness rested on his face that Colonel Todhunter, en- tering the candidates Nineveh law of flee, could not but remark the change.
