MANS INHUMANITY

While today's matinee of Robert M.
 Sperryis daring newspaper play of police. politics and the people, Mans
 Inhumanity'' was given behind closed
 doors to a chosen few and several play readers, the performance was
 given in every respects as though the
 house was packed with enthusiastic
 theatregoers and the few who wit
 messed the performance we're not only loud in their praises but acclaimed it
 the gretatest Sperry play ever staged.
 The political punches and the police parts were well taken and those who saw the matinee claimed it taught the
 greatest moral and preached the best
 sermon of any play of the people that has been put before the theatregOin g public. Those attending today's mat inee were unanimous in placing Frank lin Ritchie at the head of all leading
 men seen in Bridgeport for some time.
 Mir. Ritchie's work Jim Austin, the fearless newspaper reporter, is simply great, he holds his audience in a Vfse- like grip from. the rise of the cur tain to it's final fall, while the cast is unQuestiona bly, the strongest that has ever put over a Sperry play. To- nights performance of Mans Inhu-
 manity'' will be opened by an address of welcome by His Honor, the Mayor, Clifford B. Wilson and address on play censoring by J. Frank Stephens,
 a profeSsio onal play reader of New York city. The Park theatre is dressed in gala attire for the 18th annual pro- auction of Made in Bridgeport" plays
 presented by the very pick of Bridge ports popular favorites. Remember
 that the Bridgeport theatregoers get
 their first glimpse of the play of the
 people Mans Inhumanity" tonight
 when a packed house is assured. To-
 night will be the greatest first night
 seen in Bridgeport for many years.
 The Lincoln Fife and Drum corps of
 fifty pieces under the direction of
 Manager Zfnk will take part tonight

 Virile, potent and chock full of "big man realisms, ''The Greyhound Paul Arrdstrong's vivid romance of the un- derworld, opens a weeks engagement at the Palzba theatre this afternoon with all the favorites among, the PoIi Players in fascinating roles.
 "The Greyhound" produced in entire ty, with a. faithful following of the plans on which the original produc- ton was built, will be the biggest and most expensive production ever offer cred in stock in this city. The four acts are replete with thrills and cIf- maxes as the '"Butterf1y on the Wheel was with truisnns and romance
 The last three acts in H.The Grey hound'' are laid on the deck of the ocean greyhound, The Maur eta,nia., and are built in exact replica, of little smaller than that famous steamship.
 Paul McA1lister by far the best act ing and most popular leading man Manager Po1i has ever presented. will have a most Iikable part this week. He will play the part of McSherry, an agent Of The Eye a famous western secret detective enterprise. Brenda Fowler will be the wife Of FaIlman the crook and Marguerite Starr will have the part of Deep Sea" Kitty, the best role she has essayed this sea- son.
 t'The Greyhound" was produced last year at the AStor theatre, New York, and ran for nine months at that house. It is new, novel and a recent success. So great is the advance sale of seats for the entire week that the man agement has been compelled to sus- pend the entire free list Regular pa irons, who order their seats by phone are requested to call for their seats as early as possible, and thus avoid disappointment.
 In addition to the regular cast, Hell en valle1y, Miss Sidney Hayes Green walt and L. H. Croeeman the local fa- vorite have been added to the cast for the week There are four acts, ten scenes. thirty speaking parts and to- day, at both shows, souvenirs will be given each lady visitor. The souvenirs will be album photos of Brenda Fowl. CT, of whom the local papers said, is the most talented leading woman ever seen in Bridgeport.
 MT. L. H. Crossrnan who played the leading role in .'~The College Hero'' was making his first professional ap- pearance in '.The Greyhound today, in a small part.
 Owing to the length of the play, the curtain will rise promptly at 215 and s:15 each afternoon and evening.

EMPIRE

The still Voice. two-part Vita graph Drama which Is shown at this theatre today. is one of the most pow erful picture plays ever shown upon the screen. It tells of the frenzied campaign of a great fnancier to ruin a man that has harmed him in his earlier life. and shows how his re- venge finally reacts against himself bringing him to asudden and dra- matic end. The character part, that of Matthew Steele, is played by that we'll known and versatile artist, Sid ney Drew, who made such a name for himself by his work in the famous play upon which this wonderful pie ture drama is based. Sidney Drew acts with notable power. The de- tails of his impersonation are strong and vivid and most effectively con- vincing. He is assisted by a. notable cast and their combined talent has produced one of the most impressive and thrilling 1ife-portrayals that has ever been shown in a motion picture theatre. A pI1otoplay that cannot fail to grip the attention of all who see it. saThe Still voice'' is a difficult subject handled in masterly man. ner.

IDA M. FARRELL SAYS
 THE STOCK MARKET IS A
 SORT OF GENTLEMEN'S CLUE

The following Is an extract from an article by Ida M. Tarbel1 about the New York Stock Exchange, published in the June American Magazine:
 ''It is a unique concern, having many of the characteristics of a gen tlemen's club. Like club 1t is en- tireIy self-governed. Like a club 1t alone decides who can be admitted to membership For forty-1ve years the membership of the Stock Exchange has been what 1t now is-1,100 Only, death, expulsion or resigna ton makes room for g. new member, and the ap- plicant has to undergo a severe scru- tiny, as well as pay a round sum for his seat In 1869 a seat cost about s1SOOO, to-day 1t costs around $50000. They have been sold as high as S95, 0O0- Not all of these 1, 100 members are ac- tive-probab1y not over 400 or 5OO-a large number are gentlemen of for tune, like the Rockefellers and the GouIds. There are perhaps 15O non resident members. The privileges which come from membership are those of buying and selling for a com mission the stocks and. bonds which the governing board permits to be list ed on the Exchange. That 1t is val uabIe privilege is obvious, when one considers the volume of business done Tn the last ten years the annual sale of stock has averaged nearly 200,- GOO GOO shares a business counting up to some S15.5OO 900, 900. To this sum must be added bond sales amounting to some $500. GOO. 0Oo.s It is far and away the biggest market for securities which exists in this country, and the prices which are made on its floor are accepted as the true value of the se- curity the world over; even the courts and comptrollers of currency recognize them as authoritative"

FAITH.

(By Cora Hartman. Written for The
 F'armer.) We plant seed into the ground And smooth the warm brown earth
 around. And leave it to the sun and rain And know we will not wait in vain. The bursting seed, sets the rootling
 free Content in the soft dark loam to be. But the shoot that springs from it's
 quiet breast It's green blade trembles with vague
 unrest. And true to the yearning of growing
 things Up through the soil to the light it
 springs. And basks in the warmth and light
 of the sun And buds and blooms till the day is
 done. The nestling bird through the summer
 long Has filled the air with its thrilling
 song. And strived and thrived and stronger
 grew Through the dim sweet nights and
 morning dew. But it dreams of a land that is 1ovelier
 still As the summer wanes and the days
 grow chill. It never has seen the dear Southland But bravely it joins the feathered
 band And flies from this cold changing
 North of ours To the other land of sun and flowers; Of ba1my airs and living green To the land it's eyes had never seen.
