Fox's LYRIC THEATRE

It will surely come as pleasing news to the thousands of admirers and friends of the former Lyric stock comapny to know that MT Fox is bringing to Bridgeport at his Lyric theatre the coming week for head line act and the feature act Of the All Star Carnival Week, no less a favorite trio than Clifford Bruce. for mer leading man Of the Lyric stock, Edward Nannery the excellent char acter man of the company for so many months and pretty Marie Gray Der the talented ingenue The capa- bilities of these three clever people were brought to the attention of MT
 Fox and it was his idea that if they had the proper vehicle for the ex- pIoitation of their talents the trio would make a, splendid addition to vaudeville. The proposition appealed to the artists and MT. Fox selected the coming week. Carnival Week, for the premier of the act following it's three day break in one of Mr. Fox's New York theatres where it was sp1endidIy enjoyed. They will appear for the entire week but as it is MT
 Fox never departed from policy to change his bill twice weekly in it's en- tirety they will present two acts the first half of the week playing '.The Turn of a Card' written by Mr.
 Bruce and with some of the most stir ring moments that any p1ay1et in vaudeville can develop and changing

BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD

That general business continues well sustained is still porved by Clearing House returns, which last week showed an increase of more than 8 per cent over last year. There has been no slackening of conse- quence in the steel trade, the pro duction of pig iron continuing at 8 record-breaking rate. Tn spots there has been a slightly lessened demand and consequent weakness. but the steel trade as a whole is satisfactory. The same is true of the textile in dustry Tariff uncertainties have considerably hampered this line of trade, but coming revision appears to have been pretty well discounted. The head of one of our largest distribut- ing concerns states that after another six months of adjustment profits will be free from unusual curtailment and net results will be proport1onate to sales. One of our largest manufac- turers, most vitally affected by tariff changes, announces that he is prepared for any contingencies, and that his mills are entirely sold up for months to come at present prices. It may be taken for granted, therefore, that the worst effects of a reduction in the tariff have already been fore stalled, and in any event the injuries will be a mere trifle compared with the great mass of industry ir the United States.

THREE DIYORCES GRANTED

In the Superior court yesterday af- ternoon Elizabeth A. Beers of fnfs city was granted a divorce from Jaunes A. Beers of this city. IntoIerabIe cruelty was the ground. Mira. Beers claimed her husband met her on Main street one day, struck her in the face and knocked out a tooth. On auott- CT occasion Beers used a horsewhfD on his wife. The couple were married in 1890.
 Mary Weissman of Stamford was given a decree from Benjamin Wefss- man of Stamford. The wife festides that her husband was very 5ealou8 and when intoxicated frequently beat her. The couple were married Nov 8, 1910. Mrs. Weissman's maiden name was Mary Rotafnsky.

PARK THEATRE

sThe Girls of the Gay White Way a new musical comedy by Don Roth lyrics by Willard Vale. and music by Leo Edwards, is presented for the last time at Park theatre. In it's personnel this company is one of the best, if not the best playing the burIesque houses. It includes in it's cast James Rowland, Harry D. Ward, Sam Hearn, Ed Jerome, Ben Ryan, Heneln N. Ely, Gertie Demflit, Hattie Raymond, Alma Fern, Maude Heath, Rarriet Lee and thirty others.
 Sam Sidman, who heads the notable cast of the Harry Hastings Big Show soon to present ''The Girl of Many Husbands'' at the Park theatre, is ac- credited with being the highest saIaried German comedian in bur lesque. He is probably the most eminent fun maker in this branch of the profession since the graduation Weber & Fields into the wider field of musical comedy.

Thursday for the balance of the week to ''JimS Claim a story of the min ing district and typically western in theme and treatment. MT. Bruce it few recognized Broadway actors to assay stock and later vaudeville as he is now doing. During his several weeks stay in Bridgeport at the head of the Lyric Stock company he was decided success in every way and made hosts of friends. Edward Nan nery who appears with MT. Bruce need hardly be exploited to Bridge port people for it is very doub tful if any actor who played stock in this city made and held so many friends as MT. Nannery. Then too dainty and pretty Marie Grayber has her own following and all things combin- ed it should be most seventfu1 week for Bridgeport theatregoers. MT. Fox does not propose to have the star act completely shadow the rest of the bill so he has engaged an all star bill in support among others Pierson Lyons and company in a sparkling singing and talking bit with one of the trio working along the lines of Harry Fox; Ali Ripon the Scotch yentriloquist and a marvel in the matter of voice manipulation; Stewart and Peabody, two of the cleverest male entertainn- CTS in vaudeville; Maude Alexander who has been styled the "MeFba of Vaudevil1e'' a beautiful woman of statuesque type and with a voice that is surely golden and Binm Bomm Birr musical novelty that has been featured in the principal Keith houses and is a big hit in the Fox houses. Special attention will be paid to the photo plays and they will be the best first runs in keeping with the spirit of Carnival week and in the final analysis Fox's Lyric is going to be a most attractive place to visit the coming week.

RIVAL EXECUTIVES
IGNORE EACH OTHER
Governor Sulzer and Acting Governor
Glynn Remain on Duty at Albany
Capitol.

ALBANY, y. Y, Aug. 2l-True TO
the promise of Acting Governor Glynn,
there were no political earthquakes
at the capitol todav. An atmosphere OF
placidity pervaded both suites of ex-
ecutive chambers.
Governor Sul2er remained in the Sc
C4USion of his private office, and his
only official act was to take hand in
the Thaw deportation matter by re.
questing the assistance of the federal
authorities.
Mr.. Glynn spent considerable time
over the same matter, He also hon,
ored TWO acquisitions for fugitives from
Justice from the governor Of Georgia
anu .ne governor of Massac husetts,
The expectation that sharp skirmish
would be precipitated by roquisition
by the acting governor for the services
of some of the members of the guber-
material clerical staff. now quartered
in Governor Sulzer's apartments, failed
to materialize. Mr.. Glynn announced
that for the present he is being served
efficaciously by the members or mis-
staff, who assisted him AS lieutenant
governor, and reaffirmed his determine
ton to avoid all unnecessary friction.

sage to Mr.. BRYAN were turned over to
