Senator Hart Would Provide Way to
Allow Children to Help In Harvest.

Senator Hart Would Provide Way tc
Il Allow Children to Help In Harvest.
| BOISE. Jan. "a Senator Hart OF
Fremont county proposes to amend the
school laws Of the state in such way
az to enable boys and girls to take
an active part in the digging Of sugar
beots and potatoes and the picking Of
apples every fall. He has introduced
a bill which reads as follows;
Trustees of all school districts in
Idaho. may IL they determine such
course % be for the best interest Of
the pupils in their district. provide. or
der and direct that school herein may
when such order is made and school so
conducted. this fact may be taken into
consideration in computing the mini
mum time such schools must be con-
Quoted under existing laws, and pro
portionate reduction made therein"
Explaining the intent Of the bill
Senator Hart says that under the law
as It stands at present all boys and |
girls OF school age are required to at
tend at least seven months Of each |
year This keeps many large. able
bodied boys in school at time in the
fall when their services are badly
needed on the farm especially in those
where much fruit. sugar beets
ana potatoes are produced.
The Senator thinks It would be no }
hardship on pupils to give them six {
lays schooling In the week instead os I
five. especially as the actual school day t
IS but six hours. This would give them 1
ln opportunity to get fully as much t
in the course Of the year t
IND yet enable them to render service $

heir services ar badly needed He +

With five exceptionally attractive, appealing and uniquely artistic acts, three rolls of specially clear and we'll projected flns-which one might aI- most imagine introduced the famous detective, William J. Burns, in per- Son-and the regular complement of photo-rays to round out the well-bal- anced bill, the Plaza playhouse pre- sents final semi-weekly bill which will draw good audiences and gratify it's patrons.
 Under the direction of Jesse I4aslzy a new piano, singing and dancing act, is put upon the boards here for it's initial reception, featuring Claire and Zinmie-the latter well known in Bridgeport where she has appeared grace of pose, boise and popular song selection, the concoction of melody and piano manipulation was put over for a decision.
 Alexander, in a, single, devoted to creative puzzles with the water-co!or brush, evolved some striking land scape scenes for which there was keen rivalry among the audience.
 Onaip, the New York Hippodrome magician, who in a marvellous manner attaches a hypnotized subject to a piano suspended in mid-air, and re- wolves it amidst a setting or oriental effect finishes in a furore, leaving his audience wondrousIy amazed at the novelty.
 Another act in which there is har- mony of action, but also features the discord which can be evoked from too much honeymoon in the mountains, is presented in a riotous manner by Wor- dette & Company. There is much amusing dialogue and many striktngly funny situations.
 In b1ack-face, Coy DeTrickey, not only impersonates a negreSs minstrel in pantonime, but with her control of voice and gliding action deceives her audience until the last. The applause testif1es to the favor she created
 William J. Burns, as shown in a cleverly arranged series of detecttve stunts, exposing the land frauds of the west through murder, senatorial investigation, and final tragedy by land and sea, held the audience to the very close of the bill and will be rel ished keenly by those attracted by the daring depth of study required of the sIeutfl.

LARGE AUDIENCE AT LYRIC SEES GOOD BILL

No one yesterday contradicted the statement that the show would be the best of the season at the Box Lyric. Never in the history of Bridgeport has there been such an array of tall ent as that presented three times yesterday and good for the last three days of the week.
 Every act is entitled to headline honors but someone must start the list and it Is a toss up between the Two Clarlzs, "A Night on a Wharf" and Hilton and Ramon. The C1arks father and son have a hand balancing stunt that is a sensation The fath- CT looks more like enemic clerk than he does like an athlete but he seems to possess superhuman strength in his arms. The boy Is a winner and can balance just as well on one hand as on both feet. The act was riot.
 "A Night on a Wharf introduces some pretty scenery and three corking good singers. They assume the char acters Of 8 captain, a sailor and a tramp. The scene shows a dock at night time with the city illuminated in the distance The first song is the Rosary and 1t brought several encores. The men are not only good singers but are comedians as well. They sing a number of songs and got away with a tremendous hit.
 The dainty little Bonnie Sisters are also a bright spot on the bilL be- ing petite, graceful and above all so attractive in their song and dance sl<it with immaculate changes of classy clothes, that they would be en- titled to the headlines on any other show than the present aggregation of big acts. Their rythm Of motion at the finish is elegance heightened by art and entities them to high honors.
 Hilton and Ramon in the Battle of Too Soon'' were a bowling success. The theme of the story is bur1esque and 1t we'll written The lines are bright and there is laugh nearly every second This is one of the stan dard acts in vaudeville.
 Henderson and Henderson are one of few good co1ored teams in vaude- vile. They sing well and do a cake walk with a new kind Of frostfng that closed them in fine shape. Go1dfe Banta is a demure little miss with a charming personality and a sweet singing voice She added material to the bill which is the best that has played the; Fox house -s-+.<ae e..-s
 The usual six reels of photoplays were shown and include several in structive subjects.

act He doesn't say a word during the fifteen minutes he is on the stage, but his pose, actions and clever tricks are enough to cause side aches from laughter.
 '"The Lawn Party, a fitting sequel to 'fThe Metropolitan MinstreIs' which made such a decided hit last week, is pleasing the large audiences that greet it's every presentation.

Warren and Conley, known as "The Ginger Pair" cer- tainly live up to their odd appeIla- ton in their singing, dancing and piano playing. Moss and Frye, two clever darkies, The Willis Family, premier instrumentalists of vaude- vile, Edison's kinetophone with new subjects and the Poliscope with inter esting views compose this splendid programme of all star acts.
 Next week, Pauline, the worlds greatest mesmerist and the man who has baffled scientists alk over the globe, will headline the bill and dem onstrate his powers of hypnotism.

WEIGH WELCOMED
 WILDLY AT PARK

At the Park theatre last night Ben Welch presented himself and com pany for the edification, deIectation, and amusement of the Bridgeport theatregoing public. Ben Welch was great-he was more than that, he may be rightly termed immense, and showed in his best form that genius with which he has steadily ascended the ladder of fame as a comedian.
 The supporting cast are themselves deserving of being head1iners before a regular show. The chorus is ex- ceptionally sprightly and well select ed. The costumes and book are ori- gina1 and above the average. Several speciality dances are well executed and songs are pleasing
 Altogether, the production is with out exception one of the finest that ever topped the boards at the Park, although it is exclusively and indi- v1dua1Iy Ben We1crs throughout. From the moment that the curtain first rises 'busiHess'' stimulated by Welchs presence is apparent and at his entrance during the middle of the first act until the finish, it is a riot of monologue dialogue, pantomime and comedy such in New York city would pack the house at far greater prices than Bridgeport usual 1y commands.
 We1ch appears in the character of Jewish comedian favoring his audi ence with originality which even brought smiles to the company it. self A rapid change to Italian char aoter proved his versatility and wide range of ability.
 Frank P. Murphy and Leo Kendel as well as Pat Kearney '-the straight man" are entitled to featured notices as they are fully equal to any head liners who have recently appeared in Bridgeport.
 Etta Hastings, Helen Delaney, and Maude Heath, in specialties received approval, and demonstrated their in dividua1 ability beyond question. The closing dance of Delaney & Heath was a fitting finish to an undoubtedly magnificent bur1esque offering, one which will not fail to draw capacity houses during it's engagement here.

She stopped shor< courtesied to the ground and backed out of the garden as a slender, elderly little man stroIled forward.
 Augustus III, king of BorPovina, was royal only in his manners and in his capacity for spending money that did not belong to him. This latter accom- plishment had helped to bankrupt his country and to make him the most un- popular man in it.
 It had also greatly smoothed the way for very promising little conspiracy on the part of his relative, Prince Via dimir HalberstAdt, pretender to the Borrovina throne. For a century the Oberitches and the Halberstadts had warred, intrigued and angIed in turn for the throne of Borrovina. The two families hated each other bitterly. And the fact an Oberiteh-Augustus Ill., chanoed just now to wear the crown did not mean at all that he was going to keep on wearing it.
 The king greeted his daughter with absent minded affection, quite oblivious of her scared glance in the direction of the summer house.
 "Sit down, IFma," he said. ''I have come to speak to you on a serious mat ter-a matter that will change your whole future and Borrov1na's too.''
 The princess looked at him in puz- zled eagerness. He meandered on.
 "Borrovina is facing a crisis. The treasury is empty. The people are mur- muring. The spirit of unrest seems to have erept' abroad in a most dangerous and instduous manner"

 "Friends?' ?'' gasped Irma, incredu- 1ously
 ''The very best of friends,'' her father assured her. tAnd you mustn't hate him any longer, my dear, because, you see, you are going to be Prince V1adi- mfrs wife"
