DRUCKER'S MILLINERY EXHIBIT

Tired, but suprenely happy, Miss Anna Drucker zBridgeport's popular and genial East Side rnilIiner wore a satisfied expression as she viewed the effects of her tire1ess efforts in the showrooms of her millinery .parlors when the representative of this paper called upon her today, after several trips to miIlineries fashion rnarts, in e1uding Boston, New York and Phi1a- de1phia, trips that meant endless la Dor and expenses, Miss Drucker may well feel proud of the results obtain ed. Here one may see the snartest and popular modes of the very latest in PaTisian headwear as one enters, in another section the pretty and chick domestics from the season ex- treme to the conservative, again mo- dels from the Drucker workrooms from original designs. Combinations of the best contained in all the many pretty effects as seen by Miss Drucker in her search to give to her patrons that which is the very best to be had. Trimmings and ornaments in keeping with the millinery display are shown in great quantities. The Drucker slogan is surely fulfilled, Millinery for ladies of all sizes A cordial in vitation is extended to our readers to attend the exhibit which starts today and continues throughout the re- mainder of the week.

POLI's = VAUDEVILLE

'"The best collection of talent ever presented in a local vaudeville house. e.''-Bridgepor Farmer.
 "A riot from start to finish. Every attraction is of stellar order.''-Bridge- port Telegram.
 @tMardi Gras week at Po1i's finds an exceptional bill 1l.''-Bridgeport Stan dard.
 ''The bill throughout is composed of headline acts" Post.
 If your friends have left any doubt in your minds to the truly excep- tion> merit of the grand Mardi- Gras week bill at Polls new theatre, the above excerpts from newspaper criti- cisms Of Tuesday should dispel it. '@The best show ever seen here'' is the unanimous verdict, of the press critics and they are backed up in this state ment by everyone of the thousands of patrons who already have enjoyed the festivities of Mardi Gras week.
 The S-'confetti storm and Mardi Gras favors are making a Dig hit and the many startling novelties intro duced for the week are highly pleas ing. Best Of all, however, is the great big show that Manager Po1i has given his patrons. As the newspapers agree, every offering is a headliner fit to top any vaudeville bill. Here Is the way the show runs:
 Kaln1a & Co.,, sCsylon magic; Cam spell & Reilly, fashion plate entertain CTS; Ethel Clifton and company in a dramatic sketch, fThe Surgeon; Cross & Josephine, late feature of the Wall Street Girl'' company; B. A. Rolfe's musical farce, The Love Trust; Frank Mulane, the Irish-Anerican- Hebrew; Robbie Gordons, artistic pos ing. Mullen and 'Coogan, in "Odd Nonsense''; Cheyenne Days a real cowboy act; and the Po1iscope.
 Patrons should get seats now for performances during the week Rec ord breaking business will be done this week, judging from the big at tendanceS thus far

SWEDISH ENTERTAINERS
 DRAW CAPACITY HOUSE

Notable among the events of the year in Swedish circles was the per formance at the Park Theatre last ev- ening by a company embracing both amateur and professional players, of the entertaining comedy drama. ''Varmla landingarna.'' Invested with ample scenic equipment, and present. ed by well balanced cast, the play proved the equal of many professional enterprises. The big theatre was web filled.
 Notable among the entertainers was Miss Signe WideIl, a soloist and dra- matic reader. Her vocal selection and her elocution were equally effective in arousing spontaneous applause. Miss Anna ThoreIl of Stockholm, a seasoned player, was another strong member of the cast, which included among others John Osterberg, now of Providence, formerly a resident of this city.
 Charles Widen, in the role of a rur- al comic, convu1sed the auditors. One of the most popular interpretations proved to be the Swedish dancing fea- ture presented by a double quartet of nimble and graceful young people

FOx's LYRIC THEATRE

There was no matinee at the Fox Lyric today. The Wednesday After noon club had the theatre leased for several Wednesday afternons when MT. Fox took the house and he was willing to sacrifice his own business to keep faith with everyone concerned. Two shows will be given tonight and matinees the balance of the week. Owing to- the, tremendous hit made by the Lyric stock stars they will be held over for the last half of the week in a new sketch called 'tJim's Claim" A public reception will be given both Thursday and Friday afternoon in the spacious rotunda of the theatre immediately after the afternoon per- formances. It will be impossible to make the reception Saturday owing to the fact that the show runs continu- ousIy. Never in the history Of Bridge port have three stock favorites re- ceived a reception as this trio. It is not alone on account of their stock popularity but because they make good with their dramatic offering
 Maude Rockwell with her Melba notes is one of the big hits of the bill. Bimm-Bornm-Brrr fresh from European successes are a pleasing factor with their musical novelty, Ali Ripon looks as stylish in Kilts as many a Broadway swell does in even ing dress Stewart and Peabody are a couple of thirty-third degree enter tainers with a new way of putting over a two men act, and no show would be complete without the dash and pepper of Pearson, Lyons and Co. Thursday brings an entire new show to celebrate the closing half of carni- val week. Six acts and the same number of new photo plays.

THE PLAZA

Today offers the last opportunities to enjoy the notably varied and en- tertaining show which the Plaza, man agement has provided for the first half of this week, and in which the strong element of novelty is a particu- 1arly pleasing factor. The classical spectacular dances of the Great Mar tyne, with their gorgeous Kaleidoscope ic colorings and beautiful scenic and electrical effects, are a visual delight seldom to be enjoyed in a vaude- vile offering, and are well worth sec ing.
 Fitch Cooper's .eback-kentry', talk and musical limitations are big laugh getters and the audiences are 1oath to let him go, while the remarkable stunts of equilibrism and hand-junp- ing by the Heyn Bros, close the show with a real Punch It is many a day since so clever a juvenile character comedian as Mas ter Nelson has been seen here, and some of the older ones must go some to keep in his class. F'riedland & Clark are also very much to the good as funmakers in aN decidedly original vein, and Edith Ta1bot's cartooning is presented in so novel manner as to make it especially pleasing.
 Tomorrow's entire new bill will be headed by Margie's Girlies in the con- densed musical comedy Polly Pickles Pets,'' one of the most novel and fas- cinating offerings of it's kind. It will also include the Windsor Duo in a vocal and instrumental comedy skit.

Sam Sidman is the comedian in question: Declining all overtures Sidman has remained loyal to burIesque and is now the most eminent fun maker of the German variety in this branch of the stage today. Thom- as Coyno who never fails to keep the fun alive when he is in evidence, has a part adapted to his ability in ''The Girl of Many Husbands;" and there are a host of others to bear out the aII-star assertion including Shea & Baldwin, Harry Daro, Edward Ed wards, Ada Abbott, S.

Miss Murphy has spared neither time or expense to make for the 1913 Spring season a selection of ladies hats that are sure to please and in keeping with her past efforts in this respect.

is certainly a fact that something

good citizens of these counties were
doing somethins to stop this kind

produces such effects is the assim-

conception of life and the duties Of
man to man. The fellow who sits
around the shops or on the street
corners and tells the boys of the

the immature and easily impression

such all one as hero md his deeds
as worthy of emulation, this is the
