pOL.I'S THEA FIR

POLL.
 Review by the Press Agent)
 It was a reception that was ten- dered Charles Mack by host of old friends and admirers at the big PoIi theater on Main street yesterday afternoon and evening, when he open ed here again in that most tender of ideaIfc acts Come Back to Erin,'' versatile performers.
 Come Back to Erin' is a one act musical diversion containing much real singing and comedy. Written especially for Mir Mack it at once found favor in the biggest houses in America. The setting is anost beau tiful and taken from actual scenery in the Emerald Isle 1t will remind many of the days of their childhood. There is a dramatic force required which aptly suits MT. Mack and those who support him in the interwoven plot. Come Back to Erin,' as sung by the Irish Lassfe, made a tremen- dous hit, while the bagpipe speciality won applause.
 The WaIling Levering troupe of eccentric and farcia1 in bicycle riding and have introduced many novelties which keep up the general hiIarity. A beautifully formed model used in the act attracted much attention and add ed materially to the great strength of the offering
 Knowles & White are undoubtedly a clever pair; having bright line of chatter and popular. songs which have been specially interpolated with hu-
 nor that is infectious. Their repartee took we'll with the big audience.
 Fox's circus proved to be dog and a man who combine in one of those acts which appeal to, the innate love Of animals. Josephine ReIIfs, a tall, well-dressed girl with a, golden voice added materially to the general tone of the performance. Logan & Ferris in their desert scene soldier extravaganza offer a diversion which contains much that is new and ac- ceptable.
 With the weekly Pathe bulletin shown yesterday and a two reel film that blended romance and comedy one of the best bills of the season was shown.

GAN HOUR BEFORE DAWN,
 AT THE EMPIRE THEATRE

Audiences that crowded the Ernpire theatre at both performances yeste-- day saw Daniel Frohman's presenta- tion of the Famous Players film '.An Hour Before Dawn with Laura. Saw yer and House Peters in the leading parts. This intensely interesting photo play which is in three parts is a sequel to that clever detective story Chelsea 775O.'' The plot is based on an. as- founding mystery. A sensational crime that mysti1es the police is final ly traced to recent scientific dis covery by a clever female detective aided by her crippled father, a former detective captain
 One of the most thrilling scenes in the story occurs as the title suggests ''an hour before dawn Miss Sawyer will be rernem bered for her work in the famous Kate Kirby detective plays. In "An Hour Before Dawn she appears to advantage fitting ad mirably into the part of the female detective in this startling modern de- tective story.
 Besides Miss Sawyer and Mir. Peters; the film is produced with an all srar cast. Tonight the added features are Levi and McGinnis Running for Of flee" an excruciatingly funny two part comedy story, The Organist'' an6 t'For Old Loves Sake

WILLIAM A. BRADY GUAR
 ANTEEs HIS ATTRACTIONS
 Bought and Paid For" one of the remarkable plays of the season, which will be the attraction at the Park theater next Tuesday and Wednesday carries my personal guarantee. It is the same in every particular as drew packed houses for two years at my playhouse in New York.
 If you find anything to criticize any slurring or inattention by the players, or any point about the stage equipment that does not justify the highest claims of the management I shall esteem it a very great favor to have you write me in detail at my office in the Playhouse, New York.
 It has been asserted in some quar- sters that lack of interest in amuse- ments in all but the largest cities has been caused by short-sighted managers who sent inferior compan- ies and shabby scenery to these cen ters. I am determined that my name, when attached to an attraction shall be a full assurance of the high value of that attraction, and I be- speak your assistance to that end.
 Any proper complaint you may make will receive prompt and respectful at tention.

THE PLAZA

To use the thea trfcal expression, the show went over big last night at the Plaza theatre, for every number on the program from the first to the last was a big hit and more than pleased one of the largest audiences of the season.
 Hill & Sylvieny without question the most spectacular bicycle act ever pre- scented in Bridgeport, was big feature of the bill The male member of the act performs some wonderful and ex- tremely dangerous feaes the unicy- c1e, the most startling being that of riding down a long flight of steps with his female partner perched upon his shoulders. It is a stunt that should be seen to be appreciated and it brought them a tremendous round of applause last night.

ROSEY POSEY GIRLS
 ORIGINALLY CLEVER

Clarks Rosey Posey Girls, musical bur1esque now playing at the Park theater, made a distinctive hit with the burlesque audience that attended last night. Called a musical bur 1esque and entitled E'The Mayors EIec- tfon,'' the Rosey Posey Girls may be called a fair sample of the elevated burlesque that is being introduced throughout the country. The book is not up to standard, though the in of the average and the costuming and setting of the musical numbers exceeds that of most burlesque shown in Bridgeport this year.
 From the standpoint of artistry the leading comedians are weak, though those supporting forge ahead of their class. There is a stage direction which is admirable and has produc- ed chorus action that should be emu lated. The work upon the musical numbers brought constant applause from the audience.
 The work of M. J. Kelly and Irving Gear did not have that originality and snap that they have previously dis played. George A. Clark was not seen enough in the plot though when he did appear his work was finished Lee Hickman and Jim Moran appear ed to fair advantage Anthony Cor te1lf, as Tony the Italian. was charac- eot ~ SS.Ae- A00~As s0o e11A ON o~eiOA Ade1ina Foattino we'll deserved the applause that was showered upon her. Ruby Gray and Helen Reynolds put over songs that cannot be denied, giv- ing them merited popularity. Irene Gold is not cast in her proper place and fails to win with Bridgeport au- diences.
 Among the successful musical num- bers which showed originality of con- ception and excellent vocal attain ment were Game of Tag written by Peter S. Clark, Down Beside the Sea-" "I Want a Man. Copper Col ored Squaw.' The speciality by Kelly. Clark, Cortelli and Moran was inn mense and received several encores
 The Rosey Posey Girls can get by wherever they show, as it is a clean. well staged, well costumed and fairly clever concoctfon of original nom sense.

 that chamber of horrors! Well, serves him right, and good lesson for him. Let him dream of his Myrtle.
 She tried to turn to something else. but in spite of her her thoughts would go to Lambert.
 'fPoor deviI,'' she sighed; .'how hun- gry he must be. l wonder if he fsas any cigars with him!''
 And then though she had quite deter mined to do no such thing. her hand, almost of its own volition and with certainly no willing force from her, took up the telephone and her voice called for Mime. Tussaud's.
 Without much difficulty she got the place and explained to the night watch man that she had reason to believe that "a Mr. Lambert was locked in the chamber of horrors. She held the line for a time and finally had the sat isfactfon of hearing a humble, discreet voice at the other end. which still had a cold defiance in if beneath the ve- neer of humility.
 4"Ah, Tamberttr' she exclaimed over the wire. They've got you out. eh Tired of being wax work?'
 But the trainer paid no attention to the jibing quality of her tones and plunged into recital of what he had heard while, he posed as pr. Crippen-
 Its not true" she exclaimed over the wire. You're inventing it to get at me. Tom Lambert. will you swear it is true?"
 Lord Beverley entered during her concluding words and she explained rapidly to him.
 -nR9 he demanded.
 But after another short talk with Lambert she continued to Beverley.
 ''It's true! He says he overheard a plot to kill The Whip. They mean to uncouple the horse box at Manf1eld junction just the other side of the tunnel and leave it where the down express Fl run into it and smash the whole thing up.''
 Lord Beverley now talked with Lam bert in his turn.
 .'If this story of yours is true. whose plot is tt?'' he asked. What: Captain Sartoris! Greville. Are you mad or drunk. sir. to make such an accusa- tion? You'll take your oath upon it? Going by the same train as The Whip prevent the horses starting at any cost Yes; I'II do that.''
 He snapped up the receiver when they heard the whistle of the train as it left Fa1conhurst station.
 You can't. There goes the train,'' lamented Mrs. Beamish.
 ''Too later' exclaimed Beverley. q wouldn't have that horse hurt for three times what she stands to win. Good heavens. Betty, Harry Anson and the others-we must save them.''
 But Mrs. Beamish was already on her agitated but rapid way to the door.
 And we will!'' she cried. Tt is my doing My stupid Jealousy has led to it all It's my duty to put things straight, and I'm going to do 1t-''

Der that Lambert. who knew nothing of the hydraulic door. would have no time to escape and would be obliged to remain there from Saturday night until Monday.
 Now Beverley had just left her. He had threatened to give Lambert the sack and she knew that the trainers s place was in danger.
 Her conscience smiting her she glanced up at the clock
 Five and twenty past T,'' she said aloud in her hard, dry voice, with it's not of a too abundant humor. ''Ten o'clock last night. Ten to ten's twelve hours and ten to half past seven's an- other nine-twenty-one hours alone in

CHAPTER XII.
For the Honor of the coIors.

For the Honor of the colors TAHE station employees at Falcon hurst station had prepared the horse box for the reception of - Lord BeverIey's pride rather huriedIy, for they were anxious to see the car attached to the train. which. having arrived ahead of it's time, was being held. for they knew that once through the tunnel the down express would be only three minutes behind them. They had set the red tail light and arranged the slip cord which would release the coupler when it was pulled. and now they were wait ing for The Whip to be led aboard.
 Lady Diana and Harry Anson were standing at the intelligent animals head while the girl said her goodbys to the racer she loved and upon whose successful performance at Newmarket depended so much.
