that the Thaw case interested the

The Three Vital Figures.

About all there were the three
vital figures in the case. First the
ghost of Stanford Whict, all the
more interesting because 1t was so
intangible it left a million things to
the imagination-an evil ghost that
might have come from from the pit
itself. so black and sinister were the
things attributed to 1t. From the
shadows from which 1t was evoked
came also lurid pictures Of unmen-
tionable orgies taking place amid
scenes such rs filled the pages OF
Ouida, and that 'ravish the fancy.
Then there was Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, marvclously beautiful, with
her story of injured innocence to
make the very angels wccp-a story
that gained crcdence from her visit
full little child's face. Never was
there a more lovely heroine, never a
Gadder tale or one that went
straightcr to the heart of every hon
est man and woman. That such OK
pericnccs should bcfall one so young
and fender drew tears from ever,
cye-tears that had to be wiped
away snrreptitionsly, SO that we
wouldn't miss single word of her
revelations.
And there was Harry Thaw him
self, a perfect type of the gilded
youth, who make history up and
down the tendcrloin. The country
already. rang with a thousand sto-
ries. some true. some false, of his
ascapades-of his giving $4,000
beauty dinners to the demimon-
LANES Of Europe. Of his shooting up
,afes lust for fun. of his hard head
ID old father having made frantic
effort to save him by cutting down
his allowance. and of his fond moth.
rr having circumvcntcd the plan by
supplying him with money from her
)wn deep purse.

Sane or Insane.
And last, but not least, one of the
reasons for the undyiRg interest In
the Thaw case is the still unsolvcG
lucry whether he is sane or insane.
1t is like the conundrum of the lady
or the tiger. and each person has a
perfectly good opinion on it which
he can substantiate with perfectly
good arguments.
Half dozen alieniStS. eminent
and respected In their professions.

other alieniSts. also authors Of books
on mental diseases and in charge of
other insane asylumS. swear that he
Is perfectly sane. When doctors dis
agree, what is the layman to do but
argue about it?
And so. for hundred and one
reasons. the interest in the Thaw
case goes on and will continue to go
on for Heaven knows how long. 1t
is the great continued story of real
life in which our interest never
flags. for none OF us knows what Is
coming next, nor what the real end
will be.

LYRIC

''Notre Dame de Paris.'' Victor Hu- go's great masterpiece, will be shown in motion pictures for three days commencing Monday matinee at the Lyric theater, Bridgeport's eading and most popular photo playhouse.
 None of the details of this immortal work have been disregarded, the film adhering absolutely to the text con- tained in the original composition with all it's passionate display and it's tense ly dramatic situations. This wonder full four reel production was taken in the authentic locations at Paris and many of the scenes of the play are taken in the famous cathedral of Notre Dame.
 The play is supported by a remark able cast of characters, all the princi- pals being famous in every country in Europe This production has been in the course of preparation for more than year, has 450 in the cast and was produced at a cost exceeding the sum of $75.o00.
 A Kinemacolor production entitled Steam and one that has been in dorsed by the press as the most in teresting historical picture ever shown will be included on the same program. Steam is romantic story inter woven with the pictora1 history of the discovery of steam power and it's ap- plfca tion to inventions that <evolu- tionized the world.
 This is without doubt the best, se- lected motion picture program ever shown in any Bridgeport theater, and when shown in a. manner that is indi. vidual to the Lyric the public havo nothing in motion pictures to make their enjoyment complete.
