ORATORlO SOCIETY SELECTS FEB. 3 AS
 DATE FOR CONCERT I

The last rehearsal of the Oratorio Society previous to the holidays was held on the usual meeting night of last week, and was decidedly success full. A very large attendance is now usual at every rehearsal, and pr. Mees is very much pleased at the work of the society.
 It was announced that no further meetings would be held until January 9th, when regular rehearsals will again commence.
 After the rehearsal a special meet ing of the board of directors was held and February 3rd was chosen for the date of this seasons concert.
 The membership of the society has now reached 314 members and in addition to this large number of as- sociate members are being taken in. Possibly if more of our people req lized the advantage of this associate membership, we would take in still more. The advantages of being able to come to rehearsals even though not wishing to take part in the work itself, also a later opportunity to get two of the best seats in the house, is the consideration that goes as the two advantages of associate membership. It is expected from now on that the list of associate members will rapidly increase.

POLI'S.

Opening today for the first three days of the week, one of the best pro grams ever offered to the theatrego- ing. public of Bridgeport will be pre- scented by Manager PoH at his big vaudeville theatre in Main street. As a pre-Christmas bill, arrangements have been made for the presentation of an all- star program such as Is seldom shown at the PoH popular prices. Six big acts in which Miss Mabel Montgomery, Bridgeport's most popular and favortte stock leading lady will be featured, and in which many other of the best known vaude- vile actors and actresses of the coun- try will appear will be presented.
 Miss Montgomery appearance in Bridgeport will be her first behind the footlights since she was awarded the handsome automobile given by the New York Morning Telegram, for win ming the popularity contest for t'The Most Popular Actress in America She starred in the Poll Stock Go. in this city for three seasons and is well known. She will be supported by an able company managed by Joseph Hart of New Fork city in a. high class production entitled Home Ties.'' Lil- Han Bayer and W. P. Nolan will also appear in the act
 Another added feature to the bill will be Ray Dooley and her company. She recently made a, big hit in Bridge port when she appeared at Polf's with the Metropolitan Minstrels. She just simply carries away all honors with her charming personality, and will appear in one of the brightest com sdy sketches ever written. A riot of scenery and costumes are used in the act Grant Gardner, a black faced comedian win make you laugh just to look at him, and the line of jokes and songs with fancy steps are a scream. His ability as an entertainer is un- surpassed in the country. The Great Merlin, the worlds greatest card manipulator will be big feature. on the program and will do wonderful

LYRIC

The peer of all the western dramas ever produced, entitled '"The Sheriff and the Rust1er,'' will be one of the big features at the Lyric theatre to- day and tomorrow, matinee and even ing. This remarkable photo drama Is distinctiVely different from the regu- lar western story and makes a spec tacu1ar photo play of more than ordf- nary merit. @
 The Sheriff and the Rust1er'' is a highly sensational story filled with exciting and nerve racking situations and is composed of succession of thrills throughout rne entire three reels. One of the most sensational and daring feats in the picture Is a struggle on the top of a moving freight train between the sheriff and the rustler. When the train is trav- cling at a high rate of speed the two roll from the top of the train in their struggle to a. river seventy feet below. This is just one of the remarkable and daring feats that are shown in the picture.
 Mission Bells, a two-ree1 Kline nacolor production, the Monday issue of the Pathe Wekly and three other exclusive photo plays will be included on the same program.

 1.-THE THEATRES
1.HE PLAZA

Without doubt the, biggest enter tainnent turkey ever carved in a To- cal theatre has been prepared by Manager Ca1lan at the Plaza theater for this week, commencing with to- days matinee, and it has a rich, de- leetab4e dressing of fun, novelty and melody that will tickle the palates of Bridgeport's amusement lovers. It is 8 Christmas bargain that everyone, young and old, should take advantage of and everything is in keeping with the joyous, happy spirit of the yule- tide. There are plenty of good laughs. enough music and novel features to key up your spirits to the last nick and it's up to you to take your share. Just. glance over the following pro- gram and read the proof of the above statements. Heading the list and, of course, occupying the position of healthier, come the Reese Bros. Afri- cander's with nine people, all talented singers and dancers, and with a car load of special scenic and electrical effects to represent the sunny South. It is like 8 refreshing breeze from the cotton lands. with the young and old darkieS gathered around the ram shackle huts, singing the old melodies and dancing the old steps in a manner that will set your feet tapping to the tune of the music and stir up the blood in your veins. And yet, humor has not been sighted in the play for the. artistic, for the Reese Bros. are noted comedians and their stories are bound to be appreciated.
 Dainty and chic Eva Prout, with personality that seems to reach right out and grasp, will be a popular figure on the program with her up-to-the- minute-1ine of songs and clever pat ter.
 Boyer & Marks will offer a treat in the musical line that will surely be relished for this clever pair come heralded as the best in their line.
 James Connigan & Co. in their nonsensica1 comedy sketch get over a laugh creating brand yof dialogue that goes hard with side aches and the plot of the sketch is simply a, pivot for a bunch of tangled situationns that keep piIing on more Inirth.
 DeCamo and his wonderful dog. Cora, which is considered the epitome of animal culture and training, are on the bill and their act is certain to be the popular favorite with the little tots, especially.
 ''The Curse," dramatic story in two parts, His Imaginary Family and t.An Assisted Proposal compose the photoplay features.

A HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
 IN MUSICAL APPRECIATION

"A strong course of study of great musical literature should be offered in the high school says Professor Will Earhart, of Pittsburgh, in a prelimin- ary report on music just issued by the United States Bureau of Education. Musical appreciation is particularly appropriate for third and fourth year students. The course should include the study of musical. history, lives of famous musicians. forms of musical composition, aesthetics of music etc. '
 Professor Earhart further urges in his report that the instruction be bas- ed on a large number of selected com positions, ancient and modern; that all the different means of musical ex- pression be considered-piano, or ohestra, chorus, solo singing, solo in 'strument, cham Der music, etc, and that only the best and most characfer- istfc works of the various composers be studied, whether song, sonata, rondo, opera oratorio, or cantata.
 Professor Earhart and the members of the committee who are working with him to reorganize secondary ed ucaGon in music appear to have no objection to ''canned music'' In fact the report urges that a course in nnu- sica1 appreciation is now much more practicable than formerly, because of the great strides that have been made in the mechanical devices for repro ducing musbc-the plano player, the talking machine, and the player or- gan. With the help of any or all of these" says Professor Earhart, and the assistance of local musicians, in addition to what the class and teacher can provide. a course in musical ap- preciation can be made of inestimaibIe value in the high school
 Besides Professor Earhart; who is musical director of the public schools of Pittsburgh, Pa, the following are m embers of the committee: B. B. Birge, Indianapoli Ind; Henrietta G. Baker, Baltimore, Md; Ralph L.. Baldwin, Hartford, Conn; Hollis B. Damn, Cornell University; Charles H. Harnsw orth, Columbia University; c. A.
