THE DREAMERS; A SONG OF
PANAMA
BY Berton BraIey.


Thrilled with the spirit of romance
Which set their hearts af1ame,
The brave adventures of France
To this, our isthmus, came;
They dared the jungle and the sun,
The fever and the rains,
Their work, we know, was left I'M
done, -'... .-.,.
The SOUL of it remains!
They dreamed brave dreams in Pan
ANA, 49,. .-
And mid their dreams they died,
But spite of failure, fault and flaw
We know how well they tried;
We know what priceless lives it cost
At Colon and Gatun,
We know success was only lost
Because they dreamed too soon!
So though they failed and failed
again,
Through Fate and Circumstance,
1 toast those doughty Gentlemen
Adventures of France;
For if WE make their vision true
By steel and stone and steam,
THEY pointed out the work to do,
They were the first to dream!

Billy Watson's Show
 Al The Park Theatre

Billy Watson's Rig Show, with his beef-eating chorus was at the Park theatre last night for the first time this winter in two connections which display the ingenuity and cleverness of those who threw the mixture into the pan. It was certainly an elaborate course dinner of appetized viands, and the head-waiters served it up with all the speed and neatness required in the best of restaurants. The bus boys and assistants were hardly up to the standard
 The show is, in two parts, each sep arateIy distinct as to setting, location and character. The first act consists of a burlesque entitled Krausmeyer's Alley, and shows the famous imper-- fsonations of Krausmeyer, by Billy Watson himself and Mike Grogan inn personated by Eddie B. Collins. The mention of these names is alone suf- fcient to recommend the production and they are funnier and more froIic- some than during the past season. They serve up a rapid fire voiley Of jokes, jibes and business, with that zest which has the tang yet lacks the sting which bites
 The second act entitled "A Bashful Venus is rather short and consists of a series of musical numbers and model pictures It has not the flavor of the first act.
 Among the supporting cast Is ChaS. Johnson, who appears in the part of the policeman, Anita Julius, pleasing Elsa Leslie who impersonates a man with near-accuracy, Margaret F1avin, and Mae wagner, who puts over songs to applause and Margaret Newell, who with an artistic grace which was clearly a hit sang q Want to Dance, Dance, Dance"
 Special scenic effect enhanced the finishing number Of the first act en- titled '@The Fire Heros
 The Watson's show is clever, aboundfng in new jokes and shows some clever work on the part of the principals which cannot help but at tract during it's stay here.

WHILE MEN WORSHIP, TRICKSTERS DECORATE
 THEIR BATHING SUITS

The Brfdgeporters who are stopping at the ocean Wave cottage, Silver Sands are explaining to their friends the predfcament they found them selves in last Sunday and Monday. The local men after returning from church last Sunday discovered their bathing suits, which. they had hung out during the evening, sewed together and trimmed in the latest styles, with red ruffles, rosettes, ribbon boWs
 spangles and flowers, lace collars
 while two suits were trimmed with letters and question marks. The boys were very much mystified, but they were game and wore the fancy cos tunes into the water causing much fun and hilarity along the crowded beach. Other bathers considered there was a masquerade party in progress

BOY HERCULES SCORES
 AT,PLAZA PLAYHOUSE

Everyone in the big audience which filled the Plaza Theatre last evening was all agog to see the much talked about Orville Stann better known as the Boy Hercules.'' Stamm was the hit of the bdIl last evening and re- reived an ovation for his clever and most interesting work. Although a mere youth, Stamm's physical propor- Hons reach astounding figures and his Feats of strength are nothing short of wonderful. The act opens with the boy giving an exhibition of muscular development and a few exercises in physical culture A piano which re- uuires the aid of five men to lift is placed upon his knees and shoulders and he sings a song in this position 10 the accompaniment of piano play pr who is perched upon a stool at rached to the piano thereby adding his weight to the weight of the piano. With a bull dog weighing 65 pounds attached to his wrist, he plays a selec- lion on the violin and later lifts with one hand a horse weighing approM- naately 1,400 pounds about six inches from the ground, a feat that has been heretofore regarded as impossible.
 The Metropolitan Trio sang a num- Der of operatic selections that pleased the audience immensely. The woman an the act has a splendid voice and whe certainly knows how to use #. She.

Progressives May
 Play Waiting Game
Likelihood That They Will Not Nominate Until After Other
 Parties

Although the Progressive party of Bridgeport has arranged for a city convention on September Il to nom1n- ate full city ticket, there is possi- biIity that the ticket will not be no1n- mated on that date and the nomina- tions. will be delayed until after both the Democrats and the Reupblicans have named their candidates The group of practical politicians in the Progressive party who were former members of the other two parties and who know the political game pretty well, are adverse to making nonina- tions until after the Democratic and Republican primary meetings are held
 These men claim that up to date no man has been seriously considered as candidate for any office on their tick et- Under the circumstances the Pro gressiveS who are watching the pres ent condition of affairs leaoing up to the municipal campaign, feel that the only hope of the Progressives lies in waiting until after the old parties make their nominations There was a meeting of the Progressive club at the Headquarters in the Plaza thea tre building last evening, when the matter was discussed. One prominent
 member of the Progressive party said today:
 We have no one in our party who Is seeking office. Our platform favor ing a commission form of government shows that We want the office to seek the man and not the man the office and when we make a selection to head our ticket, we want to pick the best possible candidate. We know there will be great many disgruntled ones in both the old parties as we'll as in the Socialist party and we feel that by picking a fusion candidate to head the ticket after the old parties have made their nominations we will have a chance to win.'

 One of the big features of the bill was motion picture, ''The CalP' and it proved exceptionally interesting to ev eryone because of the great train wreck scene, a masterpiece of m lotion picture. The scene was complete in every detail from the smashing of the engines and the toppling of the cars entom ping the passengers to the in evitable fire. How Betty Made GoOd'' and Those Little Flowers were very interesting and amusing subjects.
