 Five years ago, all Bridgeport was ErOIsed to the point of joyful excite nent by that famous wizard of hyp- aOsiS and mesmerisrn Pauline, who anne here for week and could have ltayed a month. His remarkable demonstrations as master of hypnosis md the wonderful tests he allowed himself to be put to, made him the most sensational vaudeville attraction sver offered here by Manager Pol and the news that he opens next Mon lay for another weeks engagement should be joyful tidings to those who love the sensational and problematical mixed in with their mirth. Pauline concludes a weeks stay at Hammer stefn's theatre New York, today, and his playing here next week will be the only engagement outside the big eity for three months to come, as his bookings will keep him busy there for that length of time. Pauline has devolved numerous new stunts and tests which will be shown here next week and it is safe to say his ap- pearance will be just as sensationally successful as his last visit. Monday at noon, Pauline will start from the door of Polls theatre and blindfolded, will endeavor to discover a hidden letter, and post office box key, secret ed by a committee of men from the various local newspapers. The noted hypnotist will leave Poli's front door promptly at 12 o'clock noon, Mon Hay.
 Pauline is the head1iner, but the magnificent array of attractive va riety numbers on the bill with the hypnotic wizard, really makes the pro- gram one of headline proportions and should be as consistently good as any which have gone before.

THE PLAZA

Today is the last chance to see the Vim. J. Burns pictures at the Plaza. Everyone should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing this won aerful detective in action. He is the most widely advertised man in the world due to the fact that he is the most successful man in the sIeuth line. The pictures are in three reels and were procured by the Plaza man agement at a very high figure
 This is also the last opportunity to See that famous mystery Onaip, as he sails for Europe the following week 10 play an engag cement of several years. The coming week is Hollow he pace bilI'', as it is. termed, due to the fact as the bills have been of such a meritorious degree that it was necessary to book in for the coming week a vaudeville and photo-pla.y pro- gram of unusual strength, thus 'fol- low the pace bill.'
 We have had monkeys who have made themselves men; we have had Theatre offers as their star feature Tor the coming week Col. Fred, the baIkiney horse Col. Fred is without question the most intelligent equine In the world; what he doesn't know lsn't worth knowing and in his per- Eormance on the stage he discloses his knowledge in such a manner as to win him the plaudits of the audi ence. This is one of the highest sal aried acts in vaudeville, and Col Fred only recently turned down sea- Eon's engag cement with Barnum & Bailey at a very fancy figure.
