ATTRAC TONS. THEATRES
PARK THEATRE
IReHieW.1 J.

(ReView.
 The Broadway Girls appeared at the Park theatre last night before an audience that was appreciative but un- demonstrative. With George P. Mur- phy in the leading role the show which is named e"TinkIes' Troubles is con coction Of nonsense with clever com. edians and singers whose work showed much that is novel but new to the average theatre-goer and it's foundation was overlooked. There are some clever song numbers, comedy that is original and speciality work that will not fail to appeal to the lover of the odd and especially the lover of good dancing.
 A chorus which has action, costume and ingenuity of direction prevails throughout. There is a dash to the production which is not warranted by the material.
 George P Murphy, the principal comedian, while held back by the book has c1eVerness which cannot be re- strained and worked hard to put his character across in Al style. The makeup of the feeders was too gross and grotesque to assist
 Ruby Bailey, real blonde prin1a donna, whose form and latest style in costumes appealed beyond expectation offered Tulip Town new number with that abandon which focused the attention of the audience and drew the first genuine applause. Her i'm personation in the routine showed a. finished artist and one with versa ti1ity seldom seen in bur1esque- She is qualified for musical comedy beyond the reach of the average bur1esque performer.
 Powder & Caprnan, two clever danc- CTS with the show did steps and eccen- tries which were quickly encored and entit1e them to the utmost commenda- tion.
 Pam Lawrence. 9 viri1e soubrette showed both action and like ability which will win her additional 1aurels if consistently maintained. Among the chorus apart from costume there is little to be said for there are but few real workers. A central figure, however, said by the management to be Beatrice Barnes, showed that abandon and captivity which places her in the ranks of those higher up.
 The Broadway Girls should show to honey even though Holy week cuts their business in half. R. w. W.

 with mo1asses and would seem to be chiefly valuable as sort of bovine chewing gum but it sells for $40 ton
 The general character of the cat tie feeds sold in this state however, the report says, has improved of late years as result of thes yearly inspec- ton and rsport. There is but little trade at pFesents in the very inferior feeds which were formerly freely sold, feeds made up of oat hulls, refuse from the manufacture of breakfast food and ground weed seeds screened from wheat

 CROSS.
 The Lyric stheater presented last night one of the most Interesting series of motion pictures ever shown to a. Bridgeport audience. The pie lures are a living tab1eau drama en- titled From the Manager to the Cross,', and depict the life of Christ from the time of his berth in 3. manager at Bethlehem to his death on the cross at Mount Calvary.
 The entire Surroundings were in keeping with the dignity of the sub ject.s The carefully selected musical program and vocal numbers by MT. Loren De1bridge added to the effect of the film. The subject is one that required careful handling and those who viewed the pictures last night were loud in praise of the dignity with which they were surrounded. The pictures are wonderfully good, depict the customs and scenes of the Holy Land and visualize many things that had seemed unreal
 From the Manager to the Cross, '' will be shown at the Lyric both mat inee and evening today and tc morrow and at a continuous performance.

TAKING INSTEAD OF EARNING.

It is not organized labor, but CO., operative idleness that is responsible for the insurrectionary proposal of the conference of the unemployed'' in New York, which, through its ex- ecutive committee, announces that it intends to take what it wants, with out even the preliminary formality of an appeal to charity and to the churches.
 The propaganda of brute force that wrests the fruits of success from the deserving, for the benefit of the unde- serving, is not a, novel social heresy. It has been the philosophy of anar- chists and revolutionists from the be- ginning that they deserve to lie down and be supported, to subsist upon the lotus fruit of ease and indoIence But while they may defy every man made law, they cannot circumvent the, inexorable ordainment of the sur vival of the httest, which decrees that stthe drone must die" The wilful loafer does not deserve to subsist upon the toiler's compensation, and every attempt to establish the right to do so will ignomfniously faiI.- From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
