THE PLAZA

Even though you were among the hundreds that were turned away from the Plaza during. the past two days when it was imp ossible to secure standing room at 8 premium, the fact remains that it must be a good show and you should get there early today and avoid disapp ointment. The Five Bennett Sisters are holding the posi- ton as headlfner and their exhibition of fencing, ag-puncfling, boxing and wrestling is not only interesting but very amusing. They are five very pretty girls with wonderfully develop ed bodies and they have often been called the female sspvhife hopes" They prove that there is some amount of truth init when they exchange few friendly s'walfops" with each that would cause many an admired pugilist to reflect long and deliberately before acting. 5ssss.a
 Married life has served as the sub ject for many a good Iaugh-provo oking sketch, but never to better advantage than in Julie Edwards & Cos comedy offering, My Wife at. the Plaza to- day. And there is more truth than fiction in the story told. which would aid all you young married folks and even all those who. intend to pro nounce the binding words in the near future, and a little trip might accom- plish mighty results.

 play. "Classmates'a will be shown to- day at the Lyric theater for the last time in Bridgeport. Robert Edeson played the leading role in this play for two years and it is one of the most successful "K and F., productions ever offered on the American stage. The motion picture dramatization fola lows the play very exactly but is strengthened in many parts by the Advantages that are given the motion picture producers. The life of the classmates at West Point, the drilling and parties on the campus, also the search for the lost classmate in the Amazon jungle are a. few of the many interesting parts that can not be shown in the legitimate production-
 This play exemp1ifies the great ad- vantage that the photo drama has over the stage production and the abil-
 ity that is afforded the producer to give 8 detailed and more complete idea Of a, play OF story.
 For three days commencing tomerr row matinee the Lyric will offer ''The
 Billionaire,''* another Klaw and Err 1anger success. This well known and popular comedy kept American in con
 vuIsions of laughter for four sue
 cessive seasons. From the time that John Doe, the American biIlionaire, is
 seen preparing for his champagne bath, until he gives a t1eater away to
 a passing rewsboy, the whole piece is packed full of situations as novel
 and unusual as they are, amusing.

monkeys went without
 One day a big dog came into the yard the kittens briSt1ed up their backs and spit at him but the dog didn't go away. The monkeys thought it was time to help the kit tens so they started out for the dog. The dog. had never seen monkeys be- fore and he thought it must be anew kind of a dog and he wished to show he was friendly so he started toward them swagging his tail. as he went. The kittens thought he was going to hurt their friends and they flew at him with their claws all out ready to bury them deep in his fur but the dog had met the kittens before and knew just how sharp their claws were so he ran out of the yard as fast as he could, while the kittens rubbed up against the monkeysf faces as much as to say: Did you see how we took care of you We made him run, didn't wei" and the monkeys look ed very wise and didn't say anything.
 They lived with Florence many years. but F4orence's father and mother were obliged to move to an other city and they thought best not to take the monkeys so they were given to the zoo where they were ta- ken good care of.

THE FRIENDLY MONKEYS.
eBy Virginia vaIe.9


 Once upon: a time there were two country way over the sea as a gift to little Florence.
 When she saw them she was afraid of them, they made such funny noises and reached out, their long arms to clutch at anything that came within. their reach. Florence's mother told her that the monkeys were afraid too and she must wait and let them get used to their. new home It didn't take them very long to find out that every one was going to be kind to them and very soon they both grew very fond of Florence and followed her about just as her kittens did.
 ~One day Florence missed the kittens and looked a long time before she found them and where do you think they were? The two monkeys had them in their arms and were holding them just as you would held a little baby and kept up all the time fun ny noise almost as though they were talking to them. This made Flor ence laugh and she called to her moth CT to come and see teo.
 After that she was not afraid the monkeys would hug her kittens and the kittens grew fond of the monkeys and would often go to sleep cuddied up close to the monkeys, taking care that no one disturbed them They played together and the kittens would take hold of their tails and the mon keys would run after them round and round until they all had to stop and rest-
 Every morning they had their breakfast together and the monkeys would never eat until the kittens came and were willing that they should have some of their food if they wanted and I am, afraid they often ate more than they ought to and the

My l1ncle, a letter carrier, was remark ing to his wife that Kathryn would soon be able to run the house and aid her Whereupon the littlef girl began to scamper like one possessed up and down stairs, running from one room to another, to the consterna- tion. of the household. What are you up to ?D exclaimed her father, catching at her skirts as she fled at a breakneck pace past him :. [ m practicing running the house. z <she resp ondeds breathlessly. On another occasion when refused a trif1fng res quest, Kathryn hopped so painfully across the room that she was fol- lowed quickly by her mother, asking in alarm :sf tsAre you hurt?

 The most honorable men are often lax in morals when it comes to love affairs

When they are called away, never expect ing to return to that vicinity, they have no compunction in bidding such sweethearts a nasty, careless fare Of conscience. though they know full we'll that there areA hearts which grieve to death over a misplaced af- fection-a broken love dream.
 Yet such men will go to new places. meet other pretty women and enact the same role oyer again, until half a score or more wrecked lives should awaken their conscience to pity if not remorse If one woman happens to pay man in his own coin. jilt him -when he is thoroughly in love with her. he cries out bitterly that shesis heart1ess; that, soon or late, spl1nish- ment will be meted out to her for knew she did not reciprocate his ten der sentiments.

They want him, they need him, they stu Hove him. J The keen lash of conscienees has brought many a man back to heart broken wife and little ones.
