LARGE CROWD HEARS FAMOUS
ITALIAN BAND LAST EVENING

There has been criticism that the
chautauqua should have been held in
June instead of in July owing to the
fact farm operations are now under
way, and scores OF families that live
here during the winter are now in the
country.
The ciricillo band which was the
chief attraction yesterday afternoon
and evening was well appreciated.
Today has been Woman's day at the
chautauqua. This afternoon Mrs. A.
l.. a. Robinson lectured on THE
japanese as | Saw Them" and she
will also speak this evening. The
chief feature this evening will be a
travel lecture on Mexico and South
America by DR.. Peter MacQueen.

A record breaking crowd filled the
chautauqua tent last evening for the
concert by the Ciricillo band and the
Thaviu Grand Opera company and
when called to express an opinion as
to a chautauqua here next year re-
sponded by pledging 200 tickets.
This is not sufficient guarantee as
the Ellison-White company insists
upon sale Of not less than coo tick
cts. So it is yet an undecided ques-
ton as to whether the chautaudua
viii be continued or not. 1t is pos
sible, however, that further tickets
may be sold provided the company
will agree to more seasonable date
than was given the city this year.

fore the trainrobbers boarded No. 5

before the robbers got aboard the

pedo, he said. and he had just start
ed to investigate when he was con-
fronted by the three men. He could
give no explanation for II unless It
was fired to shake his nerve.

feels it was added. that big busi-
ness" has accepted his antitrust
scheme without putting obstacles in
its way and as a result he's consid-
ering certain changes in the pend
ing bills which without altering them
fundamentally will eliminate some
hardships incidental to their enforce
ment after they are enacted.

today with Henry Ford the millionaire
automobile manufacturer of Detroit
THE only thing care TO say about
the conference" said Ford, sis that
we discussed business conditions. l

House said the president greatly en-
joyed' the conference.

THE PLAZA

Swair's Cockatoos in 8 wonderful exhibition of bird sagactty will be seen in the headline position at the Plaza Theatre the last half of the week com mencing with the performance this af- ternoon. There is a very large and
 exceedingly interesting assortment of these masters of the air and the stunts which they perform are startling. When it is borne in mind that a bird is one of the most difficult of animals to teach, wonder over Swain's Cocka- toos will receive 8 strong impetus.
 Fuller, Roce & Co.,, in their rfotous- ly funny farce, Whining a King will be an added feature. The sketch requires the services of five nanufac- turers of nfrth and their efforts cause the augh-provoking situations to come fast and furious. The plot seems to be to see which one or the five can get the most laughs and they all get their share. It was written simply for laughs and every line in it is creator.
 Carmen Ercell, the beautiful and talented violiniste with an unusually pleasing voice will be a welcome figure in the bill. It took 8 great deal of arranging and wrangfing between Manager CaIlan and the booking off, ces to secure Miss ErceN and give lo- cal theatre goers a delightful musical treat, that they will surely appreciate.
 Swor & sWestbrook will offer their -to-the-nninute singing, talking and dancing skit that is bound to score heavily. Their cross talk is a scream and they are clever opponents of the terpsichorean art,
 Sf KiticI1i, sensational Japanese tra- peze artist. will go to make a pro- gramme of vaudeville attractions such as Bridgeport has not seen in some time.
 s.The Woman" q powerful Broncho feature in two parts, s"The Man" Reliance drst-run and Cohen Saves the Flag, another of those screaming Iy funny Keystone comedies compose the p11otop1ay program.

 Pretentiousness of the head line act
 has in no way impaired the high standard for the remainder of the
 bill. Roxy La Rocca King of the Harpists'' will be a close second for the honors of the program with his wonderful know1edgs and ability. Ed ucated under instructors of promin- ence in Europe he is a wizard on the instrument and plays classic and pop
 ular music with equal c1everness. Beu- 1ah DeBusse is a charming little lady gifted with great knowledge as ventri1oquist who will furnish an un- usual act. It is extremely different from the ordinary vaudeville act and is interspersed with plenty of lively. comedy and beauty. stThes Silk Stock ing'' is the interesting title of a high class comedy sketch to be presented by Harry Ellsworth & Go. They are clever performers and there will be cyclone of fun furnished. Lang & Coulter, <b1ack faced comedians in Studies from Life'' will furnish a riot of laughter with all new jokes and songs.
