COMIC OPERA HAS INITIAL PERFORMANCE
 AT PARK TONIGHT

Tonight will witness the first per formance of Priscilla, the merry comic opera which will be given two per formances at the Park theatre under the auspices of the Bridgeport OPef- atic society and for the benefit sof the Day Nursery. There are 15O Bridge port singers. and dancers in this per ly. rehearsing for the past four weeks under R. w. Averill, assisted by liar 1y c. Chase, musical director, and J0- seph l.. Smith, all Of Boston.
 Priscilla is one of the most 6eauti- ful light operas ever written. It has been played over twelve hundred times in New England and stands along a point of historical strength. The story of the opera is well known to every, man, woman and child in Bridgeport; The re-teliing of 1t in musical rhythm will only serve to make the dainty Puritan maid Pris- cilla, the 1ove-1orn John Alden. who fears to speak for himself and the doughty Captain Miles sStandish, sol dier and adventurers more dear to the heart of every Hover or early Ameri- can history. Most every one in Bridge port will remember how popular was Miss Ada Tuck in The Mflado, The Pirates of Penzance and The College Hero. Miss Tuck, who is now Mrs. Whfttalzer, will sing the role of Pris- ci1la in the present opera having come on from New York; where she has splendid church position, pur- posely for this role, and her interpre- tation of the role of the demure Puri- tan maiden. is so sweet and charming that 1t will be long remembered by those who witness it.
 There is a large advance sale Of re- served seats for tonight's performs ance as also for tomorrow night and fho 4,1.r,r71Ir%ffor1 hide FaiY. fo ha a nan uIar success There will be only two performarces given and those who have not purchased seats should do so at once.

Plan of New Government.


 In the new government would be a provisional president, neutral in poli- tics, a cabinet of four-tWo independ- ent men chosen by the Huerta faction but not identified with the present re- gime, and two constitutiona1ists. This may be changed if the constftuttona1- ists take part in the par1eys here. The Mexican delegates certain phases of the question of a. general election. It has been virtually agreed by all parties that the provisional government should not be merely a, transition one but a government that can actually restore peace until a, general presi- dentiaI election is held. For this req son, it has been thought best to have the provisional government serve out the late President Madero's unexpired term. conductingx the regular presi- dentfa1 election of 1916.
 The Mexican constitution stands in the way of this arrangement in that it provides that a provisional presi- dent, 15 days after his inauguration shall convol1e elections to take place three months later. It is expected by the Mexicans that this difficulty could be bridged by a constitutional amend nent There will be elections in the meantime for members of the House of Deputies and the Senate and a prac- tical1y new congress would be elected by December of this year.
 Details of the transfer Of govern ment from the present regime to the new have not been worked out The expectation is that Huerta would ap- point as minister of foreign relations the man who will be agreed upon at the mediation conference.
 The constitutionalistss answer to the Inediators' note of today is not ex- pected at once. It is believed the time necessary for communicating with General Carranza- and consideration of the note itself will take at least an other day or two Out of courtesy to the constitutionalists the mediators will not make public the note they sent to Zubaran, leaving that entirely to his discretion.
 Bound By Old Treaty
 The opinion of the mediators is said to be that Carranza is morally bound under the terms of the Guadaloupe- Hidalgo treaty between the United States and Mexico, signed in 1S4S, to submit his differences to the friendly arbitration of the South Americans, just as much as was General Huerta.
 Attention was called today to the fact that the treaty binds the two countries to endeayor in the most sin cere and earnest manner to settle diff fereneess by mutual representations and pacific negotiations and not to resort to reprisals, aggressions or hos tilities of any kind until the govern nent deeming. itself aggrieved shall have rnaturely considered whether it would not be better that such differ ences should be settled by the arbitra- ton of commissioners appointed on each side or by that of a friendly na- tion- The treaty provides that should such a course be proposed by either party it shall be accededs to by the other unless deemed by 1t altogether incompatiable with the nature of the differences or the circumstances of the case.

LYRIC THEATRE

The perfect syncopation of a clog dance done to rag time music by a minstrel band is certainly a test for talking pictures
 At the Lyric theatre this week the Edison genuine talking pictures do this and even more wonderful things So perfectly is the picture timed with the music by this wonderful device invented and perfected by the great Edison, that even a trio on the xylo- phone looks exactly as if the pIaye were rendering it in the hesh before you. Every ucte that is struck is heard exactly at the same time and even the difference in, the speed of transmission between light and sound is gauged so absolutely accurately that both reach their respective des- tinations. the eye and the ear to-. getaer.
 Have you heard and seen John J. AGcGraw, the baseball Napoleon, in his baseball monologue?
 To those who wish to see and hear a widely diversified program, the equal of the best vaudeville you have ever seen, the Lyric this week offers a pIendid opportunity. These talking pictures have become the rage all over the city.
