BROADWAY JONES"
 WINS AT THE LYRIC
Cohan Success Is Well Chosen For the Calburn Players -Sher-
 man Scores Hit

Advertising pays. That's a lesson Broadway Jones' learned after an uncle died and saddled him with a chewing gum factory About this Broadway Jones' which opened a weeks engagement at the Lyric the atre fast night. This play, never pro- duced here before at popular prices. started like a winner. Many critics declare tt is the best thing Gecrgie Cohan has produced.
 " t9ff1 Lowell Sherman in the title role and Miss Inez Ragan account ting for him, the show certainly went well here. The part is an ideal Sherman part. The Calburn company'S leading man had little difficulty in scoring. His nasty engagement to the design ing Mrs. Gerard" who is old enough to be his mother, deal in vintage which cost him $2,323, the Jonesyille lemonade, and dozens of other incl dents gave him opportunities to get laughs which he did not miss
 Edward Darney was clever. in the part of Robert Wallace, = Broad way's'' friend. He made his first ap- pearance here last night. Katherine Webb was as popular as ever as .Broadway's" temporary hancee, Fred Roland, the globetrotting butler, made the best of his part. Miss Inez Ragan was more charming than ever in her summery outfit of white and pink. As l the accountant of the chewing gum factory she was winsome. She seemed more girlish in her part than in any other she has taken while here
 George Barnum and Miss Emma De Veal, as Judge and Mrs. Spotswood, J were quaint Their conception of an old New England couple was certainly true to life. Broadway Jones' will give you a pleasant evening. There are many laughs in it, but of a more gentle nature than those of @StoI 1 Thief The love themes which are in | terwoven. in the comedy are sufficient 1 ly interesting to grip both young and l-old. The play is carefully staged George Barnum's skilfuI direction be ing in evidence All .of the four acts are set with all the care of the orig 1 ina1 production.
 Broadway Jones' will be played every afternoon and evening thi l week.

How Soldiers at Local Fort Craved Goodies of Sea-

With the season of bounteous re- pasts. tables loaded with the succulent turkey, duck, goose and suckIing-pig, upon us, and with the brightness of table illumination flickering upon faces that are happy, we may look back one hundred years to Bridge port when it was but 8 village, and in danger from the attack of the British in the war of 1872.
 From the columns of the quaint little paper then called the Repub1i- the doings on the Great Lakes, in London and Paris, an item that is in dark contrast with the present day celebration
 Bridgeport at that time was includ- ed in a, small area on both sides of small in comparison with those of to- day, and Wells Tongue, upon which the plant of the Locom bile Company now stands was far from the environs of the little village of Bridgeport.
 There in Fort Defense'' were Chartered soldiers of the United States, far from their friends, and destined to pass a. far from happy day as is evidenced by the appeal which appeared in the issue of this paper un- der date of November 80, 1914 as fol- lows:

OUR NAVY AND JAPAN's.

Again we are reliably informed by
the agents OF the gun factories and
armor plate makers that Japan is
about TO declare war upon the United
States. The pitiable condition Of the
American navy is pointed to as an in
vitation to the Japanese to begin hos.
tilities. One alarming report from
Washington points out the fact that
the Japanese need to strike before the
Panama Canal is completed
We have heard all this before and
so often that it has become rather
soothing. instead OF exciting. II might
be proper TO inquire how IL. happens
that the American navy. on which we
have spent for the past ten years some
three times as much as Japan has
spent on hers. IS in such a helpless
and inefficient state? II over one hun.
dred million dollars a year does not
give us n good navy. will a hundred
and twenty million dollars do it?

SPEAKER GEORGE AND THE
LEGISLATURE.

: In another column OF the Intelli-
: gencer to-day appears a communica-
ton from Hon. Taylor George. speaker
OF the House OF Delegates. Mr..
. George deals with the proposition to
scall an extra session OF the Legisla-
: ture or rather propounds some ques-
tons concerning the same. The In
telligencer has a very high regard
in the ability and good Judgment OF
Speaker George. but doubts the wis
dom OF Mr. Georges proposed plan
TO call an extra session.
Concerning the measures which Mr..
George advocates and which he be-
lieves should have the attention or
an extra session. the Intelligencer has
frequently stated that it heartily ap-
proves. IL favored and supported a
production tax upon oil and gas long
xbefore Mr.. George became speaker or
the House OF Delegates. or was at all
active in this particular cause. II IA
vors and has favored a primary cleo
b ton law for many years. Concerning
!. the finances of the state. the InteIlI.
;, gencer believes Il has as accurate in.
= formation as Mr.. George or any one
a else. Governor Hatfield Is using all
possible methods OF conserving the
states revenues. and is certainly as
accurately informed as TO the financial
needs OF the state as any one else.
; We can safely leave to him the project
= 10 call an extra session OF the Legis-
lature II the states finances make

With all due respect 10 Speaker

proposal TO call an extra session Of
'the Legislature without first consult
ing the Governor was. at least. i'll
timed II must be apparent that 10
secure any effective action from an
extra legislative session, a definite
legislative program must be under
consideration and public sentiment
needs to be strongly crystallized in

that Mr. George will not abate his
-energy and enthusiasm in behalf OF a

will have need in this state for a great

OF such enthusiasm before we secure
