POLPS TFIEATER

Tonight and tomorrow hold forth to Br1dgeporters their last opportunities to see D'Annunzios Spectacular pao- toplay Cabiria. ,, which has brought crowded houses to Polls theatre al this week. The three remaining per formances promise to be the banner ones in point of attendance. thouA there are few choice seats yet re maining for the three shows.
 stCabiria'' has been a revelation tt Bridgeport. The stupendous produc- tion is the talk of the city, and ev- anywhere is heard conmendatfon for Mir. Polls enterprise in bringing it to the city That his efforts are ap- preciated is shown by the crowded houses that. have greeted each pre-
 or copside erabIe interest, dn addition to the picture itself, is the augment ed symphony orchestra which 1nteI- prets the score written especially for sCabiria- " There are sixteen pieces in the orchestra, and the musical end of the production is most important to a grand opera chorus to interpret the several vocal numbers, all of which have been most enthusiastically re- ceived
 sCabiria'' tells the story of the Ro- man girl chosen as a sacrifice to the God or Fire; her rescue by the slave ofsea Roman patrician; her capture and incarceration in Carthage; the taking of the city by the, Romans and her ultimate return to her ben efactor.
 This pretty love story, however, is but incidental to the tremendous ac- ton of the picture. Mt ,Etna is seen In eruption; Roman battleship feet is burned to the waters edge; the 0f "a TA1 Carthage, and many other huge ,1r1- dertakings are accomplished in the action of the play. It is just two and one-ha1f hours of thrills at the revelations of this masterpiece of the screen.
 If you haven't seen s'Cabiria'' see 1t tonight or tomorrow. It is the great est motion picture work ever seen here, and must be seen to be appre- ciated. sH

 Andy McC1oud, the Irish Minstrel. z took care of his spot on the program in conmendable fashion and left little to be wished for in the line of laughs for he furnished them by the score.
