to a collection being taken up during

We must realize that Bridgeport is no
longer small city but is one of con
siderable size and that her problems
are very complex. / am not in favor
of vaudeville or dramatic perforrn+
ing in any particular the excise laws
and others which are destined to the
good order of the community.
In view of all this expansion of our.
city believe that steps should be
taken to present to the world at large
the superiority of the diversified in
terests of Bridgeport, and of the at
fractions to conservative people and
industries to locate here, our city's
ability to meet the needs in every
line Of enterprise being beyond all
question. Other cities spend large
sums of money in proeIairning their
own peculiar advantages, and I feel
that Bridgeport should profit by the
same progressive policy Competition
between cities, just. as between indf-
vidulls, is very keen; and we should
lose no opportunity to strengthen
Bridgeport in presenting her distinc-
tive advantages
I feel sure that as we enter upon
this new councilmanic year, that it is
with desire to serve Bridgeport and
her many interests to the best of our
ability. Ours is a responsible and
peculiar position for Bridgeport is
confronted with a crisis and on how
well we shall solve these many prob

and attractions to the outside world.

THRILLS GALORE IN
FAMOUS CROOK PLAY
AT LYRIC THEATRE

| The judgement of those who attend
ed the first performance here of
s.FSick-In,'' willard Mack's great crook
play if applause is a criterion. was
the very best production that Cecil
Spooner's company has given this sea-
son and that, it was one of the most
thrilling plays that have ever come to
! the city. t'Kick-In'' is made up of
four spontaneous acts throughout
which the interest does not lack one
second. It treats of, crooks and their
dealings with the police. Their loyal
ty to each other is shown, also their
fear and hatred of the police. Then
there are the police, themselves, the
hardened official. the rough, heartless
land dishonorable detective and, in
contrast, a detective who is willing to
give the unfortunate the benefit of the
doubt #@4
There are a hundred little touches
which make the play more true to
human nature and there is plenty of
hunor supplied by the witty lines
Of the Irish 1andlady, Mrs. Ha11oran
and her daughter Daisy. The play
is conferred about young man who,
wrong and served his term in the
penftentiary. Then he married a
good girl who is helping him to live
straight. The companions Of his
former days, have proved his best
friends in the first days of his strug-
gle to get up in the world again and
he and his wife could not desert them
nor refuse to harborN one who has
been wounded and for whom the po-
lice are searching.
Chick Hewes, the former crook is
played by PeI1 Trenton in his char
asteristic method. while Miss Spoon
er is wholly charming and convincing
as Molly, the loyal young. wife In
the very dramatic part of Myrtle SyI-
vester, Miss BeuIah Monroe scores a
big hit. Robert Lawrence, who usu-
ally manages to play an unsynapa tf1et-
ic part, is seen as whip Fogarty,
the hard hearted detective. Miss
Edna May Spooner. sister of Miss Ce-
Gil. was again welcomed to the cast
in the part Of Memphis Bessie. Phil
ip Leigh. as Charley Cary, brother of
Molly. has another Of the dope fiend
parts which he is so apt at portray
ing,
The part of the deputy commission
er, Carvey, was played by Charles Hill
ton, a new member of the cast Fred
er1ck CLAYTON was Jack, Diggs, the de-
tective who was willing to believe in
and Muriel Valentine had the particu-
larry comical parts of Mrs. Hal1oran
and Daisy. G.. Lewis Ungerer was Old
Tom, the doornan. and George Kelly
was Gus.
