Scene From "The spoilers'' At Polls Today.

There are so many powerfully gripping scenes in 'sThe Spoilers the photo -dramatizatio of Rex Beach's famous book, which opens a three days engagement at Polls theatre today, that it is hard to decide which is the most enthralling. Some say it is the escape of Helen Chester from a liner in mid-ocean; others think it is the dynamiting of a whole town; still others feel that the terri fc jhand-to- hand fight between Glen ister and McNamara in which it Is plainly apparent that real blood is spilled is the big punch of the pie ture. And one might go still fur ther throughout the entire nine reels of sensational incidents and pick out scenes that keep the spectator straight up in his seat, fearful of missing a single bit of action in the wonderful production. Certainly the manage ment of the theatre is to be congrat- u1ated upon it's alertness in securing this massive picture for its patrons. Not only is it the most expensive mo- ton picture production ever made in America built is more elaborate and spectacular film as well.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-06-17

The story which has been read by millions of book lovers all over the world, deals with events in Alaska among the gold mines and to get that pronounced realism that the story de- nanded in picture production the SeEg Company which produced the film actually, sent the company of players to Alaska where amid the snow-c1ad regions the story was DOT trayed in such a, manner that when Rex Beach saw the completed film on the screen for the first time he ex- pressed his delight saying: 'fSplendtd! That is exactly as I pictured the story in my mind when I wrote the story" "
 A strong cast of players portray the different chara cters of the gripping story headed by the well-known dra- matic actor, William Farnum, who plays the part of G1enister, and Kath- lyn Williams, who appears as Cherry Malotte, the famous Alaskan favor ite who held full sway over the rough miners in that region. Such pictures as t"The Spoilers are so seldom en- joyed that it would seem that every body in town will be anxious to wit ness it during it's engagement.

eJAKEu MARSHES, BILL.

In Justice O'Brien's court Saturday Tn the suit of Jacob Marsh svs. Adam Gerst, in which the plaintiff sued to recover $9.5O for services, judgment was given in favor of the defendant to recover costs. Counsel gave notice of appeal. Marsh claimed that he agreed with Gerst to watch the 1urn- Lber. being used in the construction of the First German Lutheran church on Harriet street. He says the agree ment was to pay him 50 cents a, week as, he was a, night watchman and special policeman. His ser vices were not satisfactory to the defendant, who alleged that there was more lumber stolen than. at any other time.
 The plaintiff claimed that he had been employed for 19 weeks which at the rate of 50 cents per week would i make $9.5O. The defendant claimed that Marsh was paid in full and as he only worked two weeks and was to receive but 25 cents a week. The { evidence showed that part of the time Marsh claimed to be watching g was after the edifice had been com pleted.
 LOCAL BASEBALL

The home team fell upon the Yale pitcher in the first inning and made several runs. In the second inning the visitors got on a batting streak and found Stewart for four runs. After that the local slab artist was as tight as a drum and the game wound up with the score at 21 to in favor of the horne team.
