This means that girls, as well as boys, may strive for the cash prizes for the best im- personation of Charley Chaplin. the film comedian. N
 That there are lots of Bridgeport CTS who think they can "do'' Chap lin. stunts is evidenced by the fact that dozen applicants have applied for permission to show their wares next Tuesday evening.
