NEW DANCING PAVILION

Wednesday evening of this week the new dancing pavilion at Lordship, just completed, will be formally opened, and there will be dancing every even ing for the first week, and later Mon day, Wednesday and Saturday even- ings until further notice. This new pavilion has a clear dancing floor 12O by 60 feet, one of the largest in Con- necticut, and perfect for dancing. Murray's orchestra has been engaged for the season to furnish the music, and will also play every afternoon at the bathing pavilion. This combina- tion of music, bathing, followed by dancing, is one which is hard to beat and not equaled anywhere else near Bridgeport. The bathing beach is one of the finest along the sound and al- lows of bathing at any stage of the tide. There is ample accommodation for a large number of bathers, and after the dip you can join in the dance. Prof. Guilty is in charge of the dan cling pavilion and will conduct his summer school at Lordship. .Lordship is easily reached by the trolley line in Hollister avenue taking you direct to the beach.

AMBROSE LUGGAGE
 SHOP IS FINEST IN THE NUTMEG STATE
Everything In Leather May Be Found at New Fairfield
 Avenue Store.

The Ambrose Luggage Shop, a store where quality 1eatherware will be dis pensed at reasonable prices, opened auspiciously Monday. This handsome new store is located at ZSS Fairfield avenue, opposite the Blue Ribbon gar age, and despite the terrific heat goodly crowd visited the store during the day to extend their good wishes for continued success, and to share in the special offerings of standard lug gage. Each visitor left the store with a handsome souvenir. To the women Anthony s Ambrose presented with his compliments a leather purse with several compartments and a hand strap for safety carrying. To the men MT. Ambrose presented a leather bill fold with compartments for change. stamps and identification cards. These little gifts bore no advertising marks of any description. It was the idea of Mr. Ambrose to present a memento of sufficient worth that no mark would be necessary to call to mind the source of the gift. That his thought bore fruit was evidenced by the ex pressions of satisfaction from various recipients. A few of the souvenirs are yet available and will be presented while they last to- all visitors.
 The store itself presents a handsome appearance. The casual observer is attracted by the awning, a creation of the Connecticut Manufacturing Co.,, made at their factory, 157 Stratford avenue, under the personal super vision of William J. O'Connell. It is so different from those about, it that its uniqueness is pronounced. The show window is prettily arranged and the signs on the window and door are most noticeable.
 The real surprise comes when one enters the door. The quality of the stock is emphasized by the rich ebony fixtures with the. dazznng mirror
 background all of which add to the attractiveness of the wares displayed. No matter which way one looks some
 unique leather novelty, travelling bag, wardrobe trunk, suit case, ladies' hand bag, motor restaurants and a thousand other things in leather meet the gaze In fact it would be difficult to end the strike of 45,0Oo makers
 that is. not to be had in variety at this complete luggage shop.
 The store is in charge of j. G. Chambers, who has had wide experi- ence in the leather field in both New York and Philadelphia. MT. Ambrose
 has adapted as a slogan Quality a Feature and Price a Factor" and if one is a judge of leather values it is at once apparent that this new store is living up to the slogan.
 | All trading here must be right and
 satisfactory in every sense for every article is sold on positive money back guarantee. With twentieth cen tury traditions as a bulkwark, the i Ambrose Luggage Shop is surely des- ! tined to long and successful busi- ness career

Will Post Lists
 of Non-Delivered
 Mail More Widely

The lists of non-deliverable letters because the addresses cannot be To- cated, will hereafter be posted in all branch and number sub-stations of the post office in accordance with in structions received from the post of flee department at Washington yes- terday. Heretofore the lists have been posted only in the main office. It is believed that a wider distribution of the lists will result in more of them being delivered.
 The average weekly list contains about 250 names. Most of these let ters are said to be improperly di- rected.
 Postmaster Greene has suggested that since married women's names are not in, the directory, they should have their mail in their husbands name, as Mrs. John Brown" rather than Mrs. Mary Brown"

Amusements
POLES

n Trovatore-verdi's great opera is pleasing Poli audiences. With Agnes Robinson in the leading role and cast of 1 6 persons the production pres ented by s. Avatabile is a pleasing de- parture into the operatic fields that has met with instant response from the many music lovers of Bridgeport It will be shown for the last time at the three performances today.
 Of great importance on the program is that intensely interesting drama of two continents '"The Daring of Diana" with Anita Stewart. This wonderful ly talented actress is seen in a versa tile and highly artistic characteriza- ton during five parts in which many situations are unfolded with thrill and sensation.
 Edna Northlane and Joe Ward have captured the hearts of all those who have witnessed their classy perform ance of song, dance and pianologue. Miss Northlane is well named the Mary Pickford of Vaudeville"
 -Ota Gygi,' court violinist to the King of Spain, is a genius with the violin bringing classical selections into direct harmony with his audiences. Gygi is one of the real musicians who, until he entered vaudeville was of the belief that the only place a true musician was appreciated was upon the concert Stage. At the completion of his first American tour. the belief was shatter- ed and from all appearances GygPs genufrte talent is highly appreciated in Bridgeport as elsewhere.
 Tsovv, TYaver1v R Com r1auy have a convulsive sketch that is we'll con- ceived and ably executed by cast ot three people, and Montrose & sardell offer a complete act of song, dance and cycling. -
 Altogether the performance at Poli's theatre is such as to amuse all classes with particular emphasis upon music and instrumental selections.

PLAZA.

1t will be well worth your while to drop into the Plaza sometime to- day if only to see Bessie Barriscale and William Desmond in "The Pay ment," their latest Triangle accom- plishment and easily the most re- markable sex play in years. It is a play that holds a moral for all, both the man and the woman. though it makes its strongest appeal to the woman, and the way it is presented by this wonderfully talented pair will keep you in real throes of excitement ysri1 the final scenes. 1t is in five s&rts and shown in addition to di- versified and delightful vaudeville program which is headed by Jack Ward and his American Minstrels" in a mir stre1 first-part that has a little on all the rest for it is pleas ingly unique, has quintette of

PARK


 ularity is demonstrated by the fact that notwithstanding'the extreme heat of the week, people have been turned away by hundreds. Every theatre g9er in the city seems desirous of see- ing Miss Spooner's production of Three Weeks" Especially this being the fiftieth week of the season, and closing until Labor day.
 Miss Spooner's playing of the diff cult role of the Queen of Sardalia" and The Lady," is excellent, in fact the best the little star has yet been seen in, while Pell Trenton, as "Paui Verdayne, gives a magnificent rem dlt1on of one of the best parts in winch he has appeared in this season The entire cast is a most commenda- ble one.
 In the part of the dissipated King of Sardalia," Harold Safter gives a masterly rendition of chara cter which requires delft handling. in or der not to overdraw it, in which this sterling actor succeeded splendidlv. Frederic Clayton, as "Dimetry," again demonstrates his versatility, in this very serious character, quite diff ferent one from, that which this fa- vorite is usually seen in. The comedy line or course, Rita Villers was ex- cellent as Anna" as was Joseph Ken : nedy, as "Sir Charles Verdayne" and Russell Bingham as "Petroyitch Q . Lady Henrietta verdayne." Helen Tilden was splendid and Clyde Arm strong gave an artistic performance of Capt. Mark Grigsby." Scenically. the production was one of spectacular splendor. particularly, the third act, which represented Ven etian atmosphere, with moving gon- dolas, accompanied by vocal and in- strumental numbers of a highly at- tractive calibre.

ANIMAL STATUTES
 IN SPARKS CIRCUS

The Sparks Circus, which is billed to give two exhibitions here on both Friday and Saturday have many nov cities and new features this season, among which is the justly famous Woodford's Animal Statutes.
 This display consists of snow-white Arabian stallions and pedigreed white English setter dogs. There are three of these acts, exactly alike, one in each ring, and from an artistic sense easily hold the position of the most beautiful display of the entire circus program.
 A number of different hunting scenes, and the wardrobe, trappings and paraphernalia being. in the purest of white give an appearance of marble that leaves a lasting impression of beauty with the audience.
