W. ALL LIN DOS44 Via
VISION-RING
BY MILTON BRONNER
New York, Oct. Woodrow
Wilson was right in advocating the
eight-hour law, and the Republicans
are wrong in seeking to make capital
out of it. Seventy Republicans in
the house voted for it and not one
Republican senator took steps to OPP
pose it. The Republicans were more
than willing to put the blame on the
Democrats, but at heart they knew
that eight hour legislation in most
industries must prevail. As a mat
ter of cold, clear fact just such law
was bound to come. 1t is simply
matter of social justice"
The speaker was Welding Ring,
twice president of the New York
Produce exchange and twice presi-
dent of the Exporters and Importers
association. He is senior member of
the firm of Mailer & Quereau, which
exports steel and other products to
all ports in Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa.
Ring is noted in New York as one
of the greatest authorities on all mat
ter of foreign shipping. His views on
the eight-hour law show that not all
men in big business are without Vi
sion beyond the immediate dollar.
wilson's defeat would be a ma
tionaI calamity" he said. ''In the de-
Iicate stage of International affairs it
would be an exceedingly dangerous
thing to swap horses in midstream,
to exchange a man whose acts and
plans we know for one about whom
we know nothing and who tells us
nothing definite as to what he would

LYRIC

Cecil spooner's company at the Lyric theatre is playing Under Cover this week, with Cecil in the principal role. stUnder Cover is a great police-crook play. It tells the story of a young woman, a member of New York's smartest set, forced to become 8 secret agent of the gov eminent in order to save her sister who had committed a crime. She aids in the detection of a, man who smuggled a $20O,OO0 necklace into this country, then fell in love with the smugg1er and had to choose be- tween her lover and her sister.
 The plight of the stnugg1e.-, too, presents a tale of absorbing interest. Knowing government agents were suspicious, in love with the girl who was trying to send him to- prison, his problem is unique. There is interest in the interwoven course of the prin- cipa1s' fate throughout.

PARK

The new summer vaudeville policy at the Park theatre opened auspicious- Iy last night with a packed house and one of the best vaudeville shows seen in Bridgeport in many a day. Every act on the bill was worthy of stellar honors Owen McGiveney, hearlded as the worlds premier protean artist, fully lived up to his billing and gave his own version of an excerpt from Dickens masterpiece, Oliver Twist, entitled 'sBil1. Sykes in which he DOT trayed seven different characters, each distinct in itself. The 1ightning-1ike rapidity of the changes enabled MT. McGiveney to give complete sketch with 1ife-Iike fidelity; he is easily the greatest quick-change artist ever seen in this city. The .ever-popu1ar Abe Atteu made new friends with a brand new mono1ogue and astounded his old ones with his speed in a three-round exhibition bout with Red Allen. Abe has lost none of his old-tinne clever ness and is still dangerous man in the ring, Vine and Temple, a pretty young girl, and a comedian of tbe nut variety were one of the hits of The bill.

EMPIRE


 ssAn' now da store ees all beelong to me-
 This was the remark of Pasquale as played by George Beban in his latest Italian characterization of -fPasquaIe. produced by the Oliver EIorosco Photoplay Co, and released on the Paramount Program featured at the Empire today
 PasauaIe is the gentle. likeab1e Italian whose smile is so contagious working always towards the goal of his ambitions, to pay off the indebetd- ness against the grocery store and then to ask Margarita, to be his wife
 To one whom he thinks is his friend he proudly boasts of his achievement He has just cleared off the last of his pledges held against his store. Now he will be able to res oluteIy ask for his reward. But the long arm of the Italian government reaches into his humble home, as well as into the home of the wealthy banker and holds him to his ale glance. Other feature photoplays.

THE PIRATE DEACON

Wagner, Pittsburgh.
 How much longer shall we see that name well up in the batting list of National league players? Long ago the men who made the pilgrimage with Hans from Louisville to Pitts burgh began to drop by the wayside
 With the exceptions of Honus, Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach, the last survivor was Charles Philippe, bet ter known as Deacon the lengthy twirler who was for many years the mainstay of the Pirate slabsters. This is the Deacon's birthday, as he was born in Ole verginny forty-four years ago today. May 23, 1872. Philippe is about two years the senior of the Flying Dutchman, and he lasted mighty long for a twirler, but it has been five years since he wore a Pirate uniform, and his valorous deeds in the box have already become ancient his tory
 The Deacon pitched for the Min neapolis club of the Western League in 1897 and 1898, and broke into the National League with Louisville in 1899. The following year. the Colonels were dropped fron> the major circuit and the best players joined the Pir- ates. Tn the bunch were four twirI- CTS, Philippe, Rube WaddeII, Pat Flaherty and Walter Woods; Chief Trimmer and Cliff Latimer catchers: Claude Ritchey and Tommy Leach infielders, and Fred Clarke and Honus Wagner, who then played in the outer garden. Leach is now the manager Of the Rochester club, and save Wag- ner, the only one of the bunch who is still making a living from baseball
 Deacon Philippe, after leaving the Pirates in 1911, wound up his notable career by managing a bunch of so- called ball players in the defunct United States league. After that the Deacon retired to a farm for time. but he soon wearied of bucolic exist ence, and returned to his old haunts in the Smoky City.

ST. LOUIS STARS AT POLO GROUNDS FOR 1ST
 TIME IN TWO SEASONS

New York, May 23-When the St. Louis Browns asmb1ed out c11 the Polo Grounds yesterday to take their work out many members of the Jones outfit saw the historic field for the first +j,,,a in two wears. At least half of the Browns wore different colors when they last played in Harlem.
 Catcher Grover Hartley and Pitcher Otev CrandalI were Giants when they last appeared on the P. G. in uniforms. That was the fifth game of the 1913 Worlds Series, when Eddie Plank beat Matty 3 to 1. The same Plank, former Athletic star, pitched for the Browns yesterday.
 Arnando Marsans and Dave Daven- port wore the red of Garry Hermann s Cincinnatis, while Ward Miller was a Chicago Cub when he last showed here in 1913. Bob Groom, when last on the Harlem field, was Walter John sons leading assistant on the Wash ington pitching staff, and Chuck Deal was a Boston Brave.
 It had been a, long time since Fielder Jones had visited the Polo Grounds in uniform. He had not inspected the local pasture since he jumped the Brooklyns during the American league war However he had bcen a frequent visitor at the Hilltop grounds, but his last visit to Manhattan was in 1908, the year Bill Donovan pitched him out of a, pennGnt on the last day of the season.

PavIowa, 'the incomparab1e,' is in Bridgeport. At Poli's yesterday the famed dance spirit made her debut i'm the films, appearing in the big pro- auction, .The Dumb Girl of Pordci."
 This production, in eight acts, offers something entirely new in the film world. PavIowa, unlike other stars, is able to bring to this famous opera all these talents that have made her SvorId-fannous In ''The Dumb Girl of Porttci," which is picturized from Au- ber's opera "Masaniello,'' the d1stin- guished danseuse has a role that of rez-s her wonderful opportunities of which she xaakes the utmost
 Supporting Mile. Pavlowa is the fla mous rsusse barre1 and @ big company of film favorites. The production is on a lavish scale that compares most favorably as spectacle with "Cabdr- ia'' superbly presented and is a most artistic treat.
 In the vaudeville program, there are features that are sure to bear a great appeal to Bridgeporters. Topping the program are "the Salon Singers an organization of artists in a delightful musical offering. Their Memories of the Opera offers them wonderful op- portunfties that serve to show to the utmost advantage their talents as -so- loists and harmonists.
 Harry and Eva Puck. old favorites here, were welcomed back. They have an offering that is up to their usual standard, epitomized by the character ization ''c1assy,'' and they got over in fine style.
 Fred and Eldray Fisher in the one act comedy fPerseverance,' were in immediate favor with a playlet that was t'dIfferent,' and which proved a real treat Jeanne, a pleasing little cornediennc, stepped right out and won a warm spot for herself in the hearts of the audience with a happy arrangement of songs.
 The Malino Twins, in a good comedy knockabout act, completed the vaude vile 5program. In addition to The Dumb Girl of Portici'' there were oth- CT good photoplays.
