A brief review of Miss FrederIck's

Aonal actress and as a heavy" she
has evidenced a phenomenal versa
tility in the roles which she has
played. Following her triumphant
debut in the Hall Game play, Miss
Frederick next appeared in Sold,
in which she played the artists wife
who risked her reputation to help her
struggling husband. 1t was a dis
hnctly sympathetic role but served
to bring out the stars wonderful
charm and grace.
Then came "zaZa" in the screen In
depreciation Of which Miss Frederick
was declared by the critics to have
surpassed in effectiveness the work
of Mrs. Leslie Carter herself. If she
made the French woman alluring,
Miss Frederick certainly surpasses
herself in Bella Donna" In which she
made the English adventures who

Railroad Calls Off
 Embargo On New York
 Terminal Shipments

At midnight tonight, according to announcement made by railroad off coals here, the freight embargo, rel ative only to shipments of goods from this city to New York terminals, will be raised.
 This is the special embargo which Was laid a week ago, on outward bound shipments. Originally it was to be effective only three days but bad weather caused it to be prolonged.
 Port Jefferson, N. Y, directly across the Sound from Bridgeport, assumed an important position in the shipping world during the recent embargo on rail and water shipments.
 Through the medium of this terminal of the Long Island railroad, which has not been affected bv embargo, the Winchester Arms Go. in New Haven and many large industries in Bridge port have been able to get direct ship ments from New York.
 So large has the shipping become that hundreds of men have found en- ployment there and several new steamers have been added to the Port Jefferson-New Haven service. The steamer Park City, coming to Bridge port, has had large cargoes.
