first woman automobile saleslady'
as a New York reporter so deity
put it. She can take car apart and
/ put 1t back together again without
having any parts left over. Most
men have dozen or 70 left over.
Not many years ago she decided
that the auto business was going to
be 10 the Pacific coast what the NOV
les are to Los Angeles so she bought
her car and not only learned to
drive but how to take it all apart.
She did this several times week
and then established an agency.
Now she has sixteen branches and
IL seven years has made enough
money to retire. She recently sold
the business to a group of Frisco
capitalists and all alone she motored
from Frisco TO New York. She had
three breakdowns but being her own
mechanician It bothered her not one
whit. At the Hotel Majestic she told
a group of reporters that she did not
see anything unusual in her work.
MY goodness" she exclaimed
naively, "all western women are out
making money. You don't mean to
tell me New York hasn't any sales
ladies who sell automobiles? No in

GEN. TOWNSEND OF
 BRITISH ARMY MODELS
 LIFE AFTER NAPOLEON

Writing about General Townshend, of Kut renown, in a London paper g. correspondent says: "Townshend has always attributed his success as sol- dier to his constant study of the cam paigns of Napoleon, a practice which he has long followed, for regular period of every day, wherever he has happened to be serving. He has mas tered the Napoleonic batt1ef1eldS at first hand, and is an ardent collector of Napoleonic literature and relics. Every one who knows him is familiar with the sight of the. paraphernalia. of his studies in peace time-the text books and maps, spread on the ground or on an enormous table, to which he devotes his morning hours.
 During the present campaign his letters have been full of comparisons with the difficulties which confronted Napoleon. But Townshend possesses other qualities besides his zeal for his profession, and one of them at least must have stood him in good stead during these anxious months. He is indomitabIy serene and cheerful. a, lover of amusement himself, and well able to amuse others.
 'In London and Paris he is nearly as we'll known in the world of play wrights and actors as in the world of soldiers. He can sing a good song and tell a good story.'

PLAZA

"A Child of the Paris Streets is the somewhat me1odramatic title of an unusually absorbing and well acted photoplay of the Triangle brand to be shown at the Plaza the latter half of the week commencing with today's matinee. "A Child of the Paris Streets gives some thrilling insight into the training and code of ethics of the Apaches, as the notorious gang sters of the French capital are called and the action is rapid that ones interest is held high from the first to the1 ast scene. Robert Harron, Mae Marsh and Fully Marshall hold the leading roles in the production, which is in five acts.
 Positively the greatest, most fac1- hating and most elaborate1y complete girl act ever booked at the Plaza is '"The Maids From Mexico,'' a merry whirI of song and laughter in which the services of IA capable young artists are required. t"The Maids From Mexico" is not a mere musical come dietta for it has all the attributes of the musical comedy production with a chorus of 10 pretty, shape1y show girls, a repertoire of new song and dance numbers, a rich abundance of laughter and a scenic establishment that is undeniab1y gorgeous in every respect. It is an act of season, alone we'll worth the price of ad- mission and it should pack the cosy Plaza to the doors at every perform ance for the remainder of the week.
 Then come the Big Four, a quartet of male Voices of beautiful tone and strong calibre, to be heard in a spIen- did1y diversified repertoire of up-to- date numbers. They put plenty of comedy over as we'll and should have little difficulty in scoring successfully.
 Next are the famous Kraa1s in their de1ectab1e novelty entitled Nearly an Orchestral and then the Eatons with their two canine assistants to offer their unusually funny skit.
 With a brand new, two part Key stone comedy on top of all these the Plaza is in for the record crowds the seasn.

WEST END

In this photoplay Miss Frederick adds new role to her remarkable screen repertoire, that of ''Madge," a gypsy maid.

Her husband suspecting the love affair existing between his wife and Harold, goes to seek her.

Amusements
POLES

Direct from the Palace theatre, New York, following triumphant coast-to-coast tour, '"The Bride Shop" returns to PolPs today for a three days engagement. This famous mu- sica1 comedy success by B: A. Ro1fe is the same production which played at Polls, some time ago, under the name of ''The Fashion Plates. The name has been changed to avoid con fusion with offerings bearing similar titles, but otherwise, the production IS just the same the one which SCOT ed such a signal success here. An drew Toombes, the funny comedian; Lola Wentworth, prima donna; Basil Linn, as the baron; and the 16 fash ion plates are again to be seen in this daintiest of all musical comedy successes.
 Dorothy Bernard, formerly a stock favorite among Bridgeporters, will be starred in the six part film drama The Sins of Men, a, string arraign- ment of the evil that men do. Sup porting Miss Bernard will be Stuart Holmes and all star cast of film fla vorites.
 Another important feature of the bill will be MT. and Mrs. Norman Phillips in their one-act comedy ''Swwets to the Sweet This delight full pIaylet of home life is by Marie and Frances Nordstron, the latter a former member of the Pon Players here. --..--.s. =@.. E.,

scenic production. RehearsaIs have been well under way for the past ten days and perfect performance should be the result. Special Motion Pictures, Sunday Night
 The great Francis x. Bushman and his delightful and charming co-star, Beverly Bayne, will next be seen at this theatre in a thrilling romance of army life from the pen of Ralph D. Paine. It is not too much to say that MT. Bushman, despite his num- berless successes on the screen, in his masterly delineation of the sturdy and resolute character of Sergeant Ken dall, the enlisted man, who dares and suffers much for the sake of prtnci- pie, we'll as for the girl of his hearts desire, has achieved one of the most notable artistic triumphs of his career, Miss Bayne, as always, is supreme in her portrayal of the gentle, 1ovable maiden, who is the in spiration as well as the admiration of all those around her. Admirers of both stars will find in ''The Wall Be tween,' all that appealed to them in Man and His SouI'' and other Metro pictures in which MT. Bushman and Miss Bayne have had the stellar parts, and very, very much more.
 The story of '"The Wall Between which was produced by Quality Pic lures Corporation under the direction of John w. Noble for the Metro pro gram, deals with the enlistment of John Kendall, son of once wealthy banker, in the United States army, and of the barrier which he finds there between himself and those, who in civil life, would have been glad to have been counted as his equal How, having won quick promotion and a fur1ough, he meets and falls in love with beautiful girl, while garbed in civilian dress, only to be humiliated by an officer of his regiment for dar- ing, while an enlisted man, to pose as a gentleman.
 How, in the dangerous days that fol- low, his rival. Lieut.. Burkett, the of- ficer, who sought to shame him and later to disgrace him in the service of his country, shows himself to be not only a snob and an upstart, but a coward as well, and how in the end despised sergeant proves himself the better man, both asia soldier. and a lover forms a story of unusual and absorbing interest.

LYRIC

HORSE STILL HOLDS
 HIS OWN IN CIRCUS

Will the automobile ever supp1ant Ehe circus horse?
 Mot q chance in the world ''. accord ing to Tom Lynch, the ''boss hostIer,'' ,'' with the Barnum and Bailey shows coming to Bridgeport on June g. Lynch insists that the automobile will new CT be made that can accomplish the seemingly impossible feat of hauling circus parapherna1ia off of real old fashioned gumbo mud lot, such as the show frequently encounters in all parts of the country. No motor driven ve- hicle, however powerful, can do the work of a hook rope team of thirty, forty or fifty horses, as is often neces- Bary on rainy day. Pulling power, and plenty of it, is what the circus needs, and the powerful motor simply can't make good.
 The Barnum & Bailey circus car sies approximately 75s horses this year, of which more than 500 are baggage stock" or work horses. The others, known as the ring stock" are the high bred performing animals. The baggage stock are all thoroughbreds, mostly Percherons, valued at not less than $200 a head, and they receive the best of care and attention. They haul the heavy red wagons, loaded with the canvases and other properties, also the menagerie cages to and from the circus grounds in the parade. When the circus lot is located near the rail- road crossing where the show is un- loaded, the work of the horses is com parative1y easy, but when there is a haul of two or three miles, going and coming, and long parade route, then they earn their hay. Sometimes the roads are paved and sometimes they are nothing but endless stretches of black sticky mud, but a circus horse must take the bad with the good and do his '@bits uncompIainingly
 Mo- the motor will never suppIant Ghe circus horse. Can you imagine h circus parade without horses7 A
