NOVEMBER EXPORTS
 SHOW AN INCREASE

November export figures seem likely to show a considerable increase over those of October and may ap- proximate the high record of Sep- tember in the total value of the mer- .handise exported. A compilation =hows that the exports. of the port of New York in November are about $8,O0O, 900 above those of October, while those of the Port of Philadel- phia also show a large gain in the month of November, being more than double those of the corresponding month of last year. War supplies continue to be the chief feature of this increase both at New York and Philadelphia, while wheat and flour show a reduction compared with last year, this reduction being due in large part to our small wheat crop in 1916. Should other ports of the country show increases corresponding to those of New York and Philadel- phia, the total for November will probably exceed the $491, 100000 rec ord of October and may approximate the high record figures of September which totaled $515,000,050.

'tWar Brides" filmed from Marion Craig Wentworth's great drama by Herbert Brenon, has become the talk of Bridgeport Polls theatre is crowded thrice daily for the presen- tation of this wonderful screen drama in which Mime. NaZimoya is starred.
 aNazimova is at her best in this ~isnt-paru drama. The limitations of away in the screen production and Nazimova's unusual talents are given the widest range. Her presence dom mates the whole photoplay. She has an excellent supporting cast.
 While War Brides has the world war for it's background there is nothing of actual warfare in the pie ture. It presents in a most gripping way the story of how war brought out the mother love in frail little woman to such an etent that she de- fled an empire.
 War Brides will be shown twice this evening, in addition to the pro- gram of vaudeville. The vaudeville features include: Roger Travis Ss Co.,, in series of mystifying illusions; Grace DeWinters, presenting ven- triloquial novelty; Hodge and Lowell in songs and dances, and Castellane Brothers, sensational acrobats.
 Pathe's Pictorial News also is a feature of the photoplay program.
