FitZsimmonS Said He Talked Bout With
 Hall 27 Years Ago

It was 27 years ago to-day that
 Bob Fitzsimmons fought his famous
 flake" with Jim Hall in Sydney, Australia. Although a novice at the fight game, Bob had the best of the first three rounds, but in the folN h, Hall knocked him out. Hall followed Fitz to America, and when Jim h. gan boasting of his victory over the freckled fellow, Bob retaliated by confessing that the whole affair was a fake. F'itz declared that he could have whipped Hall at any stage of the game, but that he had agreed to lose for $75, and lived up to his agreement
 If Fitz faked, he was certainly a good actor, for he deceived all the fight experts at the ringside. ,ylere is no doubt, however, that Bob was there when it came to acting-in the ring!- for he often pretended to be groggy and all in, and the deception was so thorough that his opponents were completely fooled, and left open ings which Bob was not slow to take advantage of. Hall, who died a few years ago, always declared that the Sydney fight was on the square and that he had knocked F'itz to dream land.

Son Will Occupy
 Stage With Irish
 Rebellion Lecturer

The Bridgeport people who go to hear Mrs Sheehy Skeffington at Poli's Sunday afternoon will be favored be- yond those of any other city of Con- necticut in that her little seven-year- old son, Owen, will occupy seat on the stage Owen has appeared only at the big meeting in Carnegit hall in New York a---d Fanueil hall in Boston, being kept with friends in Stamford until Mrs. Skeffington starts for the West after next week. This, in itself, will add a picturesque but pathetic touch to Mrs. Skeffington's appearance as it will furnish an additional living evidence of the ruthless cruelty at tendant on the killing of Francis Sheehy Skeffington.
 Indications are that the audience will be a very large one, and, indeed, it would be a unique, experience for Mrs. Skeffington were it anything else. Tn all her meetings so far in this coun- try she has addressed capacity audi ences and it is not likely that Bridge port will be the first place to put a spot on that record. Buying of seats went on yesterday iii a way to indicate that the local public will be out in force. Matters that are now transpir- ing in their own country give an ad- ditional value to the message she brings to America and it's effect can not be but of lasting value. It will be we'll, therefore, for those who want to hear her remarkable story of Brit ish militarism to visit the box office of Polis theatre and secure their sit tings in good season.
 Several interesting features will be introduced in addition, including brief tales by the presiding officers and vo- cal selections by MT. and Mrs. F. F. Bowe and Prof. J. J. Grattan.
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson will pre- side at this lecture and will introduce Mrs. Skeffington, besides making a brief address.

EMPIRE.

'.i have often been asked" said Sessue .Hayakawa, the noted Japan ese actor who will be seen at the Empire today, in the Jesse l.. Lasky- Paramount production of Each to His Kind,' how a Japanese can lose his national characteristics as I do in the role of the son of an East Indian Maharajah in Each to His Kind 5 It is thing that requires great deal of thought and study, because a Japanese is taught from childhood to show no emotion in times of stress, while the East Indian is portrayed as quite the opposite. In other words, I must, as an East Indian forget something that has Sbeen taught from nfancy-something that3 has become a part of me, the, same as my hair and my arms-the same as my manner of living and thinking. Instead of the stolid Jap anese, I must be animated. I must remember everything I have to do in the scene, and still remember to for get that am a Japanese. And per. haps you do not think this takes hard work and perfect concentration. I may feel my role as a Japanese-but l must forget this feeling, and feel it as an East Indian.
 .Of course the costume and the makeup have great deal to do with this for it is a strange thing and many people have told me that, as soon as one dons the clothes of an- other race, he naturally acquires many of the characteristics and man nerisms of the people who wear that style of costume. And then when see myself in the mirror as an East. Indian I can disregard a great deal of my Japanese training.
 k"The other daNs was asked, in connection with the Shakespearean tri-centenary celebration, if the Jap arlese did anything in commemoration of the anniversary of the bard, and l would like to explain that the works of Shakespeare and, Dickens and all the other famous authors are as we'll known in Japan as they a. in America, and for the past five or ten years have been read and studied in the Japanese schools, and practical ly all of the Shakespearean plays have been presented at the leading theatres in Japan. When I first came over here about eight years ago, I translated a number of them into sJapahese and then went back and presented them in my own country I played Othello first and a number of others after that, even to Shylock, in the Merchant of Venice
