Four million theatregoers have wit messed performances of Bayard Veil ler's enthraTling melodrama, Within the I1aw'' It has been produced for the silent drama. and will be seen at the Strand theatre, Main and High streets all this week. Alice Joyce will be seen in the role of Mary Tur- ner, the shop girl, who, although in noctnt, is 'trailroaded'' for three years Ito prison, and Harry Mercy will be seen as Joe Carson, tn forger who goes to the. chair for ''croaking" the stool pigeon, English Eddie.
 There have been many famous | Mary Turner's of the legitimate pro

 as Jane Cowl, Helen Ware Margaret
 Ellington, Emily Stevens, Clara Joel Muriel Starr, A1ine NcDermott, Cath erine Tower and Edith Goodall But there will be but one Mary Turner

PLAZA

Your sweetheart is at the Plaza to- day. Yes, we mean Mary Pickford, Americas little darling,'' and she has the greatest vehicle of her career in "A Romance of the Redwoods," ]" which was directed by no less famous parsonage than Cecil B. DeMille, who is responsible for that great tri- umph, Joan, the Woman
 Whenever Mary Pickford is billed at theatre, capacity attendance &s recorded, and such will unquestiona- bly, be the case at the Plaza during the entire week, especially when it is taken into consideration that this is the best picture she has ever pro- duced.
 A very pleasing feature of the Plaza programs are the O. Henry Stories which have corpe to be regarded as drawing cards in themselves. One of these two-reel Limitations adapted from these delightful short stories will be shown in conjunction with the Pickford picture this week.
 | Those who appreciate a little com edy in their entertainment will find opportunity galore in the two-reel Mack Sennett-Keystone, "A Maiden's Trust" and also in the MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew comedy, "Her Anniver- sary.''

LYRIC

One of those Irish romances con- stantly linked with the history of the Emerald Isle is unfolded in the play, "Isle O. Dreams" which will be pre- sented at the Lyric this week. As an added attraction and to further as- sure giving the play in which Chaun- cey Olcott starred for several seasons a faultless presentation Manager Isham has secured the services of Bernard Daily who, the critics say, is Americas greatest Irish singer and the logical successor to Chauncey Ol- colt.
 The piece possesses all the features which go to make a successful pro- duction having a good plot, intermin- gIed with comedy, love and tragedy and presenting several opportunities for MT. Daly to display his sweet tenor voice. If there is any particular old Irish song that you would Nike to hear sung as it never has been sung before, make a request in writing and it will be handed to Mir Daily Among the songs which he has found are most favored by his audience and which he will sing are Sweet Rose of Killarney" ''The call of the Wind,'' Sweet Irish Eyes of Blue," "The Fair ies of Ireland' and "The Wearing oi the Green"

Wonderful battle scenes, snapped on the European war front will form the feature of the great photo drama Treason" which has been brought to the Poli theatre for the benefit of Bridgeport patrons this week. The plot is laid around the heroism of military signalman in the war between nations evidently meant to stimulate those now fighting abroad. The keenness of all producers to en- act realistic scenes has caused the ac- tors to endanger even their lives for | the purpose.
 Pretty Lois Wilson, leading lady of | the Bluebird company which has pro- duced the great picture under the di- rection of Allen Holubar who also | takes the leading role will be recall ed by lovers of the screen as one of the most attractive and talented girls in pictures.
 | With Joseph Girard these stars of the film world will lead a clever com pany through the sensational details of Treason and will also offer one of the most sensational automobile chases ever recorded on a screen Ewhere actual and not stimulated speed is shown clearly to the be- l holder.

"A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS

"A Daughter of the Gods" hailed as the last word in magnificent nov ing picture sensation Is announced as the attraction at the Lyric thea tre for eight days starting June IT.
 In this picture beautiful, featuring Annette Kellermann, William Fox, its creator, has spent $1,000,000 in mak- ing it something that must stand for a long time to come as an epoch mak- ing event in the world of reel life Some of the sea pictures in which Miss Kel1ermann figures, with 200 mermaids, for beauty of composition, lighting and general artistry, have never been equalled either on the screen or the painted canvas
 Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking may be gained from the knowledge that 10000 persons, 5000 horses, a fleet of steamships and an entire island were needed to properly stage this titan of classics.
 No area in the United States proved large enough. or suitable, for the purpose of proper production so MT. Fox leased from the British govern ment an entire island at Kingston. Jamaica, in order that no detail might be left out of this perfect film.

. T. V 7'- PARK

For their fifth week at the Park
 theatre the Spooner Stock Co. will
 present tonight and the balance of
 the remainder of the week, '9The But terf1y on the Wheel" which needs no introduction to playgoers of this coun- try.
 There have been many trial scenes
 on the stage. The one in GA Butterfly on the Wheel' takes rank as the most
 interesting and graphic of any ever attempted. This is true not only of 1 the treatment but the story because from the beginning of the trial the little woman has the sympathy Of the audience and this sympathy is ap. parently outraged by the methods of | the prosecution. It is a play, which the New York Times said, is not only l worth while seeing once but several l times.
 "A Butterfly on the Wheel'' came originally from London where MT. 1 Waller played one of the leading roles. In passing it should be said l that it's long stay in London induced I MT. Waller to stage the play in New 1 York which he did in the face of an unsuccessful effort on the part of an American manager to produce the | piece in Chicago. The reception of l the play in New York was one of the
 surprises of the season and ,immedi- ately "A Butterfly on the Wheel l caught on remaining over six months i on Broadway. The play is noted for l its realistic courtroom scene which
 shows the examination of the But terf1y,'' a frail little woman of great beauty who has been sued for divorce. The encounter between the wife and the prosecuting counsel is one of the
 finest pieces of acting seen on the
 stage in many years. Matinees Tues day, Thursday and Saturday.
