LYRIC

Four acts, nine scenes, horse race.
pickinniny band and minstrel, troupe
and best of all the cleverest stock
company in Connecticut. Could any
one ask more than the prices charged
at the Lyric theatre and the above
list they have to offer? Besides all
this there will be presented this week
one OF the greatest plays in Bridge
port, one of the old standbys that
comes back about every generation
and then lies buried for another span
of years. "In Old Kentucky" is it's
name and it is replete with climatic
situations the scenes of which are laid
in the blue grass state among the
Kentucky mountains.
1t is easily the biggest thing any
stock company has ever tried to pro-
duce and Bridgeport should take this
exceptional advantage and see the
play that has been a favorite for years
and will always be well attended no
matter where shown. The scenery
used in the production is alone worth
the price of admission for it repre-
sents the result of weeks of labor on
the part OF the, scenic artist and his
assistants.
And with all this as a setting Fran
ces McGrath is the gem to- use it for
a week. The part given the winsome
leading lady is one which makes
friends for the actress no matter what
her talent and with such an artist as
Miss McGrath unprecedented results
Sare expected. AS Madge the mountain
girl she will win by sheer ability the
admiration of all who witness her
performances. Assisting her will be
David Herblin as Frank Layson.

Grand Ball Tonight.


The McEnelly Singing Orchestra,
which has made many visits to
Bridgeport during the last few years,
is unique in many ways, particularly
SO because all Of its members are ca
pable vocalists as well as the masters
Of the different instruments used dur
ing the evenings entertainment. They
each play several instruments, and
at least some portion Of every dance
number is sung. Xylophone and
saxophone trios and quartets, as well
as solos form part of tie program and
the singing is fully equal to any upon
the vaudeville stage. The music
alone is worth while visiting the ball
room for, but there is an evening of
dancing as well. -. You are cordially
invited to attend Monday evening and
assured of good time. The adj
mission is at the usual popular fig

GERMANS ARE WEARY
OF TRENCH WARFARE

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 28.-Al-
though the withdrawal of German
forces in the Ancre region may signify
merely the abandonment of tactical
ly unfavorable projection of the Ger
man line at this point another explana-
ton is suggested by Americans who
have come to Switzerland recently
after long stays in Berlin.
It is that the German retirement
may perhaps be the beginning of a
regrouping Of the Teutonic forces in
the west, with the intention of bring
ing on a decisive open field engage
ment to settle the fate of the war.
At the time of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's appointment to chief
command last year, when the CORE
spondent was in Berlin, there was
much discussion of a question the an
swer to which may be given by the
developments of the next few days.
This question concerned the field
marshals plans for concluding the
war and particularly the possibility
of some daring strategy to bring the
opposing armies out of the trenches
and substitute for trench warfare the
warfare of notion" which Won Hin
denburg favors.

London, Feb. 28.-There is sharper
resistance all along the line of the

the movement began. There is no in
dication as yet of the fixed purpose
by the Germans to make a definite
stand, but they are doing everything
possible to hold up and interfere with
the British advance.
To the rear outposts were immense

fighting with the British patrols.
The Germans prepared carefully for
their retirement, apart from choosing
the moment when spring was just be-
ginning, bringing with it new depths
of clinging mud. Belt after belt OF
barbed wire marks the German trail.
The British, however, pushed for
ward all along the eleven-mile line
stretching from south of Gommecourt
to west of LIE Transley. They pushed
further into Puiseux au Mont, south
east of Gommecourt, in which more
fires were visible. --~. .-.'.-
