Elman in Bridgeport.

Mischa Elman, the great Russian violinist, comes to Park theatre under the auspices of M. Steinert & Sons Co. for single recital, Tuesday evening, April IT.
 At 5, Mischa El1nan appeared in public in Odessa, Russia, where he had been given few lessons by his father; the precosity of the child caused him to be placed under the instruction of Fide1mann, and at the age of ten he was heard by Professor Auer, who obtained permission from the czar to allow the boy to accom- pany him to St. Petersburg ana be- come his pupil. Two years later St. Petersburg was astounded when El- man substituted for the great Auer at concert, and from that moment the young genius has had the eyes of the musical world upon, him.
 The reserved seat sale is now open at M. Steinert & Sons Co.,, 915 Main street.-Adv.

EMPIRE. I

Having scored such pronounced success as the vivacious little English actress in the days of the powdered wigrnAdT courtzyA ma4nefHdH ssThe WinntAE Of Sally Temp ple,r the charm ing Lasky actress, Fannie Ward, will now be seen as modern and clever young Fspciety woman in the photo dramatic adaptation of Stanislaus Srange's clever comedy .'AThe School for Husbands" which will be the Lasky- Paramount picture at the Elm pire this evening. The story of "The School for Husbands has to do with Betty Manners, the wife of John Man ners p John is frivolous young broker, who loves to gamble on the races and have d good time. His young wife, feeling that she must economize, goes around in most un- becoming and inexpensive clothes, John becomes infatuated with another woman and loses his money in the stock exchange just as his wife dis covers that she is the heiress to a vast fortune. Realizing thats she is losing her husband by her plain dress and ..stay at home" manner she starts out to win him back. She first arrays herself in better clothes and then, through an old friend, manages to arouse her husbands jealousy. How the husband is taught to look only toward his own fireside, is brought about by many clever and amusing situations. Miss Ward is first seen in rather faded wrapper, eye glasses and her hair brushed straight back. but later appears in an array of gowns such as she only can wear. For this production Miss Ward selected from her famous wardrobe some heretofore unseen creations. Regular program in conjunction. Tomorrow and Tues days programs will be headed by the film adaptation of Robert Chambers we'll known novel, 'HThe Hidden Chill dren,"i in which is featured Harold Lockwood and May Allison and the 14th chapter of ''The Great Secret" with Bushman and Bayne.

POLI'S

Andrew Mack in vaudeville is even more enjoyable than Andrew Ma,ck famed for his successes on the leg1ti- mate stage. This was proven to the satisfaction of capacity audiences who saw the very excellent program al Poli's yesterday. sMr. Mack is fea- tured in the vaudeville program and his melody monologue' won him new friends immediately. MT. Mack re- tains that personal magnetism that has always been an asset of his and his manner of delineating character stories and interpreting some delight full song numbers brought him into instant favor. His program is well selected and most pleasingly given. Irving Stenson> assists at the piano in Sn agreeable way.
 Tangled Lyes'fs the title of the feature photoplay, fve-part society drama Genevieve Hamper and big cast are very good in this interesting production The second of Paula Blackton's Country Life Series, enti- tied '-The Collie Market was also pre4ented. This series of charming stories, dedicated to lovers of the beautiful, is most delightful and "The Collie Market in two reels. made a hit. The Hearst-Pathe News is an- other interesting screen feature.
 Arthur DeVoy, the well known com edian, and a very capable company provided g lot of laughs with snappy domestic Somedy skit called His Wife's! Mother Elsie La Bergere, in classic statuesque posings, had an of fering that was as artistic as it was novel.
 
 Boudini Brothers demonstrated their ability as accordeonists, presenting a very enjoyable program.

PLAZA. {.

We saw something new last night. Yes, truly it was new! Dogs who are huYian and who run a little will lage of their own. They were at the Plaza under the title of Lipinsky's s Dogs and we give the Lipinsky mem Der of the act our sincerest praise for having chosen so wonderfully in- telligent group of canine performers. We won't say they were trained. It would be impossible to train dog to do the stunts these did. Like art, 1t is a gift. It was a performance that will live with us for months to come. We shall never forget the name.
 Lazar and Dale we have seen be- fore, but we were very glad to see them again. They were always en- tertaining and they know something. That is they keep injecting new quips that serve to fresh the skit up. More. over they have enough laughs woven into their offering to make you laugh until you feel you simply can't laugh any more. As musicians, their work is above par also. We liked them.
 Mir. and Mrs. Vernon was the bill ing of a ventriloquial offering that interested and amused us greatly. MT. Vernon was the only person we saw. Mrs. Vernon must work from behind. The number of dummies used was in- iteresting because of the. great strain of voice changing. And the talk that was carried on amused us

for instance. Every Lake county man
or woman who owns d motor car Is
required to list the car for taxation
when the township assessor comes
around In the spring. That is one
form of taxation The same owner
must apply for a state license and pay
the fee. That IS the second form OF
taxation. Now comes the war tax and
one Of the provisions Of the bill IS
that every motor car owner must pay
the government a certain percentage
Of the original cost price Of the car.
Thus the third form of taxation hits
the automobile user.
Many Lake county farmers viii be
hit by a form Of double taxation in
connection with the new war taxes.
The tax bill provides for income and
excess profit taxes. These provisions
