Amusements
 POLES

Every once in a while there comes to vaudeville a dramatic ,playlet that brings to the one-act sketch all the worth that goes to make up the suc- cessful drama of the legitimate stage. Such is The Hideaway," a ptaylet by Oliver White, presented as one of the big features in a very excellent bill at Polls. The story is about a recluse in the Canadian wiles and it's action centers about the story he tells to one who has befriended him. The climax is startling and sets on end the con clusions to which the audience might have jumped. MT. White gives pie turesque and interesting interpreta- ton of a difficult role and has a most excellent supporting company.
 Charles Dickens 'sThe Tale of Two Cities has been adapted for motion pictures and it loses none of tt0 in terest by it's scrsen arrangement. In six parts, the big drama is the film feature at Polls. William Farnum, the virile star, is the central figure in the ever popular story and the pro- duction is most interesting. The Hearst-Pathe News is another flm feature.
 A riot of fun is the pantomimic of fering by Bert Wheeler & Go. All sorts of unusual stunts creep into the novel offering and the finish is such as to produce gale of laughter.
 Sylvester & Vance, as "the fireman and the actress,' had an unusually pleasing way of presenting their songs and comedy and won favor with their high-class and carefully selected ma terfal.
 Bitts, Chidlow & Hart, a trio of real enter+-'- were right at home from the start with a variety slkit that was highly enjoyed from start to finish.
 Yamamito Bros, pair of ninble footed Orientals. completed the pro- gram with an offering that presented some thrills in a most artistic way.

Paul N. Miliukoff, the minister for foreign affairs in the provisional Rus sian government, has been one of the leading figures in the revolution. He lis we'll known in America. In 1901 he was banished from Russia for poli- tical views expressed while a.member of the faculty of the University of Moscow. He went to Chicago and be- came professor of Russian history at the University of Chicago.
 In 1898 Miliukoff was exiled to Siberia. He was in exile for two years, the result of which was his History of Russian Culture" a justi- fication of revolution.
 On his return to Russia he was rearrested and led across the frontier into Bulgaria. A warrant of expatria- Dtion excluded him for two years Miliukofrs answer was an immediate return to Petrograd, where he was again arrested and held in jail for five months without trial. When he was released he again went to Chi cago.
 On his third visit to America, in 1908, he told interviewers that his speeches in duma frequently were in terrupted by, some one shouting, American" or American citizen" He added, ESQ now almost invaria- ply begin my. speeches by quoting something American"

LITTLE OPOSITION
 TO RECREATION BOARD

Little opposition to tho creation of the public hearing before the common council last night. although the pro- motors of the plan took nearly an hour in explaining what a good thing it will fbe for the city of Bridgeport. ] For the first time since. the special commission was appointed by Mayor Wilson eight months ago the public had opportunity to find out what it was all about Alderman Joseph F. Onkey, the Democratic leader of the council, opposed the ordinance on the ground that it gave opportunity for what he considered unwarranted in- terference with theatres and other amusement enterprises now being con- ducted here.
 Attorney E. J. AfcManus flor certain citizens engaged in the moving pie ture business said that the law was framed to abolish the control of that business as now vested in the local authorities. He thought it might work hardship on his clients. Several of the motion picture theatre men op- posed the law explaining the regula- tions they are already forced to com ply with.
 Rev. John R. Brown, chairman of the commission, explained that the or dinance gave the commission the reg uIation of all commercial recreation theatres, shows of all kinds, dance halls, cabarets, boxing shows, etc. He said the commission was vested with powers of promotion to establish com munity centers in the public schools, arrange community dances in the school houses and exhibits, pageants and lectures for thes people. He said the commission will also have charge of all athletic sports that take place in public.
 George s. Flames, president of the park board, spoke in favor of the or |dinance. He said the time is coming when there must be room about school houses even if it is necessary to con- demn property and tear down build ings which now addoin some of them. i James G. Ludlun also favored the or dinance.
 Among the spectators were Miss Euphosyne Bown and Harvey c. Went, two of the commissi oners who helped draft the recreation commis- sion ordinance.

If You Dance Well With Only One, Get
 The License Ready,

Boston. March 20. - Rhythmic aff1nities'' are developed by the dance, Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, gym nasium director at Harvard univer- sity, said at a meeting of dancing teachers here. T
 "When a young man finds him. self getting into the rhythm of just one girl, and finds that he cannot dance as we'll with any other part ner, he has found his rhythmic mate, and he had better stop and think" said Dr.. Sargent. And when the same girl finds she can not dance as we'll with anybody but the same young man, they should. either announce their engagement forthwith or break away. There are such things as rhythmic afiini- ties"
 Both pr. Sargent and Louis A. Chalif of New York predicted that the waltz would displace the so- called modern dances next season.

These Proue Quality Claims

Chalmers claims motor of unex- ampled srnoothness, of unusual power. Prove it by examining Chalmers Lynite pistons, 1/3 the weight of the usual cast iron. These give smoothness, less strain on bearings, admit of higher power. Compare the Chalmers crankshaft with others. It is one-piece, special steel, drop-forged, balanced in mo- ton to a fraction of an ounce.

Only builder of long experience and with yearly output of thou sands could produce this car at so low price.
