CATHERINE BROWN

Catherine Brown was a half blood
ed Cherokee, born at Willis Valley, in
the state of Alabama about the year
1900. Her fathers name in the In
dian language was Yan-nu-gung-yah-
ski, which, in English, is Drowned
by a Bear" His English name, from
his father, was John Brown. The
name of GATHERINGS mother was
Isa-luh. They were people of prop
erty and far above the level of their
race, but still had no education. They
could not speak a word of English.
In 1916 the American Board of For
eign Missions sent the Rev. Cyrus
Kingleys to the Cherokee nation, for
permission to establish a school in
their territory. This was granted and
school opened at Chicakomauga;
Tenn. Catherine. attended the school
and her progress was marvelously
rapid. In three months she learned
how to read and write. In the year
1918 she was baptized and caused
many of the natives to embrace Chris
tianity. She pushed her studies into
the higher branches of knowledge,
but while contemplating great things
for herself and her nation her health
began 20 decline. The change from
flying through the groves and pad
ding the canoe to such a sedentary
life aggravated her disease and she
died in July 1928.

WHAT'S GOING ON in THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

The Plaza was crowded at all three
performances yesterday and there was
a snappy and entertaining bill on
tapis that sends one out with q song
on his lips.
The feature vaudeville attraction
was 1.-THE Russian Pastime," with II
people and made up. of songs and
dances of Russian character with a
carload OF magnificent scenic effects
to enhance It. The act was evidently
complete surprise to the manage
ment for in the advance advertising
matter only five were mentioned. One
little fellow named Berxom was sup
posed to have been featured in the
advance notices. He was not even
mentioned, but his work attracted the
comment and admiration of yester-
days throngs- In fact, the entire
troupe was made up of expert Rus
sian acrobatic and whirlwind dancers
and 1t was worthy Of the title of a
production. rather than simply, an
act. The scenic establishment alone
was worth large percentage Of the
fee charged for admission. One of
the scenes represented Kremlin, the
famous church in MOSCOW, and was
greeted with a tumult of applause
when, the curtain rose.
Child and Ross have an italian COM
edy diversion entitled "At the Elec-
tion Polls" that keeps the laughs
coming at lively clip, while Conway
and Day, although getting along very
nicely until the girl began her Span
ish dance. fairly brought down the
house with applause at the finish of
the number.
The Harms Trio are acrobats and
we wish we had column or so to
tell about their talents in this line.
They are positive wonders and work
with such neatness and despatch that
one cannot help but admire them.
The female member of the trio bears
striking resemblance to Norma Tai
madge, the screen star.
The fifth episode Of the Germans
Retreat at the Battle Of Arras." Of

ECONOMIES

A neighbor of mine has had big
ate ap added dollars to the profits of
the garage. Its motion was the
height of luxury and it could OUTRAGE
every car in the road without apparent
effort. When the war came along and
there was talk of patriotic economy
and of saving gasoline for govern
ment use my friend sold the car. re-
placed it with a small one, saved two
thirds of the gasoline, yet retained
his chaeuffeur.
Two professional women were dis
cussing things in general, economies
in particular.
One said, "I shall not buy any new
clothes this year.
II shall,' replied the other. Sew
eral of our men havel eft for the
front; if my employer wants me for
some special job that those men
would have looked after, I want him
to find me as well groomed and as
smartly dressed as they would have
BEEN"
We'll, 1 certainly would not spend
any more money than I could help,
just now" responded the other
woman.
IT do not intend to, but instead of
buying one or two cheap frocks I
shall get one good dress, so that I
shall always have the confidence that
only something very well-tailored
can give. That's the only way you
can get good materials these days,
too"

LYRIC

At the Lyric this week there is a
show within a show and anyone who
enjoys the old fashioned idea of the
huskin' bee and all its attendant fun
can do no better than go to the Lyric
and see Quincy Adams Sawyer"
Heaven knows it was frightful
name with which to saddle such a
delightful young man who went
about making everybody happy,
solving all their difficulties and
smoothing all paths. Cross currents
OF nearly-blasted love affairs, the
blasting due to the unwilling charm
of the "city feller," the insidious
trouble bred by carping old woman
who insisted on revenging herself
upon a young girl whose birth she
knew to be legitimate, and yet who
she tried to scar with brand of lille
gitimacy, all furnish a basis for a
not inconsiderable plot.
II it can be SO every one in the
popular company works harder than
ever this week, but they seem to
the added work. Dudley Ayers is
ious damages and his is a spontan-
eous gaiety, very unaffected and
very convincing.
Warda Howard deserves increased
laurels for her portrayal of the blind
Alice Pettingill. Miss Howard would
seem to have made a thorough study
of the, tragedy of blindness and one
sees her really live that blindness
instead Of simply cropping her way
about i'm O. half convincing way.
Carrie Lowe had a double lead this
week in the Characterization of the
extremely irriscrible Mrs. Putnam
and the perfectly delightful Mrs.
Crowley. The most amazing thing in
the world, in the part of Mrs. Put
nam was the living example of a
fast waning consumptive. The writer
was Mortified by the actual belief
that Miss Lowe must have contracted
infiuenza-which would rob us of
one Of the most charming charac-
ter women Bridgeport has seen in
years and years. Her shifting to the
infitely humorous and wonderfully
done Irish lady was clever in the ex-
treme.

POL.I'S

Patriotism is not dying in Bridge
port. That is assured from the ap-
plause which greeted Edward Ev-
erett Hale's great masterpiece, "A
Man without a Country" when it
passed through five big acts of living
military life on the Poll screen last
night. It is destined to be one Of
the most patriotic appeals ever turnL
ed loose in America. H E. Herbert
in the leading role, plays the dual
personality with wonderful fidelity.
Kitty Francis and her big comedy
company il a full stage act entitled
Miss Murphy's Reception" creates
gales of laughter.
Yvette and Saranoff, with their
wild dancing, wierd and beautiful
violin playing and general happiness
inspire laughter. admiration and ap-
plause. .
Frances Dougherty, coincidence
complete, with her magnetic person.
atty offers a replete repertoire Of
classic and modern songs. She scored
heavily last might
Coughlin and Mack, two nifty boys
with cross-fire line of comedy and
some eccentric dancing, add to the
extreme of Bridgeport's previous
view, shows that novelty will take
even on a cold night
Expert rifle shooting, under crucial
test is amply demonstrated in a most
skilful exhibition presented by the
Gorgalis Trio.
The Poll bill is topped to it's per-
lection by Hearst-Pathe news release
which shows among other stirring
military features scenes at Camp
Devens, Aver, Mass, where Bridge
ports contingent in the national draft
have gone. .ss..

EMPIRE

The Douglas Fairbanks photoplay.
reaching for the Moon" which is
featured at the Empire theatre, shows
some exquisite scenes in a Venetian
village, including the characteristic
canals, with the picturesque banks
ana gondolas. It is by far one of the
finest Aircraft productions yet pro-
duced.
In this picture Mr. Fairbanks has
the time Of his life. After paying
most of it is broken in one of the
most thrilling hand to hand fights
ever staged for a motion picture
camera. He battles with six Italians,
throws his opponents against vases,
oil paintings, walls, out of windows,
and left sorry looking throne room
after he cleaned up tho gang.
The thrills are we'll spaced between
episodes of romance, comedy and
drama. AIR. Fairbanks is supported
by a distinguished cast, including
Baron Monsieur, envoy extraordinary
to the King of Belgium, and Hon.
James Whitley of the Belgium diplo-
matte service. One day while the two
latter gentlemen were lunching with
Mr.. Fairbanks, Director Emerson,
thinking they were actors, asked if
they wanted to work.
They laughed and then Mr. Emer-
son realized his blunder. However
they seemed interested and decided
to go through with it, and played
their parts for $40 a day, which they
turned over to the Red Cross Fund of
Belgium.

Fads and Fashions

Skirts are draped near the bottom
to form clinging lines about the feet.
Mink, velvet and paradise feath-
ers constitute some of the winter
hats.
Sport hats are no longer rough and
ready-they have become sophistica-
ted.
Hats with large brims turn back
and are held against the crown with
an ornament.
The short, rather fat umbrella, with
loop to swing over the arm, is very
good style.
A rose coral chain of beads may
well be the only knot of color in an
all-gray costume.
Women's aviation uniforms are
made in one piece. even including he'll
met and shoes.

HOW YOU SHOULD
CHOOSE YOUR WIFE

DIR. Frank Crane, the well known
editorial writer, says in the Decem-
Der American Magazine in an article
called eff were 21":
I'm choosing a wife I would insist
on three qualifications:
81. She should be healthy. 1t is
all well enough to admire an invalid
respect and adore her, but a healthy,
live man needs a healthy woman for
his companion, If he would save him
self a thousand ills.
2 She should have good common
sense. No matter how pretty and
charming fool may be, and some of
them are wonderfully winning, it
does not pay to marry her.
And 8. She should be cheerful. A
sunny. brave, bright disposition is a
wife's best dowry.
I las to money, or station in life, or
cleverness, or good looks, they should
not enter at all into the matter. If I
couldTind girl, healthy sensible and
cheerful. and If I loved her., I'd mar
ry her, If I were twenty-one."
