EMPIRE.

4n offering Wallace Reid and Anita King to the public as fellow-players, the Lasky Company feels that they have formed an ideal combination, and their first starring vehicle, a thrilling western drama. The Golden Fetter." which will be the Paramount feature at the Empire today and to- morrow, is story of unusual inter est.
 These two young people are typical Americans in every sense of the word. Wallace Reid has scored A great snc- cess in all his productions and was selected by Cecil B. De Mile to play as leading man for Geraldine Farrar ing his great production founded on the story of Joan of Arc Wally, as he is better known, is a typical big, husky American. When he has not been on the stage or before the cam era he has been civil engineer, cow boy, and everything else in fact that young man could turn his hands to-.
 Anita King has made herself more popular with the amusement seeking public by her splendid performances in "The Race" Anton the Terrible and "The Heir to the Hoorah." In The Golden -Fetter she is given a sti11 better opportunity. In addition to her photo-dramatic activities, Miss liking has the distinction of being the first woman to motor across the American continent alone and is at present the only one of the thousands of motion picture people in Los An geles occupying a civil position-t of City Mother, in charse of the hun dreds of screen-struck girls who visit that metropolis.
 { Tn "The Golden Fetter" MT. Reid is seen as young mining engineer who has come West to seek his for tune. Anita King is a New England school teacher who is suddenly thrust into the turmoil and excitement of a Western town. How the money which she invested in a worthless mine is returned to her and steel handcuffs which bind her to the man She loves are turned into fetters of gold, is. brought about ifi a most dra- matic and gripping napner. Numer- ous other screen plays of merit.

LYRIC

sBeginning tonight and running all this week, with matinees on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, seLittle Peggy O'Moore' will be pre- sented at the Lyric theatre in Main street and if the advance sale of seats ! is any criterion the Lyric Popular Players will play to Capacity houses this week as they did last. Extreme care has been taken in rehearsing this weeks vehicle and flaw1ess per- formances are promised. The scenic fnyestiture is larger than ordinary and will comprise some of the most at traetive settings ever seen on a Bridgeport stage The female char acters in the play will havel many op- portunities to display gorgeous gowns.
 Interesting from start to- finish, the plot of "Little Peggy O'Moore" is con- strpcted around the politicf life in one of our present day Amefican cit ies. There lis action every minute yet the tense situations are plentifully relieved with hearty laughs There isn't a dull moment in the piece and those who are looking for a better Nclass entertainment will do well to vis- it the Lyric. @
 From a point of interest it is hard to choose the most important char acter for there are hardly any "bits" in the piece. Of course Miss Frances McGrath and David Herbhn$wHl have the leading roles to be closely fellow ed by Ethel Daggett and Bernard Thornton. William Evarts will have one of those delightful character roles which he manipu1ates so lclevefly while Walter Marshall will take care of the heavy end. Frank Gebhardt, easily Bridgeport,s most popular ju- venile, will have an appealing role. You'll be sorry if you miss "Little Peggy O'Moore' and you will if you don't order your seats early.

popular teams in vaudeville will fill an important spot in a manner that will surely bring joy to those who appreciate an artistic blending of song, dance, and merriment.
 The Five Young Americans, as c1ev- CT a 'Kid" act as Bridgeport has ever had in it's midst is another attraction of uncommon merit that has been se- cured, while Jim and Anna Francis in their pianologue, eccentric song and dance should have little difficulty in establishing themselves as favorites.
 Several comedy films including one of the famous Christie Comedies will complete a most entertaining spro- gram.

Southern has one of the most remarkable roles of his career and he is ably supported by charming Charlotte Ives. The story of the play is deeply absorbing and holds interest to rthe final scene.
