K.ith,s-Louis Mann.


Dramatics, mirth, melody and dane
ing all combined to provide pleasant
entertainment at Keith's yesterday.
There are q number Of very clever
people on the program, chlet OF them
being, of course, Louis Mann, In
dramatic sketch, THE Good tor
Nothing" which displays his rich art
and ripened experience. Then there
is the Horelik Ensemble In THE
Gipsy Camp" with Russian dancing;
the Four Boises in aerial evolutions
extraordinary; pretty Ethel Hopkins
in songs Of the better sort, and many
other entertainers.
Louis Mann's playlet, THE Good
for Nothing" furnishes the sensa-
tionaI attraction of the week. 1t is
dramatic and engrossing in the ex-
treme and works up to a splendid
climax. Mr.. Mann contributes some
of the excellent character acting for
which he is noted. and he has capa-
Bile support.
Mr.. Mann's playlet is the best that
has been seen in vaudeville this sea-
son and its excellence is enhanced
many fold by the virile, and human
portrayal given ~ Mr.. Mann.
Sketches and acting OF this type are
far too rare in vaudeville. The au-
diences yesterday displayed their ap-
proval in no uncertain terms and the
number of curtain calls were limited
only by Mr.. Mann's modesty.
The Horelik Ensemble consists of
a dozen remarkable dancers in THE
Gipsy Camp" pantomimic tale of
the unhampered and wild passion of
the wandering gypsies. Lively Bessie
Browning and smiling Jack Denny
are a big asset of the bill. Their
songs, impersonations and piano
capers provide jolly entertainment.
Everyone admires a pretty woman
especially when she is clever and
talented, like Ethel Hopkins. rs
X. c. B. would say, las soon as 1
saw her knew right away I'd
made a mistake in seein' this show,
for I'm q married man and every
thing"
Then there's a lot Of fun in Black
face" Eddie Ross playing OF his
African harp and his merry chatter.
He whlstled double and triple notes
in harmony and gave coon songs
with zest on his old banjo. A vau-
deville bill would not be complete
without some clever acrobatics. and
this week We have the Four Boises,
casting artists and aerialists..
And the rest of the bill AVERAGES
up well. shadowgraphy is the art
which Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Wilde
have mastered. while shapely Gertie
and funny Archie fall all over the
stage to great laughter. Prof. Otto
Radl leads Keith's orchestra, and
the always interesting weekly mo-
tion pictures completed the bill Of
usual Keith quality.

til Thursday, is presenting one OF its
best summer bills headed by the Mil
lion Dollar Dolls. an offering that

while the comedian, Arthur West.
lives up to his advance notices-he
really makes them laugh.

fine bit of athletic posing and aero
batic work, with special scenery; Gil
bert Losee, whether triple voiced
or not, sings well in his natural
voice, has a fine falsetto and some
funny jokes; Dorothy Rogers and
Company in a fantasy, The Fortune
Teller" introduces an impressive
stage setting with a Mephisto assist
ant and a plot that is amusing; Ross
and Howard are clever entertainers
In dialect, dances and song; the
ziras, a pair of unusual juggIers
with Indian clubs and balls and a
finely staged set, and Hudler, Stein
and Phillips, each with an ancellent
voice, surpass those who have pre-

ful songs expertly arranged and ar
tistlcally sung.

day yesterday at Moore's Garden
Theater where Anita Stewart. the

in a vizuallzation of George Ran

The Message OF the Mouse" How
a tiny little rodent helped a brainy
young woman to frustrate the deep
laid plans OF International scoundrels
against the United States is pic
tured In a novel way upon the screen.
The girls father is an American ship
magnate. and five European nations
endeavor to divert twenty billions Of
American capital to their countries
by forming an international steam
ship trust using plans in his pos
session to gain this end. Her lover
is a Secret Service man detailed upon
the case, and he tells her that one
OF the spies Of the plotters is mas
Querading as her fathers valet
Father scouts the idea and lauds the
proposed trust as q blessing for the
United States. One night the valet
drops an important message written
upon a tiny piece OF paper; a little
harmless mouse picks It up, carries
1t into the girls room and scampers
away. The heroine and her lover
decipher the fiimsy note and see that
It spells ruin for America. When her
father is shown the true facts
he withdraws from the scheme.
The conspirators escape in a
ship that is blown up at sea, and
the girl through the message of the
mouse saves her beloved country and
wins a Secret Service man for a
husband.
The piece carries a strong patriotic
appeal, 1t is vitality interesting from
start to finish and some Of the scenes
notably the dynamIting of a huge
shipyard and the raiding OF the plot
ters' den-are thrilllngly realistic.
Miss Stewart acts with rare grace
and intensity the ro,e of the intre-
pid American girl and her support
ing company include L. Rogers Lyt-
ton, Julia Swayne Gordon and Ru-
dolph Cameron.

'OOreb UaEuen-bessie barrtscnle.
Dainty and winsome as ever, Bessie
Barriscale in a dramatic comedy of
New York's Bohemia and the Fourth
Estate entitled The Halter Of Men"
drew large crowds to Moore's Strand
Theater yesterday. In "Hater Of
Men" Miss Barriscale appears as
Janice Salisbury as special writer for
newspaper. She is engaged to
Billy Williams, another reporter, and
feels qualms for her future as she
watches him listening with keen en-
Joyment' to the testimony of q
fashionable divorce trial that intro
duces half of the chorus of a Broad
way show. A few evenings later she
attends a dinner where Phillips Hart
ley, known as the drawing room
philosopher" is a guest. He Is in
love with her but has never spoken
OF his love. Janice breaks her en-
gagement with Billy because Of his
Jealousy and lets it be known that
she Is not the marrying kind She
enters the Bohemian life and Hart
ley watches her with regret know
ing that she Is on the wrong track.
He tries to show her that she IL
living In the land OF tinsel. but she
fails to notice the change in the at
ttude OF her friends toward her.
How she is finally brought to her
senses and her eyes opened by the
man she really loves fills the hater
of men brimful Of entertaining epi-
sodes.
Miss Barriscale scores a delightful
triumph as the girl. who discovers
her hatred of men is not OF the last
ing sort, and Charles X. French and
Jack Gilbert appear to advantage as
her two faithful friends.

PROTECTIVE ASSO.

WILL INCORPORATE
UNDER new TITLE
"For Women and Children
Will Be Added to Name of
Organization.

The need Of larger quarters and OF
more funds to carry on the constantly
growing work Of the Bridgeport Pro-
tective association work in this city
was emphasized at the meeting OF
that organization held last night at
the headquarters, sol Myrtle avenue.
A feature Of the evening was the re-
port Of Mrs. M. H. Ford, chairman OF
the case committee, which showed
that during the year ending Dec. I,
1915, total Of 271 cases had been
naadled in the house and that during
December 80 more were to be added.
Mrs. Ford's report contained recon-
mendations for the establishment OF
a Juvenile court, a court of domestic
relations and a psychological clinic. 1t
showed that five things had been &C
complished by the Protective associa-
ton; first, families had been reunited
and rehabilitated; second, many run
away girls had been cared for until
they could be returned to their homes;
third, discouraged wives and mothers
had been helped to adapt themselves
and readjust themselves mentally and
had gained courage to renew the eff
fort to try again; fourth, employment
had been furnished to those seeking
ale in that direction, and fifth, many
had obtained clean, safe, nights 1odg-
ing and had gone their ways.
st'Strange as It may SEEM" said Mrs.
Ford, 'it is far more difficHlt for a
good woman with little or no means
to find lodgings in a strange city than
is generally known or possible to be-
lieve."
The report Of Miss Kathryn /.

The third year Of the ASSOCIATIONS ex-
lstence, according to the report,
showed an increase Of 400 per cent
in the amount of work accomplished

ed, that the budget must be increased

urged the official board to ask for
$4,000. The report of Mrs. Carolyn
committee, showed that during the
year ending Dec. /, 1915, a total of
7,346 meals and ASA lodgings had
been provided by the association.
During the year more than 1000 per-
sons had benefited by wearing APP
parel sent out by the association.
The report of the finance commit
tee read by Charles e. Weeks, chair
man, showed receipts of $5,sO0.71,
and expenditures of $5,05.4, with a
balance of $495.37 on Dec. l..
A house to house campaign for
$4,000 for the work of the associa-
ton, and for new members will be
begun in February.

So that it could be placed in the
position of a charitable corporation
to receive gifts under wills, the board
Of governors voted to incorporate un-
der the laws of the state and adopt
the name of the Bridgeport Protective
Association for Women and Children,
as being more definite than its former
title
