musical comedy enthusiasts happy in
years gone by, is at the Plaza on the
bill arranged there for the fore part
of the week in musical farce enti-
tied Say Uncle There are four

decidedly entertaining and artistic.
Both young people are exceedingly

YOU MUST SEE 1T!
MIR. DOCTOR:


Because your profession num-
bers thousands in the humane
service that is fighting the
beastIy cruelties of the Hun.
Mr.. Gerard depicts these most
vividly.
MIR. LAWYER:
Because Mr.. Gerard as a
statesman, the champion of
American independence, COPIED
with the greatest problems ever
emanating from international
law, and won, for you and your
country.
MIR. INDIAN CHIEF:
Because the melting pot" is
now separating the refined
patriot from the dross and de-
mands you be now real
American. Here you will learn
the true elements that forced
the war for democracy upon
America.
MIR. RICH MAN:
For what would it profit you
IL you gained Un6 WnOdo WOr1Q'S
goods only to feel the iron heel |
of Prussianism as Mr.. Gerard
saw 1t planted upon the very
VitaIs of Germany.
MIR. POOR MAN:
Because even the widows
mite is helping to finance this
war for national independence
and you will realize why our
nearest and dearest even our
last earthly possession must be
staked.
MIR. WORKMAN:
For it has been written by |
you, "Who said we started |
something that we could not |
finish q" Working conditions as
they exist in Germany could |
not be tolerated here. See
them as Gerard saw them.

LYRIC

Why the Poll powers in New Haven
have waited until this late day in the
season to give to Bridgeporters a play
of the calibre of The Lion and the
Mouse at the Lyric theatre, is be-
You'd the understandings of the writer
For the past several months they have
persisted in picking out light come
dies, unusual musical comedies and
farces which have featured everyone
in the cast but the leading man and
woman.
Last night Warda Howard was
given an opportunity to exhibit her
dramatic ability and as a result the
house was thrilled as it never has
been in the past.
Another thing that the writer no.
ticed was the fact that the principals
reserved their most attractive. ward
robe for such time as Mr.. Thatcher
should decide to assign them the
proper roles to look and act their
best.
Warda Howard as ''The Mouse" was
superb and ran the gamut from the
gentle pleading of a young girl for the
good name of her father to the won
derfully dramatic denunciation of
1.-THE Lion" which brought everyone
In the audience to the edge of their
seats and caused them to hold on with
a tense grip until the fall of the cur
tain.
AS she entered the study of ''The
Lion" Warda Howard was most be-
witching in one of the most attractive
gowns she has ever worn. 1t it was
little wonder that '"The Lion was
conquered. When the big dramatic
punch of the play arrived she was at
tired in a royal blue evening gown
caused the house to gasp in admira-
ton.
Edith Spencer, as the wife of "The
Lion" was also beautifully gowned
as was Gladys Knorr. as the daughter
of a senator.
Ainsworth Arnold played the part
of The Lion In a manner thai
pleased immensely, while the part Of
,the Supreme Court judge was char
Nacterized in faithful manner by
Arthur Buchanan.
AS Jefferson Ryder" the son o.
1.-THE Lion" Dudley Ayres, surpassed
himself, and it is no reflection upor
the splendid manner in which he por
trayed this character to reserve him
for the last. He endeared himself tC
the female portion of the audience
more than ever and it was with {
deep sigh of admiration mingled with
envy that they beheld him embrace
the heroine at the final fall of tn,
curtain.

Constipation Makes
Baby Uncomfortable

When its tender little organs arg
bound up with a congestion of
stomach waste in the bowels. Baby
is a mighty uncomfortable morsel
of humanity, and reflects its dis
comfort in its disposition. If
Mother will just give it tiny dose
of a mild laxative, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the con-
gestion will quickly loosen and be
expelled, and her child be normal
and happy once more.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
especially desirable for children,
because it contains no opiate or
narcotic drug, being a combination
of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, mild and gentle in action, posi-
tive in effect, and very palatable.
Children like it and take it read

and manifested its power and heart
appeal instantly, so that it was most
cordially received.
The story of The Lie is one. that
finds a ready echo in the hearts of
most audiences, because it is filed
with those human touches that ap-

To make a supreme sacrifice to save

selfish age, but when it is rewarded
with ingratitude as in the case of
